Are there any other countries with a Shia dominated government?
Azerbajan. BTW, there are more Azeris living in Iran than in Azerbaijan.

he Iranian state-run Tasnim News Agency, which is affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), confirms that loss of a Shahed-129 Surveillance Drone earlier today over the Arabian Sea, stating that the reason for the loss is “under investigation,”
"Under investigation"
Pretty sure a burst of 25mm had nothing to do with that right?

FYI, Shia pets, are a minority in Iran. The largest segment is agnostic/athiest followed by Zororasterism, Christianity and Judaism. A lot of those are converts in the last decade or so.

That and they have exactly ONE of those in that model. I looked up that particular model and who Russia sold them too and Iran has a grand total of one.

So was the attempt at hijacking one of our tankers part of a plan to take hostages as part of negotiations?

I think the IRGC is trying to bait US and IDF forces into striking before all of the defense systems are in play. It lets them fire back before all counter measures can be deployed and allow them to scurry to safety in the chaos.
Either that are they really are full of themselves and think they have a chance to win in a confrontation.

Why not both? Seriously.

In Dictatorships, failure means death. No one will br willing to admit it so they will lie.

If both sides make it to Friday for negotiations, they will not be speaking to each directly in the same room...........

Secretary of State @SecRubio says for talks with Iran to be meaningful, they must address ballistic missiles, regional terror sponsorship, the nuclear program, and the regime's treatment of the Iranian people.
I'm not sure Iran will agree with any of that. I'm particularly concerned about the people of Iran who want to be treated fairly and I just don't see that ever being done as long as the islamists are in charge.
