While Iranians & the rest of the resistance axis is eager to show the civilian toll along side the military reality Israel is responding with censorship.

So if you listen to all the US officials they all say that the troops who didn't die are all doing just swell.
But judging by the interviews mentally and physically scarred US military members are giving from hospitals in the US I for one don't think those injured troops seem too fit for duty rn.
Dude man got hit on the 1st day of the war and STILL has shrapnel in his head.
That man is gonna be PTSD'd as motherfucker once(if) he's physically healed.

The Iranians have clearly laid out their plan. They WANT this to be a long term war.
General Masoud Akhtari of the IRGC explains their plan is to collapse the world economy until regional and worldwide support for the US' warmongering president evaporates.
The General predicts that point comes after a few weeks of oil being over $150 / barrel.

Iran is also notably very organized and thoughtful in their latest round of communications.
Iran's Foreign Policy Advisor Kamal Kharazi reinforced the message, that the US needs to be taught a lesson and to loose support.
CNN recently got reporter Frederik Pleitgen otg in Tehran and that team has been doing so really critical reporting directly speaking with Iranians.

Back on the home front... you know it's clear that Iran could be serious about escalating the situation with oil shipping should tankers attempt to run the blockade.
The typical military play is Iran sending mines. The US would counter with mine sweepers, a strategy that worked well in WWII.
Oh what's that? The US slated the middle east minesweepers for decomissioning AND they just made it back to a US port this week to get taken out of service?
Why US Navy Avenger-Class Minesweepers Have Been Pulled From The Middle East - SlashGear
With the U.S. Navy transitioning to more modern littoral combat ships like the Independence-class, the older, less-capable Avenger-class is being phased out.

So there might be a mine warfare situation in DAYS not weeks or months and the US tried and true mine sweepers are on the wrong side of the globe right now.
The US Navy is not without a solution.
Enter the littoral combat ship, the biggest boondoggle of weapons program run by the Navy in recent memory.
An untested ship that is best known for having a haul that spontaneously cracks apart.
The Inside Story of How the Navy Spent Billions on the “Little Crappy Ship”
Littoral combat ships were supposed to launch the Navy into the future. Instead they broke down across the globe and many of their weapons never worked. Now the Navy is getting rid of them. One is less than five years old.

#EpicFail - Yesterday Trump encouraged tankers to run the Iranian blockade.
This morning we were greeted by videos shot by the first tanker crew to take Trump's advice... showing the crew clinging to life rafts watching the smoking wreck of their ship.
Three ships have been struck by Iran in the past 36ish hours.
Iran says they're doing IR monitoring of engine heat for signs if any movement without their permission.

The US base in Fujairah, UAE was seen being struck around 1am on March 11th, which has become routine.
Video filmed by sailors showed 4-6 US missile interceptors missing the incoming Iranian missile before it struck the base.
Costing a minimum of $16M in failed interceptors.

Rumours of THAAD missile defense systems being withdrawn from South Korea were confirmed this week by both South Korean and US media.
These billion dollar systems are being moved to better protect US assets near Iran to replace the depleted / destroyed systems originally tasked to the US Middle East strategy.
Hasty redeployment of US missiles from South Korea to Middle East leaves Seoul rattled

Back to what popped shit off... killing Khamenei.
I keep feeling as if the Khamenei who was sold to us in the western media isn't an accurate picture of the man.
I've found myself digging deeper to verify claims in Iranian propoganda and I keep finding it all to be true and well supported.
Ali Khamenei was naunaced & well read and. He had deep objections to America's treatment of Black ppl.

Ali Khamenei regularly talked about his favorite western books, Les Misérables, The Grapes of Wrath and Uncle Tom's cabin.
He told tactical thinkers in the Iranian regime to read Uncle Tom's cabin in particular to fully grasp how evil the US is.
When Khamenei said "this book [Uncle tom's cabin] still lives"... I don't think he meant that figuratily.
From all oh Khamenei's statements on Black Americans he clearly means it literally.

Another aspect of Khamenei is the "Death to America" chant which has been around since he was a child.
Khamenei frequently explained that even an a country like America exists and is likely continue existing. The part of America he wants to die is the arrogant imperialism and systematic racism applied inside and out of the country.
Khamenei's beef's were squarely with our leaders who oppressed his country and the people pulling the triggers, not avg citizens.

When listening to Ali Khamenei over the years his version of the concept of سیاست صدور انقلاب اسلامی ایران or Exporting the Islamic Revolution comes into contrast with his predecessor Khomeini.
From my read, Ali Khamenei, defined the revolution as opposing foreign control of governments like the Shah.
The Iranians young and old remember how the Shah got to and remained in power and see parallels all over the world with the same enemy. Namely the US and Zionist-Israel

From Gaza & Lebanon to Sudan & Yemen militant revolutionaries are finding that the genocidal forces they EACH face have been massively weakened by the US+Israel attacking Iran.

This morning oil market analysts are saying that Iran has shipped+sold more oil per day after they were attacked by the US+Israel than they did prior to being attacked.
Also seen reports that the first non-Iranian flagged vessel, a Chinese oil tanker heading for Pakistan, was let through the blockade.

Abbas Araghchi, Iran's Foreign Minister, has been speaking to the media explaining why the country will NOT be negotiating a ceasefire with the US and Israel right now.
He says the US is only beginning to learn not to act in bad faith with their country and that there is more for the Israeli and US leaders to learn.

He says the US is only beginning to learn not to act in bad faith with their country and that there is more for the Israeli and US leaders to learn.
In other media appearances Abbas Araghchi confirms that multiple countries are negotiating directly with the Iranians to ensure their vessels are allowed through the blockade.
So far there are rumors that France and Italy may work directly with Iran.
The FM also notes that they are not actively blockading non-oil shipments and they already are committed to not harming ships that aren't serving the US and Israel.
BUT ships of all types and origins aren't taking the chance & want a clear plan.

With rumors swirling about European countries negotiating directly with Iran... Trump has been begging for EU and Asian countries to come bail out the US military.
Like... it seems the options for world leaders is do you:
1. Work with the US... and likely have missiles and drone boars buzzing all over while your ships run the blockade
OR
2. Talk to Iran like adults and promise not to help Israel assassinate anymore of their leaders right now. No need to run blockade.

So I imagine Trump's not going to like what German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius had to say about the request to send more ships:
"We did not start this war.
What does the world expect, what does Donald Trump expect from a handful or two handfuls of European frigates to achieve there in the Strait of Hormuz, which the powerful American Navy cannot manage alone?
It is not our war; we did not start it."

I think its also interesting how the German Defense Minister clearly points out that even if he and the other military thinkers agreed that their ships could make a difference he would still have to follow German law and get formal approval from federal lawmakers.
Which I'm going out on a limb here.... but I'm gonna bet joining an already losing war that will destroy the economy is probably not a great move politically.
