At least the Qajars fought tooth and nail to the last bullet before capitulating. The retarded IR was always bound to end up like this.

The Qajars were lions compared to these Pally wannabe vermin. Never equate this regime to any of our great ancestors. They are hijackers at best.

They will still vote Republican next round because they think Democrats support Trans people, are socialists, and hate God.

People fundamentally misunderstand Republican voters just like they misunderstand “Israelis” that are upset with Bibi.

At the end of the day these ultra conservatives will continue to vote Republican every chance they get.

Between Democrats and the Republicans, you have the independents. It is this group that shift power between the blues and reds. It is this group that is very angry. Trump and Republicans are done in the midterms.

BREAKING: Russian officials have briefed Iran that the CIA Director Ratcliffe's Moscow visit delivered a message with the US asking Moscow to press Iran into reopening the Strait of Hormuz, warning that Russian entities would otherwise face designations under Operation Economic Outcast. Russia declined, and told Iran the threatened measures were of limited consequence, according to two senior Iranian sources with knowledge of the briefing.

The message also warned that Russian banks, traders and shipping entities tied to Iranian oil, gold and aviation will be sanctioned under the operation unless Moscow moves to close those channels.

No one seriously thinks Iran has a $2T economy. Come on now. Be serious. 40%+ of the country is in poverty and runaway inflation has been occurring for years.

If you are going to make such claims at least be objective and look at reality.

Also $100B on the militiary even in PPP terms is also absurd since Iran purchases a lot of its raw materials and missile industrial equipment and components from China and to a lesser extent Russia and some of its weapon systems (like Shaheed) use western off the shelf parts which all require hard currency not worthless rial.

Simply looking at the lack of proper domestic air defense systems, radars, manpads, proper anti naval weapon systems, and how fast they ran thru their supply of missiles and drones paints a clear picture that your $100B PPP calculation is an on paper and not in reality calculation.

If Iran truly was spending “$100B parity equivalent” on the military they wouldn’t have been firing 10-12 missiles a day at Israel and their stockpile these years would have been north of 10,000 missiles.

A nation that produced in 2025:
a) 4mln barrels of oil per day
b) 275bln cubic meters of natural gas
c) 32mln tonnes of steel
d) 75mln tonnes of cement
e) 700.000 tonnes of aluminum
f) 20mln home appliance units
g) 385bln Kwh of electricity
h) 1,3 million cars
i) 44bln liters of gasoline
j) 80mln tonnes of petrochemical products
k) 95% of required medicines and drugs
Certainly has around 2trln$ PPP economy.

This is not my estimate - this is an estimate by the IMF for 2025 and even IMF doesn't include shadow economy which adds another 35% to GDP to make it 2,5trln$ PPP.

Also all nations of the world import some raw materials and spare parts from abroad for their military industry. But Iran's defense industry is mostly self-sufficient due to sanctions and most of raw material and components are produced at home. Sure, there is some imports of chips and chemicals but this is a small part of the cost of the weapon system.

100bln Military PPP dollar spending is a decent estimate for the Iranian military.

For comparison Germany spent on defense 114bln$ just to have a shitty military with 179.000 troops, 200 tanks and 200 fighter aircrafts.

For Iran 100bnln PPP dollars is decent for having a military with 610.000 troops, 1700 obsolete tanks, 300 obsolete fighters, 7500 medium and short range ballistic missiles and 15.000 drones.

Even US with its 900bln$ budget only had around 3000 Tomohawks and 4000 JASSMS prior to this war.

Now, here is the question to everyone: If tankers full of oil are getting through the Omani side of the Strait of Hormuz like Trump and others claim, even some in this forum, then why is the Trump administration requesting other countries, especially China and Russia, to put pressure on Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz?

Why is there a need for "Operation Economic Outcast" if the US military controls the Omani side of the Strait of Hormuz and oil is getting thru?

Any takers?

Russia is already heavily sanctioned. These American shitheads are clueless, they forgot when Billiary Clinton went to China just to do the same things that Trump is trying to do today. Trump begged Xi Jinping not to sell Iran the required weapons. Xi briefed the retard that China has not done such trade with Iran for decades. Even the oil purchase from Iran is very limited.

China and Russia in the past had many things to lose so they had to consider Billiary Clinton's warnings in their final calculations.

but hey, What does Russia today have to lose? China is busy with shifting the markets. What do they have to lose after limiting trade with the US bully? Absolutely nothing, at least in case of Russia.

Trump the retarded Epstein soldier is banging his head against the wall non-stop.

He had to talk to Billiary before begging Xi.

USA is a total joke at this moment. Beggars of the world
 
Operation Economic Outcast LMAO. These words are too big for Bessent's filthy mouth
