The end of Iran as we know it?

[Rebel5soul]

I've seen reports of 2000 killings of protestors in the streets by the Mullah's police.

I've read lows of 500 to highs of 12,000. 2000 seems to be a consensus number.

I read today that Trump has moved our troops out of some Middle East bases. Could be a precursor to another strike on Iran by us, the Israelis, or both.

Something's being planned. I think it's safe to rule out 'boots on the ground' type action.

Will the president do the right thing? Lol!

Question marks, not facts. Insinuation is the playground of the political scum.

Yes, it was a question due to the at the end. More than likely though is that trump didn't know or doesn't care.

Quit blindly defending pedo rapists, .

Iranians name a street after Trump:

Iranian protesters rename Tehran street after Trump, plead ‘don’t let them kill us’ amid crackdown​

January 7, 2026
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Iranian protesters intensified nationwide demonstrations over the past 24 hours, directly appealing to President Donald Trump while chanting anti-regime slogans. Footage published Wednesday showed a protester in Tehran symbolically renaming a street after Trump, while other videos captured handwritten appeals reading, “Don’t let them kill us,” Iran International reported.

Holly Dagres a senior fellow at the Washington Insistute posted the video on X stating, “Since Trump’s comments about the Iran protests, I’ve seen numbers videos of Iranian protesters either thanking him or, in this case, renaming streets after the US president.”

The appeals came as demonstrators faced a widening security crackdown, including the deployment of armed units and tear gas near major civilian sites in Tehran.

Donald Trump is a political phenomenon, everywhere. PBD Podcast is showing videos of people putting up Trump street signs in Tehran. He will be seen in American history as the most transformative president. He will rank behind George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. That's right, I'm going there.

Trump was warned that the attack on Iran wouldn't guarantee a regime change.

He did it anyways because he never listens to people smarter than him. Like you.

Iranian Oil production is only half what it was 30 years ago but still accounts for more than 10% of International Oil Trade. However, its infrastructure is in good shape, unlike Venezuela's which has not been maintained for 25 years. Given that Trump's primary motive in Foreign policy is how much money he and his family can make out of it, he probably will not want the military to destroy that potential.

You are one lying piece of shit.

Trump and his staff are mapping their way on how to make a meaningful difference that does NOT include boots on the ground.

Donald Trump has no plan for Iran.

Would aerial bombing alone do it?

Troops generally move out of their bases before they strike.

Donald Trump has no plan for Iran.

Mostly correct. His plan is to maximize the $ he and his family can milk from any crisis, whilst expecting citizens and taxpayers to pay with their lives and taxes.

This isn't the Libyan Civil War -- bombing from the air won't help the rebels, because they don't really have any rebellion going on yet.

Iran Revolutionary Guard commander says ‘finger on the trigger’ as US ‘armada’ heads toward Middle East
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard commander on Saturday said the country has its “finger on the trigger” at the U.S. after President Trump said an “armada” will head toward the Middle East.

“The Islamic Revolutionary Guard and dear Iran stand more ready than ever, finger on the trigger, to execute the orders and directives of the Commander-in-Chief,” Gen. Mohammad Pakpour said according to Nournews, a news outlet with ties to Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.
Pakpour also warned the U.S. and Israel “to avoid any miscalculation.”

On Thursday, Trump told reporters on Air Force One that the U.S. is sending an “armada” to the region in response to Iranian troops cracking down on massive anti-government protests. The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency stated on Friday that over 5,100 Iranians have been killed as part of the crackdown.

Trump said he stopped Iran from executing 837 people, having previously warned the U.S. will take military action if people were killed. He urged demonstrators in Tehran to “take over” the country’s institutions in a Truth Social post, where he also announced that he called off meetings with Iranian officials.

What are Trump’s limited but dangerous options in Iran?
Iran has responded with symbolic defiance. A new mural unveiled in central Tehran depicts damaged aircraft on the deck of an aircraft carrier, accompanied by the warning: “If you sow the wind, you will reap the whirlwind.”

A Crisis Moves Underground
The confrontation between America and Iran has again entered a volatile phase after ending a short-lived lull that briefly suggested both sides were stepping back from the brink. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has reportedly moved into a fortified underground complex in Tehran which is complete with interconnected tunnels that are designed to survive air strikes. The immediate trigger has been a sharp exchange of warnings between Iran and the United States. US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that the United States has an "armada" heading toward Iran but hoped he would not have to use it, as he renewed warnings to Tehran against killing protesters or restarting its nuclear program. The deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln strike group has reinforced the message that military options are firmly on the table, even if no decision has yet been taken.

We need to overhaul our legacy media institutions. They no longer reflect the American people or the founding principles of the republic.

You have NO idea what you're talking about there!

We can tell because you're a RW talking about "the founding principle of the republic."
