If I were you, I would find in tiresome too.

You have yet to prove and we have yet to see if the largest sponsor of terrorism will disappear at the end of the this fiasco. I anticipate the Iranians believe in the next man up philosophy when it comes to their theocracy and terrorism just as much as you and I do when it comes to UT sports.

Polls tend to show the vast majority of Iranians prefer secularism rather than theocracy. This is one example

Try to get this through your thick skull one last time, Juicebox:

YES, we are winning the tactical military battles. However, we are LOSING the strategic war altogether.

* Strait of Hormuz CLOSED
* Nuclear Program STILL THERE
* Regime Change NOW MORE EXTREMIST

If you can't comprehend the difference and how the *strategic* part of the equation is most important, there's no helping you.

I know you are pissed. Under what metric is this war been a failure? If you examine this conflict with any in the history of the United States, you will not find a more successful operation. If you say otherwise you are a mental defective or a straight up liar.

Kuwait says IRGC 'infiltrators' tried to attack island with China-backed port project, 4 arrested​

Kuwait says IRGC 'infiltrators' tried to attack island with China-backed port project, 4 arrested

Kuwait announced Tuesday it arrested four "infiltrators" who allegedly confessed to belonging to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and attempting to enter Bubiyan Island by sea to carry out "hostile acts," according to government statements.
Kuwait's ministries of defense and foreign affairs said the group clashed with Kuwaiti Armed Forces on May 1, wounding two of the "infiltrators" and one Kuwaiti service member.
During an interrogation, the group allegedly confessed to belonging to the IRGC and "confessed to being tasked with infiltrating Bubiyan Island aboard a fishing boat that had been specially chartered to carry out hostile acts against Kuwait," the defense ministry said, according to a translation.
The foreign affairs ministry "emphasizes the State of Kuwait's demand that the Islamic Republic of Iran immediately and unconditionally cease its unlawful hostile acts that threaten the security and stability of the region and undermine regional and international efforts aimed at de-escalation," according to its statement.
It added that Kuwait "reserves its full and inherent right to self-defense in accordance with Article (51) of the United Nations Charter, and to take such measures as it deems appropriate to defend its sovereignty and protect its people and residents on its territories, in accordance with international law."
Bubiyan Island hosts Mubarak Al Kabeer Port, which is being built as part of China’s “Belt and Road” initiative, according to The Associated Press.
Tuesday's allegation brought by Kuwait comes as President Donald Trump is expected to visit Beijing to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week.

As Iran’s economy sinks, hardliners turn to conspiracy

As prices continue to soar across Iran, hardline clerics and pro-government figures are increasingly attempting to shift blame away from the state even as economic pressure deepens for ordinary citizens.
www.iranintl.com www.iranintl.com

Earlier in the week, Hossein Shariatmadari, editor of the hardline daily Kayhan, wrote that “rising prices and hoarding are the products of the enemy’s infiltration in the government.”

While Iran’s armed forces were “working miracles,” he argued, the economy had been left undefended, allowing enemies to undermine battlefield gains.

Miracles? Battlefield gains?

Delusional propaganda.

Good. The Department of Education is one of the largest terrorist organizations in the world. The NEA should be labeled a terrorist organization as well. They are both a crime against America.

Please seek psychological help.

I'm blocking you heretofore - rather than waste my time with you - as you are seriously off your rocker.

What the population wants is inconsequential until they decide to rise up against the leadership. They are a theocracy and will continue to be so until a completely different type of leader takes charge or the population takes that over.

I’m mainly responding to you stating “the Iranians believe in the next man up when it comes to their theocracy”. If by that you mean the government, agreed. If you mean the people, disagree

I think it’s worth distinguishing because many falsely see the Iranian public as pro Muslim theocracy
