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)

  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

  • 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.

How Trump's War In Iran Can Lead To More Nukes In The World

Now, it is not just Iran's nuclear programme that will be a threat to the US and the world.  Last week, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, said the "present situation clearly proves" his country was right in its decision not to let go of its nuclear arsenal. Kim accused Washington of "state-sponsored terrorism and aggression".  The fates of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and Iraq's Saddam Hussein are also lessons for North Korea and the world. Both were toppled after abandoning their nuclear programmes.

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.

President Trump will address the nation on the Iran war

Trump told reporters Tuesday that the responsibility for keeping the Strait of Hormuz open should belong with countries that rely on it. He said there’s “no reason for us to do this.” Trump expressed frustration with allies who have been unwilling to do more to support the U.S. war effort, saying “go get your own oil.” Trump vacillates between insisting there is progress in diplomatic talks, then threatening to widen the war.

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.

So the latest idea is to claim victory and leave the straight closed?  How does he sell that one?

Iran war: How long can Tehran's asymmetric strategy hold?

US President Donald Trump has signaled he wants a quick end to the war in Iran, even as US military assets amass around the Persian Gulf, where Tehran is still choking off a substantial chunk of the world's energy supply by blocking the Strait of Hormuz.

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.

Why the US Navy won't blast the Iranians and 'open' Strait of Hormuz

The days of omnipotent U.S. sea power as a power projection instrument close to well defended shorelines are coming to an end. This change raises questions about the future of navies and the wisdom of investment in these extremely expensive instruments of national power.

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.

U.S. fighter jet shot down in Iran, search underway for crew

Iran has shot down a U.S. fighter jet, per Iranian media and a source familiar with the incident, and a search and rescue effort is underway to locate two crew

A reward will be given to the person who captures the American pilot alive, Iranian state television announced.  According to the statement, the police department of the Kohgiluyeh region has promised a reward to those who assist in capturing the pilot or pilots of a US fighter jet shot down in Iranian airspace.

Trump’s Base Motives

Iranian airstrikes have damaged or destroyed at least 228 structures or pieces of equipment at U.S. military sites across the Middle East since the war began.

Hitting hangars, barracks, fuel depots, aircraft and key radar, communications and air defense equipment, according to a Washington Post analysis of satellite imagery. The amount of destruction is far larger than what has been publicly acknowledged by the U.S. government or previously reported.

No big surprise that Trumpolini has been covering up the destruction of FSoA Airbases in Saudi, Kuwait and Bahrain.  I'd also still bet given that level of destruction that the current claim that only 13 grunts have been killed is a pile of horseshit. 😒

His Trumpness must be wildly pissed off at WaPo & Bezos for doing an end-around on FSoA censorship of Satellite Imagery and getting the facts out. 😁  Jeffy finally does something worthwhile with his media acquisition.

Obviously this clarifies why the Trumpenator wanted a Ceasefire, besides being short on Ammo, half their operating bases have suffered near total destruction and they're short on planes and radar installations.  Also why the war isn't close to being over and Hormuz reopened for shipping the Black Gold to power Happy Motoring and factories around the world.

The Market of course is still in denial and posting record highs on days El Trumpo makes a new claim that "Peace is Just Around the Corner".  When reality finally sets in maybe around Harvest Time, the bloodbath will be worth the wait.

They went down in highly visible plane crashes.  Iranian media crowed about it. Grunts on the ground, not so visible.

Iran Not to Compromise on Nuclear Rights: MP

An Iranian lawmaker considered the right to uranium enrichment to be a red line for the country, stressing that Iran will not back down from its nuclear rights.

Do you think so?

As the world goes medieval as fast as the moon circles, perhaps letting the only adults in the room have the same adult toys the children in the room have could be seen as a reasonable concession.  It could even be seen as the smart thing to do.  I'm with Hassan Piker.  Every country over a certain size should have a bomb.

An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.

In the case of Iran, a half dozen tactical nukes might count as their single big nuke.  Each with in an escort of a dozen decoys.  That way peace can be kept when the outlaws come to town.
