The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a very popular tourist destination in the middle east with most travelers traveling to the playground of Dubai. Their economy and image as a safe and secure country are very important. As a result, they are keenly sensitive, proactive toward negative impressions and highly focused on international opinion/security.
Iran has been sending drones and cruise/ballistic missiles into the entire region; hitting Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan and Israel.
The UAE is sharing how intense they are being targeted along with the network of defense systems being deployed to intercept the attacks.
UAE Ministry of Defense confirms we successfully shot down: 165 ballistic missiles, 2 cruise missiles and 541 drones fired by Iran.
On day 2, we shot down 20 ballistic missiles (8 fell in sea), 2 cruise missiles, and 311 drones. 21 drones hit civilian targets. {SOURCE}
This is a remarkable amount of Iranian firepower being targeted toward one regional nation. The air defense system of the UAE is highlighting the value in very proactive defense positioning. Quite remarkable.
“[…] – The UAE’s air defense today achieved a success rate of more than 96% in intercepting missiles after destroying 132 out of 137, and more than 93% in intercepting drones after intercepting 195 out of 209, for a total of 327 threats intercepted out of 346 with a success rate of around 95%. This is a figure that places it among the highest interception rates globally, which typically range between 85% and 95% depending on the type of threat and the conditions of engagement.” (source)
“defense systems being deployed to intercept the attacks.”
Keep up the good work!
The brutal viciousness shows the Iran Terror Regime regarded the WHOLE OF THE MIDDLE EAST AS HOSTAGES TO BE EXPLOITED.
They screwed themselves.
“…One month ago Saudi Arabia was Iran’s diplomatic shield in the Gulf. The kingdom that brokered the 2023 rapprochement with Tehran. The country that told Washington it would not participate. The monarchy that built its entire post-Vision 2030 foreign policy on balancing between Washington and Tehran without choosing. Iran forced the choice this morning by firing missiles at Riyadh.
The Saudi capital was attacked. The kingdom that spent three years rebuilding ties with Tehran just had Iranian ballistic missiles in its airspace. The country that told America it would stay neutral just watched its sovereignty violated by the same regime it was trying to protect from American strikes.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was quick to respond:…
…The Kingdom “condemns and denounces in the strongest terms the treacherous Iranian aggression.” It calls the missile strikes a “flagrant violation of the sovereignty” of the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, and Jordan. It pledges “full solidarity” with every attacked nation. And then the line that changes everything: Saudi Arabia is “placing all its capabilities to support them in all measures they take.”
All its capabilities. All measures.
That is not diplomatic language. That is a blank check written in the middle of a war. Whatever the UAE decides to do, Saudi Arabia just said it will support.
Whatever Bahrain’s response, Saudi will back it. Whatever Jordan, Qatar, or Kuwait determines is necessary, Riyadh just pledged everything it has…”

Lot’s of reorders for U.S. defense contractors incoming.
Should satiate some of the bloodlusters. PDJT is pulling off something truly amazing.
It wouldn’t be healthy to dry up all the monetary cash flows, all one can do at this point is re-direct them to something positive; thankfully (I guess) with the mis-management of our government there’s a target rich environment for positive re-direction, and for sure thankfully we have the perfect decision maker President orchestrating that re-direction.
Re: “re-direct them to something positive”
This has to be made explicit & repeated forever by the schools — but this “conditioning” has never really been the aim; and the organized religion establishment is and has been a near-total failure — “the blind leading the blind” just like in the grade schools that train the “preacher boys.” A “vicious circle.”
IMO, at least early on, the MIC culture is unlikely to compete with a highly competent business of “true believers” like SpaceX — at least with MICs current culture & dependency on generous government contracts, subsidies, R&D [more subsidies], and kickbacks.
Re-direction is easy to say but hard to do — probably some skills & manufacturing technology are readily transferable — lasers, radars, lidars, infrared search & track [IRST], sensors, etc.
If the worlds of the video series [from 2015 to 2022] called “The Expanse” come about, then torpedos [with & without nukes] will become almost common; railguns [major tech hurdles]; “point defense cannons” [PDCs]; nuclear-powered rockets [absurdly efficient propellant-propulsion fusion reactors in The Expanse — a gimmick — it was the only way they could make practicle space travel across the entire solar system; ie, constant acceleration or constant deceleration.]
One lesson from The Expanse: Allow no breeding off-earth; only people older than, say 35, to permanently resettle to off-earth colonies. The Expanse has material that is subject to allegorical interpretation — plus, not for kids.
Isn’t that what it’s all about?
That’s just how the MIC likes it.
I may buy some Ratheyon &
General Dynamics tomorrow. I bet Pelosi already has.
The MIC might be mollified for awhile…but on the horizon…
The war-mongering uni-party fan-boys will have to drum up fresh (perennial) business…
I know the regime are radical fundamentalists but wtf are they thinking making more enemies in the Arab states?
Another case of “If I can’t have her, no one can”? I don’t know either. Seems quite bizarre!
Sure is scorched earth. Isn’t similar to setting the oil wells on fire scenarios???
SATANIC…NO other way to analyze, dontcha think ?
There is a Power or Principality (the Prince of Persia) described in the book of Daniel that delayed an angel from answering Daniel’s prayer for 21 days. As far as we know that demonic entity has not left the region and still influences it.
So, yeah, evaluating Iran’s actions based on rational logic may be the best evaluation tool. Rather think like a demon and imagine what would cause the most death, destruction, and chaos and that’s probably going to be their response.
It was another name for satan. He is also known as the prince of the power of the air.
The Sunni – Shia divide is likely one explanation.
Shia vs. Sunni.
Not hard.
Like historic Catholic vs Protestant in merry old England.
My mother still wrestles with that at 92 and she’s born and bred American. Lol
They will kill you if they believe you do not love the right god.
They will kill you if they believe you do not love the right god…..the right way.
They will kill you if you change the gods you believe in.
They will kill you if you do not love any god.
It’s sort of “our way or we kill you”.
It isn’t good to attack your neighbors, but keep in mind the sunni/shia divide in islam. sunnis and shia don’t like each other. Iran is shia, and all of those targets are sunni muslim, plus Israel. Iraq, which has a shia majority, was not attacked.
And to complicate matters- in those countries the ruling party vs the majority population is divided by sect as well – sunni/shia
Bahrain is Shia majority but sunni ruled.
True, but Iraq is not well off either. They don’t have much to lose.
There are US troops stationed there as well. That’s where some of the US bases were evacuated to. That’s probably the target. Most likely, that’s what’s being targeted in most of these attacks on hotels throughout the Middle East.
Could be the result of Iran’s Top of Military being vaporized,…. so the local commanders in charge of isolated missile batteries, cut off from HQ, may be on their own to decided what to target,… like a Dead Man Switch, and in their anger and disrepair they are lashing out wildly at any country in range nearby???.
Whatever the reason(s), they are playing right into Trump’s plan to unify and pacify the ME.
A good point.
Who knows how good – or bad – are Iran’s Command, Control, and Communications?
Local commanders may have the ability to act whatever way they wish in this chaotic situation. Or, follow a protocol that doesn’t match the actual facts.
The missle launches are probably being controlled of what remains of the top brass of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), not by the regular Iranian military. Two separate entities.
More enemies?
Where do you think our military is based over there?
Think about it…
I don’t believe they’re doing much thinking; they’re just reacting.
They’re probably no better at thinking than the average Somali genius.
Well, those average Somalis have a couple of million foot soldiers in the US, have stolen billions of our dollars, and have invaded our legislature with Jamalya, Ilhan and countless others. Don’t underestimate the enemy.
Pramila Jayapal is a Malayali from Chennai (Madras), India.
They are irrational psychopath with only a death. Wish they don’t care for anybody else.
Those Arab states are Sunni while Iran is the leader of the Shiite Muslims. They don’t like each other. ISIS was another name for Al Qaeda, a Sunni operation which Iran fought against in Northern Iraq and in Syria.
AI Overview
“No, Iranians are not Arabs. While Iran is located in the Middle East and shares religious (Islamic) and geographical ties with Arab nations, Persians are a distinct ethnic group with Indo-European origins, a unique language (Farsi/Persian), and a history that predates the Arab conquest by over 1,000 years. ”
I checked with Google AI because one of the titles of the Shah of Iran was “Light of the Aryans.”
Good post, Guy.
The name Iran means Aryans, and the nation of iran is comprised of many ethnicities and religions, of which Persian is only one. That’s why the people there call themselves Iranians and not Persians. Persian is a designation assigned by the Germans and English.
They speak Farsi, which is he Persain translation of Persian
So methinks the name persia is simply a western version of their ancient name of Fars (Faras)
Take a look at the Book of Esther where ancient persia is known as Faras or Paras
The later Iteration of the empire was known as Parthia, a
Persian Iranians do refer to themselves as Persian, but the they call their country Iran.
In modern times the practice of calling the Iranians Persians or calling the nation Persia was imposed by Europeans.
Likewise, the reason their language is called Farsi is because their original arabic islamist invaders of centuries ago couldn’t correctly pronounce Parsi. Over the centuries the pronunciation with a F eventually became the norm.
The Persians have a long and wonderful history, some of which is beautifully recorded the Book of Esther, which beautifully documents the roots of the deep and abiding connection between Jews and Iranians. They have a saying to the effect that they are fruits of the same branch. I pray we’ll soon see them freely reunited.
Thank you for your reply and for sharing your interest in their wonderful history. Today, every day, we are blessed beneficiaries of the gifts of King Cyrus, but so few of us actually realize it.
The prospect of seeing freedom restored to that beautiful country is truly breathtaking, and I’m very grateful for America’s role in helping make it possible.
Looks like the Iranian regime is concentrating on the UAE more than other Gulf States for one simple reason: The UAE is a member of the Abraham Accords and currently enjoys normal relations with Israel.
Good point.
Because they’re radicals; why is this so hard for people to understand?
I have to wonder – are all of those drones and missiles all coming from Iran? Or are some coming from other places?
It’s looking like hezbollah has been activated and some are coming from Lebanon.
An iron fist rules these states. When their citizens see Iran standing up to Israel and the West, it puts these rulers in a precarious position. Iran views these states as enablers and Western puppets, because they are. , They are willing participate in the destruction of Iran, as all the early warning systems are located in these countries. They know that in the end, this will foment distrust. When Israel moves forward with their provocation into war and then the seizure of land, this will heat up.
Okay, Achmed.
/s
The ‘Arab states’ are Arabic people; the Majority in Iran, are ‘Persians’ part of the Indo-European group of people. … The understanding of ‘Islam’ is slightly different too, as Arabs are typically Sunni Muslims, and the Iranian=Persians are Shia Muslims.
…… Persia is referenced in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible in several places. [An obviously, the Hebrew ‘Bible’, the Tanakh.
It’s the end. They got nothing left.
It’s the plan they had if they had been, as they say, “decapitated.” They figured if these countries lose money because they are tourist spots, they’ll want the US to stop the fighting, will pressure the US to stop fighting.
I think they have weighed the short term losses with long term gains: jihadist mullahs gone in Iran for good and the money for their terrorist proxies dried up is good news for the economies of all countries in the ME.
The regime maybe realizes already that there is no way they can recover from both the military attacks & the internal uprising / revolt / revolution — they know they’re going to become dead soon — they’re not making more enemies because these Arab states were only pretend friends, friends of convenience; rather, they’re trying to take their enemies with them — the regime thinks it is finished, it is over, and they have nothing left to lose.
But I thought attacking Muslim countries during Ramadan was an international crime?
I guess they’re like Democrats, it’s only an international crime when THEY decide it is.
47 attacked Iran on the 11th day of the ninth month of Ramada,…. their 9/11! And, # 47 attacked and took the Iranian leaders out 47 years after they ran the Shah out and stole their dictatorial control of Iran. So many coincidences, eh?
Thanks for insightFULL info !
I’m betting I’m not the only one who didn’t know what you taught us.
Velly,VELLY inTELListing, DaPicayune !
Let’s remember the 444 days Iran held Americans hostage in 1979. Carter caved. Trump has achieved a reckoning that should be included in the “47”. Well done my friend.
Though it is nice to note the numerology, but it looks like they waited until all the leaders were at known locations and then bombed them. It is nice it happens to fall on a memorable date, but I’d assume the final trigger was tactical and not astrological.
Agreed,… and the top 40 leaders met and then got vaporized at 11 AM.
Seems like an unusual way to celebrate Ramadamadingdong! …………Just saying!
Ramadamadingdong boom boom boom!
And I like Mahyar Tousi’s greeting: Happy Haramadan!
The timing may be intentional. When you attack someone when their blood sugar is low, they tend to be stupid and irrational in response.
MAObama and his billions of dollars in cash to the murderous Islamist regime in Iran bought all of those missiles and everything else!
President TRUMP must remind every American of this important bit of our sad and recent history!
MAObama killed those three Americans in Kuwait as surely as if he had pressed the launch buttons himself!
And paid for by We, the People!
The Kenyan is likely having toy boy problems with a majority of his muz brohood pals either staying below the radar or coming out in strong support of PDT and Israel
So, will the imams ask for a refund from Obama?
I’m wondering if Iran got there hands on any of the weapons pudding head left behind in Afghanistan.
IMO this is indicative of the fact that most of the entire region is ready to move on from the Mullahs.
They will be the drivers of “what comes next”. They have experienced what peaceful global engagement can mean for their own wealth and stability. The UAE and others don’t want a “revolution” on their own front door step. Credit President Trump for helping paint the picture.
One of the better pieces of evidence for this is the fact none of them would accept Palestinian refugees and still will not.
With good reason.
I know how crazy and irrational the mullah ghouls are…but attacking their neighbors??? That’s a whole new level of insanity.
Not when one is of the belief that Allah is Supreme and will guide and protect. (I have a degree in World Religion so had to study Islam). Trust that these religious autocrats are beyond insane when it comes to Islam and the power Allah provides. I’m glad “K” and troupe are dead. Well deserved and I hope they felt the real fear of death when it hit.
death by slab?
We are witness to the realignment of the nations of the world.
With absolutely no idea how things finally shake out, it’s simply amazing to see.
Agree Bessie. I can’t help to feel President Trump has helped to paint a picture for these ME countries to what peace and global prosperity looks like.
I remind myself of what President Trump says in so many situations, “Let’s see what happens.” I always find that statement from him reassuring.
For one thing, it was entirely unnecessary for France to surrender.
France is a waste of breath.
They always do.
The best is yet to come…
You mean the Emirs want to create an environment where people from around the world continue to show up with their Amex Black Cards and PE wealth?
I jest but it’s evidence for how this region has evolved in even the last decade. Amazing to see.
In ME culture, they take extremely good care of guests they are hosting. Hospitality is a matter of honor for the host.
No matter how rich that country is, that’s an impressive gesture.
Amen!
It truly is very impressive.
“Business is in business to make money”.
An excellent marketing strategy.
The world has a new sheriff; the message is clear.
I see President Trump says that he has agreed to talks requested by the new Iranian government – whoever that is – aand that we are likely to have additional military deaths.
Of course I hope he’s wrong about that.
Reading about this very high percentage of intercepted drones reminds me that it has not been that long since we were discussing President Trump’s plans to build our own “golden dome.” It won’t be a moment too soon.
Karzai just called his agent. GI’ve it up, Hamid… it’s over…
He’s talking four weeks of fighting. So, yes, more casualties and deaths.
Some of those deaths are taking place right here in this country, the guy in Austin , Texas shooter to begin with.
Reportedly, Austin police were on the scene within 57 seconds, and the murderer was dead right after!
That quick response is unusual these days. Perhaps there really is a new sheriff in town.
Yes, and the good thing is the perp is dead. If he wasn’t, the Soros DA (Jose Garza) would have pled down the charge to jay walking and would have failed to indict within 90 days letting him wal,
what no open carry?
He did not agree to talks. He said we’ll see, but that the attacks will continue.
The fact we haven’t built a similar system here and hardened our critical infrastructure is tantamount to a crime. With an annual budget just shy of $7 trillion dollars per year, with probably over $1 trillion of that being pure Fraud, Waste, Abuse and Theft- you’d think a handful of those criminals could at least dedicate a few billion towards homeland security.
A mindset that should have clicked in when they decided to let 20 million unknown and unvetted foreigners pour into our country. I’m sure in their minds though, they’re safe and the more of us who suffer and die, the better for both parties.
Israel is postage stamp sized compared to the USA. And we know the first city to get a golden dome will be DC.
Probably why Team Trump was in MAL this weekend.
Google “uae internal politics” for a fun read. Stuff like “Civil liberties are restricted, and the government maintains strict monitoring over social, media, and human rights activities”… which is pretty ironic, under the present circumstances.
Viciously attacking the autocracies throughout the region, such as UAE, is a blatant attempt by Iran to escalate the matter to the point where the masses of Shia and Sunni Muslims who despise their undemocratic, authoritarian leaders and royal families to rise up, set forth, and create a real, shall we say, mess of the situation. The enemy of my enemy, and all that.
Thinking that “The Muslim World” is united behind the idea that the Iranian people need to free themselves of the shackles of a failed theocracy… which is how normal, Western-valued, and dare I say Christian, folks view the situation… does not take into account the fact that “The Muslim World” doesn’t subscribe to those values.
Persia has Not been a Muzz country for about 2,500 years, they had the Zoroastrian religion… but thanks to their current Dictatorial Theocratic rulers, they are bout 30% Shiite Muzz now. Willing to bet that the majority of Iran’s population is now finished with Muslim rulers.
But, sure, start a ME wide fight tween the two competing Muzz factions,… what else can Iran’s rulers do now? They can’t take on the USA and Israel’s military might.
Have been thinking about an acquaintance who committed suicide when his student visa expired and he was sent back to Iran in the early ”70’s. RIP Sahiid. He taught me how to drive a stick shift.
Also thinking of the Persian poet Rumi. My favorite of his is I think , “This House.” I can bet that the Aya-told-you-so had never heard of him.
One posting yesterday had 24 mosques on fire in Iran. If true, then they are wayyyyy
sick to shit of all and everything psycho Muslim.
Would love to have a discussion with a really nice Iranian guy I met years ago. My son
dated his daughter. He fled in 1979 after the Ayatollah took over. He was B’Hai religion, which
is very pacifistic . Didn’t matter. If you weren’t the right religion, you were dead. Or tortured.
In 1979, the guy was about 20. So he would be around 66 now. Looked very youthful for
his age, except for his huge, noticeable limp, due to his withered left lower leg. It was evident
that the guy had been tortured before he came over to the US. We can’t even fathom the atrocities
that have occurred over the years in Iran.
Seems their spreading their attack in several different directions. Run out sooner or later. Let’s hope it sooner. Just imagine if President Trump would have waited until they got the weapons to reach us. Scary thought huh. We’d be counting the attack weapons rather then the nearby neighbors.
Several different directions except towards the Ottomans in Istanbul.
Things that make you go hmmm.
The temporarily acting supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Arafeh, was killed after new strikes on Tehran, according to Israeli media.
He was appointed this morning to replace Khamenei, who was also killed yesterday in strikes by the US and Israel.
https://x.com/GloOouD/status/2028162022345507244
sure doesn’t pay to be an ayatollah right now
Next up: Stitch Jones – the Ayatollah of Rock n Rolla.
Gunnery Sergeant Highway squared away ol’ Stitch a long time ago………
who appoints the atolls?
So, all appears to be going well for us – except for one man and his family. I’m sorry y’all but I can’t stop thinking about the soldier we lost. I mean it sounds like some good news for Iran but I don’t care about them – I care about our own military, the one who died and his family. I would gladly have given up the “good” news about the victories if he could have been saved. One of our families is broken-hearted today and I am too.
Well, he could have been killed while guarding a “protest” in DC, the United States Capital, like Sarah Beckstrom, who was awarded the Purple Heart, posthumously, at the State of the Union.
What would you “gladly give up” in exchange for that soldier’s death?
Don’t make it about the Iranian people’s fight for independence and freedom!
All American Patriots mourn EVERY SINGLE service member lost! NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES!
TY
FAFO.
The expected life of a temporary supreme leader of Iran is measured in hours now.
To quote the late, great Frank Nelson (Jack Benny Show, Bugs Bunny)
Whoooooooooohooooooo!!!!!! That’s tooooo baaaaaaaaaaaaddd!!
As I’ve said, a regime that has grown accustomed to having its boot on the throat of a country will simply try to change boots and insist that nothing’s wrong. But I don’t think that there’s going to be anything left of this regime when the bombs stop falling. I also expect the missile attacks to begin to rapidly fall off as the infrastructure they use to launch them is destroyed. (Launching things at neighboring countries who didn’t attack you is never a good idea, either.)
It’s my understanding that this has not been confirmed.
Ahhh so Trump was negotiating with the new government I see
I imagine this was probably a topic of discussion at the last board of peace.
SD, I can confirm this is very inaccurate. The Emirati air-defenses are great, but when you add indigenous management, not so very much at all. There was a ton of direct hits, minimal mid-air intercepts over populated areas, their AD was late in responding.
The Emirati Government has already closed down more-than-1000 social media accounts for sending actual footage (which contradicts the narrative), or any message that contradicts the narrative. 12 months prison and 100k dhs fine. They are very much more active in stopping that than they are WRT incoming missiles/SUAVs. I get it — you get it — Dubai in particular propped up on tourism and construction, which requires stability. There is no, zero, nada, experimenting with reality in these cases. I’m taking a huge risk sending this, but I don’t care. I’m sick of the Emirati’s being fawned over when in reality they are simply battlefield acoustics when things get noisy. All the gear, no idea.
Also, 12% of the population here are Iranian….
Might want to research the military term Battle Damage Assessment (BDA). It might provide a different reason why that government doesn’t want near real time videos of where things land.
Not saying you are wrong but there is another reason for such actions.
Amen, AMEN … AND…
A M E N !!!
You’re completely right, but I know down right that preservation of remaining a luxury country and retaining that wealth relies on lies.
Thanks.
Thank you for your input. When you’re on the ground, in the zone, you have a better understanding of the truth. Media and governments repress and lie. We should all know and remember this.
Over 60 million dollars for that military hardware in UAE alone.
That means Iran has most likely wasted over 200 million dollars in the last two days alone.
Imagine the good they could have done for their people instead of using the funds for rockets and terrorism.
Same thing right here, if we hadn’t been dumping Hundreds of Billions into foreign aid, GloBull Warming, the Welfare State, Institutional Fraud….. etc. etc.
Equivalent of about a dozen Somali day care centers 😎
Think of the waste over 47 years of terror around the globe.
Iran (Persia) could be a 1st-world country by now.
So could Venezuela, South Africa, Libya …… anyone want to add to the list?
Look at all the money that was literally poured down a hole in Gaza.
First, you can thank Obama and has pallets of cash going out of office to them. And then thank Russia and China for buying their oil.
There has to be hi tech military satellites sitting right over Iran right now. So explain to me how any of their missile launch sites are still operational? Surely the targeting information has been uploaded to ordinance by now.
Mobile launchers, moving around deep underground…
Yes, I heard / read in and out of caves.
Monkeywerx site is very interesting w/re to these things. he made some pretty good estimates of attack-times in an unscheduled video on Friday night.
One thing lacking, of course, is the reality that when serious-type planes are entering into serious-type territory, they (understandably) turn their transponders off for the duration of that mission.
Makes me wonder why they generally leave transponders on.
Monkeywerx just put a fresh video up:
War with Iran – Jihad Warning Issued
The thrashing’s of a dying beast are never motivated by logic, because that presupposes rational thought. My guess is that with most of its senior leadership gone the IRGC are launching missiles and drones on pre-existing coordinates, irrespective of any operational or strategic plan, beyond going down a checklist of targets and ticking the box.
My other guess is that the US and Israeli reductions in sending Ukrainian AD assets, since last year, were to stockpile such assets in the region, whilst reports of the difficulties in manufacturing such weapons were exaggerated, making the Iranian regime believe its long-range strike capability would be far more effective than has been proved. As they say, all warfare is based, in some way, on deception and I doubt this conflict is any different; however the deception practiced by the Iranians was based on a bluff of being capable of sowing regional chaos, that the President has called.
When Iran runs out of stuff, they’re out of stuff.
Seems the quality of their stuff is on par with Chinese made stuff.
A lot WAS Chinese made 😎
Iran has attacked:
Bahrain
Iraq
Jordan
Kuwait
Oman
Qatar
Saudi Arabia
United Arab Emirates (UAE)
Hard to understand what their thinking is.
They are trying to summon their “12th imam” by creating worldwide chaos. Their 12th imam matches the description of the Jewish Man of Sin/Christian Antichrist.
They have to heat the earth up to 3000° before he will show up.
if you remember a past alatolah declared obama was the lightbringet.
Seems to me they want to bomb everyone except their closest neighbor to the NW. The Ottomans.
One would think they’d lob a couple slow fat ones full of confetti to not make it so obvious.
I’m sure President Trump has noticed and already reached out to Istanbul with a wtf.
Here is a website explaining their eschatology: https://the12thimam.info/chapter-1-the-12th-imam/
And the devout ones fervently believe it.
Exactly. There is precious little thinking going on.
The target is south of Russia.
They need us to get the monkey off their back too.
Big picture.
Long game.
The Big UGLY.
No more drip, drip.
It’s pic, pic, as in picked off.
Gird your loins, because right now is just the beginning. Logistically the ME has been hammered out. already.
But I’m thinking that the real target is getting the idea.
Trump is all in and the winner takes it all.
May GOD bless him and keep him.
Not today satan, not today.
Almost everything except America is south of Russia.
So many demons are earthbound in the region of old Persia (that is now Iran) which is why there is so much evil emanating from that region.
I’m listening to Viva and Barnes. Barnes is really ranting against President Trump because of the military action. I wonder what Sundance thinks of Barnes and his information and opinions. Barnes is painting a gloom and doom scenario because of the military action President Trump has taken.
Grifter.
What case has he ever won against the bad guys?
Nothing of great significance
Dozens of pro Bono cases for folks against big government. Plus, he’s never seal clapped for Lil Marco.
Multiple cases against the IRS. YOU?
Major league grifter. I used to watch some of his podcasts, but lately he has gone off the deep end.
He supposedly was trying to get some influence with the Trump administration. He’s anti Susie Wiles, Bondi, Patel, and Bongino.
He says that he was trying to get the administration to follow his advice, but they would not listen. So now, a lot of sour grapes.
One could debate that he may have some valid points, but now he’s critical about most of the Trump direction. Gloom and doom predictions for the midterms “because they didn’t listen to me”.
I am not a fan of wars, and I have some mixed feelings about the latest actions, but I don’t think President Trump is just beholden to Israel, or just taking bad advice from his cabinet. It’s easy to be against military action, but there may have been bigger downsides by not taking action now. History is full of these examples.
I use to listen to Barnes a lot, but he’s just wrong a lot.
I thought neutralizing the enemy’s ability to wage war was one of the first offensive maneuvers in battle. Seems like that would have been employed early to prevent these drones and ballistic missiles from ever being fired in the first place. Anyway, congratulations on the impressive success rate in repelling these attacks from an evil threat to the world and also successfully taking out their insane leaders.
Its about the numbers.
Iran the citizenry are running out of money and resources even including water because the regime spent on missiles, drones and tried to development nuclear warheads. They had lots of missiles of several types and lots of drones of several types. One reason UAE is targeted is Iranian units cut off from their command and control likely had orders to fire at anyone and everyone to create chaos. UAE would be in reach of their short range drones/missiles.
The good news is their missiles/drones are being destroyed, their command and control cutoff and their logistics for repair, resupply and spares not to mention POL are being targeted heavily. Its matter of time until the small units run out of weapons except conventional and small arms. Psrt of their strategy was dispersal of weapons and supplies,,,,thus the weeks to eliminate all threat projection capabilities.
They’re going back to the stone age, next will be riding camels and horses with rifles ala Lawrence of Arabia.
And people say they should be allowed to have nuclear weapons and ICBMs. Hitting civilians is what cowards do.
I’ve been thinking of where we would be today if Harris had become president? Not a pleasant thought.
Heaven help us!
It could be argued that’s what’s happening right now.
Does anyone still think that Iran would not have used Nuclear weapons it they had them
It’s truly amazing how accurate and effective air defenses have become in the past decade.
Back in the ‘60’s, the concept of an effective ABM system was discounted… and ‘experts’ said the attempt to develop SDI during President Reagan’s terms in office was a fool’s errand.
However, in the past
2-3 years, we have seen how effective air defenses change the outcome, tremendously.
The Iranian barrage at Israel… and the current barrage sent to the UAE… have been almost entirely neutralized. Thus unknown numbers of people saved from death – and cities saved from ruin.
The whole concept of MAD – Mutual Assured Destruction – depended on rational actors understanding that any attack to vaporize an enemy, would result in the attacker also being destroyed.
How these effective examples of air defense change that calculus is yet to be determined.
A major problem is that defense will be necessary – as unstable and irrational nations or groups acquire weapons of mass destruction.
The spasmodic launching of missiles and drones at nations who took no active part in attacking Iran
shows that danger.
The always-simmering hostility between Pakistan and India… and the schemes of the little rocket man in North Korea probably keeps someone in the Pentagon awake at night.
Wow. Glad President Trump has made friends with these Middle East countries… they are caught in this shitmess.
I agree — that was a brilliant tactical move.
Already had with the Abraham Accords.
Do we think that the behind the scenes deal is that each of these countries get a part of what was the country of Iran?
Iran has screwed the pooch firing rockets at American bases in neighboring countries. That violation of countries borders will unite them against Iran making the chances its survival almost negligible. Not a real bright thing to do. Trump won’t have to get too involved as the neighbors will make sure a moderate is put in power. Of course the inner hatred of Israel will be at epic levels.
For everyone here cheering for this war I ask you why ? We’re told by our media and leaders to hate the Iranian regime. That it doesn’t represent the people. It’s evil and ruthlessly suppress freedom.
I ask you , why do you believe the media in this instance when you certainly don’t believe it when it’s spreading propaganda against you ! How many times do you hear the claim that MAGA is a fringe group of evil crazy people ? How many times do the media show a crowd in someplace like New York or Los Angeles and claim it represents the majority of the country ? We hear the Iranians chant death to America. If we’re the people on the receiving end of what has been done to Iranians we’d be chanting death to Iranians ! I have very serious doubts about the legitimacy of our actions. I’m not so certain that the people of Iran want to be liberated from their theocracy. I am certain that it’s not our place to replace the regime. That’s a decision for the Iranian people. I’m also sure that the security of the state of Israel is NOT the responsibility of the USA ! There will be no benefit for the American people in fighting this war. Only costs. Billions for weapons and every dime borrowed against our children’s future ! The economic costs of higher oil prices and the resulting economic stagnation and inflation.
Not cheering, rather observing. It is not up to any of us, so my thought is to wait and see what the outcome will be. The negative is the cost, however the long term benefit of removing the main sponsor of state level terrorism is positive. We can either complain or observe, neither will change any current events.
Except we’re not really hell bent on eliminating a particular religion from the planet, and the Iranians chanting ‘Death to America’ are pretty hell bent on eliminating Israel and America. Oh, and anyone who doesn’t believe in their God.
So, yeah, after 40+ years of their crap, let’s give the Iranians who AREN’T chanting ‘Death to America’ a chance at running things and see how that works out.
We’re not allowed to have opposing views about this “war.” I was told to move to Canada. We’re busy helping the Iranian “people”. I understand why Iran’s military arsenal has to go, but who is going to come rescue the American people from our corrupt, money grubbing govt and foreigners destroying our country? Who will pay us back for investing our hard earned money (debt slaves) into helping others become free? No One! Oops wrong perspective.
Shia Iran striking at the Sunnis…..Definitely fits into the end times prophecies of the Bible. Let’s see if Turkey gets pissed off enough to smash Iran back then we’ll really have some fufillment going.
Quite remarkable.
Only if your the type of person that thinks milk comes from the grocery store and the legacy media doesn’t like the sound of their own voice.
There is no way this dismantling of the IRGC was green lighted without close and clear eyed planning with all Arabian Nations.
As for the Houthis, one can only hope they decide to resume attacks in the Red Sea.
IRGC, “In the States, this is called a two’fore.”
“For as sure as bears crap in the woods, the Spector owns the night and the Stryker can and will remove the threat.”
Ergo, the close and clear eye consultations between Arabian Nations and CentCom.
It’s a good thing the UAE approved the US strike, that was a lot of per destination ordinance directed at them.. This just magnifies their long term intent with their neighbors
Trump is incredible. This mess should have been cleaned up 47 years ago in 79 when that spineless Demoshit Carter had taken care of business. As well as the following foolish 6 presidents that followed. As much as I loved Reagan he was foolish as well when it came to the medieval goat herders. Hoping next up is a Lincolnesq Habeas Corpus suspension to send the treasonous party and their deep state lackeys to Gitmo.
541 less Drones going to Putin.!!!
Any remain doubt about whether or not the ayatollaholes would have used a nuclear bomb if they had one?
Never was a doubt. If they had gotten the bomb, one of those religious nutcases would have used it because he’d have believed his god was telling him to do it.
Gulf countries that host U.S. military bases say Iran has retaliated to U.S. strikes

Iranians have an absolute genius for making friends, don’t they?

@FrankLuntz
Over the past 36 hours, Iran has attacked more Arab and Muslim countries than Israel has in its entire history.
Cont…
Lindsey Graham must be wondering why we haven’t done this to Russia.
Perhaps someone can explain the rationale of Iran sending missiles and drones to the rest of the Arab world, and in particular, civilian targets. This seems like suicidal to me. Surely Iran would have liked to keep these countries as ‘allies’…????
