War with Iran - DEFCON 3

[dabrockster]

Looks like the new leader is in a coma and severely injured.


IRAN is waging a war detonating global chaos led by a man in a coma, it was revealed today.

New Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has been put in charge by the rogue state’s mad mullahs despite being critically wounded in an air strike.

Sources told The Sun the 56-year-old son of assassinated Ayatollah Ali Khamenei lost at least one leg and has also suffered serious stomach or liver damage.

It was unclear whether he was injured on the same day his 86-year-old father died – February 28 – but he is not directing the strategy currently sparking energy market turmoil.

A Sun source in Iranian capital Tehran today smuggled out extraordinary detail about the new leader’s condition, treatment, location and security.

He is currently under intensive care at the Sina University Hospital in the city’s historic quarter after a section of the building was sealed off surrounded by massive security.

From the last line:

“But his condition actually has little bearing on the course of the war as he is a puppet put in place by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

“They hold the power now and they are running Iran.”

So, basically, the regime is more entrenched than ever. Not much change happening.

Yeah, I was gonna say, is The Sun is a source I would be a bit embarrassed to be citing.

Even Google AI agrees:

The Sun
(UK tabloid) is generally considered an unreliable source for factual news, having been ranked as the least trusted national newspaper in the UK with only 9% trust from readers. It is known for sensationalism, right-wing bias, and frequently uses "clickbait" headlines, making it poor for objective, evidence-based reporting.

Repeatedly voting that guy into office is embarrassing.

His relative morality view of the world is jarring, but with a clear-eyed view of our recent international action it approaches reality. I'm convinced that he uses the other world baddies as an excuse to do his own immorality. But when you're at war and you're ho-hum acknowledging an adversary's help to your enemy, that hits differently:

Are his supporters OK with not only ignoring Russia's help with Iran but rewarding them with an oil embargo reprieve? I'm guessing, probably.

Kegsbreath keeps on war criming.

"We will keep pressing, we will keep pushing, keep advancing, no quarter, no mercy for our enemies.”

Declaring no quarter or no mercy is a war crime. It also eliminates the probabilty of surrender, since if you surrender, you die. That's literally what no quarter means. It's the definition of an illegal order. It also puts servicemembers at greater risk because if all POWs are going to be killed by our side, all POWs are going to be killed by theirs.

The DOD's Law of War literally says "It is forbidden to declare that no quarter will be given. This means that is is prohibited to order that legitimate offers of surrender will be refused or that detainees, such as unpriviledged belligerants, will be summarily executed. Moreover, it is also prohibited to conduct hostilities on the basis that there shall be no survivors, or the threaten the adverary with the denial of quarter. This rule is based on both humanitarian and military considerations. This rule also applied during non-international armed conflict."

I don't give a shit if this is just Kegsbreath being a Frat Bro. Words have meaning. Get this piece of filth out of the Pentagon.

yeah but you gotta admit his 'stars and stripes and the star of David' line had some bitchin' symmetry.

yeah but you gotta admit his 'stars and stripes and the star of Israel' line had some bitchin' symmetry.

You mean the line that gave Iran every soundbite it would ever need to sway folks that this is a Nat-C / Jewish war against Islam?

We have seen an increase in attacks towards Jews and Americans here due to affiliations to ISIS, Protesting Israel, War with Iran etc. An AG in Michigan places blame on the war in Iran. In Detroit/Dearborn you have a a Mayor who celebrates terrorist and shames Americans for disagreeing with naming of streets. Was the war against Iran a catalyst to these attacks as the AG suggest's or are these politicians the catalysts.

Michigan synagogue ramming

• Suspect identified: The suspect in the synagogue ramming attack has been identified by DHS as 41-year-old Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, who was born in Lebanon and became a US citizen in 2016.

Virginia university shooting

• Shooter identified as convicted ISIS supporter: The gunman was identified by the FBI as 36-year-old Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a former Virginia National Guard member who pleaded guilty to attempting to aid ISIS in 2016.

Jalloh was enlisted as a combat engineer with the Virginia National Guard from 2009 to 2015, an Army official confirmed. Shortly after he left the military, he was arrested for trying to provide support to ISIS.

Before his arrest in 2016, Jalloh tried to procure weapons to be used in what he believed would be an attack committed in the name of ISIS and also tried to donate money to the group, according to the Department of Justice.

Unbeknownst to Jalloh, he had been speaking to an FBI source who was monitoring his behavior. When discussing the timeline for a possible attack on US soil, Jalloh “expressed that it was better to plan an operation for Ramadan,” according to an affidavit from an FBI agent.

Thursday’s attack took place during Ramadan, a Muslim holy month that is observed as a time of fasting and spiritual renewal.

Jalloh pleaded guilty in 2017 to attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization and was sentenced to 11 years in prison in 2017. He was released from federal custody in December 2024.

This war is pretty foolish. Now Trump is asking allies to help us clear the Straight of Hormuz. Probably shouldn't have told NATO to fuck off.
