Description

Tehran has responded to reports the US is planning to put troops on the ground in Iran with defiance. Iran's parliamentary speaker has accused Washington of secretly plotting a ground invasion. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Iranian forces are ready to “rain fire” upon them. Attacks on major infrastructure in the region continue on both sides, with universities among the latest targets. Meanwhile the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he's ordered the Israeli army to expand a buffer zone it has created in southern Lebanon.

This is unbelievably screwed. This will go down as one of the biggest mistakes in history all started by an orange clown.

Less of a “threat” and more of a “if you invade us, we will fight back.” Very INTERESTING framing from the BBC.

The hardest part of a limited two week military action is the first several years! Just ask Putin!

When the Pentagon says "weeks of ground operations" they really mean years. Remember to fill your petrol tanks. Also remember the merchant mariners stranded in the Persian Gulf, about ~20,000 of them on ~3,000 ships.

Problem for the U.S. military is IRGC is probably going to FPV live stream the Donald Disaster Movie and then make the Lego movie for kids.
