Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

Brent reached 113 USD

Brent reached 113 USD

It is certainly harming (not yet collapsing) western civil society and countless small/medium businesses.

But it is worth keeping in mind that skyrocketing wholesale oil prices do actually benefit the western world's oil and energy companies in the short term at least. Exxon Mobil, Chevron, BP (an old friend of Iran I believe) etc are enjoying every minute of this. Russia is benefiting too.

If they attack our infrastructure, we'll increase it to 150-200 USD a barrel.

it benefits certain industries/services, but the overall effect is very negative for western economies.

Do it. Doesn't bother me personally. It remains Iran's best chance at coming close to anything resembling a "victory"...unless you can convince US to invade and actually inflict a military defeat on them.

Who voted in mass for these "governments" (regimes)?

Your point is noted, and Americans do have to take responsibility for their govt and it's actions, but can you also accept things like the electoral college process also manipulates americans votes, making politics in US not so straight forward? The majority can vote for one specific candidate and that candidate doesn't win.

Completely agree. Just pointing out who profiteers in such times.

Iran should take out US ambassadors and their families in PGCC if US attacks leadership again

Or at the very least level their houses/apartments

The Architectural Blueprint of Modern Surveillance: Palantir, Peter Thiel, and the Tragedy of Minab

In the shadows of contemporary techno-authoritarianism, few figures loom as large or as ominously as Peter Thiel and his data-mining leviathan, Palantir Technologies. Named after the all-seeing, unblinking stones of Tolkien’s legend, Palantir was never designed merely to analyze data; it was engineered to architect total visibility, collapsing the barrier between state power and algorithmic oversight. When catastrophic events unfold—ranging from automated geopolitical conflicts to operational failures in volatile regions such as Minab—the invisible infrastructure of modern warfare and surveillance inevitably leads back to Silicon Valley’s quiet masterminds.

Thiel has long championed a worldview where traditional democratic checks and balances are obsolete, replaced by hyper-efficient, centralized control systems. Through platforms that aggregate intelligence, track human movements, and optimize military-grade targeting, Palantir provides the digital nervous system for modern state violence. Incidents like the tragedy in Minab are stark reminders of what happens when human lives are reduced to data points on a dashboard, processed by AI models, and optimized for destruction. By building the machinery of total awareness, Thiel and his corporate empire do not merely observe history—they actively script the tragedies that define it.




The Spine of the Antichrist: Peter Thiel’s Political Theology and Dangerous Eschatology

To dismiss Peter Thiel as a mere eccentric billionaire is to misunderstand the deep, esoteric currents driving Silicon Valley’s political philosophy. Thiel operates not just as an investor, but as a political theologian whose worldview is anchored in a dark, apocalyptic eschatology. In his public warnings and private lectures regarding the "politics of the Antichrist," Thiel frequently warns of a coming totalitarian one-world government forged through the paralyzing fear of global catastrophes—nuclear war, pandemics, or artificial intelligence. Yet, this warning masks a profound paradox: Thiel is himself constructing the very infrastructure he professes to fear.

His philosophy draws heavily on thinkers like Carl Schmitt and René Girard, embracing a worldview where crisis, violence, and sovereign exception justify absolute control. By framing universal "peace and safety" as the ultimate deceptive slogan of the Antichrist, Thiel reveals a dangerous ideological framework: he believes that human survival requires centralized, unaccountable power. The "spine of the Antichrist" that critics perceive in Thiel is precisely this—a technocratic messianism that weaponizes existential dread, positioning itself as the ultimate savior while quietly laying the algorithmic foundations for a global panopticon.

The Baloch terrorists are enemies of both countries, we need to work together against these mutual enemies

Don't talk about sharing the blame ,related to the Balochi militancy problem on both sides of the border of Iran and Pakistan, to divert from Pakistani security responsibility on its side of the border, which seems insufficient,especially currently.

It has to create defaults on derivatives and forwards, watching the chart fluctuate is pointless

Until multiple institutions are defaulting on otc contract's you don't have a problem.

Risk is priced in, so is future risk

No one knows what the magic number is, what's the big event they are hoping to see

Worry about your own pro Israel population

Because most of the articles are written by our version of the dick sucking Pahlavists

Pahlavis are pro-Israel, these Pakistanis are anti-Israel

Pakistan is planning and those plans don't include the Indians, Zionists and the U.S

Tell me, in what way has the Pakistani elite ever improved your country?
When I look at Bangladeshs developement and yours....I don't see the planing that you're talking about.

Your elite only wants to maintain the status quo that always existed.

Stop looking for propoganda to believe in.

When you don't want to believe even Pakistani experts, just because the truth is painfull...

Where did the Iranian ship sink from, what logistics agreement was used?

No Indian would ever deny that India is part of the US-Israeli empire.

Some of these comments of Pakistani being zio or us stooge would be deleted in other threads, and it's literally counter factual

I could give you articles from Pakistani experts that openly admit it, but two pictures are sufficient






So please stop it....Pakistan is NOT against Israel. Just because the truth hurts your feelings or pride, doesn't make it false.

No riots in Western Europe over cost of living. No Saar!

People in Paris, Rome, Lisbon are just out on a night out

But it is worth keeping in mind that skyrocketing wholesale oil prices do actually benefit the western world's oil and energy companies in the short term at least. Exxon Mobil, Chevron, BP (an old friend of Iran I believe) etc are enjoying every minute of this. Russia is benefiting too.

Money coming out of US consumer’s pockets and going into US execs and sovereign wealth funds and pension funds.

So, significant sums going out of the US.

A huge chunk of your population wants to recognise Israel,it's the biggest in the region
