Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on the Iranian regime:
"Iran reminds me of when I was a kid in South Carolina. We ended up with poison snakes in our yard. You'd cut the head off, but the tail kept wiggling. You have to bury the head of the snake."
"We are burying the head of the Iranian snake. The snake doesn't know it's dead yet, but it will stop wiggling when the sun goes down."
"The Iranian regime, they are demised. And they will figure it out."
🚨 The Islamic Republic’s massive Hormuz minefield was largely a bluff built on decoys, while even the real mines were reportedly poorly deployed.
According to reporting cited by @SullyCNBC, shipowners said many suspected mines were decoys, including inflated trash bags.
Separate reporting citing U.S. officials said more than 200 mine-like objects were cleared from the main shipping lane, but only around 11 were actual mines, with few properly deployed.
This is how the Islamic Republic operates. Psychological warfare, posturing and manufactured displays of strength are central to its playbook, from grandiose slogans and choreographed military spectacles to exaggerated threats and cheap decoys designed to scare the world.
In Hormuz, it worked. A small number of real mines mixed with decoys frightened shipowners, drove up war-risk insurance and helped choke commercial traffic.
The Islamic Republic didn’t need to control Hormuz. It needed the world to believe it did.

المرشحه في حزب الديمقراطيون الفلسطينية الاسرائيلية سُمية بشير تقول عن إسرائيل :
هذا بيتُنا. وهذه دولتُنا. وهذا وطنُنا. وليس لنا وطنٌ آخر. معًا... حتى النصر.
تصريح يختصر واقعاً يهرب منه الكثيرون : أصحاب القضية يمارسون البراغماتية بأعلى صورها ويندمجون في اسرائيل بينما يتفرغ الخطاب الشعبي للتخوين وعزف نغمة (العرب باعوا القضية )
@Ahmedahusseiny لماذا يعتبر "التفريط بالثروات" عندما يريد الامريكان الاستثمار في ثروات اوكرانيا؟ الاتفاق الامريكي الاوكراني بعده قائم و لم يلغى، و الامريكا مستمرين في مشروع الاستثمار بالمعادن النادرة.
