Brace Yourselves For War Between Iran and Israel

It's finally been officially announced that Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of martyr Seyyed Ali Khamenei, has been elected as the 3rd Leader of Iran.
Pretty sure I saw he has been seriously wounded, but no valid confirmation that I know of. Could be just rumor.

Speaking of the three downed F15, they revised the cause from ground defense to an Kuwaiti jet fighter shooting them down.

Kuwaiti F/A-18 Aircraft Suspected of Shooting Down US F-15s

That makes even less sense. Couldn't the pilot make visual confirmation before shooting these down? Iran only owns older American jet fighters like the F-4, F-5 and F-14. And this must be one hell of a pilot, single-handledly shooting 3 aircrafts.
Larry Johnson says BS (@5:25) - no, shot down by the Iranians.

BTW, Trump and USA getting blistered in the comments.
 
The Iraqi Shia leader has also issued a fatwa calling for support of Iran.

Iraq is 61% Shia and the population is around 43 million. It remains to be seen what this in reality means other than a support for Iran. Yet, support from Iraq is worth a lot instead of having Iraq supporting the Epstein coalition.

Killing the top Shia religious leader, Khamenei was not the smartest decision the US/Israel came up with, at least if they really thought it would lead to regime change. It could lead to regime change just not in Iran. What the C's said about this being a reflection of fighting going on in 4D sounds more like the real reason and the rest is just narratives which the US/Israel tell themselves.

ADDED: Grand Ayatollah Sistani is 95 years old and became the top Shia cleric in Iraq in 1993.

A Spanish reporter reported live that non-Jews were not allowed to enter shelters in Haifa unless they paid $50,000. Later, on the same Spanish television program, it was claimed that she had retracted her statement, which was false. She is currently in Israel and has asked the embassy for protection due to the barrage of threats she is receiving, but so far she has not been provided with any protection (according to another Spanish source)

A slight deviation from the topic, but according to Larry regarding the Venezuela/Maduro abduction, the 3 insiders that tipped off the DEA - one being Maduro's chauffer - did so for a $50 million payoff that - now get this - Trump has refused to pay! How's that for a lesson!

Yes, we're finding out that we're actually pawns in a cosmic game. Who knew . . . And yes, the Cs tried to tell us, but did we really get it until now. :shock:
 
I think, MJF, that it's not as simple as you've made it out to be.

Look at what “freedom” has done to the British and what Chinese dictatorship has done.

Besides, I don't think the British gave freedom to the Hong Kongers because they loved them. It was probably just for show, to create a contrast and convince the Chinese to adopt a Western mentality.
I think you need to distinguish between the mentality of the British who created and maintained the British Empire and those today who are post-Empire born people. If you are not aware, British schoolchildren these days are imbued by their teachers with a sense of post imperial guilt similar in the way that white American schoolchildren are taught the guilt of white privilege.

In spite of being a colony, the people of Hong Kong enjoyed a high standard of living with Hong Kong being one of the most successful economies in the world. Indeed, Hong Kong exerted such a strong pull for mainland Chinese people who lived under Chinese communist rule, that many were prepared to risk their lives by trying to get to Hong Kong for a better life. I know this because I have met and spoken with with Chinese refugees who fled to Hong Kong. Indeed, I went to school with two boys who had a Chinese mother and a Scottish father who had been posted to Hong Kong with the RAF, which was where he met their mother. Their mother had escaped from China with her family by swimming across the strait that separated mainland China from the island of Hong Kong where Chinese launches with searchlights were machine gunning refugees in the water. Whatever you may think of the British, these people obviously felt it was better to live under British rule than under Chairman Mao's communist rule.

My understanding was that the British had been gifted the island of Hong Kong in perpetuity but the part of the colony that resided on the mainland where there was a physical border contained the main water supplies for the colony. This part had been leased to the British and the lease was fast running out, which was why the British Government entered into negotiations to transfer the whole colony back to Chinese sovereignty. I think the British did their best to obtain the most beneficial terms they could for the people of Hong Kong since, no matter what you may think, they felt that they owed a responsibility to them. As a safeguard, they also created a special category of British citizenship for Hong Kong residents - quoting Wikipedia:
The British National (Overseas) passport, commonly referred to as the BN(O) passport, is a British passport for people with British National (Overseas) status. BN(O) status was created in 1987 after the enactment of Hong Kong Act 1985, whose holders are permanent residents of Hong Kong who were British Overseas Territories citizens (formerly British Dependent Territories citizens) until 30 June 1997 and had registered as BN(O)s.​

BN(O) status holders do not have the automatic right of abode in the United Kingdom unless they are also British citizens. Since 31 January 2021, BN(O) holders have been able to apply for limited leave to remain to live, work and study in the UK. They become eligible for settled status (indefinite leave to remain) after 5 years of qualifying residence. BN(O) holders with settled status can register as British citizens after 12 months.

The settlement scheme was launched after the imposition of the controversial 2020 national security law on Hong Kong by the Chinese Central government. The UK considers the enactment of the National Security Law a clear violation of the one country, two systems principle guaranteed in the Sino-British Joint Declaration, an international binding treaty signed in 1984.

After the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China on 1 July 1997, the British National (Overseas) passport became the most popular travel document among the people of Hong Kong. From April 1997 to the end of 2006, the British government has issued a total of 794,457 BN(O) passports. The peak was reached in 2001, when 170,000 were issued in a single year.

If, as you say, the British did not care about the people of Hong Kong post their transfer back to Chinese sovereignty, why would they have bothered to have introduced the British National (Overseas) passport. Indeed, it has been a life saver for many Hong Kongese who have fled oppressive Chinese rule by emigrating to Britain. Indeed, the current Labour Government is continuing to address concerns for the security of Hong Kong citizens - see below:
Thousands more Hong Kongers will be able to build new lives in Britain as the government strengthens safe and legal routes to the UK.

Adult children of British National (Overseas) status holders who were under 18 at the time of Hong Kong’s 1997 handover to China will now be eligible to apply for the route independently of their parents.

Their partners and children will also be able to move to the UK under the expanded route. It is estimated 26,000 people will arrive in the UK over the next 5 years.

The expansion honours the UK’s historic commitment to the people of Hong Kong and comes amid continuing deterioration of rights and freedoms in the territory.

Today’s sentencing of Jimmy Lai, a British citizen, for 20 years, shows how the Beijing-imposed National Security Law has criminalised dissent, prompting many to leave the territory
. The Prime Minister raised Mr Lai’s case directly with President Xi during his visit, opening up discussion of the UK’s most acute concerns directly with the Chinese government, at the highest levels. Now that the sentencing has happened, the government will rapidly engage further on Mr Lai’s case.

BTW: I owe Keir Starmer an apology since I said earlier on this thread that he had not raised the case of Jimmy Lai with the Chinese Government on his recent visit to China when in fact he had. I am happy to correct this mistake.

For those who are arguing that the Chinese regime is not as bad as it is painted, you might want to speak to Hong Kongese who have fled to Britain where many still face harassment and intimidation from Chinese agents in the UK - China’s war on dissidents comes to the United Kingdom - see: Fleeing Hong Kong Wasn’t Enough

I am conscious that this is a thread on the current war in the Gulf, so out of respect to other Forum members, I shall refrain from commenting further on the Chinese regime and the fate of the people of Hong Kong.​

Moral of the story being you can't trust Trump.
 
Has anyone heard anything about this? George Galloway doesn't blow smoke. According to him, apparently a US plane flying from the UK is going to drop a 300 kg tactical nuke on Fordo(sp?) mountain in Iran. I set the video to start at about 14 minutes.

 
Very informative/thought provoking vid of Max Blumenthal with Jimmy Dore at this link.

I dunno - as much as I think it could be possible for Trump to somehow be the Joker/top trump card that rids us of Israel and its Deep State/military/political affiliates and Zionist Christian wackos, can that really happen - and happen before our country is taken down financially and otherwise as being suggested in several of the vids making the rounds?

The next few weeks should tell the tale I guess. Will we reap what we've (deservedly/shamefully) sown? :-/

Just started watching this and George says not 6, but 600 Americans killed and 173 soldiers captured who attempted an Iran landing! This was preceded by reporting that the NY Times says Trump has changed his mind and will declare victory and call off the war!

As to the doomsday bomber with the nuke (flying at the behest of Netancuckoo):
(Joe) Operation Epic Failure. So, when they say, "Bad for Israel", are we talking about significant destruction of Israeli infrastructure as a result of...

A: Yes

Q: (Joe) Is there not a risk that if things got bad enough for Israel that it would use nukes against Iran?

A: It may try.
The Cs have said that nuclear blasts negatively affect other densities as well as our own.
Wishful thinking is a fatal flaw (for) 4D STS and their minions.

'Nuff said.
 
I wonder whether you would similarly support a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, which allows the Taiwanese to enjoy the dubious blessings of Chinese communism?
You know your basic history that Taiwan was the result of the Chinese civil war, so it is strange that you compare the English conquest of Hong Kong with it. Nevertheless, should Taiwan do something stupid like declare independence, then it will be defeated to finally end that civil war.

Much as I admire Chinese culture, I would not like to live under such a repressive regime as currently exists in that country. Would you?
No, as the Cs said, there is nowhere in the world we can go to escape. So it's not where we are, but who we are and what we see.

My understanding was that the British had been gifted the island of Hong Kong
Gift. Wow.

There were rumors that some special brigade of the US army was transferred to Britain, and that they will try to seize a strip of Iranian coast in order to control the Straight of Hormuz. But its too fantastic to be true IMO.

NASA site reports fires around the world almost in real time. For example there were two large fires in Tel Aviv last evening. And of course many fires in Iran. Very interesting.

Watching several podcasts on the Iran-Israel/USA conflict and someone mentioned that Russia may place Iran under its' nuclear umbrella, so that any nuclear attack on Iran would be considered an attack on Russia, for now this is in the realm of rumour.
It may be a judo move to force a rethink to anyone crazy enough to think of using a nuclear weapon (USA. Israel) on Iran. Trump may be desperate to want a quick end to the war, and NetanYahoo, well, NetanYahoo.
 
Middle East Spectator is not controlled opposition. Neither is either of the Geopolitics channels (assuming you're talking about DD Geopolitics and Geopolitics Prime).

Someone saying MES is controlled opposition for saying a lot of Iranian drones and missiles are being intercepted is not paying attention to the channel or the fact that many missiles and drones are indeed intercepted. I actually like MES for posting about interceptions and the like because while some seem to be blind cheerleaders, he's often more thoughtful and insightful than others.
Something happened to the main admin of the MES telegram channel (there are several of them publishing), it went silent yesterday around noon and he was allegedly arrested by police. From the last post on the channel:

Tonight, on Laylatul Qadr, the admin of MES was apprehended by police on false charges.

The channel will be temporarily inactive and ownership transfered to a trusted friend during the investigation.

If you see anything strange here, it has been compromised.

The explanatory words of the Egyptian administrator (who also owns a Telegram channel - Mediterranean Man):

I have nothing to say, I'm the current custodian and anything I say is exactly word for word what he left as an ending message, stop asking me about it and kindly delete your spam about this, this includes the channel owners, partners, and whoever.

Simply pray for his safety and that he may come unscathed, no further comment.

This following the election of the new leader, the question arises as to whether the regime's policy will become more rigid towards certain media outlets?

Morning summary by russian telegram channel Rybar:

Last night, there were few reports of Epstein coalition strikes on Iran (possibly due to internet problems in the republic). The attacks targeted the IRGC Air Force headquarters and Mehrabad Airport in Tehran, Bandar Abbas, and the Isfahan Optics Industries facility in Isfahan.

The latter allegedly sustained serious damage, and if so, the strike is indeed a sensitive blow to Iran's military-industrial complex: the plant produced high-tech surveillance equipment, including optics for reconnaissance drones.

➡️In Tehran, oil continues to burn, spilled from recent strikes on refineries. The oil has spread through drainage systems in some districts, with the flames still burning. The capital of the republic is filled with toxic smoke, the environmental situation in the city is critical. But it won't just affect Iranians — smoke clouds are drifting toward Central Asia and China.

➡️Against this backdrop, US authorities have called on Israeli leadership to avoid such strikes, since the oil infrastructure will be useful to Iranians in the future, when the "ayatollah regime" is overthrown, and the people of the country can control their own destiny.

➡️No prerequisites for ending the conflict emerged overnight, but the consequences are evident: Brent crude oil prices surged more than 20%, exceeding the $110 per barrel mark, and gas prices also rose.

❗️And if the situation is not resolved in the near future, the consequences for the global economy will become even more serious.
 
If I'm not mistaken, in the forum or in a session with Cass @Joe or @Niall, they mentioned something similar last year.
(At the moment, I'm having trouble finding it.)

Returning to the previous comment, it seems that No01.substack could be seeing the same patterns of war that @Joe, if I'm not mistaken, commented on last year:

No01.substack
Now on the Iranian side, we see daily plumes above Tehran, but I have this nagging feeling that this war feels choreographed. Not in the conspiracy kind of sense. But in the sense that every phase has followed a logical sequence and once it has been achieved, the next one begins.

Day one: blind the radars. Day two through four: drain the interceptors. Day five through six: hunt the airborne ISR. Day six onwards: bring the heavy stuff.

More and more of the advanced missiles are showing up now. Fewer launches, but more precise strikes. The number of hits getting through hasn’t declined at all. Same pattern as in June last year.

This war was gamed out. Every unit got its playbook, every phase had its trigger, and the execution continues regardless of what happens to the command structure above.
Either major leadership survived everything USrael has thrown at it, or the plan was distributed and trained before the first bomb fell.

No01.substack
And it goes beyond water. USrael struck oil infrastructure yesterday - economic sabotage, pure and simple. Iran’s answer arrived last night. A rocket hit Netanya and went straight for the water-desalination and well systems. Another struck Hadera’s power-generation zone. A third hit the refinery sector in Haifa. Not military targets. Infrastructure for infrastructure.

That’s the pattern I wrote about yesterday. Centralised leadership managing every phase. Every escalation met with a symmetrical answer, one rung at a time. Ben Gurion is already severely restricted. If this continues, the economic arteries that keep a country of nine million connected to the outside world are next.
