Death is coming for the Iranian people in either scenario... Better to die on your feet.

This is true but that might be a good. Last time the Russian people revolted the world ended up with communism.

Isn't this thing about over with? Inspiration by Trump and the Shah's son can only go so far when they are getting their heads busted and taking lead and I think I read losing their heads summarily.


The American Revolution was 8 years long. You’d be surprised how long people will hang on for freedom.

“Prince of Persia” is a pretty fancy title for the offspring of a puppet installed by the U.S. in the early 50’s…

1. I like the title.

2. Shouldn't you be in Minnesota freezing your old bones off manning anti-ICE checkpoints?

Looks like Trump has decided to not negotiate with the regime.

It's been sad to see that you and your ilk will gladly support the world's largest state sponsor of terror and a regime massacring thousands of unarmed protestors just to oppose anything the orange man does. No shame.

He became Shah in 1941, not the 1950s.

The Shah had been on the throne since 1941 after his daddy abdicated due to being seen by the British and Soviets as too pro-German. We couped his prime minister in 1953 when he tried to nationalize their oil industry.

Mossadegh was constitutionally removed by the Shah. He was a Russian asset and it was more than nationalizing the oil, but taking over the government completely.

Was the US even involved much in the Shah's installation? He was installed in Sept. 1941 by UK and Soviets. US was still strongly isolationist, at least until December 7, 1941.

What makes you say "a puppet installed by the U.S. in the early 50’s…"?

Why are you supporting the dictatorship that came to power in 1979 after they were trained, assisted and financed by the Soviets?

If I were any leader or IRG, I would be squirming pretty hard right about now.

OSINTdefender @sentdefender Other than a few movements in the last day or so that were slightly interesting, there still has been no concerted effort observed by the U.S. Air Force or Navy, no major airlift or ongoing buildup, to prepare for future military action against Iran. However, if action is imminent, I would expect the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) is quietly on its way from the South China Sea

So many conflicting reports. I truly don’t think anyone really knows what’s going on. And that’s probably exactly how Trump wants it

Bingo. Unlike Putin with his invasion of Ukraine or Zelensky with his counterattack Trump realizes that it is best to not to show your cards beforehand. Keep them guessing and on their toes.

Putin is not happy that the USA is about to help overthrow one of his butt buddies.
