Suprises no one. I remember reading that the IRGC is quite a distributed organization, and has planned for the exact situation they find themselves in today. Im guessing they have lots of stuff stashed away only known to each IRGC "section"

You really think the President of the United States would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

The amount of buffoonery on the US side is staggering. 1. Iran is always 2 weeks away from having nuclear missiles. 2. Iran's military capability is destroyed. 3. If Iran had nuclear warheads, it could successfully deploy them against the US. 4. If Iran had nuclear warheads and could deliver them, their leadership is so suicidal/stupid that it would trigger MAD. Truly staggering buffoonery.

Why this was flagged? Censorship?
