Iran

Don't worry. Tom Brady will run for president, win, and calm all international unrest.

So...nothing. It was an inside job and the Saudi's were glad to help. If you don't believe it, look up lucky Larry and follow the money.

😂 of course, a conspiracy theory.

So why Saudi Arabia can be trusted but Iran cannot?

The expression that there’s no such thing as a stupid question has been proven by you to be false quite often.
Couldn’t you have looked it up yourself?

Energy and Economic Ties
    • Oil Security: Saudi Arabia manages massive global petroleum reserves, helping stabilize energy prices and ensuring oil is transacted globally. [1, 2]
    • Investment Commitments: The Kingdom pledged nearly $1 trillion in investments directed toward U.S. infrastructure, technology, and manufacturing. [1]
    • Commercial Partnerships: Large-scale defense and civilian technology agreements, such as the 30-year civil nuclear framework, ensure Saudi contracts go to American firms instead of competitors like China. [1, 2]

Geopolitical and Defense Cooperation
    • Regional Deterrence: Washington views Riyadh as a key anchor for stability and counter-terrorism in the Middle East, reinforced by major arms sales and defense coordination. [1, 2]
    • Countering Adversaries: Close ties prevent regional rivals and global competitors, such as China and Russia, from gaining exclusive strategic footholds in the Persian Gulf. [1]
    • Diplomatic Alignment: The U.S. relies on Saudi influence to pursue broader Middle East integration and diplomatic milestones with Israel. [1]You
  • Regional Security: The U.S. and Saudi Arabia partner closely to counter Iran, which has driven massive U.S. arms agreements to support Gulf defense. [1, 2]
  • Diplomatic Goals: Saudi cooperation is viewed as the key to broader Arab-Israeli normalization (like discussions involving the Abraham Accords). [1, 2]
Now don’t go off on another unrelated tangent again after I owned you.

Of course Trump doesn't want to bomb infrastructure, but that doesn't mean the Iran strategy is good. I agree with not bombing infrastructure in principal, but we have failed to bomb military / nuclear targets. We failed to establish any control over the straight by leaving coastal defenses alone till it was too late. We let ships mine the waters, iran is still launching missiles and drones effectively, and we haven't touched pickaxe mountain where Iran is believed to have moved their centrifuges too. Trump has also stated this was going to be over very quick and we pretty much have no end in sight. Trump has been all over the place with his rhetoric which has not helped the cause. Iran is definitely a complicated issue, but we are wasting tons of money and getting soldiers killed. We either need to **** or get off the pot. Iran is not just gong to give in if we half *** everything.

This is what makes a free society great and this forum so excellent.

An expert who has devoted a lifetime to a differential understanding of how the world really works, explaining the underpinnings of the British colonial ( the WEF) financial/central banking/insurance cabal that funds Neverending wars on a global basis, the economics, the politics, the policy and the fog of war --- can be debated by a consumer of mainstream media output.

Instead of attempting to understand the context of the Administration's policy decisions that have led to Panama Canal/Venezuela control and now to American control of the globe's marginal supply of its most valuable commodity we can experience how easily the folk get manipulated.

Folks who watch the news easily understand strategy, policy, engagement and negotiation to be able, in real time like an opinion poll, to criticize an ongoing situation that is not to their liking/mass media indoctrination.

It is possible to be a critic of say, American military targeting, or lack thereof, of Pickaxe Mountain, a name that only just got mentioned to the press 11 days ago. Either a poster here has deep strategic understanding that was just publicly acknowledged by the CIC to the press 11 days ago, or we have evidence of how spoonfeeding works.

It's a great time to be alive.

You failed to address why a nation of Islamic fundamentalists practicing sharia law can be trusted with enriched uranium but Iran cannot.

Nieve? I question that, I’d be naive not to.

Ddddeeerrrrpppp. Power plants use much lower grade uranium than weapons require.

Do you even read the links you cut/paste:

"The country also had a major programme developing uranium enrichment, which it concealed for many years."

Read the fourth bullet point and then read it again and then google “who was President in 2018”.
