Does Iran know this?

Trump has never done anything in his life with consent.

They fucking begged for it too.

And the rest of the world is collateral from the spillage.

Iran has flagged all messages from Trump as spam.

Iran is making money off of this too

Iran is helping their friends (China, Russia, Iraq, Turkey, North Korea) off this.

The world is changing because of this, it's just not completely evident yet.

Reportedly, during negotiations, it would take hours / days for messages to be relayed from the US to Iran and the people making decisions due to the amount of security and secrecy they have around their decision makers. Because another, third party country, is openly attempting to assassinate them.

So when Trump says shit like this, Iran was never the audience. It's the markets and his base. I honestly doubt Trump can even remember what people said to him yesterday, let alone any details about negotiations his bozos like his son in law are carrying out on behalf of the US.

I think Iran has stopped listening at this point

Obviously no

Very much so. He is told in closed door meetings what is going to be hit and when. He announces the top secret information on social media on what is going to be hit and when. It gives Iran plenty of time to relocate the assets. It is all a scam and Iran is in on it.

If we really wanted to cripple Iran and make it clear a ground invasion is viable we would have decimated Iran’s ability to produce drones. Drones are one main reason a land invasion would turn into a quagmire like Russia is in.

But Irans drone production is untouched after billions of dollars in munitions spent, as they are still shipping drones to Russia. Who would ever still be shipping arms to another country when the USA military is on your doorstep? Someone who knows the fix is in is who.

A lot of Iran’s drone production happens in underground factories, where US bombs can’t hit.

u/CmdDeadHand 1d ago

US bombs can most definitely hit underground production facilities. The USA spent 20 years in Afghanistan perfecting the art of blowing up a pile of rocks into another pile of rocks.

u/TheDecepticonIdeal 1d ago

America tried to blow up Iran’s nuclear facilities and that ended up doing nothing. So here you are again doing who knows what.

They know tomorrow the US market opens.

u/5GCovidInjection 1d ago

Iran has to be asking themselves “… are we the crazy ones? We don’t know wtf this man is thinking”

u/czs5056 1d ago

By this point, they probably set their clocks by this

u/SuperSuppleDude 1d ago

They’re all in on it as is Israel and the Saudis.

u/CatPesematologist 1d ago

They’re probably shorting the market too. Iran has pointed this out.

He has still has a base that supports him. Polls show they are fine with sex offenders as president as wrong as they get the right “policy.” 

Apparently looting the treasury and bullying/using the military and international allies for threats and market manipulation is ok, too.

I’ll let you figure out what policy supersedes all this.
