— Is Trump aware that, in order to enforce a naval blockade, he needs an actual fleet in the Persian Gulf, which means putting American sailors as sitting ducks in Iran’s backyard?

Good point

And I tell my people, I want everything. I don’t want 90%, I don’t want 95%, I want them to give us everything.’

I actually can’t breathe this shir so fujny

‘I could take out Iran in one day. One hour.’

@Middle_East_Spectator

— This is how little the Americans care about their ‘allies’ in the Persian Gulf btw. They don’t care if you get hit, even in the slightest.

Signing the Abraham Accords, staying silent on Palestinian genocide, enforcing rampant secularization — none of it matters, all you are is a cash cow to America.

They don’t even consider you within their calculations.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇵🇰 NEW: The Iranian delegation has landed safely in Tehran

@Middle_East_Spectator

— It should be noted that gathering such a large delegation, with so many important government members, carries an immense security risk.

All of them arriving and leaving from Mehrabad Airport at the same time provides a huge opportunity to American / Israeli intelligence to track these leaders to their safehouses and potentially assassinate them.

It’s not even necessary to do this with advanced surveillance methods. They can utilize internal spies or collaborators to follow the cars of delegation members, put trackers on them, or report their locations.

This aspect should definitely be kept in mind when thinking about another round of negotiations. Every time you gather these 20+ top officials, you’re handing out free intel to the enemy on a golden platter.

Let’s hope some plans are in place to protect them from being tracked.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: A staggering 68% of Americans say they are ‘worried’ about the current state of the war with Iran, with 57% saying they feel ‘stressed’

— 🇮🇷 Iran’s Parliament Speaker, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf:

‘The news of our country's national freestyle wrestling team winning the Asian Championship in these glorious days has sweetened the hearts of the Iranian people and once again demonstrated that the train of Iran's dignity and power cannot be stopped in any arena.

The brave Iranian athletes once again made the melodious anthem of the Islamic Republic of Iran resound, so that the world may witness the strength of our fighters in all arenas.

I congratulate the brave wrestlers, managers, coaches, and the noble and proud people of Iran on achieving this valuable victory, which demonstrates the combination of commitment and expertise, and I pray to Almighty God for the ultimate victory of glorious Iran.’

@Middle_East_Spectator

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NOTE: Not enough attention was paid to Trump’s last sentence on his Truth Social:

‘At an appropriate moment, our military will finish up the little that is left of Iran.’

This suggests Trump is actively considering resuming the war at any moment, and the imposing of a naval blockade does not exclude the possibility of a resumption of war.
