Iran has threatened to strike American bases and 'blow up' the entire Middle East if Donald Trump follows through on his warning of military action in the absence of a new nuclear deal.

-snip-

'If the Americans attack the sanctity of Iran, the entire region will blow up like a spark in an ammunition dump,' Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Qalibaf said Friday.

'Their bases and those of their allies will not be safe,' Qalibaf said in a live speech at the annual Al-Quds Day, or Jerusalem Day, that marks the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan.

Khamenei has called Trump's message deceptive and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Thursday talks were impossible unless Washington changed its 'maximum pressure' policy.

If all, or most, of your weapons are destroyed what will you do then, Iran?
Send in unarmed human meat waves to die like you did in Iraq?

I think those B-2 bombers sitting on Diago Garcia make Iran nervous.

If the US military is released for target practice on IRAN with Russia distracted, things will blow up. Dont say that to loud.

“the entire region will blow up like a spark in an ammunition dump” every despot regime says the same lame thing, but none deliver. IT is like the 6th grade bully outside at recess and after a while you beat his ass.

They should be. I keep thinking...90 days. War Powers Act (1973)

What can be accomplished in 90 days?

POTUS Trump thinks they are bluffing. So do I. It is time. Maybe Goldberg can let us know when it will occur.

The last time Iran got frisky we destroyed 2/3 of their navy in about 6 hours.

Iran gonna attack?

Mmmmmm, yummy..... an-oth-er extremely astute, well-thought out, political strategy:
<><>US taxpayers supply all of Israel’s economic financing and tranches of armaments;
<><>we get to be involved in all their wars
<><>in return we get all their enemies and problems,
<><>future American generations get to inherit Israel’s enemies and their debts as well,
<><>while Israel gets to be a world leader.....unencumbered.

So brilliant.....could even catch on worldwide.


Iran and the rest of the mideast guys haven’t been especially kind to the US or its presidents. The Washington foreign policy establishment has an ingrained belief in its own brilliance and a willingness to succumb to hubris about the extent of its power and influence. The Middle East has a tried and true formula to get foreign aid tax dollars.....uttering the word “peace” at regular intervals.

“Peace” in the Middle East has been a pipe dream for about a thousand years........there’s a
huge price tag on “peace,” with the US taxpayer gamely trying to meet the latest “peace price.”

Netanyahu to Trump: “Can you top this?”
<><>During the 2024 election year, Biden blanketed Israel w/ $17.9 billion peace-keeping tax dollars in that one year alone, saying, “Nobody has done more for Israeli peace than I have.”

Besides peace-making weaponry, Israel also receives peace-keeping economic and humanitarian tax dollars in foreign aid, which supports broad peaceful economic development and socio-political stability and can include peaceable non-military support related to the country’s pressing peace needs.

Nice.

A rhetorical question, but I like the way you think.

It’s not attacks in the Middle East that concern me. Its attacks here.

Out of the 20 million folks that crossed the border over the past ten years, how many could be “sleeper” jihadis. It doesn’t take too many die hard Mahdi-fans to ruin a day.

The Russian air defenses that Iran tried to use against Israeli warplanes were a big flop.
