I hope Russia has a drone or ship following the aircraft carriers around, just like the empire is always flying drones right close to Russia to chose targets for their puppets.

Iraq will be dragged in. Syria will become a battleground. Hezbollah will open a northern front against Israel. The Houthis will intensify their Red Sea operations. This will be the war the Empire has craved but feared, it will be a direct, high-intensity confrontation with a nation that has spent 45 years preparing for exactly this moment.

They're moving Syrian D'aesh prisoners to Iraq. They're going to utilize them in Iran.

What's the likelihood of Iran sinking an aircraft carrier? I really hope they sink at least one, that would be very humiliating for the US and very funny to me sicko yes

Practically 0. I don't think Iran is ever going to risk taking such action because they're trying to avoid any possible situation that paints them as acting illegally or aggressively. Striking a US vessel directly is pretty much guaranteeing a NATO invasion of their country.

Iran might not do so preemptivelly, but it would be really dumb of them not to sink it if they get attacked by the carriers, as letting them continue to function is leaving another base of the enemy standing, and they have already said they will strike the us' bases if they are attacked.

Even then I don't think they'd do it. At most they'll do retaliatory strikes on that one airbase in Qatar, and on some military infrastructure in Israel at most. They have always opted for this option because it's less escalatory then directly attacking the US.

That nuclear facility in Dimona 😉

As per usual, should any comrades like a free ‘Paid’ subscription to the spectacle then just let me know. I will hook you up.

That isn't Jordan, that's Oman. And afaik Oman is relatively neutral when it comes to the Israel and other ME countries. I am not saying the US will not attack Iran, they will most likely do, just it feels a bit of a weak analysis if you get that wrong. Or maybe I am not understanding something.

The passage is not connected to that screenshot, they are two separate but connected things

To be more specific, the image is showing the carrier group.
