Iran Super Thread- Merged

Reports that Prince Sultan Airbase in Saudi Arabia has been evacuated, only a handful of tankers are still on the ground.
 
For now, but the equation in Iran has changed and the regime must retain a tight grip on it's population to the point that it will kill the economy and cause Iran to lose the ability to influence the region. I suspect also that armed insurgency will grow. It would have been better for the regime to have lost without this much bloodshed, now there is likley to be no mercy given on either side.
Unfortunately civil wars tend to be the most brutal and bloody.
 
Well, in civil wars, both sides are fighting for their country, within the borders of their country, against an enemy who has "invaded" their country.
 
Doesn't look like it's over.



The blackout becoming permanent also might be a signal the regime is still in full panic mode.


Just joined North Korea as an influencer.

Hope the Kurds aren't counting on reliable help from U.S. & Co. - been stung on that front in the past :(

Meanwhile, this from an opinion piece in a source rated as generally left with "mixed" factuality that still has some points to consider.

Discombobulated.


"Trump commented on the weapon when asked about reports this week that the Biden administration purchased a pulsed energy weapon suspected of being the type that caused “Havana Syndrome.”

"Not much is known about the weapon, but those reports followed on-the-ground accounts from Venezuela describing how Maduro’s gunmen were brought to their knees, “bleeding through the nose” and vomiting blood.

"One member of the deposed strongman’s team of guards recounted afterward that “suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation.”

“The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn’t know how to react,” he said, saying that helicopters then appeared — “barely eight” — carrying about 20 US troops into the area.

“The Discombobulator” then was aimed directly at Maduro’s defenders.

“At one point, they launched something; I don’t know how to describe it. It was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside,” the witness said.

“We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move. We couldn’t even stand up after that sonic weapon — or whatever it was.”
