50 years to the day

[summit]

Well, Izzies continue to take out targets including weapons storage and underground facilities. They've destroyed the Iranian nuclear weapons program data archives, which in combination with killing nuclear scientists and destroying facilities, really helps kick that can down the road. But they definitively need to hit enrichment facilities and enriched Uranium stores and make a godawful mess, preferably with combustion. That will help bigly.

Meanwhile, Erdogan promises a massive medium and long range missile buildup. He doesn't want to end up like Iran. Turkey has a real air force unlike Iran, is NATO, and above all, Erdogan is a pretty rational if extremely self-interested guy, unlike the Ayatollas, who think they were chosen by the Prophet himself.

Israeli Drone over Tehran. Stupid Fuckers are helpless.
Initially id say Israel couldn’t keep an air cap over Iran forever, but with drones there days who knows. I think they hit everything and pack up before turkey or Russia gets too pissed. Finding all those missles will be tough.

I bet Israel has some commando raids, possibly. And possibly turkey trys to close air bridge.

B-21 is still in test. Wiki says three airframes so far.

[Cono Este]

Still not over. They could have been just depleting the iron dome batteries, could have a nuke. Summit makes a good point bout our bunker buster.

Seems something is happening. Could have a closi g wi Dow of time with turkey, or other Arab countries. Surprised some of them aren’t freakin out more.

[summit]

The knots some media types are twisting themselves into to paint a picture of "poor Iran, nowhere near a bomb, not even wanting a bomb" is truly mindblowing. NPR has had multiple apologists for the Islamic Republic wailing about how Iran is getting beaten up, downplaying their retaliations, and claiming "oh the only alternative to immediate peace is a giant forever war worse that Iraq!" and other giblets of propoganda like "this is just to distract from Gaza!"

CNN can in one breath claim "US intelligence says Iran is many years from a deliverable bomb" while in the next paragraph saying "US experts admit Iran could be mere months from a nuclear bomb" but then breathlessly hand wave away the danger by saying "it could take years for Iran to have a delivery method" as if they couldn't put in a shipping container and send it to whatever city they want.

CNN is even credulously quoting Tulsi Gabbard saying "Iran is not close to a nuke", and even Trump says he literally "doesn't care" what Gabbard said because he knows "Iran is close."

When Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and Tulsi Gabbard and Iran are on one side of an argument, and Israel is on the other side, where do NPR and CNN end up? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

For fucks sakes, the media is portraying this as though there had been decades of peace between all parties suddenly shattered by an Israeli sneak attack on par with Pearl Harbor, and they are even saying "well nobody should expect nuclear negotiations to have any progress for years, it is unreasonable to act after only months." Yea, experts including IAEA are telling you Iran could have ~10 nukes in a year but the plan has to be to allow them to stall on negotiations for years?

The almost automatic direction the media has taken on this is just fucking pathetic. Why do I keep using Reuters, AP, CNN, and NPR when I can myself see their bullshit for what it is and it doesn't even require subject matter knowledge, just basic critical thinking?

[m2711c]

Maybe take a break from the doom scrolling for a bit, dude.

[summit]

I hope Trump has the B-2s MOP up Fordow, Nantanz, remaining drone and BM factories, and the Ayatollahs, then offer a peace deal.

The truth is we were always on the clock for when we had to neutralize Iran's weapons programs while waiting for their people to tire of Islamist patriarchy.

[summit]

Is listening to NPR on the way to work Doom Scrolling? Is reading mainstream news articles on a lunch break doomscrolling?

Because not paying any attention at all is sticking your head in the sand.

[RTsucks]

The question that remains: who will buy enough crypto and say 'thank you trump you are very, very nice and the strongest man I've ever met, like stronger than anyone would ever believe was even possible, and nicer too' to be the new king of iran? One of the techbros? I mean, where else can they build nukes with relative impunity? Just wondering about the endgame.

[MultiVerse]

"While the world is fixated on the war between Iran and Israel, Hamas is using the distraction to unleash a new wave of bloodshed inside Gaza. They are hunting down unarmed Palestinians, dragging them from aid lines, torturing them in basements, and executing them in broad daylight.

Anyone suspected of working with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is now a target. People who handed out bread and water are being tied up, shot in the streets, or denied medical care by force. In several cases, Hamas fighters stormed hospitals to finish the job, threatening doctors and pulling wounded men from the emergency room to deliver the final bullet, people accused of stealing end up dying under torture or at IC unit.

The evidence is overwhelming. Videos show bodies with their hands bound. Men stripped and beaten. Gunshots inside makeshift clinics. Faces crushed, limbs broken, people turned into examples. The message is clear: help the hungry, and you die."

I listen to NPR for 45mins each morning while working out in my garage. Including this morning. I do not remember any report saying Iran was the victim, or really anything that you said above.

[PNWbrit]

Morning Edition in car for for 30 minutes and I also "do not remember any report saying Iran was the victim, or really anything that you said above."

Or on CNN yesterday evening.

No, it is not. And if that’s what you’re doing then you’re probably fine. But that’s not what you were stating earlier. You listed a whole alphabet of news organizations that you were critical of. I assume that meant that you were consuming all of that news. I never said sticking your head in the sand was a viable option.

[Cono Este]

Fuck these maga fucks. It’s like they were born yesterday, and don’t realize all the dead marines Iran gave us.

Dumb red necks already have a bad sunburn.

This is the most righteous operation in 50 yrs, I still can’t believe it’s happening, fuck them.

[Bunion 2020]

^^^ aged like warm milk..... If there is a Nuclear exchange or the US gets dragged into this clusterfuck I better be able to go to the Father Daughter dance.

• President Donald Trump is considering whether to launch a military strike against Iran, current and former administration officials told NBC News.
• Trump warned Irans leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, that he is an easy target and our patience is wearing thin.
• Trump demanded Tehran surrender in its escalating conflict with Israel.

OUR? WTF does that mean?

[summit]

Yea NPR

NPR

I listened to NPR 1A today and it was exactly as I described as they interviewed the head of the Iran Podcast. She among other things, after minimikzing the number of Israelis injured as "a few hundred" (it's 590) after giving exact Iranian government figures, then implied Iran had no military ambitions for their nuclear program but maybe they would make a bomb in the future because of Israel trying to stop them.
https://the1a.org/segments/israel-st...ive-broadcast/

A few days ago it was Morning Edition interviewing Trita Parsi, a well known Islamic Republic apologist who masqeurades under a nice sounding "think tank." But he has been a known quantity for many years and is reviled by Iranian refugees as he even tows the Iranian government line white washing the regimes mass murder of political prisoners. He's not a credible interviewee. Highly biased...
https://www.npr.org/2025/06/13/nx-s1...lomacy-efforts

Here is CNN twisting themselves into knots to imply Israel is just making the nuclear threat up and its no worry because Iran is "years way" from a delivery method, total BS: https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/17/polit...nce-years-away

I'm not making this shit up. If you aren't hearing it, well, maybe you aren't tuning in? Maybe it is just lucky timing for each of us? But I can back up what I said.

[summit]

And for the record, if you are gonna bring in biased interviewees, that can be good journalism, IF
1. You identify their biases
2. Call them out on BS
3. Provide a balanced journalistic perspective by bringing in the other side

But that is not what I've seen NPR doing when it comes to Israel.

My guy, they also interviewed the Israeli's UN ambassador too. On the same day. On the same program. So yeah, they do bring in both sides.

[RTsucks]

Get the fuck out of here cono. You damn well know operation condor was the most righteous operation in 50 years.

[summit]

If I was in charge of the Israeli attack, and the the US told me no MOPs for the deep nuclear targets, I'd make it sound 100% inevitable the US would strike to get the Iranians to move critical things out of the bunker where it could be struck by the less capable Israelis.

So maybe this is a ruse... but it looks pretty rowdy... uh... things are about to get... interesting if you believe the OSINT.

Germany's chancellor saying Israel is doing the West's dirty work for them.
Trump is excluding Tulsi Gabbard, isolationist Russian asset, from meetings and she is threatening to resign.
Trump is saying the time has come to defend the world.
Netanyahu had a security conference followed by US Israeli coordination calls.
Russia isn't doing anything for Iran, just like they abandoned Syria.
Someone took out the Fordow IADS.
Khomemei supposedly is in a bunker, the replacement IRGC leaders are running the show.
Iranians including current military are agitating against the regime.
The US has shifted position dozens of tankers and stealth fighter bombers into CENTCOM AOR (the middle east).
Waning crescent tomorrow night.

Well, it won't take but a few days of US air campaign before we can hand it back over to regional powers.

[Cono Este]

RT, I disagree. If you paid attention, you’ll know what my 40 yr history with that country has taught me, they don’t want, need anyone in their business.

Hard to say we can’t help, womt help, when the commies were down there meddling around themselves. But no one will talk about the all the 18 yr old conscripts gunned down, PNW wont.

[m2711c]

bless your heart.

Watching Cono go from “I learned my lesson after being wrong on Iraq; No more wars! Don’t support Ukraine, end the war!” To bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran. Is entertaining.

This war started in 1979, I think they all lived to my street fleeing.

Beirut bombings. Etc. sadr city. We should have invaded Iran, not Iraq.

I find it amazing Saudi Arabia, Jordan etc are not going insane. That’s the difference between a president that can grease palms, and a vegetable.
