Gulf War No.37: Iranistan

[Beebo]

World leaders seem to be getting their messaging in order now. They have realised that sucking up to Trump doesn’t work, because there is no reciprocal agreement to anything. And if you don’t involve allies in the planning phase, then don’t be surprised when they don’t rush to fix your mistakes.

Macron has issued some very stern words, basically telling Trump to shut up and get serious.
Hopefully this is the start of a joint diplomatic effort to put Trump back in his box.

"This is not a show. We are talking about war and peace and the lives of men and women,"

"When you want to be serious you don't say every day the opposite of what you said the day before,"

"And maybe you shouldn't be speaking every day. You should just let things quieten down."

I wonder what truths he’s told them.

Just get another yes man in, that’s bound to work.

All the US has really managed to achieve (other than an imagined destruction of Iran’s military and nuclear manufacturing capabilities) is to show Iran has a really strong bargaining chip they had previously been to scared to use. They now know they can use it with impunity and come out of this stronger than at the start.

No, that's the line most main stream media sofa-sitting analyst say. All they managed to achieve is yet to be seen but they have at least destroyed all or most of their Navy/aviation and air defense is virtually non-existent either. Trumps ''we are winning, there is almost nothing left to destroy'' is a bit premature, but to claim Iran is winning and/or has a strong bargaining position is the other end of the spectrum, i mean only today their rumored negotiator was taken out,(position so strong they won't even confirm they are negotiating) the Newly installed leader is yet to appear in person, he might noet even be alive for all we know and to post a twitter thingy:

if so much of your leadership is taken out, how strong is your position really?
If US or Israel find a way to unblock Iran's internet blockage what would happen? Let's not forget information is part of war and Iran helds an iron grip on what they tell poeple about what is happening. Today one of their bobo's claimed up to 7 million people would take up arms against any ground invasion but nothing has provided as proof might as well be the other way around with 7million ready to take up arms against the regime.

I notice that the BBC has given up live reporting on Iran. I guess there are more important issues going on. 😞

Edit:- It is still there, but you have to dig deep to find it.

And yet despite all this Iran are able to prevent the world’s shipping trade through Hormuz. If they have been that badly weakened it should be pretty easy for the combined military forces of the countries affected to keep it open.
