Also:

Quote:Iran’s Supreme National Security Council secretary on Tuesday threatened President Trump after the president warned Iran against stopping oil from passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

“The sacrificial nation of Iran doesn’t fear your empty threats,” secretary Ali Larijani wrote on social platform X in a post translated by The Associated Press. “Even those bigger than you couldn’t eliminate Iran. Be careful not to get eliminated yourself.”

Dear god, what a tease!

Quote:Larijani was reacting to Trump’s Monday comments on Truth Social.

“If Iran does anything that tops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far,” the president wrote.

“Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen!” he continued. “This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated.”

Dear god, what a fucking blowhard.

^I seem to recall the blowhard telling the world back in June that Iran’s enrichment capabilities were ‘completely and totally obliterated’. Now, he’s talking (out loud, no less!) about putting boots on the ground to go in and take Iran’s 450kg of enriched uranium. Was he lying then or is he lying now?

To our members with military experience: Am I wrong, or is it a tremendously bad idea to tell an enemy what your next move is going to be?

I don't think you need to be a vet to know the answer to that.

As a career civilian, I thought it polite to ask.

FBI warns Iran could attack California with drones



teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

That’d be a neat trick, given the range of Shahed drones and the distance from Iran to California.

If Iran could get a container ship off the West Coast, not a problem ... but they'd be sunk before leaving Iranian waters.
