Gonna be honest shit is so fucked I have been checked out. What exactly have I missed? I know Israeli is bombing Palestine. Are we in official war with them to? Are we going to war with Iran over Palestine?

Apparently something revealed by this meeting is that the American military is comically officer heavy. It seems there is about 1 general for every 1000 soldiers. Reminds me of the situation in Britain where they have more admirals than naval vessels.

Thomas Keith - Since this morning, Hebrew outlets admit that 100s of settlers and soldiers have been receiving direct phone calls from “Iranian intelligence” offering recruitment, pay, and security, complete with Telegram contact numbers. The Zionist police chief went public, claiming the wave of calls was only “psychological warfare” and urging people not to panic.

The transcript of the recording makes the point sharper: “Iranian intelligence seeks skilled agents. Competitive pay, professional security. Find us on Telegram and online. To unsubscribe, press nine.”

Whether answered or ignored, the signal is the same, Tehran has turned every phone into a front line. It is not about actual recruitment but about rupturing the illusion of security inside the Zionist home front, making every ringtone a reminder that the resistance can reach directly into their pockets.

BREAKING: For the first time Iran reveals missiles eliminated 16 Israeli pilots

• Iran hit C&C centers
• Some of Iran’s missiles eliminated more than 16 Israeli pilots inside “Israel”.

Well the United States has been wanting to start a war with Iran for a long time now.

Back in 2017 there was a story about Iran diffusing some kind of underwater bomb plot to attack a US ship. My takeaway was that the US was going to false flag its way into this war. I can't find a source right now (google is useless start documenting your own shit!) but I'm sure you've heard more than one story about WWIII breaking out because of US and Iran over the years.

So I don't think this is over Palestine. This is basically about the falling rate of profit and using war to artificially reset it.

>So I don't think this is over Palestine. This is basically about the falling rate of profit and using war to artificially reset it.
The rest of what you wrote is accurate, but I disagree about this. The amount of sway that Zionists have over US foreign policy is actually huge; Iran is the prime target because "Israel" wants them to be, and destroying Iran serves Zionist interests above all else. The ambition of Israeli leadership is expansion and total regional hegemony, and it's not a coincidence that US war against Iran serves this goal; same with US war and ops against Iraq, Syria, Libya, Lebanon, Yemen, Egypt, etc. The US isn't behaving "rationally" in a nationalistic capitalist sense, it's acting in service of an increasingly small clique which is dominated by Zionists (who actually are acting in the interest of their own ethnonationalist death cult ideology) and MIC war profiteers who don't know or care about preserving the US as a functional empire. It's not a big charade, the US leadership really is captured by a mafia-like group who prioritize a different state. The US could act "rationally" (in the deranged capitalist hegemonic sense) and still do wars, but the US deciding to wage war against Iran now will be suicidal for the US and great for Israeli hegemony.

I disagree about this specifically "not being over Palestine."

The primary beneficiary of this is "Israel." The US and its leadership are Zionists, and the American state is really a multi-national corporate blob within which a plurality are ideologically tied to Zionism and the "Greater Israel" project. They didn't need to start arresting foreign exchange students for saying "don't do genocide" to reset the falling rate of profit. They don't need to tie emergency funds to support for "Israel" to reset the falling rate of profit. They don't need to let Unit 8200 staff America's press. They don't need to have the IOF train American cops.

If the US had this kind of relationship with Nazi Germany nobody would be afraid to say what was going on. Mussolini was once Europe's top Fascist, but by the end of WWII, Italy had become a German puppet state. The US is not quite there, but nevertheless does increasingly go after the ethnic, religious, national, & political groups its protégé specifically despises, and does pass laws written by its protégé's extraordinarily powerful lobby. It's weird that people can understand that an absurd amount of Americans from Jewish and Evangelical backgrounds are brainwashed into believing in total loyalty to Zionism, but somehow there's a cognitive disconnect when openly rapid Zionists are disproportionately represented in US media, tech, finance, and politics. Why is an ex-IOF prison guard the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic? Why was Biden's secretary of state a lifelong Zionist who criticized Reagan for threatening to stop funding "Israel"? Why is there a Unit 8200 guy in charge of "leaking" Biden & Trump's supposed "angry private thoughts" about Netanyahu? Why was Biden's Lebanon guy a former IOF tank commander? Trump's son-in-law has no official position and Netanyahu used to sleep in his room when he visited NYC; so why is Jared Kushner, a real estate guy, attending negotiations with Witkoff & Netanyahu? Trump's second biggest donor in 2024 was Elon Musk, a Zionist, and his third biggest donor was Miriam Adelson, an ex-IOF soldier whose one issue is Zionism - what's that about?

Just because Al Capone once ran Chicago doesn't mean capitalism was fine & dandy up until Al Capone ran Chicago; and yet, still, Al Capone once ran Chicago. It had fuck all to do with the fact that he was Italian, but it has a lot to do with his organized crime syndicate.

Anyway, this is what's important.

What is Quantico, and where is it?
Quantico is a Marine Corps base located some 60km (nearly 40 miles) south of Washington, DC, in the state of Virginia.
It consists of nearly 24,000 hectares (59,000 acres) with about 21,000 hectares (52,000 acres), or 88 percent, forested.
The base was established in 1917 and has been in use since.
It calls itself “Crossroads of the Marine Corps” and is home to the US Marine Corps Combat Development Command.
The base also houses the FBI Academy.

What is happening today at Quantico?
US President Donald Trump and Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth will address hundreds of senior military officers in person at a base in Virginia.
The abruptly scheduled gathering of civilian leaders and top military brass takes place after the Pentagon suddenly asked military leaders from around the world to convene without publicly disclosing the reason.
The news prompted speculation about the purpose of summoning such a large number of generals and admirals to one place, with many based in more than a dozen countries, including in the Middle East.
Experts say that while such meetings are nothing new, the scale of the gathering, the haste with which it was called and the mystery surrounding it are particularly unusual.

Trump’s address to top-ranking military officers later today will take place a few hours after the White House unveiled a 20-point proposal it said could bring an immediate halt to Israel’s war on Gaza.

The announcement came as the US president held talks with Israeli PM Netanyahu, who faces an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court over alleged war crimes, in Washington, DC.

Meeting follows rebranding of Department of Defense
Today’s meeting comes weeks after Trump signed an order changing the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War in all executive statements.

Trump said at a signing ceremony on September 5, the name change was part of a larger shift away from a “woke” ideology within the department, adding it would beckon in a new age of military victory.

For his part, Hegseth argued the name swap would help with “restoring the warrior ethos”. The former Fox presenter added: “We’re going to go on offence, not just on defence. Maximum lethality, not tepid legality. Violent effect, not politically correct.”

Administration officials said the name “Department of War” would be used in official White House correspondence and public statements. But a more permanent change would require Congress to pass new legislation. To that end, Trump added he would ask Congress to codify the name into law.

The new name has been widely interpreted as a reflection of a more aggressive foreign-policy posture under Trump. Since taking office for a second term in January, the Republican has overseen bombing campaigns in Yemen and Iran.

He has also ordered deadly aerial attacks on alleged drug-smuggling boats in the international waters of the Caribbean Sea. Experts say such strikes have scant legal basis and raise the risks of civilians, including fishermen and migrants, being targeted.

Trump has made several name changes since taking office, including undoing moves that saw military sites named after Confederate officials baptised with new monikers.

Meeting taking place as government shutdown nears
The gathering at Quantico comes as the US is heading towards a government shutdown, with Republicans and Democrats appearing unlikely to reach a deal that would extend funding past a midnight deadline (04:00 GMT on Wednesday).

The Republican-controlled Senate is expected to vote on a temporary spending bill that has failed once already, with no sign that a second vote will bring success.

…

Federal agencies, meanwhile, issued detailed plans that would close offices conducting scientific research, customer service and other activities not deemed “essential” and send thousands of workers home if Congress does not agree on a fix before funding expires at midnight.

Airlines warned that a shutdown could slow flights, while the Labor Department said it would not issue its monthly unemployment report, a closely watched barometer of economic health.

The USS Gerald R. Ford, the largest US Navy aircraft carrier, is now set to cross the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean.

It leads a carrier strike group that includes:
· USS Normandy (CG-60) — a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser
· USS Ramage (DDG-61), USS McFaul (DDG-74), USS Thomas Hudner (DDG-116) — Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers
· Air Wing 8, with F/A-18 Super Hornets, E-2D Hawkeyes, EA-18G Growlers, and MH-60 helicopters

From Patricia Marins via Twitter:

The US has shifted over 30 tanker aircraft from Europe to the Middle East, in scenes very similar to those seen days before the outbreak of the 12-day war.

Iran has been focused on demonstrating military strength through new missile tests and aircraft acquisitions, which could certainly trigger a new conflict with Israel.

In recent days, I showed that four additional THAAD launchers have been installed to defend Israel’s skies. Israel does not have more than 300 defensive missiles, but with the THAAD systems and the US ships stationed nearby, it could have around 700 to 1,000 interceptors in total. While this is fewer than during the 12-day war, it remains a significant number.

A new attack would indicate that Israel and the US do not want to give Iran time to rearm or rebuild its radar and air defense systems.

Such a war would be catastrophic for both sides. Although Iran is still assembling its air force and repairing radar systems, it possesses a vast arsenal of missiles.

A new Israeli strike could target air bases and the recently purchased MiG-29s still on the ground.

During the June conflict, Iran successfully concealed nearly all of its aircraft and helicopters, preserving its units from damage.

Israel destroyed very little Iranian military material but dealt a heavy blow to Iran’s military and economic infrastructure.

Another possible motivation for an attack is Iran’s rapid reconditioning of its missile stockpile and the ongoing deployment of these weapons. This arsenal, built over 20 years, consists of thousands of ballistic and cruise missiles.

Trump administration deporting hundreds of Iranian citizens: Tehran
An Iranian Foreign Ministry official says the Trump administration plans to deport about 400 Iranians.

An Iranian official says the United States plans to deport hundreds of Iranian citizens in the coming weeks, with the first 120 deportees expected to arrive in Iran within days, as US President Donald Trump continues his immigration crackdown.

Hossein Noushabadi, director general for parliamentary and consular affairs at Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told the Tasnim news agency on Tuesday that US immigration authorities plan to deport about 400 Iranians.

Noushabadi said the first planeload of Iranian nationals would arrive “within the next one or two days” after a stop in Qatar. Qatari authorities did not immediately comment on his remarks.

Noushabadi said most of the Iranian nationals targeted had entered the US without documentation, primarily through Mexico, while some faced other immigration issues.

The deportations, which have not yet been publicly acknowledged by the Trump administration, come as tensions remain high between the two countries after the US joined its ally Israel in bombing Iran during a 12-day June conflict.

…

Noushabadi said on Tuesday that US authorities had unilaterally made the decision to deport the Iranian nationals without consultations with Iran.

…

A US-chartered flight took off from Louisiana on Monday and was scheduled to arrive in Qatar late on Tuesday so the deportees could be transferred to a Tehran-bound flight, a US official said.

Pentagon chief Hegseth announces Qatari Air Force facility at Idaho base
The US and Qatar have signed a letter of agreement to bring a Qatari F-15 fighter jet contingent to a US military base.

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has announced that the United States and Qatar have signed a letter of agreement to build a Qatari Emiri Air Force facility at a US Air Force base in the western US state of Idaho.

The announcement on Friday came during a meeting between Hegseth and Qatari Defence Minister Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman Al Thani at the Pentagon.

…

Hegseth then shifted his remarks to the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho, which he said would host a contingent of Qatari F-15 fighter planes and pilots to “enhance our combined training, increase lethality, [and] interoperability”.

Ali al-Ansari, Qatar’s media attache to the US, later clarified that the facility “will not be a Qatari airbase”.

“Qatar has made an initial 10-year commitment to construct and maintain a dedicated facility within an existing US airbase” to offer “advanced training and to enhance interoperability in defending and advancing our shared interests around the world,” al-Ansari said in a statement.

🇮🇷| IRGC Navy Commander regarding closing the Strait of Hormuz:

“The Strait of Hormuz is a strategic strait and the world is using it. We have always considered this region an important strategic area and defended it so that this sea route wouldn’t be closed.

We didn’t want the strait to be shut. But look, let me ask this: Should the world uses this strait, while we don’t? Their oil and gas tankers pass while ours are not allowed to? Well, that’s clearly not logical.

That’s why our leaders will make a decision and I am a soldier in the field which will execute this order [if they do]. But what we want is for the world’s oil and gas gates to remain open.

The Persian Gulf is our home. We constantly say: US & foreign forces are disrupting security; they do not create security for us. To remain in the region they need to manufacture enemies — they say “Iran does this or that.” We have not attacked any country throughout history — for 300 years Iran has not attacked any country, provided it is not attacked first. But if our interests are threatened, we will defend them.”

Leaked US files reveal secret Israeli-Arab military pact targeting Iran amid war on Gaza: The Washington Post
——
Leaked US military documents have exposed a covert security partnership between Israel and six key Arab states, Qatar, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, forged under the leadership of US Central Command, even as these countries publicly condemned Israel’s war on Gaza.

Behind the scenes, the parties held years of secret meetings and joint trainings in Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, and the US, focusing on countering Iran and combating underground tunnel warfare used by Hamas and other resistance factions in Gaza.

The partnership, known as the “Regional Security Construct,” began in 2022 and quietly expanded through 2025, linking the countries into a shared air-defense network designed to monitor Iranian missiles and drones.

The leaked files also reveal US plans to establish a “Combined Middle East Cyber Center” and an “Information Fusion Center” to further integrate Israeli and Arab security capabilities. It also involved onboarding partners to a US-run secure chat system, distributing intelligence and operational material through the 'Five Eyes network' (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Britain, and the United States), sharing radar and sensor data to build a joint regional picture, and coordinating information operations to undermine Iran’s narrative as the regional protector of Palestinians while promoting a partner narrative of prosperity and cooperation.

This shadow alliance was thrown into turmoil after Israel’s 9 September airstrike on Doha targeting Hamas leaders. Netanyahu later issued an apology to Qatar under pressure from Washington, but the incident exposed the fragility of the cooperation. US radar systems had failed to detect the Israeli strike because they were focused on Iran, a revelation that deepened mistrust among Arab partners.

While Arab leaders, including those of Egypt, Jordan, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, have publicly denounced Israel’s campaign in Gaza as “genocidal,” their militaries were simultaneously working alongside Israel and the US on security planning tied to Trump’s ceasefire plan, which envisions Arab participation in Gaza’s postwar security arrangements. Around 200 US troops are set to deploy to Israel to support the ceasefire agreement, with several of the Arab states involved expected to contribute forces.

After snapback mechanism caused UN sanctions to be reimposed on Iran, countries are supposedly forced to stop Iranian vessels and inspect them.

Last week, Iran’s FM has declared that anyone trying any action against Iran’s vessels, will be met with a reciprocally and proportionately response.

Iran’s judiciary says two French nationals have been handed lengthy prison terms after being convicted on multiple charges, including spying for Israel.

Their names have not been made public.

Trump cannot be both ‘President of Peace’ and ‘President of War’: Araghchi
Following Trump’s call for dialogue on Monday, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the US president can “either be a President of Peace or a President of War, but he cannot be both at the same time”.

“One can hardly be branded as President of Peace while provoking endless wars and aligning with war criminals,” he posted on X.

In June, the US joined Israel in striking Iranian nuclear facilities after five rounds of indirect nuclear talks with Tehran.

Araghchi said the US president has been misled regarding Iran’s nuclear programme.

“It is more than clear by now that POTUS has been badly fed the fake line that Iran’s peaceful nuclear program was on the verge of weaponisation this spring,” the foreign minister said. “That is simply a big lie and he should have been informed that there is zero proof of that, as confirmed by his own intelligence community.”

Araghchi also called Israel “the real bully of the Middle East”, and that it “has long been bullying and milking the United States”.

Tehran says Trump’s peace offering to Iran at ‘odds’ with US actions
Iran says President Trump’s call for a peace deal with Tehran is inconsistent with Washington’s actions, referring to its strikes on Iranian nuclear sites in June.

“The desire for peace and dialogue expressed by the US president is at odds with the hostile and criminal behaviour of the United States towards the Iranian people,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

During a Monday speech at the Israeli Knesset, Trump said he wanted a peace deal with Iran and that the ball was in Tehran’s court for any agreement to come to pass.

“How can one attack the residential areas and nuclear facilities of a country in the midst of political negotiations, kill more than 1,000 people, including innocent women and children, and then demand peace and friendship?” the Foreign Ministry said.
