Raptor, are you capable of posting anything other than Twitter reposts?
Explain to us how any of your incessant reposts are in any way related to the US perspective of this conflict.

The President of Iran has not changed at all since the start of the war. There is "no new President of Iran!!". Shows how clueless Trump is, and how gullible Americans are to believe anything coming out of Trumps mouth.

The best I can tell, and am willing to be proven wrong, is with the elimination of much of the leadership, the IRGC is actually in charge. Any "President" as well as the junior Ayatollah, are simply public figureheads at best.

Trump probably meant president of Iran has a new software update.

It is the president of the USA who needs a software update, though it looks like his CPU is already maxed out trying to not take a crap in pants when is not meant to .

"...a problem which didn't exist before Operation Epic Fury."
A phrase we will be seeing more often as this war continues.

Your last statement about how gullible Americans are is incorrect. Even my 84 year old mother, who tries to avoid the news, does not believe a word out of Trump's mouth.

Who is in charge in Iran is not important. Its policies in the region going forward are what matter the most.

I’ve stated my thoughts here this entire thread. I’m updating on the progress of the war. If theres an issue with X posts, start with the 7,500 page main thread with a million X posts.
I’ve stuck to the topic, Iran-US. I don’t dish out underhanded personal insults. No reason to be coy, people don’t like my thoughts and opinions. Thats fine, I don’t care. They can stick to the other thread, that’s their choice, but this a geopolitical defense forum and all opinions should be welcomed.

Ten minutes from now.....
The threat Iran has issued in response to the targeting and death of another member of the Iranian senior leadership is against 18 large cap stocks “with a presence in the region” that hold up the US equities indexes, including Microsoft, Nvidia, Google, Apple, IBM and TESLA.
The nature of the threat is not defined, but most experts estimate it will be computer hacking taking those companies off line for an extended period of time rather than physical attacks on infrastructure, although this cannot be ruled out either.
The nature of the retaliatory attacks could be on chip fab plants in the US but more likely installations in Israel and the GCC countries. In June 2025, a Microsoft headquarters building in Israel was targeted and hit by Iran for its cooperation with the IDF. It is believed this time, whatever threats are being made will be made with the intent to have an immediate negative impact on the stock value as well as long term viability of manufacturing of the listed companies. Spokespersons for the IRGC have repeatedly called out President Trump for manipulating the stock markets through timing of his remarks, and the subsequent insider trading by those with intimate knowledge of American intentions and response.
This is already in addition to helium suppliers, including AirGas in the US declaring force majeure because helium from Qatar, the major supplier, is not moving through the Strait of Hormez. Chip fabrication & AI expansion cannot take place without helium.
Iran is choking off the world's helium supply
Iran has stated the attacks will take place at 8pm Tehran time on April 1st, which would be 11:30 am NYT tomorrow, Wednesday April 1st, at the height of the trading day.
Iran threatens 18 large US stocks on April 1st
Several traders have reported on social media with trading desk screenshots that large numbers of 0DTE PUTS have been placed for tomorrow, April 1st.
“0DTE puts (Zero Days to Expiration) are put options contracts that expire on the same trading day they are bought or sold. Used for intraday speculation or income, they have low premiums, high leverage, and rapid theta decay (value loss). They are commonly used to bet on a swift market drop or to generate income by selling premium on indices like SPX or ETFs like SPY”
YMMV

Looks like Trumps speech tonight is just an operational update on the war.
