yes please. iran: please strike targets on american soil, too. the US needs to get its teeth kicked in and doing it on “bases” is just stupid.

[-] Edie@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 minutes ago

The problem is that might galvanize the population (of the US) and increase support for the war.

trump really painted himself into a corner here. He's probably starting to think it would've been better to just release all of the trump/epstein files. What a huge colossal waste for everybody on the entire planet.

Looks like Iran need to keep teaching the burger reich that it can't fuck around without consequences.

Firefox says there's somekind of certificate issue

[-] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Their certificate was revoked (by their certificate authority, Actalis, part of the Aruba Group) on July 6. Presumably the CA was pressured to revoke it by the Italian and/or US government, and they will get a new certificate from someone else soon.

There is a hexbear thread here about it; afaict there doesn't appear to yet be any reporting about it. But in the CRL you can see it was revoked July 6:

$ curl -s http://crl15.actalis.it/Repository/tls-subca-rsa-dv-2025/getLastCRL | openssl crl -noout -text |grep -A 4 02295E6BB25717C4652321F4ED9D2B29
    Serial Number: 02295E6BB25717C4652321F4ED9D2B29
        Revocation Date: Jul  6 13:54:09 2026 GMT
        CRL entry extensions:
            X509v3 CRL Reason Code: 
                Privilege Withdrawn

The reason "Privilege Withdrawn" means it was the CA's decision rather than their own.

Because certificate revocation has never worked very well, many people can still access it (until their browser fetches the certificate revocation list, or checks OCSP, does some newfangled proprietary other thing i don't understand...).

Iran has issued a firm warning that it will not back down from its management of the Strait of Hormuz and is prepared to fight to maintain control over the strategic waterway, an informed security source told Press TV on Wednesday.

The source revealed that developments over the past 48 hours have solidified Tehran's resolve, with a new military and strategic doctrine now in place.

According to the source, Iran's updated strategy dictates that in the event of any fresh attack on Iranian soil or interests, the Islamic Republic will respond with overwhelming force.

The source elaborated on Iran's new retaliatory framework, stating that following any strike against Iran, two immediate actions will be taken: first, the Strait of Hormuz will be completely closed to all maritime traffic; and second, Iran will strike enemy targets at a ratio of at least two to one, meaning that for every Iranian target hit, at least two enemy targets will be struck in return.

"The memorandum of understanding signed on this matter clearly states that Iran will reopen the Strait in accordance with its own arrangements. Therefore, Iran will not permit the establishment of any new route outside the framework of its own arrangements," the source said.

The source also addressed recent threats made by US President Donald Trump, delivering a blunt message to Washington.

"Any threat will receive a powerful response. Iran does not distinguish between the United States and its partners in the region,” the source told Press TV.

“Trump will gain nothing from these recent threats, but he will certainly lose both the Strait of Hormuz and the negotiations over a final agreement. The choice is now his."

The warning comes amid rising tensions in the Persian Gulf region, after the US military carried out a fresh round of illegal and unprovoked strikes against Iran’s coastal areas early on Wednesday.

US launched military strikes on a number of coastal bases and non-military stations in Iran's southern Hormozgan province and Mahshahr, which openly violated the ceasefire.

In response, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) struck 85 US military targets in Bahrain and Kuwait with missiles and drones in an initial response to the American aggression.

The IRGC said the strikes hit facilities at Port Salman, the US Fifth Fleet's area in Bahrain, and Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait. It also announced the downing of an MQ-9 drone, saying the aircraft attempted to interfere with the operation before it was shot down.

In a statement earlier on Wednesday, Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said any source of support for the “aggressor US army” will be considered a legitimate target for Iranian armed forces.

“The source of any support for the aggressor US army to violate the sovereignty and territory of Islamic Iran will be a legitimate target for the armed forces,” the top military command center warned.

It said that the only safe route for commercial ships and oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz is the path designated by Iran, and that Tehran will not allow any interference in the management of the Strait.

Iranian parliament speaker and lead negotiator Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf also slammed the US for committing major violations of the Iran-US memorandum of understanding (MoU), stressing that Washington’s “era of bullying and extortion” is over.

“Major MoU violations by the US: [1.] Violating Iranian adjustments in the Strait,
[2.] Reinstating oil sanctions,
[3.] Attacks on southern Iran,
[4.] Continued Zionist aggression on Lebanon,” he said.

“The era of bullying and extortion is over. It leads nowhere. We don’t fold.”

Actalis, who are Italian, but probably acting on orders from the USA in this case, has revoked the certificate. (Could also be the site got hacked and Actalis is doing their job correctly, but I subscribe to the censorship theory personally).

You can use wget to download the site, or curl if you just want the text. There's also presstv.co.uk which works as a mirror.

If they can, they should bomb the absolute shit out of israel. That's the only thing that will put a real stop to this.

[-] LemmyBruceLeeMarvin@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 hours ago

I mean, where's the lie

We have already lost this war three times.

What are we still doing there???

Experiencing the death throes of a dying global hegemony

Well, getting into a war which reveals its hard power as being much less than the image most had of it before and which pisses of its allies, all of this eating away its soft power, it is a pretty traditional thing in the collapse stage of empires.

... it is a pretty traditional thing in the collapse stage of empires.

it really goes to show that capitalism hasn’t broken the cycle since it shares the same fatal patterns as the empires that collapsed before it.

Market manipulation and unprecedented levels of historical grift? Oh and sucking Israeli dick, that's a big one.

[-] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

I think we just like the feel of the pain and we relish in the devastation of loss. There’s no other explanation.

America just needs to take the L lmao

[-] dRLY@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 13 hours ago

If Iran ends up sending more towards the IOF (in addition to USA targets), then I hope they include the "settlements" in West Bank. The open attacks on Palestinians with support of the IOF, should flip all "settlements" as 100% valid targets.

Related to USA targets. Is Iran trying to hit any the aircraft carriers with their hypersonic missiles? I know they are harder to hit since they actively move around and the stationary targets do matter. Just seems like even losing one would fuck things up for the USA projecting power.

Iran doesn't have a way to find and target a shop like that in real time. It's a really difficult problem to solve without air superiority or space superiority, neither of which Iran has. So I'm sure they'd love to hit a carrier but they can't really target one
