Not exactly comparable since a lot of dumb bombs were dropped during the first Gulf War.

- Thread starter Phead128

Another carrier is being sent to the Middle East.
That just means that the US doesn't have confidence of flying freely over Iran, and that Iranian air defenses were destroyed as they claimed.
Iraqi Shia Militias are warning:
IRGC PR:
I went back few pages, there was a link to a tweet about Ukrainian death in UAE but it was community noted as its old.
Wanted to compare face picture with this one being circulated.
Essentially they will be willing to attack Kuwait if these forces buildup.

If they could launch 100k sorties, wouldn't they? The obvious answer is they can't because in Desert Storm their logistic lines were far shorter.
This person is Al Jazeera Arabic’s Tehran bureau chief, no idea how authentic it is etc.
Meanwhile Trump:
They dont have to do a deal
Maybe Trump genuinely isnt being told that Iran is still firing missiles-drones?
YES BB GUNS
Pakistan is very hard to make diplomacy work it seems. The joint statement had five points, which :
Immediate Cessation of Hostilities: China and Pakistan call for immediate cessation of hostilities and utmost efforts to prevent the conflict from spreading. Humanitarian assistance must be allowed to all war-affected areas.
Start of peace talks as soon as possible. Sovereignty, territorial integrity, national independence and security of Iran and the Gulf states should be safeguarded. Dialogue and diplomacy is the only viable option to resolve conflicts. China and Pakistan support the relevant parties in initiating talks, with all parties committing to peaceful resolution of disputes, and refraining from the use or the threat of use of force during peace talks.
Security of nonmilitary targets. The principle of protecting civilians in military conflict should be observed. China and Pakistan call on parties to the conflict to immediately stop attacks on civilians and nonmilitary targets, and fully adhere to International Humanitarian Law (IHL), and stop attacking important infrastructure, including energy, desalination and power facilities, and peaceful nuclear infrastructure, such as nuclear power plants.
Security of shipping lanes. The Strait of Hormuz, together with its adjacent waters, is an important global shipping route for goods and energy. China and Pakistan call on the parties to protect the security of ships and crew members stranded in the Strait of Hormuz, allow the early and safe passage of civilian and commercial ships, and restore normal passage through the Strait as soon as possible.
Primacy of the United Nations Charter. China and Pakistan call for efforts to practice true multilateralism, to jointly strengthen the primacy of the U.N., and to support the conclusion of an agreement for establishing a comprehensive peace framework and realizing lasting peace based on the purposes and principles of the U.N. Charter and international law.
If Trump wants to TACO, this is it.

If Trump wants to TACO, this is it.
If this actually works he better physically kowtow a hundred times when he meets Xi out of sheer gratitude. They’ve literally got their privates in a bear trap and through immeasurable skill, the SeeSeePee helped them reattach it.
I honestly believe Trump isn't even looking at loss and damage data. It just doesn't catch his interest the way a 2 minute 360 no scope explosions montage can.
The hard part for the U.S. military to strike a delicate balance between truth and propaganda so that they can nudge Trump towards a negotiating mood!
If they truth pill too hard — Trump finds out about heavy losses and gets hella mad and continues to escalate, possibly to the point of using tactical nukes.
If they go full winologist — Trump thinks that the Epstein alliance is winning bigly and doesn’t want to negotiate since Iranians will be destroyed any minute now.
