The Iran War (was Nuclear Program) thread

Shooting at Israeli consulate in Istanbul Turkey just now. Posting here because I’m assuming it’s Iran related.

Warning a bit graphic. I don’t mean blood and guts but lots of shooting and men down. I can’t really tell who are the bad guys and who are the Turkish SWATS.

So. What’s the betting on polymarket for 8 pm?

I say no to the powerplants. If anything, kharg island. But what the fuck do I know.

Just in case anyone cares about what Mr. Carlson has to say ...

Indeed. All it seems to have accomplished diplomatically is turn the clock back to 27 February.

What the war has accomplished is to turn the economies of the Persian Gulf on their head and sow more Trump induced economic chaos globally.

Will be interesting to see in the upcoming days as to whether “open the Straits to safe and unfettered passage” has the same meaning in Farsi as it does in Trumpian English dialect.

This is being reported as the 10 point plan forming the basis of the ceasefire. Looks like a big L for the US.

I think Trump’s friend Putin and his Foreign Minister, Lavrov wrote those points for the Iranians.

Well, it may be better than targeting infrastructure that serves the population.
