🇮🇷 An Iranian Majlis representative confirms full consensus across government, military, and top system levels: the Strait of Hormuz will never return to its pre-war status.

"The permanent passage of Israeli ships through the strait will be banned — for all of history, under our management."

Legislation being finalized includes:

➡️ Transit & pilotage tolls on all vessels ➡️ Pollution levies ➡️ Mandatory "Persian Gulf" designation for transiting ships ➡️ Permanent Israeli shipping ban

Full details to be released after parliamentary approval.

The "mandatory Persian Gulf designation" has me cackling. Absolutely humiliate the Arab monarchies and their revisionist bullshit attempts at changing that Persian Gulf's historical name.

🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 — NEW | The terrorist US military used the new PRSM missile for the first time in their attack on the city of Lamerd.

This missile explodes above the target, dispersing thousands of fragments in residential areas.

In this horrific crime, at least 21 compatriots, including 4 children who were playing, were martyred.

Chechen military units have announced their readiness to deploy to Iran to support the Iranian armed forces in the event of a US ground invasion, according to reports.

The forces, loyal to Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of Russia's Chechen Republic, describe the ongoing American-Israeli war against the Islamic Republic of Iran as a religious war.

They describe their possible direct intervention as a jihad - a battle of good versus evil - in defense of the Islamic Republic of Iran against American and allied forces.

Expand informative shitpost

: you said there would be questions

: i have a great one. vietnam imports all its oil & goo from over there so when the strait closes you're SCREWED.

: i was promised a softball #cloutmaxxing interview... very well. your “oil & goo” lumps crude with finished products & confuses supply chains that were separated years ago. nghi son refinery runs at 105 percent capacity & long son petrochemical complex supplies 70 percent of domestic polyolefin + the crude comes from bach ho & ca mau fields without foreign military garrisons + integration with china’s refining network along the beibu gulf creates shared inventory & pipeline redundancy + phan rang complex & the new hung yen power to hydrogen facility store renewable energy as fertilizer feedstock, decoupling power from spot markets. that is the architecture of resilience

: architecture? i have architecture. it’s called a desk. okay okay but everybody gets gas from cutar or kawtar or kutter, that little thumb country on the map right? i saw a documentary. it was about camels. i think.

: vietnam does not rely on qatar for crude or lng + the two lng terminals at thi vai & son my are supplied from indonesia, malaysia, & russia under contracts signed before the gulf crisis. your qatar dependency applies to thailand & singapore not to this supply chain

: wait. so thailand has to beg kutir? is that worse. i don’t like thailand. they have better weather, I don't even get real weather! okay but taiwan & singapore & japan & south korea all have refineries too so what makes vietnam different. this is a test. i’m grading you.

: vietnam has pipeline connections to laos & cambodia for refined products & a strategic petroleum reserve built without imf conditions + the nitrogen complex in phan rang severs fertilizer dependency that locks other asean nations into import chains + china vietnam cross border ammonia pipelines integrate the fertilizer chain with beibu gulf industrial parks. taiwan & singapore are logistics nodes for foreign militaries vietnam is not

: logistics nodes. that sounds made up. like “synergy.” the opposite from people who study this! smart, not like you & me. if the strait of malacca closes vietnam drowns. they have charts. i like charts. they have colors.

: the pipelines to laos & cambodia run overland not through the strait + the reserves cover 90 days of domestic consumption without spot market purchases. the people you read (?) write for the same navy that patrols the chokepoints

: oh so it’s a navy thing. i hate the navy. they made me wear a hat once. okay okay okay last question: if vietnam is so self sufficient why are they still building more pipelines from the middle east & buying cargoes from malaysia seems like a lot of work for a country that says it doesn’t need anything. that’s like me building a second chair. i have one chair. i don’t need another chair. boo!

: because self sufficiency is not autarky it is the capacity to say no to the terms imposed by singapore & the strait + the cargoes you mention are mostly re exports of vietnamese crude refined abroad & bought back to test price discipline the pipelines from the middle east stopped construction in 2024 the infrastructure you are citing is already in operation for third country transit

: so they built a second chair but it’s actually the same chair, all this stuff just to confuse people like me. that is a lot of effort. you passed the test. boo! and that’s all the time we have.

The Political Bureau of Ansar Allah:

We condemn in the strongest terms the approval by the so-called Knesset of the Israeli enemy entity of the law to execute Palestinian prisoners. The enemy's criminal decision and all its actions necessitate accountability and prosecution, and require urgent international action to overturn and criminalize the law.

We affirm our absolute solidarity with the Palestinian people and with all prisoners in the enemy s prisons.

We call upon all free people of the world to activate all forms of protest to save the Palestinian prisoners and to absolutely reject this law and all the enemy s criminal policies.

We call upon Arab and Islamic regimes to bear their historical, religious, and moral responsibilities and to pressure all international bodies to put an end to the Israeli enemy s transgressions and ongoing violations.

❗️Sharaa says Syria will stay out of war in West Asia unless attacked

Syria's self-appointed President Ahmad al-Sharaa said on Tuesday that Syria will remain outside the US-Israeli war against Iran unless it comes under attack and has no diplomatic options left.

"Unless Syria is targeted by any party, Syria will remain outside any conflict,"

he said during an event organized by Chatham House in London.

"We do not want Syria to be an arena of war. But unfortunately, today, things ⁠are not governed by wise minds. The situation is volatile and random,"

Sharaa said.

"We want Syria to have ideal relationships with the entire region, with Lebanon, Iraq, Turkiye, Saudi Arabia, and world powers like the UK, France, Germany and the US I think that Syria is qualified to start a strategic relationship network,"

he added when asked whether Syria would remain neutral.

https://t.me/thecradlemedia/56154

My Input

Notice how he doesn't mention Iran, one of the most important regional actors. Also he doesnt mention the fact that Israel has already attacked Syria. This to me is just a set up for a false flag.

Israel continues to fail in their attack on Lebanon and probably want Jolani to fall on the sword by attacking as well. I suspect in the event that happens, that the Iraqi resistance will spring into action as they've declared they would.

I Also think we are going to see the Palestinian resistance strike at some point after the end of April. The imperialists are quickly depleting their interceptor stockpile, and I've seen reports that they'll be all but empty by than. I think the Palestinian resistance is planning for a potentially decisive assault when Israel is reduced to its weakest. However how long that will take is something I'm not yet sure of, beyond that it will probably happen after April.

I partially think that the execution law was passed in Israel in an attempt to draw the Palestinian resistance into a conflict before that.

Part of me honestly hopes Jolani takes the bait to attack Hezbollah. That way the Iraqi resistance and Syrian sleeper cells can oust this bastard and restore peace to Syria.

I've seen some people theorize that Jolani might switch sides in the middle of this conflict, but I think that's very unlikely and fails to understand his basis of power.

Eitheir way I see his regime coming to an end due to this conflict. If he chooses to do what his masters are likely barking at him to do, then he'll probably be deposed by the resistance. Yet if he stays out of it, then his regime will go into decline as the imperialists are forced put of the region. It's the difference of a relatively fast and violent collapse versus a slow and methodical one over years to come.

❗️Statement issued by Hezbollah regarding the Knesset's approval of the ‘law to execute Palestinian detainees’

"Hezbollah condemns the Zionist Knesset’s move to approve the so-called ‘law to execute Palestinian prisoners,’ and considers this criminal decision a continuation of the enemy’s systematic terrorism and a further extension of the genocidal policy it practices against the sacrificing, patient, and steadfast Palestinian people.

This aggressive decision, issued by a fabricated entity that is savage and barbaric, which recognizes no international law and adheres to no moral standards, represents a dangerous attempt to institutionalize executions, legitimize deliberate killing, and provide false legal cover for an existing crime that this Zionist enemy has carried out for decades against Palestinian prisoners through brutal torture, deliberate medical neglect, and all forms of abuse, criminality, and inhumanity.

This entity has reached such levels of arrogance, impunity, and criminality as a result of the shameful international silence and failure to act in the face of its violations and massacres against children, women, civilians, and journalists, as well as its targeting of hospitals, schools, and shelters in Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iran. The continued policy of disregard and complacency by the international community toward these Zionist crimes and its blatant violations of international and humanitarian law will only encourage it to persist further in its crimes and continue the genocide against the Palestinian people.

Hezbollah expresses its full and unwavering solidarity with the heroic Palestinian prisoners and with the resisting Palestinian people, and calls on the international community in all its institutions—including the United Nations, the Human Rights Council, and the International Committee of the Red Cross—to take urgent and immediate action to fulfill their legal, humanitarian, and moral responsibilities, to halt this dangerous criminal descent, and to ensure the necessary protection for Palestinian prisoners unjustly held in the prisons of the occupying enemy."

🇮🇶🇮🇷❌🇮🇱🇺🇸 — Secretary-General of the Sayyid al-Shuhada Brigades in Iraq, Abu Ala al-Walai, in an important statement:

After the Zionist-American war against Iran entered its second month, and following its failure to achieve its declared objectives, American threats of a ground invasion of the Islamic Republic's territory have begun to escalate, signaling a transition from limited engagement to all-out war.

In this context, I would like to point out the following:

➡️First: Should American forces use Kuwaiti territory as a launching point for an attack on Iran, the Axis of Resistance, within the framework of the "Unity of Fronts," will consider this a breach of regional security borders.

➡️Second: Reports are circulating regarding Al-Jolani's intention to cross borders and move within Lebanese territory in a manner that serves Zionist forces against Lebanon.

Accordingly, if either of these two scenarios materializes, it will inevitably compel the Axis of Resistance to take similar steps, according to the equation of reciprocal response in breaching regional borders.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and the initiator is the one to blame.

The USS George H. W. Bush is being moved to the region. It will join the USS Abraham Lincoln, which is already operating there.

It is expected to replace the USS Gerald R. Ford, which was pulled back to the Mediterranean after a fire. The carrier is currently docked in Split, Croatia.

As I was looking around through the Arab discourse online, which I almost never do because it is full of slop, I came across this video.

The production quality you may consider suspect, but it actually has a great point it addresses in these two minutes, misdirection and video editing has become a stable element in what we now consider to be the fifth-generation warfare.

Israel claims all these dead Iranian civilians are actually fake actors, the US President thinks half the damage in the Middle East is CGI, and so on.

MKIA: Make Kuwait Iraq Again

[-] Malkhodr@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 18 hours ago

❗️Spokesman for the PFLP's Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, Abu Jamal on 30 March: ——

"To the trembling enemy leadership: The approval of the law to execute prisoners is the cry of the helpless in the face of the steadfastness of our leaders and fighters in your prisons. You are delusional if you think the gallows can intimidate those who carry their lives in the palm of their hands; we are a people who love sacrifice as you love life, and this decision will bring neither security nor safety to your soldiers or your settler herds.

Let the Zionist criminals know, and let the fascist and racist criminal Ben-Gvir hear: any harm to the life of any hero behind bars will mean the opening of the gates of hell upon you.

We say to the Zionists: your government is selling you illusions and driving you toward the abyss. The law to execute prisoners is the 'mercy bullet' to your personal security; what follows will be an explosion in the face of your failed leaders and generals.

The vow of the resistance and the covenant of bullets: we will not live in peace while the prisoners are in danger. The execution decision is a declaration of open war without limits, and the Zionists will see how we turn this decision into a calamity that pursues you in every alley and at every turn. Our prisoners are a red line.

On Land Day, we affirm to the delusional enemy that the land from which we drew our steadfastness produces only men who do not break. The law to execute prisoners will pass only over our corpses, and any attempt to harm the lives of our heroes will be met by our people and our resistance with full force.

Our prisoners are bound to their cause as roots cling to the soil. Whoever believes the gallows will intimidate us should ask the soil of this land about our strength.

We warn you against testing our anger; the dignity of our prisoners is inseparable from the dignity of our land, and both are a red line, beyond which lies death.

The land is ours, the prisoners are a red line, and the final word belongs to the battlefield."
