Iran Super Thread- Merged

Paid in Chinese Yuan apparently, I have to wonder how much ends up in the government coffers and how much into various peoples retirement fund?
 
Bolton is very much team "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran", but even he thinks this whole thing wasn't well thought out.

Trump says Iran has 'one more chance at peace' as Tehran calls reports of US talks 'fake news'

The president earlier said he'd postponed strikes on Iranian power plants after talks, which the speaker of Iran's parliament denies took place.

US actions in Iran are 'haphazard', former Trump aide tells the BBC​


John Bolton, who was National Security Advisor between for little over a year during Trump's first term, has described the US military strikes in Iran as "haphazard" and "not well thought out".

As a long-term supporter of changing Tehran's clerical government, Bolton tells the BBC's Newsnight that, "It would be nice to do it the right way instead of the haphazard way in which Trump is proceeding.

"The American people were not well prepared, Congress was not prepared, the allies were not prepared."

Bolton also says Iran has realised the devastation it can cause by blockading the Strait of Hormuz, where about one-fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas passes through.

"The reality is if this regime remains in power, they now have visible proof of the effect of closing the Strait of Hormuz. It's not quite a nuclear weapon, but it leaves them in control of the oil coming out of the Gulf at their discretion going forward."

Since leaving the White House in 2019, Bolton has been a vocal Trump critic – writing in his memoir that his former boss was "stunningly uninformed" and unfit for office.

I was wondering that, apparently this has happened before. Apparently a diesel production section blew up.

This refinery drinks crappy heavy sour crude like what’s produced in Venezuela or Alberta. It’s not a destination for Western Canadian Select.

All troops involved will be issued Crocs to allow the denial of having boots on the ground.
 
I wonder what the life expectancy of the unnamed Iranian official that the US is supposedly talking to will be if the IRGC finds out who it is?
