Gulf War No.37: Iranistan

[Milzy]

Absolutely. The Ayatollah Khomeini is dead and has been replaced by the Ayatollah Khomeini - rumoured to be more hardline than his dad.

Rumour was a rumour but both dead so the regime has still changed.

The regime was (is) not the leader. They can come and go.

Defn: A regime is a system of government, method of management, or set of rules controlling an organization or state.

The clerics are gone, its being controlled by the Islamic miltary.

Huge numbers of the leaders are dead too.

The personnel has changed, the regime remains.
Don't worry, you are not alone. The US administration doesn't seem to know this either.

They're as mad as the Iranians

That's a bit vague. Contribute to keeping the straits open. You should have got involved before

The straits are open
The cause for them being blocked has ceased

Well intentioned but the flaw is not hard to find.

Ooops and then they aren't...... Netanyahu, the gift that keeps giving

Fantastic. Let's just say that you are piloting an oil tanker ship. It takes a few hours to navigate the strait, but there is a big queue where you have to pass Iranian checks and make sure your boss has paid the toll. So you could be there for say 12 hours.
How confident are you that some farking lunatic isn't going to lob a missile in your direction, given that you are driving a massively explodey boat?

It’s up to Netanyahu, he owns Trump.

I think you'll find he has Trump on a lease deal from Putin.
