I dont understand the tie to Iran. 3 were moved in Oct 2025 over concerns for their safety from US citizens: Top Trump Officials Are Moving Onto Military Bases - The Atlantic

Bondi was moved over concerns from "cartels": Bondi moved to heavily guarded military base amid cartel threats

So where are you getting your information? Link?

Why the hell would cartels do anything with Bondi. Total bs.

But anyways, look how scared the rats are. Can't even face their own music.

Thank God I filled my tank yesterday.

As stated in the article, because of the Venezuela decapitation.

Why would a US attorney general be the target of Iran?

No link, I just made an assumption. I saw the news of the drone flybuy over the base one of the politicians were living in and gathered the rest from that. Although it still doesn't change that they don't have faith in the FBI to protect them.

world largest natural gas reserve are hit by both side

f 35 was hit by irgc

Going to be fun times when not only can poor countries not buy oil due to being priced out, but they can't buy fertiliser either. Something like 80% of the people alive today wouldn't be if not for the Haber Process making nitrogen fertilisers cheap, and that process Requires natural gas. Next largest nitrogen fixing process produces something like 0.6% by mass (and about 0.3% by nitrogen content) of Haber. The damage to the Qatari gas field will take three years minimum to fix.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

I read the Qatari strike as a pretty clear message from Iran; if you strike Kharg Island, we're taking the rest of the Gulf oil industry down with us. Go ahead, make our day. Redacted, of course, doubles down on his threats.

Yes it'll take years for the Gulf oil industry to recover. Brilliant plan this: ready, take aim, shoot foot.

The video they use has to be a fake, surprised the F-35 just trucked on after that explosion, even accounting for thermals making the explosions look bigger (I recall a Ukrainian vehicle getting hit by a Vikhr that went off like a nuke in thermal)

Fair enough, who knows maybe it exploded too far away.

Art of the deal, call them weak and ineffectual and then demand their help.

A manpad missile has very little actual explosive in it, its warhead is usually in the 1kg range, they can still look very big on a thermal camera though. There could be other explanations, like some fuel igniting, but it's probably just the warhead exploding.

(It has to be man portable- it's in the name, as they say- and be able to accelerate quickly up to 5000m altitude, and that requires a lot of propellant, a rocket motor, full manoevring suite, independent targeting electronics etc. There simply isn't much room left over after all that, and a bigger wahead --> less of anything else. 1kg will usually give a plane a very bad day and it's likely a write off even if it didn't crash. By contrast a Vikhr is very very barely man portable in theory, slow, only has to maintain level flight and thus can have a 10x larger warhead)

Trump's reaction to Mueller dying is something else.

Remember how the right wingers were sobbing, crying, and ****ting themselves when others made fun of Charlie Kirk's death.

Yes, he adores the attention that being a world-class jerk gains him. Then again I can only imagine what many people's reaction will be when redacted finally goes toes up.

The contrast of Trump insisting that the Iranians are begging for a ceasefire due to their military being 2000% killed while 186% of their missile launchers have been destroyed and near simultaneously threatening to blow up all their power plants if they don't reopen the Straits of Hormuz is even more telling than usual.

It's very, very obvious that he wants someone, anyone on the Iranian side to start talking to him. That he thinks they will having torn up one agreement than started wars with them twice, during negotiations, is perhaps the definition of hubris. Or stupidity. Maybe both?

The Iranians, of course, have a long list of targets to hit in response. Which will really stuff up the region long term. No drinking water for Riyadh would be quite interesting, in a very Chinese (well, 'Chinese') curse sense.

Would certainly be interesting to see the European reaction to the US blowing up power plants. While presumably not a war crime due to rules 1 and 2* differentiating it from Russia hitting Ukrainian power plants might be a tad difficult to get through to other people.

*(1) someone we like cannot commit a war crime (2) someone we don't like cannot be the victim of a war crime

hypocrisy of nato minion are hardly surprising

still if the natural gas production crashing for year if not decade do not force them to behave more practically

then little else can

I remember the last time Iran launched missiles against Israel having a debate on this thread, I think with @Zoraptor , that Israel had control over the media and it was underreporting or censoring the actual damage done by Iran

That Israeli media censorship doesn't seem to exist anymore?

Wasn't really a debate, you were simply told what the situation was. On average Israel censors more than 2000 (!) articles per year. That hasn't changed.

Or if you prefer, and from the last couple of weeks: "Every reporter in Israel — and every member of the public — is subject to a military censor"

Their actual censorship is more harsh than that of Russia. Maybe not quite as bad as Ukraine, since at least you won't get forcibly enlisted for breaking the rules.

does assassinate journalist count as media censor

if so in the last 3 year there maybe more journalist censored at gaza than the rest of the world combine

No it was never the situation, it was just your opinion where you believed Israel was censoring damage Iran was doing with its missile attacks. That was what we were discussing, Im not talking about other things like Gaza

Do you believe Israel is censoring damage that Iran is doing with its attacks?

And if you do how is this story being reported on?

How can it be worse than Russia, Israel at least has an independant and liberal media that criticizes Netanyahu and the state on a regular basis? There is nothing even closely resembling Haaretz within Russia
