Iran can withstand the US naval blockade against it for three or four more months before facing severe economic hardship, the CIA told the Trump administration this week, according to a report by The Washington Post on Thursday.
The report also said the CIA has found that Tehran retains “significant ballistic missile capabilities” …
The CIA report flies in the face of public statements by the Trump administration, which has claimed that the vast majority of Iran’s drone and missile capabilities have been destroyed.
The US has said that Iran is running out of storage space for its oil…
Analysts have told MEE that Iran has “weeks” of storage space left.
Wait I thought we destroyed all their missles? 🤡
To the surprise of who (with a brain) exactly?
Country that spent the past 50 years planning for exact thing, having watched exact thing happen to their neighbors, and major ally of 2/3rds of the world’s military superpowers, shockingly undefeated after 2 months.
I think donnie boy and kegsbreath dont understand what ‘decimated’ actually means.
That’s the historical meaning but it can also mean this (according to Merriam Webster):
3 a: to reduce drastically especially in number
An outbreak of cholera decimated the population.
Kamieniecki’s return comes at a crucial time for a pitching staff that has been decimated by injuries.— Jason Diamos
3 b: to cause great destruction or harm to
A fire decimated the city.
An industry decimated by recession
Unfortunately I want this to keep going and gas prices to skyrocket. So my countrymen will get a punch to the mouth. Since apparently the only thing that can break them out of a cult is gas prices and suffering.
They haven’t lost their ability to manufacture more missiles and drones and probably won’t. Russia and China will prop them up with food and supplies to fight a proxy war on their behalf. This will be a forever war.
Ironically I think this self made oil crisis is the kick in the nuts the world needed to adopt more clean energy options. Even if oil is being burned more now, the high price is pushing many to use green tech. I hope that oil prices skyrocket for the average person so we do something positive for global warming.
good luck iran against imperialist USA and israel
