They can just hold the world’s supply of oil, ammonia and helium to ransom. Breaking an Iranian blockade by force would require a WW2-scale effort, with the US, Europe, China and the gulf states fighting alongside each other to take Tehran and impose some kind of regime change all parties find acceptable.
Isnt china and Iran allies and already have agreements for discounted oil trades?
China and Russia would be fighting against the EU and US in that hypothetical wwiii scenario
I honestly don't understand how you Americans still seem to believe that anything in the Epstein files could possibly harm Trump. It was known before the 2016 election, that he was peeping in dressing rooms at Miss Teen contests. Before the 2016 election he bragged about sexually assalting women. Before the 2024 election he was convicted for sexual abuse.
And people did vote for him, not despite of that, but because of it. Because they are misogynistic assholes who adore and envy him for doing stuff like that.
He raped a 13 year old violently and there's probably video in those epstein files.
And? These allegations were also known since 2016. But that didn't stop anyone from voting for him, twice.
Did I forget anyone?
Those things aren't known by everyone. My conservative MIL didn't vote for Trump having known about those things, but my SIL did. She was shocked when I told her about it.
Americans generally aren't as well educated as many other countries of its caliber and a bit part of that manifests in media literacy and general interest in anything, really. My SIL claims she made her decision to vote for him because his campaign page was more convincing about lowering prices and Karris' I kid you not.
Yeah this is a single anecdote about a single person, but this largely has been my experience.
checking if your candidate isn't a pedophile should be the fucking bare minimum lmao
I think most of these things are why he got elected. He did the things the average american wishes he could do.
Fuck that, trade it for Trump dead or alive
or alive
No no, let's keep it simple.
Honestly I give the iranian disinformation team 1 of 5 stars, a pathetic job really.
I mean, they don't actually need to have the Epstein files, they can just start sharing stuff that seems plausible.
They are making Lego memes that are pretty fire though.
Are they though?
It would be pretty easy to eviscerate Trump.
The videos and memes I've seen are a bit vanilla. More about trying to make Iran seem righteous and wholesome than trying to embarrass Trump.
why would they want the US regime to change? It's a poor long term strategy, you want the useless idiots to ruin their country, not have them replaced by competent people.
I think they would prefer people who weren't bombing their country with Israel.

They already released most of the victims names, they can't really pretend they care about them anymore.
I've been seing stuff like this a lot lately, but it seems detached from reality to me. How does Iran benefit from the Epstein files?
Because Trump is 100% willing to start a war so people stop talking about it. So he'll have to start another war somewhere else...
The reasoning would be: You're right. They don't care. But he will never voluntarily release them and it results in maximum embarrassment.
It wouldn't be a sincere negotiating tactic but it works because they don't need to negotiate.
This. Imagine a condition for terms of surrender is to unredact and release all files. And the Trump administration openly says "no" to that?
That would be a TERRIBLE admission by the administration
The idea is that giving the ultimatum, regardless of whether the US obliges or not, would cause massive shift in power. They'd be hoping any changes in leadership would be better aligned with them.
Files released -> Traffickers imprisoned -> New sane leaders sworn in
Files withheld -> Greater discontent -> Elections swing harder left -> Dem majorities force war to end
Demanding Epstein files would be a sure shot way to get bombed.
As if they're not already?
The issue with this is that Iran wants to strait open eventually, its a huge financial gain.
