Caravaggio The raising of Lazarus 1609 • Trump Ready To Raise “Core of China’s Core Interests” In Xi Summit (ZH) • Iran Specifies 5 Demands To Restart
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle May 13 2026]This is a repeat post from back in covid era. They are not bio labs. They are bio farms. You need that many because you are using random evolution to do the job. That takes large numbers of animals. If you colocated them people would notice and you would loose critical firewalls. The job? This setup can only do one job. Bring the future of disease into the present. Without having any knowledge of how any of that works. The claimed outcome is that this will allow us to get ahead of any disease mutation. The only way to get ahead of disease mutation is to slow that mutation down. Not speed it up. The only reason to speed up that mutation is to get disease ahead of us. The only reason to do that is to kill and control as many of us as possible. The only reason.
A new West Asia order is in the horizon

Let’s start with a false flag.
Iran attacked the UAE port of Fujairah – its oil export Holy Grail – with more than a dozen ballistic and cruise missiles.
No, it didn’t. The IRGC vehemently denied it. UAE media – a ultra-censored bunch – started spinning that the attack came from Saudi Arabia.
Fog of war. Nobody can reveal where the false flag really came from. Quite easy to do the math on who would profit from it.
Then Saudi Arabia and Kuwait cut American access to their airbases (now restored) – quite angry because the Pentagon totally downplayed the attack on Fujairah (echoes of false flag, all over again).
So for the clownish U.S. Secretary of Forever Wars, missiles over Fujairah did not qualify as breaking the – fragile – ceasefire.
Barbaria was furious with Riyadh’s counterpunch. The result was that much-lauded “humanitarian” Operation Freedom, Liberty or whatever – to “unblock” the Strait of Hormuz – duly vanished in less than 48 hours.
The official reason was “great progress in negotiations.” There’s less than zero progress. And the real reason was not exactly operational impasse caused by Riyadh blocking its airspace. It was a stunning firepower demo by Iran which left the Pentagon literally speechless. Nothing officially confirmed, of course. Fog of war.
Immediately afterwards the Americans attacked Iranian tanker Hasna close to the Strait of Hormuz, disabling its rudder with a Super Hornet’s cannon.
The Iranian response was harsh: a combo of anti-ship ballistic and cruise missiles, kamikaze drones with high-explosive warheads, and fast attack boats. The victims were three U.S. destroyers – Truxtun, Mason, Rafael Peralta – attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz from the Gulf of Oman.
The destroyers literally ran away begging for their lives. The IRGC Navy’s op was so hardcore they had to deploy their last-resort defense systems, such as CIWS guns.
Ebrahim Zolfaghari, the inimitable spokesperson of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central HQ, came up with the details:
“An American warship attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz was destroyed by the IRGC Navy. Two other warships that came to its aid were met with heavy fire and forced to flee.”
NASA FIRMS satellite data then showed a large fire previously detected in the Strait of Hormuz Musandam province drifting from its original position, suggesting a ship burning and drifting with the current. Also a second large fire was detected 30km west of the small island of Larak.
These fires happen to be in the exact same area where the destroyers were forced to fire their CIWS terminal defense systems, five-inch naval guns, and .50-caliber machine guns against a volley of IRGC missiles launched from the Bandar Abbas coastline.
The American counter-response, in impotent anger, was strikes on several points in Qeshm island. That won’t change anything.
In a nutshell, in less than 48 hours Iran and Barbaria switched from “great progress” towards coming up with a dodgy, one-page Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), actually redacted by Zionist mutts, to no holds barred war.
So welcome to a “ceasefire” in effect for a full month, since April 8, now metastasized into the odd firefight (there will be more), while both Barbaria and Iran say “move on, nothing to see here.”
You are allowed to escort nothing
The undisputable key conclusion of all this frantic action is that the U.S. Navy cannot escort even a seagull, not to mention tankers across the Strait of Hormuz.
And that will be the case, non-stop, from now on.
The IRGC Navy has proved that it may deploy everything from low-intensity harassment fire to hardcore escalation tactics unforeseen by incapable Pentagon mutts.
That will prove effective even if they are just employing low-tier anti-ship assets. They don’t even need to sink a U.S. military vessel. Just to instill panic.
It’s obvious that no tanker or cargo owners and insurance companies will be willing to be “escorted” by the mightiest Navy in the History of the Galaxy in conditions of being under fire.
Ergo, the Strait of Hormuz remains fully controlled by Iran – and passage has to be negotiated with a brand new body, the Persian Gulf Strait Authority. There is less than zero military way to “open it” – apart from a suicidal ground invasion and subsequent permanent occupation.
Meanwhile, the UAE – with their elaborate plans of escaping Opec and Opec+ to export oil like there’s no tomorrow from Fujairah – better get their act together.
Ali Khedryan, a member of the National Security Committee in the Iranian Parliament, laid down the law: “The Islamic Republic no longer views the UAE as a neighbor, but as an enemy base.”
Tehran has spent a lot of time studying evidence that UAE fighter jets removed their flags and launched direct attacks on Iranian soil. This means that Tehran may conduct devastating attacks on the UAE at any moment it sees fit. No false flag: the real deal.
The whole planet pays the price for American Dementia
All of the above might suggest a certified Highway to Hell ahead. And to consider that the Baboon of Barbaria, if he had the will, could really try to work seriously on the off-ramp he needs so bad.
First step would be to demote Twedledee and Twedledum, Dumb and Dumber Witkoff-Kushner as negotiators: the Iranians have already refused to talk to these clowns.
On the nuclear dossier, the Americans could settle for a perfectly viable 5-year moratorium on uranium enrichment; then enrichment up to 3.6%; dilution of the existing stockpile, which would remain in Iran; the return of IAEA inspectors (the Iranians had already agreed, before the war); and no dodgy sunset clauses.
Every grain of sand in the Ancient Silk Roads across Persia is aware that the U.S. “intel community” – OK, that may be a contradiction in terms – knew that Iran was not developing a nuclear weapon.
They – and especially analysts and traders across the Gulf – also knew that Iran would inevitably target the U.S. Empire of Bases and shut down the Strait of Hormuz in case of war.
Sanctions will remain a major sticking point. Both Baboon of Barbaria and Capitol Hill will never agree to fully lifting sanctions, especially as a precondition towards a final deal, and on top of it with guarantees from the UN Security Council.
The Americans stick to “phased” removal of sanctions. Tehran doesn’t buy it; they saw what happened after the JCPOA.
On payment of reparations, the same thing: the U.S. will never agree. Enter the tollbooth in the Strait of Hormuz, which may work as a replacement for reparations.
The Pentagon would have to be confronted by reality and admit that the Empire of Bases in the Gulf is useless, and much worse: a strategic liability. Most bases are destroyed anyway.
Then there’s the Strait of Hormuz – and how to get it back to what it was before the start of the war.
From Tehran’s point of view, this nostalgic ride will never happen. A stratospheric miracle would be a global deal with the backing of Russia-China – with carefully negotiated security guarantees for both Iran and the Persian Gulf petromonarchies.
Don’t count on it.
Once again: Iran – even under new Khamenei management – does not want to possess a nuclear weapon, and remains a full member of the NPT. They don’t need a nuclear weapon. They have plenty of state of the art strategic dissuasion mechanisms.
It’s impossible for the Empire of Chaos, Lies, Plunder and Piracy to negotiate in good faith. Exceptionalism by definition implies ultimatum + capitulation, in every case. So realistically the road ahead will be long, winding, tortuous, extremely dangerous, yet to a near certainty leading to an American strategic defeat – with unforeseen global consequences.
Facts: the war is not about to end. Iran’s control of the Strait of Hormuz is a done deal. Iran – backed by Russia and China – will not allow the Empire of Bases to be reconstituted in the Persian Gulf. Iran’s new status is already that of a regional superpower – and a Eurasia big power. A new West Asia order is in the horizon.
The tragedy is that virtually the whole planet will pay an extremely hefty price for this latest American Dementia. As the physical infrastructure of the global economy is being destroyed in real time, little consolation is offered by three inexorable facts: the petrodollar is doomed; that artificial bling bling concoction, the UAE is doomed; and U.S. hegemony is doomed.

Ways of war’ are in metamorphosis: Lessons from the Iran war
A U.S. carrier no longer induces fear as once it might have; It now radiates vulnerability.Junte-se a nós no Telegram , Twitter e VK.
Escreva para nós: info@strategic-culture.su
Although the Iran war largely has been viewed through the lens of conventional western warfare, its lessons are anything but conventional. They are in fact insurrectionary.
The post-war western approach (especially in the Cold War context) relied on the ability to outspend any military adversary through the acquisition of high-end, over-engineered and costly manned aircraft and munitions. Dominance of airspace and heavy reliance on aerial bombardment, i.e. air-war, was the doctrinal end.
The expenditure overmatch (as well as an imputed technical innovation) was viewed as the crucial element in the confrontation with the USSR.
Similarly, the impulse in naval warfare was toward investment in ever bigger carriers and their associated tiers of naval support vessels.
In ground warfare, the weighting in the Iraq War’s ‘Desert Storm’ was on tanks ‘punching’ and thrusting through the adversaries’ defence lines – though this approach was dropped by the West in Ukraine following the turn to 21st century drone-led ‘trench warfare’ on the front line.
The high-end outspend-approach both favoured the U.S.’ Military Industrial Complex, and together with U.S. dollar hegemony, provided America with the unique advantage of allowing the U.S. effectively to ‘print’ those high-end overmatch supplementary expenses.
Then came the Iran war of 2026, whose asymmetric model upended conventional doctrines.
Instead of dominance of the air space, Iran pursued not aerial supremacy, but rather advanced missile dominance of air space.
Instead of surface-situated military infrastructure, missile armouries, launch facilities and much missile production were dispersed across Iran’s huge geographic areas and buried deep within underground missile cities and mountain ranges.
The key transformation to the asymmetric approach, however, was the advent of easily available cheap tech components. Whilst the West was spending millions of dollars for each interceptor, Iran and allies were spending hundreds.
The advantage of dollar hegemony has thus slipped away and turned instead to liability – the inflated cost of U.S. munitions and their high-end engineering has resulted in sclerotic supply-lines, long production cycles and minimal weapon inventories.
The supposed tech superiority of U.S. weapons is being surpassed too, by ‘garage’ and ‘workshop’ gigs using cheap tech components. They generate innovation which is then picked-up and scaled after informal testing by ‘military authorities’.
This trend is particularly evident in the Russian army, where initial ‘garage’ tech has been trialled and then implemented across the military structures. This applies to both tech hardware and to internet AI innovation.
In the same vein, Hezbollah’s innovation of its fibre-optic controlled drones has transformed the war in south Lebanon – imposing severe losses on Israeli tanks and troops, to the point to which the IDF may be compelled to withdraw from the south.
Likewise, asymmetry and innovation in the seaways are upending the traditional western reliance on large heavy naval vessels and carriers. The latter have become ‘white elephants’ of the Persian Gulf ‘war’ as they are driven so far off from Iranian coastline by drone swarms and threats of anti-ship missiles that their deck-based strike-aircraft are limited in their attack capabilities by the requirement to re-fuel from tankers over target.
To see a literal ‘swarm’ of many tens of armed fast speedboats approaching a lumbering conventional naval vessel only serves to underline their vulnerabilities. In any event, Iran has other anti-ship weapons at its disposal.
In short, a U.S. carrier no longer induces fear as once it might have; It now radiates vulnerability.
Iran’s new sea warfare, however, also includes loitering high-speed submersible drones (or torpedoes) that can loiter for up to four days and which are equipped with AI targeting capabilities. These drones can be launched from underwater tunnels running beneath the Hormuz surface.
Iranian innovation admittedly has been long-planned and developed. Its’ effectiveness has been demonstrated during the conflict with Israel and the U.S. Iran has withstood the Israeli and American carpet-bombing (albeit whilst incurring heavy damage and casualties), yet Iran continues to have control of the Strait, plentiful missile inventories, and destroyed,unusable U.S. military bases in the Gulf.
That is the Iran war experience. But the wider strategic point is that it has demonstrated that the western ‘way of war’ has been eclipsed by cheap innovative tech and careful asymmetrical planning.
The western model can provide devastating damage – of that there is no doubt – but its lack of surgical application is also counter-productive in an age of mass media and smartphone photography that testify to civilian death, destruction and suffering.
The second point is that the West remains a cumbersome giant that has failed to understand – let alone anticipate – the new asymmetric war. Innovation has been stymied by the consolidation of the Military Industrial Complex into a few bureaucratic monopolies.
The western way of war is a bust model when ranged against a sophisticated asymmetric opponent.
But others have indeed noticed the lessons from the Iran war. Russia is one; China is another. There will be more. The West can expect to see the lessons surface in different garbs in the West’s other wars.
The European élites may find that their facilitation of Ukrainian drone attacks deep into Russia may draw a different (kinetic) response in the near future. The warnings have been issued. Will they be heard?
“Millions Of Student Borrowers Are Defaulting: They Are 40 Years Old On Average
Sign of how good the economy is. And how long. To me, in general, the Economy has been in Recession and contracting since 1999. Hot money is goosing areas, but that’s just misallocation of capital to the top.
Probably it’s been crap since Stagflation, depending how to count it, since 1974, 1979. It’s just that with each application of “bailouts” lead to greater misallocations of capital, particularly to financial, casino economy and players, so at each cycle there is less real, healthy economy to work with underneath. This is extremely well known, but it’s not always the reality fits the theory perfectly over your life. Right now there is almost no real, organic economy and even attempts at creating one cause just ingrained habits of financialization.

“Iran Specifies 5 Demands To Restart Peace Talks With USEXACT playbook of Ukraine which worked so well killing 2M people, erasing Ukraine from the earth, with no Ukrainians remaining. That is: Russia has to surrender everything, including Crimea, and pay reparations before we talk. IOW, “Surrender”. The Winner surrenders, the loser dictates. How can that be?
Great question: ONE time you can say a few nutters are in Ukraine, no one’s ever been this insane before. Nazis gonna Nazi. But Iran is doing the very same thing, KNOWING it didn’t work for a single minute, and never will, AND killed 2M of their ethnos, their people? No. That’s not a plausible theory. And Johnson, ie. “London” is clearly right behind both of them.
“The demands hinge on war reparations, Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz and an end to US sanctions”
Money, Money, and Money. That is, LONDON IS BROKE. They will collapse at last, thank God, if they don’t get a refill, and an ENORMOUS one. The size of Ukraine or Russia…or Iran. Why would he Winner pay reparations to the loser? Why would Iran have sovereignty and pay tolls from the world when there are two sides to the strait? Okay then: Canada has to pay us for everything in the St Lawrence and Seattle seaways, we own them now. China owns “The China Sea” and Japan and Taiwan now have to pay because China is on one side of the water but not the other. See the problem? Uhhh, no. No one has ever done that before, and certainly not the losing nation who has no Navy. How would that work? “I can see Russia from my house” (Palin said) therefore Russia has to pay me tolls to use the Pacific Ocean.
So like Ze, who is mass murdering his people, this is the Maximalist deal, where Iran won’t sit down at the table without an UNCONDITIONAL surrender of the WORLD’S strongest (projection) Military. And we…and the whole world…are their bitch forever. From which they can only get STRONGER, and even LESS well behaved, clearly.
And you thought the U.S. was bad. We look like Pollyanna in comparison, and the world can decide between us. China already has.
So London has somehow arranged a fresh new evil on the world: To win any military job now, you have to genocide the people? Every last one? Like, they will never concede as the winner or loser until not a single – Insert Ethnos – is dead? Seems like. And they do that knowing, betting, that the U.S. won’t go there.
I guess they’re trying to gin up a land invasion there again, despite that we have no military objectives that would require that, nor any men to do it? It’s in the news, Fox, etc. They, London, need a forever war that pins us down and bleeds us or London dies. Awww.

Is landing a military-age force in, say an Irish sea town, like Cromwell, then doing nothing while said military-age occupants rape the natives with complete impunity for years a war crime? Yes, I believe it is, actually. And it’s meant as an action of control and submission, emotional conquest, to utterly break the people’s will for no other reason except that you can do it. And so it is.

“Saudi Arabia Secretly Launched Attacks On Iran At Height Of Epic Fury
So this is an American war, or a pan Middle East war everyone was in on? If they’re in on it, HOW MUCH are they in on? We’ve known S.A. and Iran were being enemies almost since the beginning, 1979. That’s why it was a revelation they were talking and taking serious actions for peace starting some years ago (first in the Abraham Accords). It appears Iran were punking and screwing their Gulf neighbors and Saudi Kings take that personally. Howso? I mean, besides clearly outmatching them militarily, so that they would dominate (and essentially conquer) the combined rest, we see that they are claiming BOTH SIDES of the Strait. In a big way. I understand mining Omani waters, shooting back, etc. That’s not good but it’s reasonable. But right now their top item is to own both sides of the Straits FOREVER. That is, to conquer Oman and have them submit, cease to be a nation, with UAE alongside. They will also therefore have conquered Kuwait and possibly Iraq.
And you think they can sit by and let them? I thought borders were sacred and we can’t just cross and change them, that’s why U.S. bombing there is bad. But when Iran takes the entire Omani coast up to the first seaside road it’s okay? They imprison the whole world’s ships is fine?

“• Trump Ready To Raise “Core of China’s Core Interests” In Xi Summit (ZH)
We are doing China’s bidding as well. How? Well it’s a negotiation, what does China really need, most of all? Secure oil in larger volume, without chokes and interruptions. Sold. So we are removing the “Chaos premium” and chokeholds, while eg, doubling Venezuela’s flow and output. China doesn’t have to get involved, just write checks. This will be the case in Iran as well, which is why China has not only abandoned Iran but has summoned the Foreign Minister and ordered them to knock it off. They aren’t.
Now, what’s the U.S. side? No we’re not doing it for free. Leave South America, take Africa, Idgaf. We are doing business to get you your supplies. However, you pay retail. Yes we can cut you off to keep you honest but the alternative is war everywhere. China is not set up to be a projection army, and can’t protect their interests worldwide, but we are not set up to be an invasion army either. It’s cheaper to stay in China or Asia, fix your problems and get rich. This is a fine deal since the only reason TO go around the world for copper, etc was to GET the reliable supplies. And it’s a lot of work, stress, bother, etc. This is from Japan doing the same in the 30s and look what happened. It causes problems. We have held up our end in Ven and Iran perfectly, Chinese oil ships are wide open. And Xi is very busy rooting out that Globalist Coup at home right now. From Europe.

We have been since 1900 or 1940, so that’s no change. Yes we get some vig for doing it, unless you want to float your own damn Navy, you’ll find out what a bargain we are.

“[AOCs] greatest work of fiction may be her insistence that the Framers fought against billionaires and would have joined her and other socialists in seeking to eradicate them today. “
Sort of, they did fight billionaires. However, AOC’s own narrative and that of her party for 20 years is that every founder was a Rich White Guy who should be shot, and owned slaves. So quite a reversal here. Pick one. Don’t just make everything up on the spot. In fact they were billionaires (Franklin certainly was) and slave owners (many? most? Were?) but they were fighting other, larger billionaires around them over Property Rights. This is always the case as a “Rebellion” involves only the people, like Shay’s Rebellion or the Irish Rebellion of 1798. They always fail; Sad but true. A “Revolution” is when different oligarchs fight over the pie, but also involve the people. One side wins and one loses. They are “Successful” as when there are two sides, one or the other MUST prevail. (The French Revolution broke the mold on this as they unleashed what were essentially the forces of Communism and EVERYBODY lost.)
Of course this is beyond the point: AOC is Dumb AF and has little or no traffic with the Truth at any time. But I mean, she’s a Socialist, so of course. That’s not a slur, she’s literally a card DSA member which is why she wants unlimited immigration that destroys every worker.

“Make America Same Ol’, Same Ol'”
Excerpts from the article:
Bit on Trump:These days the president prefers to bathe in the sweet and soggy praise of those who were against him when he first ran for office: Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro and Lindsey Graham. As strange as it is to say, Trump has become a Never-Trumper.
More troubling:

Iran strategic-culture.su 90% of this is pure dreg, it’s hard to read, and in addition, the dreg is used as a system of blinds to obscure what they’re saying. That is clearly not the strong position. I understand they’re emotional and upset and feel in the mood to hurl insults — most Americans are too – but it’s uniquely unhelpful. Dummies like me do so because I’m in the stands. If I were a NYT reporter or diplomat, I would have to take up the sorrows of my job and behave professionally. strategic-culture.su is both, in a way, and does neither.
Okay, So they claim the attack on UAE is a false flag, fine, perfectly reasonable, then give no details, no evidence and also no suspect. Saudi? I THINK? If you’re sure, then it’s easy to say WHY you are sure, and sell us all on the case, and the event, the clues and reason, and point at the true culprit. He does not. How am I not even sure who he’s accusing? For the love of Christ. Would Perry Mason have this problem? If my client didn’t do it, then point at who did.
His evidence depends heavily on “But IRGC denied it.” Oh. My. God. And Hillary denied it, and Clinton, and Bush, and my 3-year old. All denied it. Might as well not even add the sentence, it means nothing to any normal person, anywhere on earth. “Fog of War” he defends. Twice. So you’re saying you have no idea what’s going on and can’t prove it, because “Fog of War”. Fine, but then don’t make enormous accusations then, if you don’t know and no one else can know either.

“Nothing officially confirmed, of course.” So he knows these facts because he has no evidence whatsoever. Thanks.“Immediately afterwards” This is often used, “Concurrent is not Consequent,” That is, I got sick AFTER the Met Gala Ball. However, the Met Gala Ball did not CAUSE my sickness. We are out shooting ships before, during and after this event. The two are not related at all unless you can attach them somehow, but “Fog of War” you admit you know nothing, at all, at any time. Xi also ate Kung Pao chicken “After” this, and is also not related.
“The Iranian response was harsh: a combo of anti-ship ballistic and cruise missiles, kamikaze drones with high-explosive warheads, and fast attack boats. The victims were three U.S. destroyers – Truxtun, Mason, Rafael Peralta – attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz from the Gulf of Oman.”
Triumphalism. Okay you used “Your weapons”, great, noted. The “Victims” were…the U.S. wow, revelation. Not Bolivia? Victim is used here to mean, Iran sunk all three, who are no more. “Victim” does not generally mean “We shot randomly over all wall in your general direction”. Suddenly, Lo! A miracle happened! He has nothing but very specific facts! Everywhere! He knows the names of the ships, the names of the weapons, the type, the intent and …. the name of the Oceans? WTF? Yes, they are in “The Gulf of Oman, they’re not in the Irish Sea, you fool. And they were heading INLAND? Uh, yes, they’re not in Kuwait trying to get OUT, thanks for all those words and details, super. Really cleared that up. This is the dog that didn’t bark. Now we know you can and WANT to use facts, it’s not a literary style, you CHOOSE not to use facts in the other paragraphs, knowing it’s important, in order to lie about things.
“The destroyers literally ran away begging for their lives. The IRGC Navy’s op was so hardcore they had to deploy their last-resort defense systems, such as CIWS guns.”
The Ships “Had a Sad” on their “Internal Emotional State” by which he presents no evidence. Which is lucky, because when you see a ship cry, big pewter tears roll off the front, which isn’t a pretty sight. He knows this because…suddenly no details again. And the Navy ships used – get this – Navy defense guns designed exactly for this sort of thing to defend themselves. This is a radical and pivotal event, he says to use the defensive weapons to defend on a warship.
““An American warship attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz was destroyed by the IRGC Navy. Two other warships that came to its aid were met with heavy fire and forced to flee.”
That is a BIG ask. You’re saying you sunk a whole ship, and no one knows. At all. Anywhere in the worldwide, British-owned hate-America media. Uhhh…hmmm. Was it a SEALs Rubber raft? Even a PT boat? Because you’re saying you sunk a destroyer here, but suddenly can’t figure out its name, while a second ago you had every detail. All details about nothing. No details about critical somethings.
“NASA FIRMS satellite data then showed a large fire” A ship is on fire somewhere in the Gulf. Okay, that’s plausible, but you have forgotten every detail again. Like, “their CIWS terminal defense systems, five-inch naval guns, and .50-caliber machine guns”. That is, we were shooting at their fast boats, YOU SAID. But we hit not one of them because not one of them is on fire instead? Which would explain? He’s saying “There is fire in the area of a recent battle.” No s—t really? But only American ships are flammable, and only DESTROYER ships.
“The American counter-response, in impotent anger, was strikes on several points in Qeshm island. That won’t change anything.”
America has more Sads. It’s good he’s fighting our internal emotional state ‘cause they sure aren’t winning on the ocean. What was the name of the major U.S. destroyer they said they sunk? On what day? And not a ripple in our media nor any media on earth? Wouldn’t you know its name by process of elimination at least?
“in less than 48 hours Iran and Barbaria switched from “great progress” towards coming up with a dodgy, one-page Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), actually redacted by Zionist mutts, to no holds barred war.”
He JUST SAID there is no ceasefire before. But now there was and it ended. Also, the MoU is a nothing, to be ignored, but also an everything! A major treaty on the brink of being signed, now discarded! Oh no! …Then we have a “No holds barred war” where Iran has STOPPED shooting at us. — HE says. He says they sank a destroyer, had us completely on the run, then…just let us get away and stopped shooting out of the goodness of their hearts.
WE, as part of “No holds barred war” then SHOT NOTHING. No B52s, no missiles, no Tomahawks, no F35s, no nukes appeared. In fact, by definition, we MUST use nukes in a “No holds barred” otherwise we’re Barring Holds, that is, restraining ourselves. Huh. So weird. So I guess out of the goodness of OUR hearts as well, we called “Total War!!!!” then ALSO shot nothing and nobody, keeping the whole thing at the same simmer as 4 weeks ago.
That’s what “Total War” means, right? No one shoots much?
“So welcome to a “ceasefire” in effect for a full month, since April 8,”
April 8? Am I crazy? Now you’re just making stuff up. That’s the day of the war. MAY 8 maybe.
Several paragraphs of pejorative insults here saying “Iran can shoot good n’ do other stuff gooder too.” Thanks.
“Ergo, the Strait of Hormuz remains fully controlled by Iran – and passage has to be negotiated with a brand new body, the Persian Gulf Strait Authority.”
Two problems here: One, it’s not Controlled in the slightest, YOU can’t get out. “Control” means both halves. You have one half, we have the other. Two, You can’t negotiate with Iran for passage because Iran JUST charged a toll and shot the ship anyway. Twice it seems. So much for that. So again YOU have arranged no one can get out, so you do not control the Strait, and are shooting anyone regardless of who they are.
“There is less than zero military way to “open it”
Wow, that IS news, because you just proved a negative. You know all things in the universe and have already decided the other side has no weapons or strategy. After not realizing the US would lock you in only last week, the most obvious strategy in the history of strategies. Also, we sent the destroyers in to see if you had any ammunition left. Because that’s running out and we need you to use it up.
““The Islamic Republic no longer views the UAE as a neighbor, but as an enemy base.”
Iran has now declared war on everyone, it seems. For real, and permanently. Great, nice going.
“All of the above might suggest a certified Highway to Hell ahead.”
Only for you, not only can I not see it from my house, I can drive to the Outer Banks and not see any trouble. While if you live on the Iranian shore, not so much. So I’m not in any pain, really. Certainly less than 2020 or under Biden.
“Strait of Hormuz – and how to get it back to what it was before the start of the war.
From Tehran’s point of view, this nostalgic ride will never happen.Again, they are declaring war on UAE, Oman, and probably Saudi, completely. Iran is saying here they will essentially and totally conquer them, and therefore they should sit still and not like, Shoot back at Iran or nothin’, get serious. This is how you know Iran is the good guy, the minute war breaks out, they expand and conquer everything around them, like Germany in ‘39. Therefore the planet will, and should just let them. And give them nukes. Ah. I see.
“Iran – even under new Khamenei management – does not want to possess a nuclear weapon,”
Your fury in retaining not Uranium, but VERY highly enriched uranium, says otherwise. If it’s of no use, as you claim, then you don’t need it, do you? Pretty odd. If it’s not a bomb, it can’t defend you then, can it? Hmmm.
“Iran’s control of the Strait of Hormuz is a done deal. Iran – backed by Russia and China – will not allow the Empire of Bases to be reconstituted in the Persian Gulf.”
You do not control it at all, as above. You are not backed by Russia OR China – clearly — or they would be helping you. And we still have many, many bases everywhere in the Middle East, much to my disapproval. YOU JUST SAID the bases in Saudi, UAE, Oman were all us. We can swim over to fight you then, and those bases are totally waiting. So you’re not attacking them – even though you just declared war – out of the goodness of your hearts, and not the lack of ammunition and ability. That’s why you declare war on someone: to NOT attack them. Tricky-tricky.
“the petrodollar is doomed; that artificial bling bling concoction, the UAE is doomed; and U.S. hegemony is doomed.”
The Petrodollar is doing great thanks, better than ever, no effect at all. The Iranian Rial, not so much. You are declaring war on UAE again, interesting. I think this is because they sold out your banking, and that is, because it pissed off LONDON, and not you. So now thanks to you, UAE, Oman, and Saudi CAN’T stop fighting, even if they hate it and don’t want to. They can’t kick us out of the bases or you’ll invade, you just said. Btw, not a peep about Israel anywhere. I have no idea what you mean by US Hegemony, abstraction words, but if you mean, “The US Empire is ending” then Yay! All Americans approve! We JUST SAID we are removing to the Western Hemisphere, long before you showed up. So thanks for agreeing that we’re winning and getting everything we want. If you’re saying we’re not powerful, well, we ran out of targets in your country in just 20 days, so facts may say otherwise.
These guys are clueless, revealing all within their own minds and strategies, blundering AF about intent of declaring war, thus making more enemies they don’t need to have, proving they have no ammunition left, then claiming to have sunk a flagship, which if it isn’t true, will make them look more like lying, spanked-monkey idiots than already a present.
I’m glad they have ammunition left to harass three ships – embarrassing if they didn’t – but that proves nothing. In the other article they wax about “5GW” and how they make it from “Cheap components”. Great! But you need to IMPORT those components, in huge quantity, using “money”. Then assemble them somewhere. Small components make small, useless “bangs”, while big components are visible, like the Chinese ship of rocket fuel we boarded. So every day you will have less ammunition, on and on forever. They already have no swarms at all, but a mere 6 suicide ships. Which is my only point.
Yes, you can remain Somali tribesmen and harass ocean ships nearby. Is that all you want to be? Because then you’re not “Controlling the Straits”. As you’ve declared war on literally everyone, eventually UAE is going to land and occupy YOU, on the Iranian side, to stop this s—t. You’ve just declared they have no other choice, fools.
IF, Russia and China trusted you AND were trying to take over the world, they’d arm you hard, and let Iran run EVERYTHING out to Egypt, and Djibouti too, why not? Take the Red Sea as well. Why aren’t they? You’re having no backing to even take 10 miles into Oman. Really? While making Oman consider it a life and death struggle should you win?
Levels of idiotic heretofore unseen. I’d shoot whoever wrote this as a traitor. It may indeed be their plan, and probably is, but it does more damage to Iran than anything the White House can say.

EIR will hold an Emergency Roundtable Dialogue on May 15, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. ET.“The Iran War and the ‘Controlled Disintegration’ of the World Economy”
It is now two and a half months since the Feb. 28 closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a predictable—some would argue intended—result of the unprovoked U.S.-Israeli war of aggression against Iran. If this war continues for another few months, it is likely that the world economy will enter into a spiral of collapse leading into a full-scale global depression, including skyrocketing poverty, hunger, industrial collapse, and population dislocation and forced migration—as well as a guaranteed hyperinflationary blowout of the entire $2.4 quadrillion global financial bubble.
It will make the Great Depression of the 1930s pale in comparison. The closest parallel will be with the New Dark Age of the 14th century, with its notorious Black Death that wiped out up to half of the population of Europe.
This is because of the massive dislocation of the physical means of survival of billions of people that is well underway, triggered by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of world oil exports and 30% of the world supply of fertilizer formerly transited. This is already having devastating, non-linear effects:
• World Food Program Deputy Executive Director Carl Skau reported that “an extra 45 million people are projected to be pushed into acute hunger because of rises in food, oil and shipping costs, putting the global tally above its current record level of 319 million…. This would take global hunger levels to an all-time record and it’s a terrible, terrible prospect,” he said.
• Many impoverished nations in east Africa depend on imports of fertilizer for more than 85% of usage. It is estimated that a 10% reduction in fertilizer application will result in up to 25% less rice, corn and wheat there, with devastating human consequences.
• U.S. diesel prices—which is the lifeblood of American farming activity—have soared by more than 50% since the war began, with ripple effects throughout the economy.
• The German industrial economy is in free fall, as a result of the combined effect of the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline and now the shortages of gasoline, and especially jet fuel, as a result of the Iran war.
We emphasize physical economy because Man’s productive activity is actually a living process, as the renowned American physical economist Lyndon LaRouche proved scientifically. If one significant area of that process is destroyed, the entirety will tend to collapse in a nonlinear fashion. This is what some observers refer to, simplistically, as a “supply chain” effect.
The real financial cost of the war is also staggering—probably upwards of $4 trillion, according to EIR’s estimates. The Pentagon’s acting comptroller told Congress on April 29 that Operation Epic Fury had cost about $25 billion, but this covered only U.S. munitions and operations through Day 60, with damage to overseas bases explicitly excluded. When that is added in, along with Israeli military expenditures, the total rises to some $200 billion. There is also in the range of $1 trillion in physical damage across Iran and the Gulf states. The IMF’s April Regional Economic Outlook further estimates that as much as 2% of global GDP will also be wiped out by the war—implying $1.5-$2 trillion in lost global output for 2026 alone.
So, $4 trillion is probably on the low side of the real monetary cost of the war to date.
How many productive jobs could be provided if those funds were invested in infrastructure, agriculture and industry? How many bridges, ports and high-speed rail lines could be built? How many lives could be saved by increased investment in hospitals, schools, and essential pharmaceuticals?
Over a longer time period: The war kills hundreds of thousands directly and through cascading food and energy shocks; pushes hundreds of millions into hunger over the next two to three years; and—through the destruction of productive capital and the diversion of $4 trillion from development to destruction and the rebuilding of what once was—could reduce the planet’s mid-century potential population by something on the order of a half-billion to a billion. The war’s most consequential casualties may be people who, had it never been started, would have been born into a more productive global economy and were not.
All of this is clearly unnecessary—but is it also an intentional policy of Malthusian depopulation being implemented by the international financial establishment centered in the City of London and Wall Street? In the mid-1970s, the New York Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)—to this day the premier U.S. Establishment’s foreign policy think-tank and sister organization of Britain’s Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA/Chatham House)—published a voluminous study, Project 1980s, which explicitly called for the “controlled disintegration” of the world economy as a means of maintaining their slipping political control. In November 1978, then Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker delivered a speech in England pronouncing that “a controlled disintegration in the world economy is a legitimate object for the 1980s”—and Volcker then proceeded to raise U.S. interest rates to the deadly level of 21.5% in December 1980.
The true economic cost of the Iran war—and the alternative policies to build a new security and development architecture for the world—will be the central topic explored by highly qualified experts at the May 15 EIR Emergency Roundtable Dialogue. Confirmed speakers include:
Helga Zepp-LaRouche (Germany): Editor-in-chief, Executive Intelligence Review; founder, Schiller Institute
H.E. Abolfazl Pasandideh (Iran): Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Mexico
Prof. Richard Falk (U.S.): professor emeritus of International Law and Practice at Princeton University
David Hundeyin (Nigeria): investigative journalist, founder, The Spearhead
And others to be announced.

I’ll Stop Talking About Israel When Israel Gets the Fuck Out of My Face
The Iranians have been very creative with the Lego videos. I would like to see them go one step further and create a role reversal satire video showing the Iranian leadership proposing a mirror to the same policy that the American/Israeli Zionist Axis proposed and tried to sell to the American people:
Iranian Leader #1: “Democracy is dead in America. Congress is weak. The courts are compromised. There is a two tier system of justice. The power of the President is as strong as it has ever been.”
Iranian Leader #2: “The military-industrial complex has a strangehold over their government. They control the media and get rich off of promoting endless war.”
Iranian Leader #1: “There is strong opposition in the USA to the current regime. Maybe we should fund the opposition party.”
Iranian Leader #2: “I have an even better idea: Let’s arm the No Kings protesters. And then let’s bomb America and encourage the No Kings protesters to rise up an overthrow the regime. We will encourage the people to take back their country.”
Iranian Leader #1: “The sabre ratlling is ratcheting up. They are planning to attack us soon. We need to attack them before they attack us. If we act now, the Americans will see us as liberators, even as we bomb their country.”
Iran Leader #2: “Yes, but we should have a say in the composition of the new government.”
Brilliant strategy? What dould go wrong? The American people would welcome this, wouldn’t they? They don’t like their government, do they? And they are tired of endless war, aren’t they?

If I hate this war, does that make me anti-American / anti-Semite?
Trump is surrounded by ideological dominionists that have convinced him that he is divinely chosen to bring about the golden age foretold by their false prophets and teachers.
Trump only concerned about nuclear dust. We will see, rates and oil at tweet trigger levels.
@chooch – If I hate this war, does that make me anti-American / anti-Semite?
No sir, it does not..perhaps a word such as loathe or abhor would be better for your inner being.
Have you ever watched someone mechanically incompetent attempt to assemble something from written instructions? “ideological dominionists” and prophets* I loathe, despise, detest, abhor,
Abominate the Iran war.
I love our troops, I love our land,
The flag goes by, I always stand;
But of all bad news outside my door,
The worst of all’s the Iran war.
Chain me up with clowns galore,
But don’t give me the Iran war.
The Donald made a huge mistake,
And now his cabinet’s on the take;
They peddle bombs and make a ton,
And yuck it up like it’s all fun.
The world think our land’s a joke
And groceries soon will make me broke,
The dollar’s doomed and one thing more,
It’s lies that justify this war.
Knock me flat upon the floor,
But don’t give me the Iran war.
