US-Iran War Mudpit Thread

[CriticalStinker]

I’m sure hitting the lifeblood of their economy will win over the Iranian people. Once their power is out, and their short term future is destroyed, they’ll seek salvation from the US and Israel.

This is how you win hearts and minds while pressuring people against their government.

I’m sure this will be over soon now like Trump said. The strait will open, and we’ll have a new ally, Iran.

You MAGA cult guys really can't stand anyone who shows Trump for what he really is, a con-man and grifter who doesn't really give a sh*t about the average American. You'll be clapping each other on the back when Trump tries to claim he's a traitor and weak, maybe remember what old dozzy Don said about Joe Kent in the past????...

"#Iran has just announced its target list of energy infrastructure in the #GCC region. If they are successful in launching attacks on these facilities we will be in a very different escalatory environment that could cripple the global economy.

This is list has significant US corporate exposure. Here is my analysis of the list of facilities that have been targeted:

1. SAMREF Refinery Yanbu
This refinery was specially built to bypass the Straits of Hormuz. US major Exxon has significant stake in this refinery.

2. Al-Hasan Gas Field (Shah/Al Hosn Gas Field)
Iran has already struck this field and operations suspended. This field has 20% of the UAE’s gas supply and provides 5% of the world’s granular sulphur. US major Occidental Petroleum has a 40% stake in this field.

3. Jubail Petrochemical Complex
One of the largest industrial developments in the world. It accounts for anywhere between 7-10% of global petrochemical production.

4. Mesaieed Petrochemical Complex
This facility was already hit and production suspended. Wanting to hit it again is an attempt to cause more serious damage. Chevron subsidiary has a 49% stake in this complex

5. Ras Laffan

 In my opinion this is the most significant target and a direct answer to targeting South Pars.

It is the largest LNG production facility anywhere in the world accounting for 1/5 of global supply. Any attack the damages the above facilities will contribute to the substitution problem already being experienced because of the Straits being effectively closed."

Interesting exchange between Mossad and an Iranian Police Commander ...

Some insight into how Mossad operates.   
Some insight into how those in Iran feel.
(Unless the Iranian was lying to save his life)

Anyways ... really interesting.

NY POST

A senior Iranian police commander recently told an agent of Israel’s renowned Mossad intelligence service “I swear on the Koran I’m not your enemy” and begged the Jewish state to “please come help us” overthrow the Islamic Republic, according to the contents of a leaked phone call.

 
The call, reported by the Wall Street Journal Wednesday, was one of several placed by Israeli intelligence threatening Iranian security officials and their families by name if they did not stand aside in the event of a popular uprising to overthrow the mullahs.

 
“We know everything about you. You are on our blacklist, and we have all the information about you,” the Mossad agent told the police commander in Farsi. “I called to warn you in advance that you should stand with your people’s side. And if you will not do that, your destiny will be as your leader [Ayatollah Ali Khamenei]. Do you hear me?”


“Brother, I swear on the Koran, I’m not your enemy,” the commander responded. “I’m a dead man already. Just please come help us.”

They are like a person drowning in a river, grabbing everything and everyone to keep themselves afloat, but in reality taking everyone down with them.

"Israel says it is bombing bridges to disrupt Hezbollah supply lines.

But on the ground the reality is stark: entire routes into southern Lebanon are being severed — effectively cutting off around 1 million people from their homes.

Families who have lived on this land for generations now face the very real risk of permanent displacement, unable to return, rebuild, or even reach what remains of their communities.

What is being framed as a military tactic is also reshaping the map of civilian life."

"Israel is preparing to deploy the “Gaza model” in Lebanon in plain sight — mass ethnic cleansing, annihilation of entire cities and villages, long-term occupation, and perhaps eventually Israeli settlements and annexation."

Where do we fit in that? Israel just took the world’s largest natural gas plant offline. They’ve struck desalination plants as well. That’s not typically how we do things, but Israel has shown in the past they play by different rules.

So if we do it knowing Iran will retaliate in similar fashion, are we not engaging in the same set everyone on fire?

I thought I'd seen him before.

This place is jumping at shadows its pretty hilarious, but it damn sure isn't informative or accurate at the moment.

Discord is more measured and logical than DI FFS

Just three months ago, Joe Kent laid out on Shawn Ryan’s show just how much of an enemy and threat Iran is.

Just three months ago, Joe Kent laid out on Shawn Ryan’s show just how much of an enemy and threat Iran is.

Suddenly, everything changed.

The grift is insane.

The post contrasts a December 2025 clip of Joe Kent on Shawn Ryan's podcast, where he describes Iran as a severe threat via proxies attacking U.S. forces 150+ times in Syria, with Kent's March 17, 2026, resignation from directing the National Counterterrorism Center over U.S. strikes on Iran, which he attributes to Israeli influence without imminent danger.
Kent's abrupt shift has sparked accusations of opportunism, as he now urges Trump to halt escalation, citing unnecessary U.S. involvement, amid reports of his upcoming appearances on Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens platforms.

That interview was over a year ago, not three months ago

Kind of like how Trump promised no wars on his campaign trail then changed his mind after election 

People are allowed to change their mind, yeah?

That's what you said about Trump
