    (That’s the point).

    Been saying since the start: Iran is likely in on all this

    • IRGC Coup – The IRGC has LONG been wanting to make a move over the Ayatollah. Now the new Ayatollah is a sockpuppet and the IRGC has completely taken over by way of coup.

    • Quelled Civil Unrest – Prior to this conflict, civil unrest in Iran was heavily mounting. Thousands upon thousands out on the street. Now Iranian dissidents hopeful for being rescued were baited out of their homes, only to be slaughtered the first time Trump left them hanging, and the second time Israel and USA suddenly became the new threat and rallied the masses around while also indicating nobody was actually coming to save them from the tyranny within.

    • Superficial Damage – Most damage done to Iran has largely been superficial for media optics. Even their nuclear program has largely remained intact.

    • New Cashflow – Not only has this massively benefitted Russia with lifted oil sanctions, the IRGC got a massive injection into their own economy, both with the new toll system but also the literal cited fucking article above.

    Meanwhile Trump doesn’t give a shit. His goal as a Trojan Orange has been a success.
