I just did a quick search. Vietnam currently has about 7 million more people. But Iran is five times larger than Vietnam.

And agreed.

Qué completa estupidez. No es tan difícil y, sinceramente, es señal de un cerebro muy pequeño.

Algunos dirían que el más pequeño.

In case you think I’m kidding about the goat. My coworker Jon Farina shot this last night in New York

To be clear, I’m not saying I think we’re at the point of nuclear war.

These people need to be expelled from all forms of government and public life. They are an insane cult and need to be utterly stopped before they kill us all.

That’s not hyperbole. Anyone who cheers on the potential of nuclear annihilation is unfit for any position of power or influence.

Intel report warns large-scale war ‘unlikely’ to oust Iran’s regime A classified U.S. report doubts that Iran’s opposition would take power following either a short or extended U.S. military campaign.

A classified report found that even a large-scale assault on Iran launched by the United States would be unlikely to oust the Islamic republic’s entrenched military and clerical establishment.

Did the Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center make Oopsie?
What airdefence doing?

The Russians were saying it this morning. U.S. nor Israel will EVER confirm it to be true.

Iran will let us know. (Thank you, Iran)

It is not pricing the possibility that one autonomous IRGC commander's targeting decision could turn the richest countries in the region into humanitarian emergencies by destroying their water supply.
10/10

The Gulf states in 2026 are far more dependent on desalination than Kuwait was then, with larger populations, higher consumption, and zero alternative freshwater sources.

The oil market is pricing potential supply disruptions.
9/10

In 1991, Iraq pumped crude oil into Kuwait's desalination water intakes during the Gulf War. Kuwait imported 750 emergency water tankers, and recovery took years.
8/10

With the death of Iran's central leadership, the restraint on targeting desalination plants was a centralized strategic decision. Regional commanders who now hold independent authority inherited that restraint but are under no institutional obligation to maintain it.
7/10

Iran's military operates under Mosaic Defense doctrine, restructured after studying America's 2003 invasion of Iraq. The system includes thirty one autonomous provincial commands, each with independent targeting authority, each designed to continue fighting without orders from Tehran.
6/10

This is described as calibration, not incompetence. The near misses are interpreted as a message: Iran can turn off the water supply whenever it decides the cost of restraint exceeds the cost of escalation.
5/10

Both incidents were classified as collateral damage from nearby interceptions.

Iran has struck refineries, military bases, embassies, and power stations across the Gulf over the past seven days, but has not hit a single desalination plant directly.
4/10

On March 2, Iranian missile debris struck a power station in Fujairah that feeds one of the world's largest desalination facilities. Interceptor fragments also started a fire at Kuwait's Doha West power and water desalination complex. Neither plant was directly targeted.
3/10

Specific national dependence on desalination is extremely high: Kuwait gets ninety percent of its drinking water from desalination. Oman gets eighty six percent. Saudi Arabia gets seventy percent. Without these plants, these petroleum-rich states would become uninhabitable within days.
2/10

Eight of the ten largest desalination plants on earth are located on the coast of the Arabian Peninsula. They produce roughly sixty percent of all desalinated water on the planet. One hundred million people depend on water from these facilities daily.

🗣️ "Cuba is in its last moments of life,"

Donald Trump has suggested the U.S. will focus on Cuba once the conflict with Iran ends.

Trump made the remarks to Latin American leaders at his Florida golf club.

America's racism towards Arabs is hard-baked in over decades. It's not something Trump is personally responsible for other than maintaining his own bit of it.

I’m “ashamed to be British” because we’ve allowed USA to bomb Iran from our bases.
I would be much happier with him if he’d told them to sod off completely.

@johndozy.bsky.social straight up hates Muslims.

Actually Netanyahu convinced Trump invest Now in Crippling Iran so they can’t terrorize our Gaza Strip Investment that we both garnered by Genocide. 😡😡🤢🤢🤢🤮

They said nothing inaccurate. Maybe look to those you protect to change their shitty behavior

100%. I am at this point confident that the Iranians are killing exactly as many Americans as they say they are.

I'm even reading reports that military hospitals out there are refusing maternal patients which doesn't make sense if the numbers are only six dead...

anyone else noticing the decided lack of video associated with this ongoing war crime against Iran. We get more stuff from Ukraine vs. Russia than we have from propaganda central.

Anyone else suspect that our conventional war approach is falling on its ass and the Iranians are "winning"?

White House Says Trump Will Decide When Iran Has Really Surrendered The White House is clarifying what President Trump meant in his demand for Iran’s “unconditional surrender.”

Iraqi Kurdish politician Bafel Talabani on Fox: “Iranians, like many people, are very nationalistic.

“If they believe that Kurdish forces coming from outside the country could split or fragment Iran, it might actually unite the population against what they would view as a separatist movement.”

Trump threatens to escalate bombing as Iran vows no surrender https://mrf.lu/mBXn

Some Israeli last month: "Hahaha dead Palestinians hahaha"

Same Israeli this month: "AAAAA AAAAA AAAAA AAAA AA AAAAA AAAA AAAAA AAAA!!!"
