Megathread for the US war on Iran | Week 19 of 2026
(thelemmy.club)
This is a thread specifically for the war, not a general megathread (use the pinned /c/genzedong thread for that).
Please keep related news in this thread rather than making separate posts. Remember to include sources and avoid spreading rumours.
Looks like the wars back on. Iran for once taking the initiative rather then waiting to get pummeled first. I wonder what prompted this. Presumably the US fucking around with the Navy earlier.
I feel like there have been escalatory retoric from Iran towards UAE the last days. There have been a lot of talk regarding their alleged involvement in american strikes as well as a few of their drones being shot down over Iran.
My guess is that this is a warning to the rest of the Gulf that things wont go back to how they were and further alignment with US/Israel wont be beneficial.
EDIT: Lets also wait and see what the IRGC says - would not be the first false flag from the imperialists...
It is quite strange; Iran has never initiated attacks and also never not warned before attacking. I wonder if we're missing something here.
Israel and the US assassinated a bunch of the old guard, maybe this is a product of having a new Ayatollah with a lot of new leadership who don't see as much value in strategic patience against an invading empire.
