USrael amid depletion of ammo/interceptors and all military options just announced a grand-launch of the "most hardcore" economic sanctions against Iran whose goal is a full isolation of Iran.https://www.whitehouse.gov/releases/2026/08/operation-economic-outcast-total-isolation-of-the-iranian-regime/ Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi: “If Washington has achieved its goals, why is there a need for ‘the largest financial invasion in history’? Is this a victory or an admission of Americas defeat?” IRGC spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi called the sanctions "an implicit admission" of US military failure, noting the US would not need economic warfare if it had won on the battlefield. xDThis new USraeli cope is largely symbolic. Iran has been under sanctions for decades and has already adapted. The US cannot interdict overland flows across Eurasia, Iran is shifting 40% of maritime trade to rail and road routes through Central Asia, Pakistan, Turkey, and Russia. The INSTC corridor and China-Iran rail links bypass sea blockades, with trade settled in yuan, rubles, or barter, not dollars. These sanctions are too late to stop an already diversified, dollar-free trade network. Platforms like Russias SPFS and Chinas CIPS replace SWIFT. China already publicly rejected the new US sanctions. Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian stated that Beijing "firmly opposes illegal, unilateral sanctions" and will "take all necessary measures" to safeguard its interests. China affirmed that its cooperation with Iran is within international law and should not be disrupted. As Irans top trading partner, China continues to buy its oil xD
This is just going to force Iran to go full North Korea and build up missiles systems targetting VISTs. They'll bring to west to their knees.Without boots on ground, and full occupation of Tehran, and soon, it's going to get very rough for western "elites" soon enough.
putin made a wise choice by electing trump as president of usa
>>541377556>build up missiles systems targetting VISTsIran already fields a vast, diversified arsenal of precision-guided ballistic and cruise missiles explicitly configured for VISTs. With ranges up to 2,000 km and increasingly accurate terminal guidance, thousands of these systems are operational across multiple silos and mobile launchers. These weapons showed their long ranges and deadly accuracy during the July campaign, as well as ability to defeat the biggest concentrations on Earth of multiple layered ADsuch as C-RAM, Patriot, THAAD and others.
An oil tanker was just struck by an unidentified projectile about 9 nautical miles northeast of Ash Shishah, Oman, UKMTO said. The strike damaged the engine room and disabled the vessel. Thats the daily winning in the Trumps designated corridor xD
>>541377438>do as we say or we wont do trade with you.>by the way we are going to just stop doing trade with everybody on the planet because why not fuck you.Republicans will never hold a position of power every again for the next 100 years, its Johnson all over again, Trump has been the best democrat plant ever created.He should just come out now and say "we will have them voting democrat for the next hundred years!"

>>541379715On 24 August 2026, Yemens Houthis (Ansar Allah) claimed a ballistic missile strike on the Saudi-flagged VLCC tanker Amzan (Bahri-owned) about 63 nautical miles west of Yanbu in the northern Red Sea. The hit caused a fire on the main deckhttps://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/yemens-houthis-say-they-attacked-ship-off-saudi-arabias-yanbu-no-saudi-2026-08-24/This was a record 1,000 km anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) engagement, roughly double previously demonstrated Houthi ASBM ranges (500 km). It suggests possible use of a domestically produced or Iranian-derived system similar to the Kheibar Shekan with terminal EO/IR guidance. The attack fits the Houthis "blockade-for-blockade" campaign targeting Saudi shipping and oil infrastructure via Yanbu, a key Red Sea export terminal.Reminder we dont talk here about a large regional player like Turkey, Iran or Israel. We talk about a guerilla-derived force consisted of guys walking barefoot controlling large part of Yemens population - the poorest ME country where 80% people live below poverty treshold. Even such groups produce and use precise ballistic/cruise missiles/ASBMs with 1000 km range. Not to mention drones which became a norm already. Thats the reason why the US Navy/Army cant do 2003-tier invasions without paying a huge cost.
