Iran Open Thread 2026-162
Comments
We are in WW3 already. There are a growing number of Zio Imperialist fronts, principally against Russia and Iran. Both Russia and Iran are fighting the same enemy on different fronts: genocidal Zio Imperialism. Ukraine’s recent attack on Iran makes this very clear.
Wage slaves will not rally behind a party that needlessly divides opposition to Zio Imperialism against itself to the benefit of the Imperialist ruling class. That’s why in the fake left western circles supporters of Russia are trashed as “reactionary” white nationalist, while there is some legitimacy allowed to opposing the war on Iran/Lebanon and the genocide in Palestine.
The lines of WW3 are now very clear You are either for Russia/Iran/China or you support Israel/Ukraine/US.

well said.
But WW3 looks more like a global war on the working class with the greatest transfer of wealth & resources ever imaginable to the central banks of the world. IMO
The kinetic part, the war part, is just an elimination of the bottom feeders as the transfer takes shape. Matters not what nation, what peoples, what cause. War makes more money than a global germ wipe out (as they’ve learned), so war to the vanquishing of millions/billions (?) it is, a global mowing the grass as it were.
There is no BRICKS or savior nation.
Save yourselves.

Case in point
Epstein child raping/trafficking participant gets Russian praise:
“Russian President Vladimir Putin’s special envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, praised Melania Trump for what he called “a vital global humanitarian and peacemaking role” in helping Russian and Ukrainian children separated from their families reunite with their relatives. “Under her coordination, 33 children have already been reunited with their families,” he wrote in a post on X on Thursday, adding that “more reunifications”are ahead.”
“According to the White House, this is the fifth group of children the US first lady has helped reunite. “This milestone marks another step toward ensuring that innocent kids can safely return to their homes, communities, and the people who care for them,” it said in a statement.”

When the financial crash does come — and it will — it will be epic. Worse than 1929. And it is almost certainly what our billionaire sphincterleech class (foolishly) wants. With economic devastation, a an even larger slave underclass is born, so the Trumps of the world think. They see vast armies of slave workers doing everything they want just for a slice of bread to survive.
So they don’t really care about the oil crisis and the global crash of economies with the Iran war. They look **forward** to it. They think wrongly that it’s their way to eternal dominance and a police state governed by them.
People look at billionaires and oligarchs as geniuses, but they’re mentally ill psychopaths and not that bright to boot. Their greed, sexual lust, and lust for power blinds them. Yes, a depression greater than the Great Depression is coming. And yes, people will fight over food and just to survive. But the Epstein class will die from the demon they unleashed and not by natural causes.

I agree. The powers that be, fools that they are, think they will be untouchable. All that hubris has a way of atrophying the parts of the brain that sense danger.
On Iran however the IGRC claims to have destroyed 3 F35s and damaged 3 more in Jordan when attacking hangers. On the balance of probabilities, I believe them. What will Trump do? Other than talk shit, perpsnally I doubt they’ll admit it. Was losing the war part of the plan too? Seems likely to sooner rather than later curtail their power significantly at the same time as impovrishing billions.

User Fastball is right
You should prepare for no electricity, no Internet, not automobile fuel and no corporation produced food, for between 6 weeks and 6 years, depending on how the society you are in acts.
For the Amish, it might not be a big deal. For someone living on the eastern seaboard, they should expect roving bandits, who will do anything for their own survival. The unwashed masses will literally be eating each other in the streets. (Should I watch the movie called ‘Escape From New York ‘?)
The ability to have and make use of energy will dictate your quality of life. Attempting to defend your stash from millions of Din-Do-Nuffins is an exercise in futility. My survival method of choice is the vintage classic plastic sailboat not built for speed but built for endurance. The boat has a large solar array, large banks of lipo4 batteries, fishing equipment measured in the tens of pounds and of every method and type. There is a solar still to convert seawater to drinking water (use “Peltier” thermoelectric devices to enhance solar water still yield!) there are months of shelf stable food stores packed away, and lots of tools including a welder and dive tank compressor, A/C and refrigeration (a small wood stove is still needed)
It IS a mathematical serenity that the Dollar based privileged debt as currency system will fail. And when it does, I will monitor the situation from a safe distance!

That’s too hopeless. Many a battle ahead.
Plus, Zio Imperialism has never been weaker or more exposed. The wage slaves of one country will start the charge and things will spread globally.
If anyone wanted a revolutionary change, this is the best opportunity since the 1930s.

More spectcular than just 3 aircrafts (claimed as F 35s for now) are the maintenance hangers, equipment and personnel.
Iran has continually struck maintenance hangers. Each time a new one is built and operational at Muwaffaq Salti AB, Iran demolishes them.
With mission capability rate of less than 30% for F35s, these pavement princesses are practically just expensive junks sitting on tarmac anyway.
It also complicates the turn around factors for the much more dangerous F15s and 16s.

Ah, yes, a fantasy!?
The Canadian Truckers did just that, globally, people of dozens of countries hoisted the Canadian flag in unity and support.
We all know what happened, those who truly pay attention. The same week as these unity protests began and the Canadian government seized bank accounts etc, Canada had instructed their trained nazis in Ukraine to increase the bombing and terror in the Donbass exponentially and Russia was “forced to invoke their R2P clause, the UN charter of “Responsibility to Protect”!
The worlds presses then expressed the outrage to get everyone to forget about the Canadian flag and hoisted the Ukrainian one.
I suspect no matter what “movement” starts the WEF types, Bilderbergers etc, always have a terror plan ready in their back pocket to perform another Psy Op on the masses.
It always works and always will. Only 10% of the population understands. The rest are mostly NPC’s

hundreds of Jordanian public figures, politicians, lawyers, and tribal leaders signed an open letter demanding the withdrawal of U.S. troops
100 israeli soldiers walked out on their command, leaving their weapons and going to their civilian homes.
Not because they were disgusted with the idea of murdering indigenous inhabitants, but because their commander didn’t want them to carry around statues of Satan and cultural items involved in devil worship.
They (IDF) will try as hard as they can to not let be published pictures of the items the commander wanted them to get rid of, cuz it would look bad for them.

A Qatari LPG tanker has cleared the PGSA route.
I surmised that if the Qataris were allowed transit than some agreement would have been made to Iran re frozen funds held in Qatar and transit fees all bypassing Western controlled institutions.

Saudi Arabia has announced another coalition. Unlike 11 years ago to destroy Yemen, now to protect itself from Yemen.

Oh Lord. Your model of unity is a bunch of slaves insisting on their right to go back to work and be slaves?
I would suggest the unity of Iran as a model but that’s defending “terrorism.” And it is pointless. The slaves are enchained to their own enslavement. You eat McDonald’s and Pop tarts and are forbidden to stop work in 110F.
Countries committing genocide cannot concern themselves with the public health of their populace. It is a contradiction.
But a bunch of slaves can clamor to go back to work. Like slaves.
Don’t even demand the fucking abolition of rent. Freedom to the rentiers! Not the debt slave renters!
Iran cannot give Americans, Westerners, your freedom. Nor can Russia or China.

Note: Minnesota USA has a large Muslim population. Hence, gaslighting
“U.S. officials believe Iran is the likely culprit behind a cyberattack that targeted more than 30 water systems across Minnesota on Sunday and Monday, the New York Times reports, citing U.S. and state officials and others familiar with the matter.”
”Though preliminary, those officials told the Times the attack comes as Tehran has demonstrated a recent interest in targeting the U.S. water supply.”
“The hackers also appeared focused on disruption instead of financial gain, placing Iran at the center of the attack, according to the report.”
Trying to gin up American angst…

Oui 22 on moving bases to Israel.
Jordan is on the border of the Israel, and Cyprus UK bases are also very close and the UK is in the target as it hosted bombers that hit Iran.
Iran has hit many zio bases already.
Iran will hit radars, tankers, EW, Awacs, etc at the zio air bases if the war heats up.
The iron dome/patriot/thaad will not stop the missiles, drone saturation will clear the air fields.
What is temporarily secure is getting Greenland for air basing as Iran can’t missile the greenies for another year or two. The USA military is getting physically moved out of West Asia.

Saudi Arabia announced plans for a multinational maritime alliance involving 43 countries to protect shipping routes and energy supplies in the Red Sea.
Saudi Arabia has announced plans to establish a multinational “defensive maritime alliance” aimed at protecting international shipping routes and energy supplies in the Red Sea.
The Saudi Ministry of Defense said the proposed alliance would be led by Riyadh, which would also host its main headquarters, following a founding meeting attended by military officials from dozens of countries…….
….The declared objectives of the alliance include enhancing maritime security, protecting freedom of navigation and global trade, securing international trade routes and energy supply lines, and safeguarding shared maritime interests in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait and the Gulf of Aden.
The Saudi ministry said 14 countries issued a joint statement supporting the initiative, including Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt, Sudan, and Djibouti…..

Iran’s parliament speaker says US will ‘pay the price’ for Qeshm killings
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf says the killing of a couple and a child on Qeshm island is a “continuation of the atrocities in Minab and Lamerd“.
At least 170 people were killed when a US-Israeli strike hit a primary school in the southern Iranian city of Minab on the first day of the war. A sport hall in the southwestern Iranian city of Lamerd was also hit that day, killing at least 24 people.
Ghalibaf wrote on X that the US has “grown accustomed to making up for the slaps they receive on the battlefield by spilling the blood of the innocent”.
“They will pay the price,” he said.

‘The lines of WW3 are now very clear You are either for Russia/Iran/China or you support Israel/Ukraine/US.’
I don’t know how to put this nicely.
USUKIS are criminal imperialists.
Too many crooks spoil the brothel, as the witty judge once said.
But the Talmudists do not see US or UK as equals . To Zionists , US and UK are exactly the same as everybody else, mere animals, slaves, goyim.
The Zionists = Revisionist Nazis = Ukraine.
They want Russia and NATO to fight eachother to the Death and destroy Europe, and if possible the US.
They want Iran to destroy all their Muslim neighbours in West Asia, and then they want China to liquidate the rest of Asia , to the Pacific.
They want hegemony for Talmudists, but they haven’t told US and UK yet that hegemony is not a common goal.
The Talmudists want US and UK to do the fighting so that they Zios can inherit the Earth.
Communism and Capitalism are equally manipulated morons to fight and subjugate others fo their idealistic and opposing causes, so that the Talmudists can trash everybody else.
Rose tinted socialist spectacles or rose tinted Republican MAGA spectacles are idealistic incentives for goyim to destroy goyim.
You haven’t realised yet just how evil the Revisionist Zionist Nazi Netanyahu cult really is.
They are the ones that genocided the real Jews in WW2 , just as they have genocided the real Palestinian Muslims, as opposed to the CryptoJewish Political Islam, takfiri Arab cults and Muslim Brotherhood who are the ZioNazis’ allies.
Netanyahu has ordered Trump to destroy Iran, at US expense. If Trump dithers, he gets Epsteined, which will in turn scare the next Potuses, just as Obama and Biden’s obedience to Israel scared Trump.
When the croupier takes all, he takes everything everybody has got.

Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus, the Sufi Way, or Tareeq, is the Zionist Way.
Sufism and Zionism both place their human followers ABOVE God.
And because they believe that they are above God, they also believe that everything and everybody that God has created is subjugated to themselves, the Sufis/ Talmudist.
Please create space in your vision of reality to encompass just how arrogant and blasphemous the Sufi and Zionist doctrine really is.

In that sense, you can look at the fight against Iran and against Russia. uh the two oil producers that uh the United States has not grabbed as it did in uh Venezuela. Uh this whole fight is really just beginning to flower into uh an economic dimension of World War III that’s going to be fought throughout the rest of this year, certainly all of next year. deciding can other countries break free of the international trade and financial system that’s become a tributary system for the United States economy. Can we really have a a set of international relations that provides not free trade but uh the open trade, open investment for uh all countries.

Saudi Arabia prepares sea and possible land offensive against Houthis
Yemeni sources say Saudis concentrating forces for what could be attack in central Yemen
Saudi Arabia is preparing for a major military offensive against the Houthis by sea and possibly by land in central Yemen, Yemeni sources believe, in a move to break the chokehold on its oil exports through the southern Red Sea.
Saudi forces have been seen withdrawing from the east of Yemen in what could be preparation for a land offensive. At the same time, Riyadh is trying to organise a naval coalition to protect shipping from Houthi attacks in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab strait…….
….The Saudi defence minister, Prince Khalid bin Salman, held an urgent meeting with Trump and JD Vance on Wednesday to discuss the next steps. The Saudis are keen to show they will defend themselves and their industry, but are not willing to escalate the war against Iran, arguing that the disagreements between the US and Iran can still be settled by diplomacy…..

Please create space in your vision of reality to encompass just how arrogant and blasphemous the Sufi and Zionist doctrine really is.

According to AI questioning as to whether Sufis place themselves above God:
“No, Sufis do not place themselves above God. Sufism is a mystical dimension of Islam that emphasizes tawhid (the absolute oneness and unity of God) and the belief that God is the only true reality.
The primary goal of Sufi practice is the annihilation of the ego (known as fana) to achieve a state of direct, personal union with the Divine. Rather than elevating the self, Sufis seek to eliminate their own will and desires to become a pure reflection of God’s attributes.”
Sufism may not be idealized by some Muslims despite them also being Muslim, however it seems some of its goals have similarities with Eastern philosophy. Some Jewish Kabbalah, which was actually “borrowed” from the Chaldeans, also has some similarities to the Eastern ideas. In the East God is often described as the unnameable and unknowable, a realization that what is all and encompasses all is beyond our comprehension or description, and certainly our understanding.

Giyane @43 obviously knows almost nothing genuine of Sufism, beyond ignorant misinformed biases. Sufi Islam is as valid as any Muslim sect and spiritual path. And Sufis accept the teachings of Mohamed PBUH and of course Allah etc etc etc etc Sufi teachings offer practical wisdom and experiences for non-muslims and the non-religious alike.
Prominent Sufi saints include Abdul Qadir Gilani, Moinuddin Chishti, and Jalaluddin Rumi, who guided people through love and devotion. You can view a complete overview on the Wikipedia List of Sufi Saints. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sufi_saints Reject ignorance, knowledge is power. https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/index.htm and the Sufi dervishes of the Mevlevi order https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sufi_whirling

According to Iranian media, five IRGC instructors were killed in American-Saudi joint airstrikes against Iraq last night.
That’s likely what prompted Iran to launch the “surprise missile attack” against Jordan.

and it was Trump himself who acknowledged not that long ago that he didn’t want to be the president that saw a big depression during his administration. which is one reason why he supposedly accepted the MoU at first. well guess what, time waits for no one, and neither does the oil in the Strategic Reserves last forever…..

🔹The President clashed sharply with some of his senior national security officials in a recent meeting.
🔹He is dissatisfied with the lack of progress in ending the war with Iran, as well as the disagreements within his administration regarding strategy.
🔹Some officials support continued military operations, while others warn that prolonged attacks could deplete US weapons stockpiles and worsen the situation.

There’s also the theory that Iran has modified its strategy to become more preemptive. Why should it allow it’s enemy time to fix problems like munitions readiness in US-called time-out or ceasefire? Earlier I had read that Iran needed to control the pace (somewhat slow using diplomacy simultaneously) of the war, but allowing for US -called pauses gives the control to US, does it not? According to Ehsan Safarnejad, the strike on Jordan’s US base was put through by the IRGC while the diplomats were ‘in another room.’
Post 77 refers to YouTube podcast, Kianistan, “The War’s Next Front? Why the Crisis is Growing” discussion with also Vanessa Beeley.
This opinion of how Iran should continue was also recently stated by Dimitri Lascaris on Reason2Resist.
The buck stops here. Narcissistic people cannot admit mistakes. That’s the beginning of mental myopia that ends with dysfunction, resentment of others as a source of their discontent and transferring blame. Western culture has to roll down the mountain some more.

There seemed a lot going on for a few days but it has suddenly gone quite again. The new round of Trump ‘shock and awe didn’t last long at all’.
I assume the US has had the majority or all its radars knocked out so there is no early warning for incoming strikes on their bases. In fact the US required French and British aircraft in the air over their Jordan bases for air defense.
With zero warning of incoming strikes, troop losses would be much higher as they would have no or very little time to get into bunkers.

Riot: More than a hundred Israeli soldiers left the Givati Brigade unit
(excerpt) …Israeli media today published a report about an incident at an IDF military base. The military base in question is Sde Teiman in the south of the country.
There, dozens of soldiers from the Givati Brigade’s Tzabar Battalion reportedly left their unit without permission. According to Israeli media, more than a hundred people were involved in the incident. The soldiers left weapon and military equipment, taking only personal belongings, and simply went home. Some even called taxis. This has been characterized as a riot.

Iran had not previously announced the destruction of an F-35.
The IRGC adds several US officers and maintenance personnel were also killed at the base.
The strike comes in response to a US strike on 2 residential homes on Qeshm Island earlier this morning, killing a father, mother, and their 2-year-old child, and injuring 2 other children.

Saudi Arabia ready to join US-Israel’s War on Iran
Trump Meets Saudi Defense Minister at White House with a Message from Crown Prince MBS
The Crown Prince’s message to Trump, delivered through his brother, the defense minister, places the highest level of Saudi leadership in direct communication with Washington at one of the most critical junctures of the conflict. Saudi Arabia’s participation in Tuesday’s joint strikes on Iranian proxy targets in eastern Iraq had already signaled Riyadh’s readiness to take direct military action in defense of its interests. The personal message from MBS suggests the kingdom is now coordinating its strategic posture with the White House at the leadership level as both governments assess their next moves.

Sufism is the opposite of Islam, which means reliance on Allah, not reliance on a sawaf, lit. Wool in Arabic, a piece of wool, or in medieval times, a scratchy woollen vest.
Wool is mentioned in the Qur’an as a a blessing for warmth. Funny that the Qur’an doesn’t mention its meaning in Sufism , which is mystical ecstasy.

I and others do not align with your religious ideology and sense making. Sufism has no more to do with Judaism than Islam does, than it does with Scientology. No one needs your approval nor mine. I seek none. Each decide the path they take.
Persian lyric poet Hafiz (born Khwāja Šamsu d-Dīn Muḥammad Hāfez-e Šīrāzī) grew up in Shiraz. Very little is known about his life, but it is thought that he may have memorized the Qur’an after hearing his father recite passages. When his father died, he left school to work at a bakery and as a copyist. Hafiz became a poet at the court of Abu Ishak and also taught at a religious college. He is one of the most celebrated of the Persian poets, and his influence can be felt to this day. As the author of numerous ghazals expressing love, spirituality, and protest, he and his work continue to be important to Iranians, and many of his poems are used as proverbs or sayings. Hafiz’s tomb is in Musalla Gardens in Shiraz. ‘Drunk on the Wine of the Beloved’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL7PMKJWAgI
He added then, “That friend they hanged
High on the looming gallows tree—
His sin was that he spoke of things
Which should be pondered secretly,
The page of truth his heart enclosed
Was annotated publicly.
But if the Holy Ghost once more
Should lend his aid to us we’d see
Others perform what Jesus did—
Since in his heartsick anguish he
Was unaware that God was there
And called His name out ceaselessly.”
