In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
To Muslims worldwide and to the governments of Islamic countries:
1.Iran was subjected to a deceptive American-Zionist aggression that occurred during negotiations, the goal of which was to dismantle Iran. This aggression led to the martyrdom of the great, self-sacrificing commander of the Islamic Revolution, along with several civilians and military commanders. However, the aggressors encountered resolute national and Islamic resistance from the Iranian people.
2.You are aware that, with rare exceptions and only within the bounds of political stances, no Islamic country stood by the Iranian people. Nevertheless, through their strong will, the Iranian people were able to suppress the aggressor enemy to the point that today, it is unable to find a way out of this strategic predicament.
3.Iran is forging ahead on the path of resistance in confronting the Great Satan and the Lesser Satan, namely America and Israel. But isn't the stance of some Islamic governments contradictory to the saying of the Prophet (PBUH): "Whoever hears a man calling out, 'O Muslims!' and does not respond to him, is not a Muslim"? So, what kind of Islam is this?
4.Some countries have gone even further, stating that Iran has become their enemy because it targeted American bases, as well as American and Israeli interests, within their territories. Is Iran expected to stand idly by with its hands tied while American bases in your countries are used to attack it? These are flimsy pretexts. Today's confrontation is between America and Israel on one side, and Muslim Iran and the resistance forces on the other. So, which side do you stand on?
5.Think about the future of the Islamic world. You know that America has no loyalty and that Israel is an enemy to you. Pause for a moment and reflect upon yourselves and the future of the region. Iran offers you sincere advice and does not seek to dominate you.
6.The unity of the Islamic nation (Ummah), if powerfully realized, is capable of guaranteeing security, progress, and independence for all its countries.
Peace be upon you.
A servant among the servants of Allah,
Ali Larijani

>>2742990I'm a Mossad agent and this is my post
>>2742963Pissrahell already 2-0 on the "killing big figures" scoreboard.
Iran better step up their game.
The IDF said Tuesday that it had killed senior Iranian official Ali Larijani in a strike on a Tehran safe house, with Defense Minister Israel Katz confirming his death. The military also said it had eliminated Gholamreza Soleimani, commander of Iran’s Basij force, and his deputy Qasim Qureshi, in a separate strike. Larijani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, was targeted in overnight strikes. There was no immediate confirmation from Iranian authorities.
According to the IDF, the Israeli Air Force carried out a separate strike on Monday in Tehran based on intelligence, killing Soleimani, who had led the Basij unit for the past six years.
The Basij forces are part of Iran’s internal security apparatus and have played a central role in suppressing protests. During periods of unrest, including in recent waves of demonstrations, forces under Soleimani’s command led repression operations involving arrests and the use of force against civilian demonstrators. Iran
Separately, Israel struck an underground compound in the city of Qom in recent days where senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad figures were believed to be present, including deputy leader Akram al-Ajouri and the head of the terror group’s military wing, Mohammed al-Hindi, according to a source familiar with the details.
Thoughts
>>2743008Not great for Iran, the worse news is Iran's entire arms/missile production pipeline has been oblitorated. It's now basically a game of chicken, will Iran run out of missiles first, or will Hormuz collapse.
Either way I think Iran as a regional power after this is dimished for a long fucking time, they've lost decades of assets, infrastructure and leadership in the span of 2 weeks.
>>2743005>QatarAnytime anybody brings up Qatar in this fashion you know they have a Mossad hand up their ass puppeting their mouth.

I'm angry at just how incompetent the Iranians and their "axis of resistance"
Israel is murdering their people, leaders etc' and they are still trying to be diplomatic
Jesus
*Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:* “We have eliminated Ali Larijani and the commander of the Basij. We are undermining this regime in the hope of giving the Iranian people the opportunity to get rid of it. At the same time, we are helping our American friends in the Gulf—both through indirect attacks and direct action.” The full statement: This morning we eliminated Ali Larijani. Ali Larijani is the head of the Revolutionary Guard, which is the gang that effectively runs Iran.
We also eliminated the commander of the Basij—the henchmen of the gangsters, who spread terror in the streets of Tehran and other cities in Iran against the population. We are also operating there; operating from the air with Air Force planes, with drones. We are undermining this regime in the hope of giving the Iranian people the opportunity to get rid of it. This will not happen all at once, it will not happen easily. But if we persist—we will give them the opportunity to take their destiny into their own hands.
At the same time, we are assisting our American friends in the Gulf. I spoke at length with President Trump yesterday about this. There is cooperation between our air and naval forces, between myself and President Trump and his people. We will also assist in indirect strikes, which create tremendous pressure on the Iranian regime, as well as in direct actions. There are many more surprises. We will wage war with tactics.
We will not reveal all the tactics here, but I told you: there are many. Now, regarding another matter: the most important thing to win in war is determination. Determination, determination, determination. Determination of the leaders, determination of the commanders, determination of the people. We are determined to win, and we will achieve these things. I ask you to simply ignore the channels of despair. We are achieving historic successes.
We, with God's help, have reached a situation where, after October 7th, when we were on the brink of disaster, we are now a tremendous, almost global power, with our ally, the global superpower, fighting side by side. This is already a tremendous achievement in the face of all the threats that will be presented to us. What country still has these capabilities? Everyone is being attacked here. Who has our forces, our alliances, the IDF, the Air Force, and a strong people? So stay strong.
I want to tell you: we will help you too. Everything related to compensation—I have instructed that the plan be presented to you and that the plan be expanded. Help the North, and help anyone who needs it, as we have done in the past with "Like a Lion," as we did before during the pandemic. We will do even better this time.

This is by far the highest level resignation of the Trump administration at any point
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_KentThe director of the National Counterterrorism Center has announced his resignation, saying he “cannot in good conscience” back the Trump administration’s war in Iran, APA reports citing Reuters.
Joe Kent says on social media Iran “posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”
>>2743050So it's true they was planning a false flag
>>2743050>it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobbyDon't let leftcom flag see this, she thinks zionist influence is not real
>>2743053Pretty wild of you to even doubt it, they are not even bothering to hide it.
The real questions are when and where.
>>2743064> zionist influenceLel the US gov is entirely zionist. It's zionists influencing other zionists. Even the ones that don't get money still know they must uphold the outpost
How bad is the situation now that Larijani was most likely killed? I guess they used that AI to find him.
I find it strage how zios are just projecting a fall of leadership
>Iran can take a hit to its leadership
<zionist entity refuses to put real videos of bibi because minds will break if he dies
>>2743064>The real questions are when and whereDepends how far the war goes, world cup starts in June.
>>2743070Do the iranian's not have AI targetting software? How is bibi still alive
>>2743075are you on drugs?
>>2743075You need real time sensors and intel gathering for it to work. ziorats just tap into america's satellite, drone and radar network. That's why Iran took out those radars to buy them time.
War preparations on the Iraq-Syria border.
While the war between the US, Israel, and Iran continues, tensions are rising again on the Iraq-Syria border. The withdrawal of the Iraqi army from critical points along the border, particularly in areas such as Abu Kamal and Qaim, is being interpreted as a sign of preparation for a new conflict in the region. Recent US airstrikes targeting the Popular Mobilization Forces (Hashd al-Shaabi) are seen as a move to weaken Iran's influence along the border. Furthermore, the proximity of Abu Kamal and Qaim means that potential clashes between Hashd al-Shaabi and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) could shift the balance on both sides of the border.
Following the January 29th agreement between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Damascus, the search for a new balance on the ground is noteworthy. While the security-focused talks have temporarily eased the atmosphere in Syria, there are indications that they could transform into a new conflict zone in Iraq. Furthermore, it is stated that the dynamics that could drag the SDF and Damascus into renewed conflict remain strong. The main determining factor in the region is emphasized as the increasingly widening influence of the Iran-Israel tension. According to analysts, a new Shiite-Sunni conflict has begun in the region.
<HTS'S SCENARIO FOR LEBANON
Sources on the ground report that new scenarios aimed at escalating tensions along the Syria-Lebanon line are being discussed. According to these sources, plans are being made to position militant groups within Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) against Lebanese Hezbollah.
The SDF, while prioritizing the security of Kurdish areas, wants to demonstrate the feasibility of the agreement reached with Damascus on the ground. Although the return of the people of Afrin and the appointment of SDF General Command member Sipan Hemo as Deputy Minister of Defense are interpreted as gestures of "goodwill," the situation on the ground is quite complex. Sources indicate that the parties have agreed on lists for the prisoner exchange and that mutual releases are expected to take place before Newroz.
<PROPOSAL FOR WAR TO THE SENADID FORCES
While activity continues in the region, according to our information, Senadid forces were offered the opportunity to participate in operations against Hashd al-Shaabi; however, Senadid forces did not respond favorably to the offer. It is stated that the offer aims to reshape control along the border. A message conveyed to the team of HTS leader al-Jolani (Ahmed al-Shara) reportedly stated, "We lack the strength; we cannot fight Hashd al-Shaabi." Despite this, preparations for a possible conflict are being felt along the Abu Kamal, Deir ez-Zor, Til Koçer, Qaim, and Qamishlo line.
<NEW POWER WARS
On the other hand, the withdrawal of the Iraqi army from the border and the US attacks on the Popular Mobilization Forces (HTS) are creating the groundwork for a new power struggle in the region. There are also reports that HTS and al-Jolani's group have been holding meetings in several Syrian cities in recent days.
<COLANI'S SEARCH FOR A GOVERNMENT AND THE UNCERTAINTY.
Colani's attempt to form a government is shrouded in considerable uncertainty. The possibility of the Colani team being purged indicates that this process is being closely monitored by both regional and international actors.
In addition to these developments, it is reported that ISIS is calling for reorganization in the Raqqa, Deir ez-Zor, Shiheil, and Diban regions, and that open cells are operating, particularly in Raqqa, offering the population two options: either join ISIS or leave the region.
<THREE CRITICAL FACTORS FOR THE FUTURE
Sources on the ground point to three key factors that will determine the future of Syria:
>*The full implementation of the SDF-Damascus agreement. The implementation and sustainability of the January 29 Agreement on the ground could strengthen the possibility of a political solution in Syria.
>*The scenario of HTS being used against Hezbollah in Lebanon and the HTS-Hashd al-Shaabi conflict along the Iraq-Syria line indicate that a regional war is on the horizon.
>*The fact that ISIS is attempting to reorganize itself in Iraq and Syria raises serious concerns that it is being deployed again as a genocidal force.
Here’s more from Joe Kent’s resignation letter over the war on Iran
In his letter to Trump resigning as director of the US’s National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent said he supported “the values and the foreign policies” Trump had campaigned on in 2016, 2020 and 2024, and which he said he had enacted in his first term.
Kent said that in his first term, Trump had “understood better than any modern president how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn into never-ending wars”.
But early in his second term, he said, “high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran”.
“This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that you should strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory,” he added.
“This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war.”
>>2743001>is he dead or not?He might be alive and just hiding or injured, but Israel is at war and he has now missed at least two security council meetings, has held no press briefings, not seen in public for days, but his twitter keeps communicating with text and by publishing questionable statements that might be AI. They then respond to all the doubts about AI and that he is indeed alive and not dead or AI, with videos that are even more obviously AI. There is something about them denying it too hard that is very telling that not everything is ok in Jerusalem. If he were fine he would have just shown himself in a public press room, even abroad if it's a security concern and there would be no mediabuzz about him.
It could be that he is just bedridden with cause not connected to the war, old man that he is and Israelis are too attached to the veneer of their own marketed invincibility that they even keep that hidden in fear of morale and deterrence suffering of seeing their leader laid low. I still think he is most likely focking dead.
>>2743084>disastrous Iraq war.”Was it tho? Dead goym don't count to american politicians, actually I never heard a serious economic assestment of the damage done by Vietnam and Iraq¹ and iraq².
It's something that i heard mentioned in that adam curtis documentary but never saw a serious assestment
larijani has fallen
iran is restraint cucking
its over until further notice

There probably is an intelligence wing in trump who genuinely believed in no foreign wars who have been pissed since July 2025. Maybe that's why they sent Gabbard on weird missions in Georgia. It seems like the Tucker wing is going to be purged though

>>2743111 >>2743117Laura loomer does not care about a person being a Nazi. She cares about a person not supporting Israel and their wars literally. Laura loomer has spent well over a decade being close friends with literal Nazis with no problem and championing actual Nazi views. Where she breaks with you is when you question Israel or you say a war is not good then she starts calling you a Nazi and insulting you
>>2743117Also, since you took the time to go through this man's Wikipedia, I suggest you go through the views section of Laura loomer. It's immensely worse

>>2743131 The Revolutionary Guard launches the 58th wave of "True Promise 4" and a fragmentation missile hits the vicinity of Ben Gurion Airport.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard announced on Tuesday the launch of the 58th wave of “True Promise 4” against targets in the north and center of the Israeli entity and American bases in the region.
The Guard confirmed the successful targeting of sites in the north and center of the Israeli entity, including Nahariya, Beit Shemesh, Tel Aviv, West Jerusalem, and US Army bases in Victoria, Ali Al Salem, Al Kharj, and the Fifth Fleet.
The Guard said that in wave 58 it used super-heavy precision missiles of the “Khorramshahr” type equipped with a two-ton warhead, in addition to medium-range missiles of the “Fateh” type, along with suicide drones.
The Guard dedicated Wave 58 to the children of the martyrs of the aggression, especially the children of Minab School and the child "Mujtaba", the youngest martyr of the aggression.
The Revolutionary Guard announced the start of effective and targeted operations in the region since dawn on Tuesday, using super-heavy and precision-guided missiles, noting that the missiles used in the operations have multiple warheads and are equipped with solid and liquid fuel, in addition to suicide drones.
Iranian television had indicated that the Iranian armed forces had launched another new batch of Iranian missiles towards the Israeli entity.
For its part, Israeli media noted that sirens sounded in the central region, particularly in Tel Aviv.
Israeli media also reported that a fragmentation missile fell in the vicinity of Ben Gurion Airport, noting that seven impact sites were reported as a result of the explosion of this missile.
>>2743133You should care since Laura loomer has direct influence on Donald Trump as she speaks to him regularly has meetings with staff and can impact policy. You should familiarize yourself with who she is. She's essentially a White House advisor and a complete Maniac
>>2743135>You should care since Laura loomer has direct influence on Donald Trump as she speaks to him regularly NTA but he's right. Don't care what trump saying either, these people spew mountains of contradictory nonsense every day, it would take endless energy to parse what matters and what doesn't.
>>2743135if trump listened to loomer then he would invade qatar
>>2743117>far rightMeaningless buzzword and besides he’s isolationist which makes him less of a Nazi than Mamdani
>>2743137You don't have to accept every idea that a person says for them to influence you and impact what you do. You are making it so that if Trump has not done every single thing that Laura loomer says that then she has no influence, nonsense.

>>2743161I can't believe Trump's jewish handlers were loyal to Israel all along. Truly shocking stuff.
>>2743015everyone theyve claimed to have killed is actually dead. meanwhile you retards post a literally who /pol/ incel on twitter claiming that bibi is dead and dont even quesfion it
>>2743167>and dont even quesfion itcalm down rabbi, no need to lie this hard
>>2743167It's disgusting that Iran didn't bother to bolster it's close air defences against drones prior to the war, despite having an example of half a year ago.
kek the mossad volunteers have arrived

Shut up Icarus

>>2743201He’s still objectively to the left of AOCIA and Ziohran
>>2743070AI just help with mass targeting, and narrowing down key data in mass surveillance, you could do the same before with enough people
and ofc the US empire is good at infiltration and surveillance, especially of electronics systems with all the hardware and software backdoors they have, and combined with precision weapons that means assassination successes. This still doesnt move them an inch closer to victory
I guess Iran is the new Ukraine and USA is the new Russia.
Except in this case, this new Russia does not hesitate to go after decision-making centers.
Clown-world tier geopolitics.
Ultra clownworld.
>>2743175so did khamenei senior
>>2743200Garden variety thirst for revenge?
From the way Iran blocked Hormuz should tell you that this war isn't pointless from the perspective of the American empire, if it wanted to maintain a grip on the Middle East and the petrodollar.
>>2743081in cyrus interview on rwn, he doesnt belive syria will get involved because for one they dont have enough control internally and are focusing inward, second the militias still dont like the zionists and wouldnt like to be doing their bidding so explicitly, and third turkey wouldnt like it (there could still be clashes on iraqi border by random militias)
>>2743204Inch? I think it does move an inch lol.
For one, its demoralizing fighting against the all seeing eye of sauron but you can't go after bibi. Doesn't help that your media doesn't reach the west. Meh. It does feel like a lot of these modern wars are boomer fossils who did not like getting slimed out of a cake-cutting deal with the neoliberal world order. The more I think about it, the more I understand that this world is headed down an irreversible western-dominated palantir zionist hellscape police state.
>>2743089for me he is definitely either wounded or dead, they wouldnt be doing these AI videos otherwise (I thought it was schizo at first, but the disappearing ring is hard to deny)
Israeli army says new missile launch detected from Iran
The army says on X that it is working to intercept the projectiles and urges people to seek shelter.
Larijani’s assassination would be ‘major blow’ for Iranian establishment
At this point, there is no official confirmation from Tehran.
This is quite similar to the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the former supreme leader of the country. For hours, we had to keep waiting for the official announcement of his assassination.
Last time, we were receiving denials from the Iranian side, but this time, we don’t even see that coming out – there is no confirmation, no denial.
That is just intensifying the possibility that the reports and statements from the Israeli side are true.
If confirmed, we know that we are dealing with a very important, major blow when it comes to Iran’s political establishment.
Since the revolution of 1979, Ali Larijani has been involved in different circles of power. First, he was a member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), then he was appointed as deputy labour minister, culture minister, the state TV head, senior adviser to the supreme leader – and speaker of the parliament for more than 10 years.
IRGC carries out 59th wave of strikes
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it has completed its latest round of strikes.
The attacks – which began at dawn today – targeted areas in Israel’s Beit Shemesh, Tel Aviv and occupied Jerusalem, the IRGC said in a statement published by Iran’s ISNA news agency.
Strikes also targeted US forces at Kuwait’s Ali al-Salem Air Base, the UAE’s Fujairah and in Iraq’s Erbil, the statement added.
The IRGC earlier pledged that “the backbone of arrogance will be broken in the streets and squares” through today’s operations.
UK govt probes leak about US usage of UK military bases in Mideast war
Britain’s Government Security Group has opened an inquiry into a leak from the National Security Council’s discussions about the US using British military bases, according to an official letter from the cabinet secretary posted on social media.
The leak is related to allegations that Energy Minister Ed Miliband led calls to stop the US from using British military bases for its initial action against Iran in early March.
Asked for comment, a Cabinet Office spokesperson said: “We don’t have anything to add to the letter for now.”

Their whole branch of islam is based on glazing martyrdom, its their founding act, there are rumors a bunch of the old guard see this as their opportunity to get martyred in their old age after having survived the iran iraq war.
killing leaders of organization prepared against it also tend to make for better and more radical leaders, you get no arriviste in power in those situation, you get competent true believers and spread institutional knowledge with plenty of replacement ready

>>2743229is there even anyone that's capable of puling a ground invasion of israel?
>>2743244
Mutts might be impossible to invade militarily, just based on geography, but they are quite far from economically invulnerable. Us societal contract is based on popular apathy, but in return the people receive treats. Us doesn't make those treats themselves, they print money mostly. Take the treats away and US would be on it's knees very quickly.

>>2743229Why aren’t YOU as an American who supposedly opposes the war not opening a second front by sabotaging MIC factories and assassinating generals while preparing your cadres for open war with the bourgeois state? Oh that’s right, it’s because you don’t actually oppose it. You won’t do shit and you never will

>>2743345Marxism is a religion where you worship some German philosopher and follow the teachings of "dialectics". Notable for it's materialist stance and belief that wealth should be fairly redistributed and resources held in common.

>>2743351>>2743345marxism IS the only sociological/philosophical thought that is not a religion or some idealistic nonsensical garbage because the marxist method as also dialetical framework is based on realism and the existing things of universe and nature.
unlike the religious idealistic falsification, marxism and diamat is appliable to the current reality and all historical situations, hence why the "tankies have the burden of being right" meme.
i am not diminishing also other sociological currents like weberianism or durkheim tbh but this isnt the fitting thread to respond since isnt related to iran other than the idiot with hezbollah flag trolling

Either that, and/or you're just glowies. Probably both.

Middle East
was a four-way competition for regional influence between Israel, Turkey, Iran and Saudi Arabia. But now Saudis got cock-slapped by Iran, so they are out of the competition. Iran seems like the more pressing concern for Turkey.
>>2743405Turkey is currently low-key with Iran in the current war. They restrained Aliyev from doing anything stupid and probably played a role in foiling the Kurdish offensive stuff.

>>2743427Iraq also wasn't a war for strategic interests, it was a war for Israel, according to Philip Zelikow, other insiders said it was just because the war in Afghanistan wasn't telegenic enough, and didn't provide enough resistance, to satisfy America's desire for revenge after 9/11.

>>2743452what? times are becoming a lot more favorable than they have ever been in the last 30 years
>>2743461it was also for israel because israel was a strategic interest, and also because of oil and saddam starting to sell in other currencies than dollars. They had plenty of good imperialist reasons to invade
What's israel tactic here? They are doing all in on their existance, why now? Weren't they satisfied with blasting some palestinian children?
Now pop larijiani who was mediator with gulf countries. They want an all out war with gulf involved… But what if they don't win? Aren't they making a big gamble here

https://ddgeopolitics.substack.com/p/the-famine-signal-chinas-fertilizer
>China just told its exporters to stop shipping nitrogen-potassium fertilizer blends abroad. China is the world’s largest fertilizer producer. When it closes the spigot, the entire planet feels the drought. This is not a supply chain story, this is a food security story. A human impact story, and if you know your history, it is also a story about what happens in the streets when bread becomes a luxury.>Now the nitrogen-potassium blend halt has landed on top of all of it. The Strait of Hormuz — a critical choke point through which three of the top ten urea-exporting nations must ship their product — is under blockade amid the Iran conflict. Europe, still nursing wounds from the Russia-Ukraine war, is running its nitrogen production facilities at roughly 75 percent of pre-2022 capacity. Three simultaneous shocks. One global food system with almost no margin for error.>Industry analysts estimate fertilizer prices could climb an additional 15 to 20 percent by mid-2026 if supply constraints persist. Smaller agricultural economies, particularly in Africa and South Asia, risk being priced out entirely.
>WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE AMERICAN FARMER>Philip Nelson is a fourth-generation farmer in LaSalle County, Illinois. He was recently elected president of the Illinois Farm Bureau. He does not mince words about what his members are facing.>The American Farm Bureau Federation says many row-crop farmers are looking at four or five straight consecutive years of operational losses — even after crop insurance payments and emergency federal assistance. The USDA’s own Economic Research Service projects net farm income to fall again in 2026, in inflation-adjusted terms.>Fertilizer is the front line of the crisis. Illinois corn producers are expected to spend approximately $229 per acre on fertilizer in 2026. Soybean growers will spend around $61 per acre. These figures represent increases over an already punishing 2025.>Nebraska farmer Clay Govier, a Progressive Farmer focused on sustainability and regenerative farming practices states it plainly in a recent interview: '“You can’t even buy fertilizer right now and I think that’s the bigger concern for this coming crop in terms of what we’re going to do for fertility options.”>That is not a farmer complaining about tight margins. That is a farmer saying the input doesn’t exist to purchase.>The urea-corn ratio — a metric that tells farmers how many bushels of corn they must sell to buy one ton of fertilizer — has climbed to its highest point in years. In plain terms: it now costs more corn to buy the fertilizer needed to grow corn. That is a structural trap, not a market fluctuation.>Farmers are responding by shifting acreage. Analysts project up to 1.5 million acres could move from corn to soybeans this spring — soybeans require less nitrogen. Corn yields will drop. Corn prices will rise. The grocery store and out shelves receive the transmission.
>THE GLOBAL CASCADE: WHO GETS HIT FIRST>The United States will absorb a shock. Other countries will absorb catastrophe.>Brazil is one of the world’s largest agricultural exporters. China now supplies 24 percent of all fertilizers imported by Brazil. The prospect of a phosphate export suspension through August 2026 — which Chinese industry groups have already signaled — could destabilize the Brazilian harvest cycle at its roots, literally.>India’s fertilizer consumption surged 14 percent in the spring of 2025. Demand is accelerating precisely as supply is contracting. The arithmetic does not resolve peacefully.>Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia are the regions most exposed. These are economies where smallholder farmers operate on inputs purchased season-to-season, with no financial buffer, no credit line, and no crop insurance. A 20-percent spike in fertilizer costs does not mean a tighter year. It means a season with no crops.>The World Bank’s fertilizer price index rose more than 20 percent in 2025. Projections suggest modest easing in 2026 — but those projections preceded the current nitrogen-potassium halt, the Strait of Hormuz blockade, and the compounding effect of sustained Chinese export suppression. To summarize, that means 2.1 Billion people are in critical exposure zones.
>THE HISTORY THEY DON’T TEACH IN ECONOMICS CLASS>I alway go back to this key point when we are looking at food insecurity, people that know my work know I pair these two talking points together. Because it is undeniable and history speaks for itself. Researchers at the New England Complex Systems Institute identified a single variable that appears, with disturbing consistency, before major episodes of civil unrest around the world: food prices crossing a threshold that puts staple goods out of reach for the poor.>The finding is not subtle. When the FAO Food Price Index spikes past a certain level, protests follow. The timing, across countries and decades, is not coincidental.
>There is no clean border around a food crisis. There never has been. It’s up to all of us to educate ourselves, prepair, and support one another through these times to the best of our ability.>The question is not whether this WILL affect you. The question is whether you will be prepared when it DOES.>The Roman poet Juvenal understood something that modern economists tend to forget: bread is not a commodity. It is a social contract. When governments can no longer honor that contract, the contract breaks. >>2743498they always wanted a war with iran, but with the US doing the heavy lifting. They just had never managed to get the US to do it until now
>>2743492>israel was a strategic interest, no

Ben Shapiro blames the resignation of Joe Kent, formerly the Trump administration's director of the National Counterterrorism Center, on. Conspiracy "brain rot." And Jew Hatred
BEN SHAPIRO: Well, this morning Joe Kent quit his job at the National Counterterrorism Center and issued a scathing letter designed to undermine President Trump.
The letter is deeply, deeply conspiratorial. It states openly that, quote, “Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”
Now, that is conspiracy trash.
It’s also kind of strange since President Trump has said that it’s conspiracy trash. So apparently Trump is so deeply, deeply enthralled to those strange, powerful American lobbies — we’re not gonna say it, we’re not gonna say it, we’re not gonna say that he apparently has been so bamboozled by them that he’s still under the impression that he’s his own man.
But here’s the thing: President Trump is his own man. He makes his own decisions. And as per our usual arrangement, Trump’s critics are cowards who are simply unwilling to acknowledge that Trump is the one making the call.
But Joe Kent continued, quote: “Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pre-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed imminent threat to the United States and that, should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie, and it’s the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women.”
Again, the idea here seems to be that President Trump is a moron misled into war by nefarious Israelis and unnamed influential members of the American media. Don’t say it, don’t say it.
Again, apparently President Trump has no agency and no thoughts.
Kent’s letter is replete with this conspiratorial idiocy, including — as we just saw — the idea that it was Israel that forced the original Iraq war, an idea totally and utterly unsupportable by any evidence, given the fact that the actual prime minister of Israel at the time, Ariel Sharon, opposed the Iraq war.
This stuff is brain rot.
Now listen, we should all be thankful for Joe Kent’s long and honorable military service. We can also be glad that he’s leaving, since his ideology is the same as that of Tucker Carlson — the guy who says that the war is disgusting and evil and who has been busy sexting with the mullahs.
Tucker Carlson calls Kent a personal friend and, quote, “the bravest man I know.”
Frankly, I think that it is a good thing that Kent is not in this position. We cannot have a director of counterterrorism who is somehow advocating preemptive surrender to the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism in the middle of a war.
>>2743523who the fuck cares what ben shapiro say? fuck off retard
>>2743427Why do you keep posting this video?
>>2743534I post it when people say that this war has nothing to do with Israel and that Israel is simply a puppet of the United States or when they call people anti-semitic for mentioning Israel's power that they have are influence. I want to see them. Call Norman anti-semitic or call him /pol/
There are a few posters here that are just dedicated relentlessly to arguing that Israel has no influence and is just a little puppet.
>>2743523>MUH BEN SHAPIRONobody cares. Go back from whence you came twitter peruser.
>>2743536>>2743536>>2743536wow you sound like an insufferable debate addict if that's the case.

i will keep saying bibi is dead
>>2743651it will eventually be true
they're calling the IRI the hydra
>>2743672is anyone concerned at the level of intel it would take for these kinds of strikes?
>>2743410some are also saying they are telling jolani to stay out of it. perhaps hearing israel literally say "turkey is next after iran" has a way of focusing minds
>>2743672Damn, again?
How many civil wars did they have last month?
>>2743200I've had a theory for a while that part of the psychological justification for conservatives is convincing themselves that the absurdities of capitalism are outright necessities and not a completely artificial form of suffering imposed for no reason. Like, Insulin costs upwards of a $100 because it costs that much and not because companies want to squeeze you for as much money as possible.
If they admit that their family died for literally zero reason, at zero benefit to themselves, and protected no one than that would crush them far more than just "Durr, he was protecting us!"
>>2743672Or maybe they will simply appoint new people, you know. Like in every other country.
>>2743678That's not the most likely option, but we will have to see what this policy will look like in action
>>2743679what about the idea that communist countries need to actively shield their people from the outside influences of 'capitalism' so they don't start thinking the grass is greener?
>>2743683Not easy to do in the Middle of a war, Larijani was the one running shit throughout this whole conflict, unless a proper new leader can be found the official policy is these IRGC commander focusing on their own defence
>>2743679And how did you convince yourself?
>>2743672why would that be the case? why did this not already happen when previous Iranian heads of state where killed?
>>2743506people said mena and africa were going to collapse because of the ukraine war and didn't happen
I don't want to be pessimistic, but all assassinations reported by Israel turned out to be true. Sinwar, Nasrallah, Khamenei, their deaths were first announced by Israel, and later they all turned out to be true.
RIP if true.
we've been over this before. Iran has prepared itself against this decapitation strategy. they established a horizontal hierarchy/ command structure whatever. why are people dooming this time?
>>2743672Given Iran is currently being bombed by its traditional enemies, wouldn't it make sense for the IRGC commanders to at least communicate rather than trying to rip the country apart further? Like even if you become "le chief warlord" or whatever, Israel would just try to murder you next.
>>2743685I mean, the history of western influence within Communist states is complicated. There's an "image" the West presents in its media that's far from the reality of living here. Like often enough you don't see working class characters in an American show really struggle to own a home or afford rent or pay bills, and if they do its often to end with this triumph where through grit or sheer luck everything ends up well for them. Shit like vast homeless encampments or people dying of opiates on the street is kept mostly off camera or used for style, its not treated as something people are actually
living through. Homelessness isn't seen as something that can happen to real people, only maybe 1-dimensional characters.
So Capitalist states would present a glossy image of themselves, and given most Communist states historically emerged against the backdrop of devastating wars (both civil and otherwise) and America hasn't actually had a military conflict within its borders for well over a century, its naturally a battle between trying to fix what you have
right here even if it means short term sacrifices, and a state that's already developed and peaceful. If you're convinced that you can rent an apartment in New York while merely being a comedian like Seinfeld then why would you want to clean up rubble from a war?
