BREAKING: Iran and Egypt have agreed to restore full diplomatic ties and open embassies in each other's capitals.

The timing of this cannot be overstated. As the U.S. positions two carrier strike groups for a potential strike on Iran, Tehran just secured a diplomatic relationship with the most populous Arab nation, and a key U.S. ally that hosts American military assets.

Iran and Egypt severed ties in 1980 after the Islamic Revolution.

️JUST IN: Iran in a letter to UN Secretary General:

“If attacked, all bases, facilities, and assets of the hostile force in the region would constitute legitimate targets in the context of Iran’s defensive response. The United States would bear full and direct responsibility for any unpredictable and uncontrolled consequences”

️BREAKING: Iran’s President Pezeshkian:

Iran is committed to peace and stability in the region. Recent negotiations involved the exchange of practical proposals and yielded encouraging signals. However, we continue to closely monitor U.S. actions and have made all necessary preparations for any potential scenario.

Dit is een snelle aanvalsboot van de Iraanse marine. Met 205km/u de snelste in de wereld.

Omdat Iran geen grote schepen kan bouwen of kopen, hebben ze een enorme vloot aan snelle goedkope boten, bewapend met missiles. Swarm tactics.

Mochten de VS aanvallen, dan zullen hun carrier groups honderden snelle bootjes van zich af moeten vechten. Terwijl ze worden bestookt met hypersonics en airborn drone swarms.

Wordt een nieuw tijdperk in oorlogsvoering. Mijn geld is op de swarm.

Another reminder that the Israel/DC think-tank class’s plan is to split Iran into 8-10 ethnostates after they topple the Mullahs.

This is the only outcome Israel finds acceptable because it’s the only way to ensure Israeli regional hegemony.

We’re talking about a decade long civil war that America will not only be responsible for initiating but we will 100% be forced to subsidize and participate in too. Anyone telling you otherwise is lying through their teeth.

Regime change would be an absolute catastrophe.
