Iran makes explicit threat to destroy the world's economy

[SamuelTheThird]

So, how is this supposed to be resolved?


Mehdi Mohammadi senior advisor to Iran parliament speaker:

Iran’s approach to this war is multi layered. It is not fighting on a single front or relying on a single tool.

The Lebanon front, the missile program, regional proxies, and negotiations are all being used as part of one integrated strategy and operational framework

“If Iran's critical infrastructure is attacked, there will be no critical infrastructure left in occupied Palestine, nor in the complicit Arab family dictatorships in the Persian Gulf. That will mean the end of the global economy as we know it.”

1. Iran has backing from countries that have issues with US and Israel............

[bucolic_frolic]

2. Trump dissolved our foreign alliances but now wants to tell everyone what to do.

We are in for 15 years of scarcity. I don't think everything will collapse, but we will have stock outs on a lot of things. We'll have to plan ahead.

[surfered]

3. And the Trump Administration attacked Iran with no plan for their closure of the Strait of Hormuz! Idiots!

[Irish_Dem]

4. Iran is a very formidable enemy.

Did anyone in the US military game this out first?

[RazorbackExpat]

19. Trump got rid of the generals who would have "gamed it out"

[Strelnikov_]

21. Yes, all the way back in 2003 or 04

In short.

Before the Iraq resistance gained steam, the Cheney admin was ready to run the table, so to speak, on Iran.

Pentagon ran a major war game, all scenarios ended with major US losses in trying to keep the region intact.

Plans to take on Iran directly were dropped. And all this was before drone technology.

The fact that Iran holds a critical region for the world hostage has been known for decades. It is a doomsday weapon for Iran, only useable if facing an existential threat.

Unlike Cheney, Trump simply ignored the warnings. Word is Vance is on the outs because he was against the attack, for reasons above.

5. We knew there would be some kind of Covid level follow on

But we didn't know what it would be. Here we are.

6. If Iran means to deter Trump with that threat,

they are forgetting or not aware that Trump doesn't care about the world economy as long as he has enough money for himself or can continue to steal from the US.

A world market decline would hurt some of Trump's investments, but doesn't he already have millions stashed away somewhere? If the ordinary citizen is hurting financially, well, he's already told us he doesn't think about that.

24. His money won't be worth the paper it is printed on if the world economy collapses. (n/t)

7. Tsf is outplayed again. This time by "a bunch of crazy bastards".

Good job you orange dip shit.

[no_hypocrisy]

8. Memo to Bibi: ISRAEL'S ECONOMY WILL BE DESTROYED AS WELL.

And it will be your fault.

[bamagal62]

9. Everything Trump

Touches goes to shit.

[Wounded Bear]

10. #ETTD nt

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

11. The US and Israel: Usrael. I may start using that just to save a few keystrokes.

For the first time in my life, I just paid $100 for 25 gallons of gasoline. And that isn't a drop in the bucket for the high costs of everything else. This war made no sense.

[LymphocyteLover]

12. sounds like the evil MFers POS POTUS and Netanyahu "miscalculated"

[ImNotGod]

13. Sorry Iran but tRump already beat you to it. nt

[ImNotGod]

14. And according to the shipping guy the Panama Canal is low on water

and has a "yuge" backlog, also very expense for the ones lucky enough to get a winning lotto ticket, yes, they are drawing tickets for use. Starting July 3rd they are cutting back even more do to the super el nino, consumers are screwed!!!

[2naSalit]

15. Too LAte!

Asshole in the WH already did that!

[SamuelTheThird]

16. Israel hit an Iranian petrochemical plant....

[sakabatou]

17. Dump is already doing that

[GoodRaisin]

18. The only way is to make a deal that involves getting rid of Krasnov.

Remember how Iran held the hostages until Carter was out of office? They are going to do the same thing to Krasnov. We must get rid of him if we want to break their hold on the economy. I wish they would just come out and say it so it will be clear to everyone what must be done. The stooge in the Whote House must leave.

[Intractable]

20. I hear they want to make a deal -- that they need to make a deal. How could they not want a deal?

Worst president in history.

Probably the worst businessman as well. How many billions have the world's economies lost because of him?

He bankrupted four casinos, yet he got elected twice.

[Blue Full Moon]

22. They won't have to do anything Trump's well on his way.

[Nanjeanne]

23. Trump has made the whole world unsafe.

[OldBaldy1701E]

25. "That will mean the end of the global economy as we know it."

Now now... don't tease me with a good time.

[BH liberal]

26. Iran is playing Trump...

like a cheap fiddle. Ditto for Netanyahoooo. The U.S. cannot be relied upon by any of our former allies at this time. The people of the world have not been in this kind of peril since the Cold War.

[Bmoboy]

27. And end AI and fossil fuels at the same time

Wouldn't that be something?
