I guess it's the most Shia thing they could've done. Almost every political-spiritual Shia leadership role has resulted in some kind of dynastic rule in the end from the start of the Shia Imamate after the death of the Prophet, to the Fatimid caliphate, to the Zaydi Imamate, to the Aga Khani Ismaili dynasty, and now it's only logical that it continues 1400 years later.
Brent Oil futures have officially touched $110. The world economy is actually cooked lmao. Take the bus folks
Mojtaba Khamenei is officially the new Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic. Everyone in the Shia World is quickly coalescing around him, but it's an uninspired choice imo. I don't think that transitioning the system in Iran towards a hereditary monarchy is the correct path forward, especially for someone without a strong public profile and that lacks the necessary Islamic credentials. I would be more comfortable with Sadiq Larijani or Alireza Arafi. He's "just" 56 years old though, that's a choice that will last for years unless the Epstein Coalition kill him. I hope he can serve the people of Iran and the Shia masses well.
The UAE has apparently bombed the water desalination plant in Qeshm Island, Iran. Extremely stupid decision if true, Iran can wipe out Emirati desalination in hours.
Pezeshkian is such an embarrassment, it's actually a tragedy that this clown is leading Iran during this period. Everything that has happened since the Islamic Revolution was leading to this existential war, and somehow this buffoon is in the driving seat.
Not at all, they're loyal capitalist piggies that will trust Saudi and Emirati media that tells them that the attack on Beirut is Hezbollah's fault for poking Israel.
This attack is making all my Lebanese group chats go crazy, it's looking like a historical victory for Hezbollah. There's an insane amount of chatter about the Hannibal Doctrine and from what I understand it seems like Hezbollah have successfully established a wide security net around this area in Bekaa where Israelis are completely unable to extract nor supply their besieged commandos. Praying for my Hezb boys and may we see some Israeli hostages, that would completely change the calculations in Lebanon.
Lebanese people are sadly propagandised to death. I'd say that 90% of Lebanese people right now are against Hezbollah's intervention. Lebanon is essentially two countries. One country is Dahiye, the South and Bekaa, the second country is the rest of the country where Sunni and Christian Lebanese people live. First Lebanon is allowed to get killed and bombed back into the stone age, as long as 2nd Lebanon can feel smug and say we told you so. 2nd Lebanon doesn't count Shia Lebanese as Lebanese, Gulf and American propaganda taught those people that Hezbollah shouldn't annoy Israel so that nightclubs, restaurants and beach holidays can continue uninterrupted while Shia Lebanese from 1st Lebanon are displaced and are mourning their martyr sons. I'm personally from 2nd Lebanon, and that's sadly how everyone in my family thinks.
Confirmed Iranian strike on two hotels and a housing complex that houses US military personnel in Bahrain.
Where are all the Kurdish worshipping leftists now? This is what the comprador Kurdish struggle looks like. It has been an imperialist endeavor from Mulla Mustafa Barzani, to Masoud Barzani, to Rojava, to this iteration of Iranian Kurdish "liberation".
I'm genuinely shocked by Hezbollah's readiness for this war. Hezbollah recovering so well from the tragedies of September-October 2024 means either a wider Israeli invasion of Lebanon again, which I don't really think is happening if the war ends anytime soon. The other scenario which I'm convinced will actually happen is an inevitable Syrian-Hezbollah confrontation along the Bekaa-Syria line. The new zionist Syrian leadership was under an impression that Hezbollah was completely finished, but now the tension can suddenly be felt again.
On a different note, here's a rough estimate of successful drone vs missile strikes by Iran on the UAE, posted by Ali BK on the bird app.
Air defence seems completely cooked lmao
