How Israel is Unleashing Its Gaza Plan Across the Middle East with Rula Jebreal

Israel's genocidal regime is now enacting its "Gaza plan" across the Middle East, embroiling the United States, our allies, and the region in an unwinnable war.

What we know on Day 25 of the US and Israel’s war with Iran

Trump postpones threat: Trump paused his threat to strike Iran’s power plants for five days after he claimed the US and Iran reached “major points of agreement” in talks over the weekend – though it’s not clear who the US is negotiating with within the Iranian leadership. Iran’s denial: Iran’s foreign ministry said there was “no dialogue” between Tehran and Washington, according to state affiliated media. They dismissed Trump’s claim as an attempt to lower energy prices and buy time for his military plans. One senior military adviser to the supreme leader said the war will continue until Tehran receives full compensation for damage it has sustained.


Amazing how Wall Street will jump on Tweets from Trumpolini without accepting the obvious realities.  There's no dialogue with the Iranians, regardless of his pronouncements.  There's no way His Trumpness and the Ayatollah are going to run the Straight of Hormuz "together". lol.  There's no way the FSoA is going to pay reparations and grovel apologetically.  Most of all, there's NO FUCKING WAY the oil supply market will return to normal in 2026.

Regardless of all of this, it's being ignored and they go ahead and bid upp the market simply because El Trumpo makes an obviously false statement based on his own fantasies.

On the upside, the return to reality should be spectacular.

QuoteEl Trumpo makes an obviously false statement based on his own fantasies.

And still people believe him.

The idea that Trump has got some sense, well we have made that mistake before.  Lets not even go there.  Trump's brain is rotting away, and if you think it can improve then you are delusional.  Likely Trump is just buying time for things to get in place before he attempts to grab Kharg or attempt some other madness.  Trump wants to grab Iran by the pussy.  That has not changed.  Grabbing is all Trump knows how to do.

🇮🇷 The Kharg Island Bloodbath?

If Trump carries out his decades-long violent fantasy, his team expects ‘considerable’ US casualties. Plus, the clock is ticking on the US president's threat to commit war crimes in Iran.



Potential talks.  That is a joke,  The first side to talk in this mess admits they are defeated.  Iran knows Israel has other intentions than peace, and there has not yet been enough pain for Trump to throw Israel under the bus as he will have to before this is over.  But as things are today, Trump will throw America under the bus before he throws Israel under it. 

Before Iran can get a peace they can live with Iran will have to throw America into a 1929 style depression.  That is their plan, and they will prevail.  America will be dragged under the Iran bus since America has no real leadership who can deal with this mess.  Our leadership makes these messes so expecting them to deal with the problem is delusionally nuts.  Our leadership made the mess.  Economic warfare is an appropriate plan for Iran.  Iran did not ask to be bombed, and despite what knuckle-dragging Americans say, Iran was not a threat to begin with.  But now, thanks to Trump and crew, they are.

America Has No Good Options in Iran

Three weeks into the joint U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, the outlines of a familiar and dangerous pattern are emerging. The current conflict may for now be significantly different than American wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, or Vietnam—it has not yet drawn in U.S. ground forces in great numbers. But the Iran war shares a deeper strategic reality with these predecessors. Washington is once again fighting a weaker regional power without having clear objectives, a defined theory of victory, and a viable exit strategy.


With no good options available, you can count on Trumpolini to choose the worst one.  Kharg Island seems the most likely, even though the main result would be to further restrict global energy supply for a longer period of time.  It's unlikely to do anything to get the Iranians to surrender.  However, Trumpolini's moving 5000 grunts halfway around the world.  He's not doing that to have them sit on the boat twidling their thumbs.

Another video from Iran.  Madmen are running this war.  Dropping mines from airplanes.  Of course America will say the Israelis did it.  Nobody takes responsibility


  • New Weapon Deployed — Magnetic Mines Strike Civilian Village Near Shiraz, Iran
    Reporter: Demetri Lceris | Outlet: Reason to Resist
    Date of Recording: March 26, 2026 | Location: Jamal Abad village, near Shiraz, Iran

    1. INTRODUCTION & NEW WEAPON DEPLOYMENT
    On the night of March 25–26, 2026, the Israeli or American Air Force dropped a new type of munition on the village of Jamal Abad near Shiraz. The munition disperses magnetic mines over a wide area—similar to a cluster munition—designed to disable armored vehicles. However, it was deployed over a civilian village with no apparent military presence or facility.

    Key Facts:
    • Type of Munition: Disperses 70–72 magnetic mines per projectile
    • Intended Use: Designed to disable/destroy armored vehicles
    • Actual Deployment: Dropped on a densely populated civilian village
    • First Use in War: Iranian media report this is the first time this munition has been used by US/Israeli forces in Iran during this war
    • Significance: Described as a "very significant escalation"
    2. DANGERS & CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MINES

    Activation Triggers
    • Can be triggered by cell phone devices (reporters instructed to put phones on airplane mode)
    • May be set with timers to detonate at fixed times
    • Sensitive to heat
    • Rain and soil pressure may trigger detonation

    Blast Radius
    • Shrapnel and projectiles can reach up to 40 meters

    Detection Challenges
    • Mines may become buried underground, making them invisible
    • Raining conditions increase danger as mines may be covered or triggered by pressure
    • Houses and lands that are unoccupied may contain undetected mines

    3. CASUALTIES IN JAMALABAD VILLAGE

    First Casualty: Woman Killed in Her Kitchen
    • Circumstances: A woman was killed in her kitchen while cooking
    Second Casualty: Man Killed, Another Maimed
    • Circumstances: A man approached a mine to pick it up
    • Result: He was killed; another individual lost an arm and a leg
    Third Casualty: Young Father (Approx. 30 Years Old)
    • Name: Not provided in transcript
    • Age: In his 30s
    • Family: Survived by a 4-month-old son and his wife
    • Circumstances: A mine dropped near his location; he approached it and it exploded
    • Location: His home; family members were mourning inside
    • Vehicle Damage: His car was riddled with shrapnel holes; blood visible at the scene
    • Wall Damage: A wall was fully destroyed by the blast
    • Extended Family Present: Uncles, cousins, and the martyr's mother were present
    Additional Discovery in Tehran
    • On the morning of March 26, similar mines were found in two neighborhoods in Tehran
    • The deployment is not isolated to Shiraz

    4. LOCAL RESPONSE & ON-GROUND CONDITIONS

    Marking of Dangerous Areas
    • Residents and security teams are marking houses where mines have been found with symbols next to doors to warn others

    Ongoing Risks
    • Security teams have been working since the night of the attack to neutralize mines
    • Some mines have been exploded in controlled demolitions
    • The reporter was unable to witness a controlled explosion due to the security team's absence

    Villager's Defiance (Interview with Local Resident)
    • Question: "Don't you fear?"
    • Response: "Never. If I will die here, I never move from here."
    • On Being Defeated: "We won't be defeated even every day they bombing us, bombarding us."
    5. REPORTER'S CONCLUDING REFLECTIONS (Demetri Lceris)

    • He described the scene as "gruesome and distressing," noting that the head of one victim was still lying on the ground at the time of reporting.
    • He stated the attack was "very fresh" and authorities had not yet had the opportunity to fully deal with the aftermath.
    • As a lawyer, he was asked for his views on what was witnessed; he noted the illegality of deploying such weaponry in a civilian area.
    • He concluded by sharing that a video would be provided showing a controlled explosion of one of the mines to demonstrate its lethality.
    • Sign-off: March 26, 2026, from a village on the outskirts of Shiraz, Iran.

    KEY DATA SUMMARY

    • Date of Attack: Night of March 25–26, 2026

I've never understood why anyone agrees to not build nukes as long as the FSoA, Russia & China have them.  I wouldn't stop until they disarm all theirs.

An armed society is a polite society.  I agree with Hasan Piker.

Every Sovereign nation should have one nuke each.  Then nobody can use one.

Can't wait to hear the next pile of steaming shit to spew out of his mouth.  Actually, read the synopsis since I can't stand listening to him speak.

In an address on Wednesday evening, Trump said "regime change has occurred" in Iran, and that the US is "on track to fulfill all its objectives very soon."  "Never in the history of warfare has an enemy suffered such clear and devastating large-scale losses in a matter of weeks," Trump said.

How long?  That's EZ.  Indefinitely.

Hegseth just fired the top General, undoubtedly because he informed him of this fairly obvious statate of affairs.

While the Iranian regime can survive even while their infrastructure gets bombed back to the stone age and anyone who has a problem with that there will be given a first class ticket to join his ancestors, Trumpolini and the rest of the industrialized nations can only last until the Bond Vigilantes reprice USTs to the value of the toilet paper they're printed on.  At a certain point in this mess, our friends at the PBoC will exercise the Nuclear Option, and I'm not talking about the kind loaded onto ICBMs.  The FSoA has $30T in debt that has to be rolled over, and they're not gonna find a whole lotta buyers while the oil is penned up in the Gulf of Oman.  Considering relations with the Eurotrash, Da Fed isn't gonna be able to use the Belgians to buy their own debt either, and mortgages and corporate paper interest rates spike as a result.  PK & M E-E know this, but they would spook the market if they said it.  I am under no such constraint. 😀

"Whether Trump walks away or escalates by putting US troops on the ground, there is no clear path towards to removing Tehran's ability to exert leverage over supplies.  A quick victorious war and a quick regime change in Tehran do not look plausible.

"If the bar for the Iranian regime is sustaining some low-level threat to the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz, it can likely do this for the foreseeable future," said Campbell."


Indeed.  What does look plausible is a credit lockup that makes 2008 look like the days of wine & roses.

A brief review of American naval history shows how this shift came about, and casts doubt on whether Washington is ready for the future of naval war.


One of the main problems with military strategists is they often build their armies based on their experience in the last war.  This leads to building systems easily defeated or circumvented by new technologies or strategies.  The Maginot Line is the classic example, built based on the experience of WWI, it was vulnerable to the "Blitzkrieg" strategy pursued by the Nazis in WWII.

The same is now true for the Carrier Group, the very expensive flagship of FSoA Naval Power which has been used to dominate the world militarily since WWII.  Those days are over, which some military strategists realize, but dimwits like Trumpolini and most Repugnant War Hawks don't yet grasp.

I have explained many times in the past why the Normandy style invasion of WWII could never be pulled off today by either the FSoA, China or Russia, the 3 biggest military powers.  Ships at sea are simply too slow moving and vulnerable to much cheaper ballistic & cruise missiles and unmanned drones.  A ship full of grunts heading for some beach is much more likely to have Davey Jones Locker as its final destination than a beachhead.

This is a big playing field leveler for poorer, less technologically advanced countries, and the effectiveness of war to achieve political or economic control over other countries has become vastly diminished.  Perhaps this reality will be grasped in the aftermath of this war.

As it stands, we look to be moving into a period of economic siege warfare, where the side that can last longest under deprivations of war is most likely to win.  Winning here is a relative term though, since both sides are economically damaged by the war.  It's not even a Zero Sum Game, it's negative for everyone.  It will be a very expensive lesson for those who advocate for war to solve political and economic conflict.
