dead kikes
It's now being said iran is parking part of their airforce in pakistan.Based
why does Juan and Jose(both voted for Vivek the streetshitter) think they are whiter than the average persian?
Nothing ever happens

A Shin Bet fighter who participated in "Operation Arnon" has been detained for 4 months on suspicion of involvement in smuggling to Gaza. His family: "He contributed a lot, he doesn't deserve such treatment."
>>534895136deCOLONization now!
>>534894917he became more aryan as he aged
>>534894917reminder that Trump sucked Bill Clintons (aka Bubba) dick
>>534895054no one's joining your military, take your broke ass failed meme and join all the veterans who killed themselves faggot
>>534895230( ._.)
HARDEN YOUR HEART, OH MOJTABA.KILL ALL THE KIKES.
>>534895052>It's now being said iran is parking part of their airforce in pakistan.The pakistanis have already said that it's not true and that the airport in question is located right in the middle of a city, where a fleet of aircraft could certainly not be hidden. Someone wants to make pakistan unpopular with the US. I wonder who.
Regular reminder that Iran will have to start fucking up American facilities in the region. 1 tanker that got BTFO's by US Navy in the blockade should result in one destroyed facility that belongs to USA (Amazon, Microsoft, whatever).
Senator Lindsey Graham responds to the report on CBS: If the report is true - there will be a need to reconsider Pakistan's role as a mediator
>>534895365Iran also has enough plutonium for 200 nuclear bombs and could build them at anytime.https://thebulletin.org/2026/04/missing-from-us-iran-talks-plutonium-for-more-than-200-nuclear-bombs/
>>534895365bari weiss news reported it>>534895448mediator needs trust from both sides, no other party has that
>>534895054political schizophrenia brought on by the GOP's desire to pander to browns while still needing the southern strategy to prevent outright electoral collapse
>>534895402They should instead target the region's oil export infrastructure that is not related to the strait. This way they can punish and simultaneously increase their leverage.
>>534895448sounds like a gay op to save face
>Two US Air Force F-35 fighter jets reportedly transmitted the emergency 7700 distress code within 24 hours while operating near the Persian GulfTHE GREATEST PLANE OF ALL TIME (1 engine lmao)
>>534895659it has 2 engines in the ejector seat tho.
>>534895659these pieces of shit fall apart after a few hours of service time lmao
>>534895591southern strategy is overplayed by democratsthe big party switch never happened all the fillybuster against the civil rights constitution came from democratslike robert byrd and strom thurmond d'nish d'souza is unfortunately correct on this
>>534895459>Rosatom’s Director General Alexey Likhachev says that 210 tons of spent nuclear fuel are now stored at Bushehr. The International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) Power Reactor Information System indicates Bushehr has produced a total of 7,851,750 megawatt-days of thermal power (MWd-thermal). Using an average plutonium production rate of 0.25 grams of plutonium produced per MWd-thermal, the plant has produced 2,000 kilograms of plutonium.This is a retarded claim by someone who has no clue what the fuck he's talking about (or it's pilpul because of malice).You don't convert spent nuclear fuel to plutonium. The Strontium would destroy every type of equipment you'd want to use, making it economically retarded. If you want plutonium, you make a reactor specifically to create plutonium.This is like claiming:>Iran has enough Uranium to make 100 billion nuclear bombs.>It's in the ground. We should barge in and set up mines to take it out.>If we mine for about a century, we might be able to diminish this to 1 billion nukes.
I wanna die
>>534895659why would you build a plane with one engine?
>>534895764not before the destruction of israel. hate keeps us alive.
>>534895365Could be the kike ganda, yes
>America and Republicans banging their chest acting all tough about how easily they can destroy Iran>for some reason its 73 days later and they are just saber rattling still
>>534895791so you can sell the second engine as DLC
>>534895448>Days after Trump announced the ceasefire, Iran sent military aircraft to PakistanBut Trump told me they had no more military aircraft?He's been shouting for weeks that their airforce has been destroyed and 'will never fly again'.Is Graham calling Trump a liar?
>>534895756you could make dirty bombs with them?
>>534895659>7700 distress codeIs this the new cope since Iran can't shoot them down?
>>534895879why did you build a plane with one engine?
>>534895551>mediator needs trust from both sides, no other party has thatPakistan doesn't have it either. They pushed Trump's bullshit PR on their twitter for his market manipulation. They're not trusted by Iran. But neither is Oman atm, so you make do.
>>534895879they shoot themselves down, why bother?plus all your bombing was long range attacks and then you stopped the war when you ran out
>>534895869Isn't iraq still contaminated because the americans dumped their nuclear waste there?
Reminder: Pajeets will survive and inherit the earth
>>534895802even that, wouldnt, isnt
>>534895959>They're not trusted by IranSomething that should have been obvious to them right away: pakistan is far too close to MBS.
So is that it? Is the happening over?Will we see israel showered in rockets and missiles again, or no?
>>534895738yeah the democrats became shit after the civil rights movement and the GOP has ALWAYS been a shitty anti white party.Regardless the repubs have been assmad the dems stole their strategy of fucking over white people to favor browns in order to gain votes.Dems are da reel racists after all.
>>534895967>plus all your bombing was long range attacks and then you stopped the war when you ran outBased. Bomb the fuck out of Iran and then force them into peace so we can rearm. Iran can do nothing but make AI slop
>>534896107the happening isn’t over till the strait is open
>>534895731>>534895791>Russia and china make twin engine jets>miggers laughing at china and russia not being able to make a good single engine craft>burger engine jet randomly fails mid flight when moloch is feeling hungry >no backup so the plane crashes
>>534895869If you want to make a dirty bomb, pull the active fuel out and use that instead. Far more effective.Spent nuclear fuel is annoying because of all the shitty byproducts that have been piling up since it's been removed from the reactor.You'd want the high-reactivity "kill quick" isotopes, not the "fuck with chromosomes and cause suffering over the next 40 years" isotopes they turn into over time.
>>534895959trust doesn't go far but some trust exist, that is why israel and Bari Weiss News try to prevent another round of talks thereisrael has found a new poison pill and vector to undermine diplomacywith israel in the game as active hostile party the US just got no hope to have their objectives see accomplished
>>534895990WSJ:Wall Street Journal: The United Arab Emirates secretly attacked Iran. The attacks, which the UAE did not officially announce, included an attack on a refinery on the Iranian island of Lavan, located in the Persian Gulf. The attack took place in early April, shortly before the time Trump declared a ceasefire
>>534895448>Oh you are being reasonable about everything but refuse to bow to israel? How about I shoot myself in the foot to teach you a lesson?Lyndsey yes!
>>534896000it is more that DU rounds are cheaper than tungsten and offer similar penetration
Breaking 12A huge fire broke out at a recycling plant in the Atarot industrial area. Many firefighting teams are operating at the scene. Photo: Fire and Rescue Services Israel
>>534896000So is kosovo because of the DU rounds. Also like half of the ukraine after the bonga gave them a shit ton of DU rounds they proceed to store in a single facility that was at khizal distance. That midnight sun was amazing and the consequences will be felt for decades.
>>534896163Exactly. Israel/US is under pressure to act. Iran can wait until the west's strategic oil reserves run out. The port blockade won't change that.
>>534896307How many F35 have crashed due to engine failure?
>>534896146is this the new cope?
>>534896107>Will we see israel showered in rockets and missiles again, or no?Praise yahweh we will.
So, how many oldfags here? I'm not talking about purely age, not the boomers who came here from facebook, I mean like /pol/ posters with 15+ years under their belt posting in this shithole
>>534896139democrats were the original vehicle to power for the jewish diaspora at the tip and organizational pole of the ellis island coalitionthe fight for america was lost when you let in catholics lol
>>534896163Fair. But will the conflict restart; will we see tel aviv eat hundreds of hypersonic missiles again?
>>534896328>with israel in the gamePlease Kim, do a hero move for the planet.
>>534896413All of them? Who knows, it all benefits the (((MIC))) only and I certainly wouldn't be surprised if it has an inbuilt moloch temple partially controlling the craft and choosing when the craft will randomly fail.Still that's a shit plane and specially because you can't beat thermodynamics despite how much you try to make something radar invisible
>>534895879>um the planes are just garbage and fall out of the sky by themselves, it had nothing to do with Iranhahahahaha
>>534896552So you have no idea how many have crashed and you have no data to compare it to dual engine craft then why can you state that one is better than the other? >it all benefits the (((MIC))) how does this benefit (((MIC)))?>[F35] a shit plane So far Iran hasn't been able to shot down a single one in over approximately 1,500 sorties. Seem pretty good to me.
>>534896533Best korea has just amended its constitution to give kim sole control over its nuclear weapons.
Iran clearly has leverage over America and Israel in this war and Arabs aren't taking the bait in escalating it but at the same time I don't see how Iran survives it. Its people clearly hate the government, Khameini is dead and they're scared to bury him, and the economy will be crippled to the point of being unable to sustain the military. Maybe there won't be regime change but state collapse is very possible, and who knows what will come after that.

my march 2026 iran war has gotten so big i can no longer find anything.i'm gonna have to make a new folder for a different stage of the war.
>>534896785Iran winning against the world superpower would fortify, consolidate and buttress the legitimate and not foreign billionaire bought government of iran.Maybe try in another 50-100 years when they forgot that the US and israel assassinated their pope on ramadan under flag of negotiations.

>>534896463Whatever you say bro.I'm still voting downticket democrat until the GOP ceases to exist as a political force anymore.I'd rather these morons be faced with one party shitlib rule and have to actually fight back instead of hearing another rational about how I should lick the boots of another scamming brown in the name of optics.

>>534896964>negotiationsThey opened up with they had enough uranium for 11 nukes and were weeks away from building them>During current negotiationsIt's been claimed they had enough plutonium for 200 nuclear weapons and have been stockpiling it for many years despite having a treaty otherwise.

>>534897173Yeah, won't make a difference with how they're pulling all the stops with the gerrymandering shit in order to support the ZOG war.
>>534896564I still don't understand that reasoning, an airplane getting down in combat was kind of an honorable casualty in older times. The "I just shat myself" excuse is worse for them in every single metric. They have to know this, right?
get ready for endless stories like this coming out of Israel. It's already happening on a pretty massive scale, in companies of all sizes who managed to survive this long in israel:
>>534894917Why stalemate with sand niggers?Are the US arsenal and UFOs useless?I heard Trump is going to China, that's how you get Suicide-bomber-ed.
>>534897234stop falling for the discredited israeli propaganda line pushed by kushner and witkoff, pleasesending dyed in the wool foreign agents of israel to talks what the fuck are you thinking?
>>534897464>AI/techbro bubble bursting>simultaneous death of israelwhat a time to be alive
>>534897464Don't even be surprised if Intel shuts down most of their Israeli operations altogether, due to extremely strong shekel.All the production can be transferred to other plants in the US and Europe, and the development office can be reduced to symbolic jew ass kissing.
>>534897412You're assuming every 7700 is a shotdown plane. but we can track the planes and they all fly back to base.
>Mohammadreza Ashrafi Ghehi, one of the two Iranian officials sanctioned by the US Treasury on Monday, had already been declared dead by both Iran and the Israeli military.>In a press release, the Treasury said Ashrafi Ghehi, identified as the commercial chief of the IRGC’s oil headquarters, was sanctioned along with another official and nine entities “for their roles enabling the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) sale and shipment of Iranian oil to the People’s Republic of China.”>The Treasury said Ashrafi Ghehi had “communicated with Haokun Energy regarding unresolved debts owed to the IRGC.”>However, the Israeli military announced in April that Ashrafi Ghehi was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Tehran on April 3. Iranian state media later published photos from his funeral, held on April 10.Lmao. How many fake funerals has iran staged to make israel and the US believe they got them?
They should send her to the negotiations. I heard she dominates brown boys.

>>534896454I'm technically an oldfag because I've been here since 2009, but my english wasn't good enough so having to browse with those janky translators was annoying, so I came back full time on 2017, mostly browsing /fit/biz/sci/x/. Im a /pol/ newfag tho. Like I've been here for a couple of months, mostly because i've been messing around with oil futures.

what is the likelihood of trump being retarded enough to go for a second round?i still would like to see a houthi blockage
>>534897412It's a direct result of WW2 veterans dying off.Memories become legend, legend fades to myth.Technology is an outgrowth of the beliefs of the culture that creates it. When you stop understanding war through the lens of adaptation, flexibility, compromise and the art of good enough you start assuming you can build the Ultimate™ Deterrent that can beat Everything™.In a way the US ending WW2 with the nuke essentially laid the foundation for the current mess — It made people believe that A) Bombs win wars and B) Better black budget projects win wars.Had Japan surrendered after conventional war every single American weapon of the present day would be practical, affordable and reliable.
>>534897779it is to min max the plane on weight in return you create an over engineered garbage can making what is already a white elephant a glass cannon with poor combat performance on top
U.S. President Donald Trump says he’s disappointed in the Kurds for not passing on weapons meant for the protesters: "The Level of ferocity for protests, you know the people are watching they want to go out on the streets but they have no weapons they have no guns. We thought the Kurds were going to give us weapons but the Kurds disappointed us, all they do is take take take. They have a great reputation in congress, they say 'oh they fight so hard' well they fight hard when they get paid so I'm very disappointed in the Kurds." https://t.me/wfwitness/93540
>>534897546Can you link Iran denying these claims?As far as I'm aware Iran and IAEA confirmed this is what was said.https://www.iaea.org/sites/default/files/gov2026-8.pdfIAEA September report confirmed how much enriched Uranium Iran had. https://isis-online.org/isis-reports/analysis-of-iaea-iran-verification-and-monitoring-and-npt-safeguards-reports-september-2025
>>534897824>US President Donald Trump is increasingly inclined to order a resumption of military operations against Iran in some form because of frustration with Tehran’s conduct in negotiations, Israel's Channel 12 reported citing US officials.>One administration official was quoted as saying, “Trump is going to hit them a bit.”>Another senior official said, “We wanted an agreement, but now everyone understands where this is heading.”>Officials talking to Channel 12 said Trump had hoped to reach a deal but was surprised that Iran was unwilling to meet his demands, bringing the military option back to the forefront.>The report said Vice President JD Vance and envoy Steve Witkoff met Trump today to discuss next steps. Before the meeting, Trump said the ceasefire was “dying.”>The article added that the White House now believes Iran’s response does not allow for the hoped-for progress, and that the aim of renewed military action would be to pressure Tehran into making concessions.
>>534897412Americans already hate this war more than any other fake and gay war we have perpetuated. If they admit people are dying or we are losing in any way it will just skyrocket to unrecoverable levels. Incompetence is the only excuse they cant get away with, they can pretend its because the military isn't diverse enough for the troons and pretend its niggers and antisemites that caused it for the migger neocons. Keeping the appearance of the incompetence isolated and not as wide spread and pathetic as it actually is.
>>534897888the F 16 is great so you are wrong on this specific metric I thinkwhat happened is that Iran developed a direct operational counter for 20 years against US air and naval doctrinewith technological shifts amplifying it, it isn't just some ideological or cultural paradigm that did the US in with Irannot to mention the US pulled the aerial genocide on Korea and vietnamthis is the US version of gunboat diplomacy and it did and does work, that is until 2026

>>534898265>>534898293Bold of him to assume he's dealing with people who don't think of their own tax payers as cattle.
>>534898293Iran will fold long before the USA economically. If they want to force their own collapse then they can do so. Would be better for them to give up their nuclear weapons but oh well.

>>534898293He is right and there's no denying it. The costs of escalating into a full-blown war are too high and the only way to avoid it is making concessions to Iran.
>>534898424time to bomb him then
>>534898265>economy in shambles>"look american taxpayer! youre losing money!"
>>534898332it is two month in, the only reason you don't know this is that you don't careand that you have been on an israeli propaganda plantationdo you admit that you are the victim of propaganda? that the media you watched failed to inform you on omans strong condemnation of witkoff and kushners interpretation of the talks
>>534896454here, what's up?
>>534898414I don't even know why they are tracking the cease fire>Day: 33 of the 14-day Ceasefire™ with Iranisn't it a good thing the ceasefire is going on longer than it was mandated (even if Iran keeps breaking it)?
Why is trump acting like a jealous ex girlfriend? Is he on his period?
>>534898422If your theory is correct, then you just have to wait, right? So there won't be any further attacks on iran, right? Because that would be a waste, if you're right, wouldn't it?
>>534898504I bet they totally want their own shock theory treatment, let's lower the life expectancy for the Jews and their shitty gdp metrics guys worked for russia
>>534898424>kill another ayatollah maybe it will work this timeisrael wants to kill diplomacy permanent by restaging the opening round of the 40 day warpeople who think that it was based on faulty israeli intelligence instead of the faulty intel being a propaganda plot to con the USthen you have been had

>>534898504the equation for the attacker and defender in a war are not the samethe US as attacking party must justify it hollistic as beneficial while the defending side just needs to survive the aggression almost no matter the cost
>>534898520I don't speak arabic and google doesn't return anything about Iran denying IAEA claims. So I'm asking you, someone who has seen these things, to use what you know to provide a link for me to read. I provided you 2 links of what the west and IAEA who is a neutral third part claims. You counter claimed and said that wasn't true and all I ask if you provide a source of this.I really don't see why you are getting so defensive about this.
>>534898504His message is directed at Trump and the Republicans, there's been numerous articles about how Trump and the Republicans are increasingly worried about the impact of the war on the cost of living as midterms approach
>>534898422Iran: Lets the clock run out.Trump: Every day more unhinged demanding immediate surrender.You: Running the clock is better for Trump and the US.
>>534898756If anyone knows if hes dead or alive its Israel. If he's alive they need to kill him so that Iran actually wants to negotiate and want peace for once.

>>534898757>>534898799The kine is just kvetching and making dog shit arguments that only sound smart if you're retarded and coping
>>534898504Why is bibi pushing for further attacks when their economy is collapsing? Shouldn't you just wait until you win? Your logic skills are very underdeveloped.
>>534898504I'm skeptical their economy is as bad as it's portrayed. We can say the exchange rate is whatever we want, but the Soviet union survived and even prospered at times briefly on 90 years of gimmicks and war economy
>>534898293>>534898265i didn't follow up, what are the current points?
>>534898424>kill old ayotollah and replace him with "more reasonable people"(more hardliners with even less of a reason give yoy fucking anything) these people are fucking clowns and I hope Iran manages to sneak a sleeper cell into the whitehouse
>>534898587Correct, we don't have to do anything but wait for their collapse. Although I think it would be a good idea to bomb their leaders if we get good intel on their locations.
>>534895136IS THAT A HORSECOCK DILDO?
>>534898898Because it's probably not collapsing in reality as bad as the propaganda makes it sound.
>>534897800cool. same here except I had a will to live back then and now I want to die. time destroys all eh
>Trump blasts Kurds:>The Kurds take, take, take. They have a great reputation in Congress. Congress says they fight hard. They fight hard when they get paid.>I am very disappointed in the KurdsKWAB>p-p-please defeat Iran for me kurd-sama!!!

>>534896582>hasn't talked to high command in weekslol
>>534899006If he thinks thats the right call to make then I support it. He obviously has more information that I do on the situation.

>>534898956Iran's economy is doing well. They are significantly less dependent on imports than other oil-exporting countries. Thats also why the sanctions never haven't affected them much.
>>534898520>do you admit that you are the victim of propaganda?If I am a victim of propaganda shouldn't you be happy to try to open my mind, to provide sources so that I may read the truth? Instead you insult me, get angry and do everything you can to push me away from what you know. Why are you doing this?
