IRAN REGIME STEALS EVERYTHING FROM BILLIONAIRE FOR "ALLEGEDLY SUPPORTING RIOTERS"
Iran's reportedly arrested billionaire Mohammad Saedinia, the owner of those popular Saedinia cafés.
He supported protesters during the riots, or so the Regime says.
His assets are all frozen, and the funds will supposedly go toward covering the millions in damages, of course.

If the high holy rollers bail out to Russia or some other country , I suspect the opposite will be true. The people will go on a torture murder rampage against the IRGC.
I hope you are correct.

We do have to work some of the time. Better to get the work done while nothing major is going to happen. That way we can be free to comment if something does happen during the action hours.

It’s not that hard.
Trump encourages Iranians to protest. Says there will be hell to pay if government suppresses protests through violence. Govt fills body bags. Trump does nothing.
Worse that Obama’s Syria redline.
Hell, the way that he hung out those protesters is bordering on JFK/Bay of Pigs level hangout.

Not sure why you are being downvoted as this is 100% true if he actually backs out.
With that said, I do think there is a chance that this could buy time to get more assets in the area and gauge Irans defense strategies.

You do realize that it ain’t over yet, don’t you?

He can't. TDS initiated reply. We really should have a telethon by now for these TDS folks. Raise funds to send them to 1 year of mental health therapy.

After they already massacred thousands. How many of those held are actually released? Sounds more like a temporary stay of execution rather than a pardon. They will be hanging from cranes in a few weeks.
Trump drew a red line at a point Iran had already crossed and he chickened out on his threats to do anything about it.

If tweet fails to load, click here. This is a live containment operation.
The strike was real. The reversal was real.
This is state-level controlled ignition.
There was a greenlight. Then a high-level override.
Carrier strike groups moved. Bombers were armed.
Evacuation flights were ordered, then stood down.
Chalk orders were issued. Logs show “mission called off.”
The clock was ticking and the clock stopped.
Why?
Because something broke the symmetry.
Trump went on camera. Iran halted executions.
A backchannel was opened via Pakistan.
Regional actors like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Qatar intervened to prevent use of airspace.
A UN Security Council session was triggered mid-crisis.
The airspace closure, the rerouted commercial flights, the military standby - all of it was real.
The response was not symbolic. It was surgical.
The deterrent message was delivered with maximum ambiguity.
Iran blinked. Trump flexed. But neither side collapsed.
This was a trial run.
The US gained full-spectrum data on Iranian readiness.
Command latency. Radar activation. Defensive posture.
Iran showed its hand under pressure.
The Pentagon watched every move.
What the US just did was a dry-run ignition protocol to test reflexes.
And it worked.
No bombs dropped. No martyrs made.
But the field was mapped, the pressure applied, and the exit offered.
Trump now controls the pace of escalation.
Iran is buying time through signals and intermediaries.
The Ayatollah is either evacuating or preparing an internal firewall.
Both are collapse moves.
The sanctions, the media leaks, the social media info war - they are not distractions.
They are phase 2 of a psyops-led siege campaign.
Collapse without a missile. Submission through saturation.
This is war by other means.
The strike is no longer the question.
The strike is now leverage.
Collapse has entered the slow spiral.
No fundamental rescue exists inside Iran.
Sanctions are deepening. Capital is fleeing.
Water shortages, blackouts, repression - all accelerating.
The regime is now hostage to its own stagnation.
And everyone at the top of the game knows it.
This was not about killing leaders.
This was about proving who moves the sky.
And now the whole world sees who moves it.
The tempo of collapse has entered American control.
Not by force. By frequency.
The signal has been sent.

Nothing but verbal slop from grok.

The White House says Iran had 800 executions lined up in a single day… then called them off because Trump “pressed them.”
Maybe, maybe not. Trump didn't even know about those executions being "lined up" until a journalist from CBS told him. It was a legitimate reaction from him when he was told about those hangings being scheduled for the next day.
