I think I stumbled on an old image from 2017 of the Iranian clone of the RQ-170 at the #UAV testing base outside of Kashan, Iran.
I've never seen it posted before. I would like opinions.
🚨President Trump speaking on a telerally tonight says the U.S. will declare "total victory" over Iran in two weeks.
"You're really going to win it over the next two weeks when we declare total victory. It will be a total victory and it will happen very soon."
@BrettErickson28 The blockade failed because we left their ship to ship transfer capabilities and oil storage. If we deleted that, we'd already be done here. The failure is Trump who didn't finish the job.

לפי דיווח בסוכנות מהר, חברת הפטרוכימיה קארון במאהשַהר שבמחוז ח׳וזסתאן הותקפה לפני זמן קצר מן האוויר ונפגעה מחימושים שיוחסו לישראל. סגן המושל לענייני ביטחון במחוז מסר כי חלק מן המתקן ניזוק.
בשלב זה טרם נמסרו פרטים מלאים על היקף הנזק או על נפגעים אפשריים, והתקשורת האיראנית הודיעה כי פרטים נוספים יפורסמו בהמשך.
BREAKING: Dozens of Christians were massacred in Ethiopia over the course of the last week by Islamists.
Tens of thousands of Christians have been slaughtered by Islamists across Africa, and the world doesn’t seem to care.
Those press readouts from President Trump look like they may have been a diversion after all. Good cop, bad cop. The president disclaims responsibility publicly while Israel attacks.
Iranian official: A deal with President Trump is no longer feasible at this stage.
The official blamed Trump for the current escalation, warned that any new Israeli strike on Beirut would trigger immediate missile retaliation, and said Iran will no longer accept Washington’s position on Lebanon or frozen reconstruction funds.
@cyberecho70035 there is a line where you push them into negotiation where they're forced to make hard concessions to survive (oil storage) but darkness would be too far where the need for full scale conflict might be the only out for them.
At this point, Israel should target all the oil storage infrastructure in Iran it can in one massive strike. That would help Trump get his "deal" but he himself is too stupid to figure out the benefit Israel can hand him. Netanyahu has to defy Trump but when he does benefit him.
This is a misstep by the president. Netanyahu has to strike back — for many reasons including domestic Israeli politics. On top of that, it is in the U.S. interest they he strike back.
@GenFlynn Trump's groveling for a deal is the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen in Middle East foreign policy. He never should have stopped attacking them, that's the leverage to make them make deals that matter. I don't even think Obama would be this pussified.
@Justabaldguy1@EndGameWW3 I voted for Trump 3x, I can't argue with the fact he's a pussy and his foreign policy is worse than I could have ever imagined.
I do not believe this, but Israel should have made it look like it. Immediate reply to Iranian oil storage before Trump could even comment; then it would have looked like it.
Iran just walked straight into a trap.
Trump wasn’t negotiating — he was baiting them.
The regime actually believed they were strong enough to break the ceasefire and push the world around. Big mistake.
Now any heavy response from Israel or the US will look completely justified. Iran opened the door themselves.
The game is over. The endgame has begun
