Really nice looking Iranian missile here.
http://youtu.be/hD-G-u9PkEU I can't believe these Aussie warmongers think that we can take on China with western weapons. These people are off the planet, I've been saying for years western weapons are junk. Our 'so-called' 'adversaries' have found ways around them enough to make them 'expensive and useless'.

Double blow for Trump as Iran launches 4,000-km missiles; US lifts oil sanction | Janta Ka Reporter
http://youtu.be/Vuaqcuh7A3M Good clip at 5m 0s in video above of Scott Bessant explaining how Trump ordered the economic attack on Iran's currency to trigger protests. Maria: What do you want to say about sanctions, Something else you've been working on of course, what are you planning there in terms of Iran and the impact there? Do sanctions actually work? and the same question with regard to 500% secondary sanctions or tariffs on countries who purchase energy products from Russia. Bessant: "Okay, so two two things there. There are Treasury sanctions and if you look at a speech that I gave at the Economic Club of New York last March, I said that I believe the Iranian currency was on the verge of collapse. That if I were an Iranian citizen, I would take my money out. President Trump ordered Treasury and our OFFAC division, Office of Foreign Asset Control to put maximum pressure on Iran and it's worked because in December their economy collapsed. We saw a major bank go under. The central bank has started to print money. There is a dollar shortage. They are not able to get imports and this is why the people took to the street. So this is economic statecraft. - No shots fired and things are moving in a very positive way here." The U.S. and Israel caused all of this, from the protests onwards. Iran just proven they can hit Dimona nuclear plant if they chose to, and there's no unblocking Hormuz without many people dying, and they still don't have the 460kg enriched nuclear material or regime change. Good clip at 11 minutes of Tucker Carlson answering the question 'Does Israel have a right to exist?'. It's really a 2-part trick question. The moment you say 'they do have a right to exist', they then make the follow on argument that Israel THEREFORE 'has a right to defend itself', and then somehow we end up at genocide for ethnic cleansing and religious-based land theft...

Trump blinked
Trump postpones strikes on Iranian power plants for a five day period http://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/mar/23/middle-east-crisis-live-iea-chief-says-iran-war-energy-crunch-worse-than-1970s-oil-crises-and-ukraine-war-combined >>The US president, Donald Trump, has said he has instructed the defence department to postpone all airstrikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five day period. This is subject to the “success” of ongoing “meetings and discussions”, he said in a Truth Social post.<< What does this mean? It means Iran has escalation dominance, and anything America does will result in it being smacked across the face. Posted by Armchair Critic, Monday, 23 March 2026 10:30:21 PM

Hi AC,
I would think there would be "words" exchanged between Dangerous Doctor Donald and his "friends", both in the middle east, forget the Zionists with their A bombs, and elsewhere. Diplomatic words like; " DONALD! What the F@@K do you think you are doing with this lousy war!"...."OK! blast a few peasants, who cares, but these Iranians are serious, they might KILL US!".

'is shi'ite islam extremist?'
Extremist Groups: Specific organizations, most notably Hezbollah, have been designated as terrorist groups due to their use of violence and suicide bombings.
Targeted Actions: Shia extremist groups often employ tactics like targeted assassinations for specific political gains, distinguishing them from the high-casualty, broad-target tactics often used by some Sunni extremist groups.
Not Theology-Based: Experts suggest that the violent actions of these groups are generally not inherent to the theological doctrines of Shia Islam itself.
Inter-Sectarian Tensions: Many Shia Muslims are often victims of extremism, particularly from hardline Salafi and Wahhabi Sunni militants.
In summary, extremism within Shi'ite communities is generally linked to political, regional, and ideological conflict rather than the faith itself, representing a minority subset of the population
'is sunni islam exremist'
Mainstream Sunni Islam: The vast majority of Sunnis follow traditional schools of jurisprudence and reject the extremist ideology of violent militant groups.
Extremist Minorities: Radical groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIS stem from a "Salafi-Jihadist" sub-group. They hold a strict, literalist ideology (often rooted in Wahhabism/Salafism) that calls for violence, which is fundamentally different from mainstream Sunni beliefs.
Not Representative: The acts of extremists are not representative of Sunni Islam as a whole, which is a diverse tradition.
Theological Misuse: Extremists often use takfir (declaring other Muslims infidels) to justify violence against anyone who does not follow their extreme interpretations.
Now google 'Did Iran fight against ISIS'
Yes, Iran played a major role in fighting ISIS (ISIL) in Iraq and Syria, viewing the group as a major national security threat
. Iran provided military advisors, weapons, and funding to local forces, and operated through aligned Shia militias—notably the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF)—to secure key victories, often operating in parallel to U.S.-led coalition efforts.
