US/Israel and Iran- (3 Viewers)

[efil4]

Thought we should start thread here - over weekend, US carried out strikes against Houthi elements in Yemen in retaliation for their actions in Red Sea.



Houthi leader issued this statement- no US ships in Red Sea


Houthis then attempted to strike US Carrier group

This morning Trump took to Truth Social:



So any missile/shot fired from Houthi elements in Yemen will be considered coming from Iran. Obviously this is wrought with problems, but we know Houthis will respond and continue attacks.

So then what does this mean for Iran? Lots to unpack, but seems to me that the NO WAR POTUS is hell bent on getting into yet ANOTHER conflict in the ME. He is backing himself into a corner with statements and we could find ourselves embroiled in ME conflict again.

Russia launches an attack on Ukraine and the world community shuts them out. FIFA and UEFA kicked Russia out until further notice. The FIA took action to remove Russian sponsors and a driver immediately.

The US invaded territorial integrity of Venezuela and removed its president and coerced a new agreement with the remaining government for its oil. The US launches more than a dozen extrajurisidictional maritime executions of alleged drug runners with zero evidence or due process. And then the US launches a massive unprovoked attack on Iran that has shocked the global economy.

Goes completely without sanction from the global community. World Cup to be held in the US! Olympics coming in two years.

Had Trump been president when Russia invaded Ukraine, Russia too would be in the olympics and wc. Ukraine, unfortunately, wouldn't.

he is going to tell us all to deal with the gas prices in short term, the Golden Age is upon us, that we have reduced Iran to circa 1000BC, and that all this griping and moaning isnt helping.

Oil down to 94. Bet its SPR release

I think he already announced that and it didn't do much. The straight is still empty

none.

I read further and found out it was during an interview where the host asked Leavitt if the draft (and a few other things IIRC) are “off the table” and Leavitt says that “nothing” is off the table.

So yeah a bit of fear mongering - but also not very savvy of Leavitt, IMO.

Oil to 88

Todays presser will be "Mission Accomplished" ( so its looking like )

Hope Iran thinks it’s over as well. Should we be worried about Iran retaliated via terrorism?

I dunno. We have been fighting them for years. So unless there is regime change I think it is a safe bet that fight will continue. I highly doubt they will take a beating and not seek to retaliate.
