This guy is predicting that Iran will be 1000 times better than it was and will be a booming economy with advanced AI in the next 2-5 years.

Not sure if he's overly optimistic or how he draws his conclusions. The video is too long ...

He is Iranian though so he knows the history of his country.

But he may be right. I will take a break from all the "noise" of which bomb is falling where .... it may pass fairly soon and Iran may bounce back to be much better. And then Trump will look like a genius in 5 years if that happens.

I wouldn't presume that an Iranian knows the history of his country. Americans don't know the history of their country, neither do Brits and others. I knew a Bahraini who swore blind that the oldest Mosque in Bahrain was 4000 years old.

It might well bounce back. It might well collapse in Somali-like failed state. They might become miserable underperforming <deleted> like the Russians.

Not a good joke. 6 crew members died. The other plane was a dead stick. Parachutes were eliminated 8 years ago to save money.

Apparently precautionary, and not an invasion force.

Stryker hack by Pro-Iran group

Among other things, Stryker makes hip joints, lots of them. The hack has basically shut the company down, including manufacturing. Potentially hospitals will run out of the high volume stuff fairly soon if they can't get it sorted. Jaguar went 3 months without making any cars when it was hacked.

Donald Trump deploys 5,000 Marines to the Middle East amid fears of new war phase

President Donald Trump has reportedly deployed 5,000 marines to the Middle East as both the U.S. and Israel continue to pummel Iran with coordinated strikes.

The deployment of troops to the Strait of Hormuz comes as many fear there could be conflict over the waterway, through which most of the world's oil flows. Three officials told the Wall Street Journal that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth approved the request from U.S. Central Command on Friday.

According to officials, the request was for an expeditionary unit comprising several warships and a 5,000-strong complement of troops. The Daily Mail reported that the Japan-based USS Tripoli, an amphibious assault ship, along with a troop complement, is now on its way to the Middle East.

SOURCE EXPRESS US

so the USA attacks Iran and says they WON but in the mean time Iran is fighting back, the guy with a 2 sizes down jacket at the defense department kept saying that 90% of Iran boats, drones, missiles, etc. were gone, that Iran has barely anything to fight back and yet they are kicking USA axxx, and it's with Russian help thus Putin become Trump's enemy because he's helping Iran while at the same time making big money thanks to Trump the lifted Russian oil sanctions, that's the best move the master of the deal could have made, Putin has a big smile all over his face and will keep helping Iran as much and as long as possible because the longer the war in Iran last the more money he makes, once again overplaying Trump because the moron didn't see it coming

This guy's theory on the war in Iran:

• its not about nukes / ballistic missiles

• its not about regime change

• its about china because china was making deals with venezuela and iran, trading oil for Yuan to undermine the US Petro-Dollar. So Trump wanted to send a message to China to not mess with the Petro Dollar system. Also, Trump is meeting with Xi soon and will negotiate a bunch of things, so this attack gives him leverage.

• Plus, Israel has been itching to attack anyway

• Trump will throw Israel under the bus, withdraw US military and the Israelis will be left fighting with Iran

Trump questions whether Iran's new supreme leader is even alive - as he says he is not ready to make a deal to end war

President Donald Trump has said he is not ready to make a deal with Iran to end the war 'because the terms aren’t good enough yet'.

In an interview with NBC News, the president also questioned whether Iran’s new supreme leader is 'even alive'.

SOURCE

Newt Gingrich endorses a plan.

Instead of fighting over a 21-mile-wide bottleneck forever, we cut a new channel through friendly territory. A dozen thermonuclear detonations and you’ve got a waterway wider than the Panama Canal, deeper than the Suez, and safe from Iranian attacks.2

The Canal Commission estimated you could nuke a canal for $5 billion. You know what else costs $5 billion? A few days of this war. It pays for itself before the fallout settles.

.....“The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty?” Never ratified it. Even if we did, who cares. Next.

“The environmental impact?” Mr. Secretary, Iranian oil is leaking everywhere. Tankers are on fire near Fujairah. This approach is constructive destruction.

“Radiation?” Radiation is the most overblown left-wing conspiracy since climate change. The Plowshare’s 1962 underground Sedan test fallout reached South Dakota in 1962 and South Dakota is fine. Went for Trump by thirty points. Plus, the residual glow keeps Iran from trying anything funny near the new channel.

Trump refused to be drawn on who it was, saying: "I can’t tell you that. I don’t want to embarrass him. It would be very bad for his career, even though he’s got no career."

Trump's lies are becoming more preposterous by the day. His creation of imaginary figures and imaginary conversations should be a wake up call to the GOP. Don't they realize he is making them all look like a bunch of dummies? I guess not, since they continue to support him.

he keeps claiming that was a big win, they obliterated Iran's army and everything they had, if that is the case how can Iran keeps sending missiles into it's neighbors and block the strait, it doesn't sound right

and as usual when things don't turn out in his favor and people start to question some of his decisions, his last resort is to blame somebody else, the usual it's not me, it's them

President Donald Trump’s claims that he had no prior knowledge of Israeli strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure have been contradicted by sources inside both the U.S. and Israeli governments.

Well, you should know by now that you cannot believe anything that comes out of the mouth of the orange clown, and along with that, the mouth of tiny Pete, his Secretary of War, because they are both compulsive liars and continually prove it with their lies and ramblings, and just yesterday tiny Pete was caught out lying by the family of one of the soldiers whose body was repatriated after the aircraft crash. Read on......

"This week, Pete Hegseth told the press that he met with the families of the airmen who died in the tragic KC-135 accident in the Middle East that killed six servicemembers.

“What I heard through tears, through hugs, through strength and through unbreakable resolve was the same from family after family. They said, ‘Finish this. Honor their sacrifice. Do not waver. Do not stop until the job is done,” Hegseth said.

How convenient for the Trump administration that the families of the men who died in their unprovoked, illegal war of choice were so patriotic and supportive of…whatever the mission is supposed to be.

But, as usual, these shameless, disgusting liars are full of sh*t.

Charles Simmons, father of fallen airman Tyler Simmons, told NBC News that he never said anything of the sort to Hegseth.

“I can’t speak for the other families. When he spoke to me, that was not something we talked about,” he told NBC News in an interview Thursday.

When asked if he said anything to Hegseth or Trump about the need to keep fighting the war, Simmons said, “No, I didn’t say anything along those lines.”

Of course, one wonder then how we are able to see photos of bomb damage in Iran. Carrier pigeon?

Iran turned off public access to the Internet. The Iranian government still has internet access.

The Ukrainians had better be well rewarded for their efforts. But i think trump will leave them hanging out to dry.

I still can't figure out how the heck Iran can still send missiles to Qatar, Israel and now also to US & UK base, where did they found the launchers and missiles since all their army was obliterated, completely destroyed and couldn't do anything, yet they keep sending missiles on a daily basis... could it be the Chinese or the Russians disguised as Iranians
