My only fear for Iran is that we will make them tolerant of faggits. That would be a disaster!

The Iranians have destroyed a lot of American and Israeli missiles with their buildings.

A spokesperson for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on March 9 that Tehran would not allow any Middle Eastern oil to reach the United States or its allies as long as attacks against Iran continue.

The spokesperson, General Ali Mohammad Naeini, was cited by the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency as saying that Iran's military "will not allow a single liter of oil to be exported from the region until further notice due to ongoing aggressions" by the United States and Israel.

Naeini suggested that an Iranian oil shipment blockade would send crude prices soaring, and that any attempts by the United States and its allies to bring down oil prices would prove "temporary and fruitlessuropean equities rebounded on March 10 after steep earlier losses.

More empty threats.

Iran is not firing many missiles eight days in.

I hate to crash the party here but you know me, always on the side of pure facts.

if we are winning so handedly why are gas prices continuing to rise?

Obviously someone is not seeing the situation quite the way the Trump admin is portraying it

To be honest, despite loving his policies and what he's doing for America I'd be remiss if I didn't share that I'm a little annoyed with his recent lack of candor. First on the Epstein files and now this. First we were told late last year that those TopGun style air attacks had been 100% successful in eliminating Iranian threat of nuclear bomb making.

now we're engaged in a hot war.. so not exactly 100% successful the first time around was it?

Maybe in a few weeks we'll be hearing that we need to send in ground forces to properly contain the threat they pose. Then a few weeks later that will morph into winning the hearts and minds of the Iranians and within a year we're at IRAQ/Afghanistan 2.0

I'll tell you the truth... we're on the HOV lane to losing the house with this shit dragging out and gas prices continuing to skyrocket

It's temporary. Twenty percent of the world's oil travels through Hormuz. When tankers are able to travel freely again, the price of crude will plummet.

IMO, the gas prices rising was always going to happen because we moved against Iran and its an excuse for pants shitting. Shipping should be moving along just fine because Iran has been castrated and cant even send out their little speed boats to fuck with shit. There's also NO evidence (that I've seen anyway) that the Iranians have been able to deploy mines in the Strait. Having said that, we need to escort the tankers through if for no other reason than to build confidence and alleviate fears.

The Epstein file debacle baffles me. It was an unforced error. If any group has been fucked by whats come out, its libtards more than CONservatives.

I predict SpecOps will be going in followed by a "peace keeping force" of several thousand at a bare minimum. My biggest fear is that we'll go full on nation building. FUK THAT!

 He was correct.

To be clear, these appear to be drone strikes, not mines.

The Northern Israeli city of Haifa had it's oil refinery bombed.
