President Hassan Rouhani has once again reminded the United States to whom the waterway truly belongs.
“The Americans should know that this waterway is called ‘the Persian Gulf.’ It is not called ‘the New York Gulf’ or ‘the Washington Gulf,’” President Rouhani told a cabinet session in Tehran on Wednesday, in remarks on the occasion of the National Persian Gulf Day.
“They should understand the circumstances [surrounding the body of water] by taking into consideration both its name and the nation that has preserved it for thousands of years, and, therefore, stop hatching plots against the Iranian nation every day,” the president stated.

Don't mind me, just posting about the state of US food industry during the pandemic that none of their media, news and even Yas Forums cares about,

>none of their media, news and even Yas Forums cares about, they will all be fine, no one will starve. People had to wait for toilet paper for a couple of days, now they might have to wait for their favorite sausage for a couple of days. Not a tragedy! Lot's of the stuff I usually buy has not been availabe, but it will all return soon enough.
GNA have of course not accepted the ceasefire and have been attacking on the Tripoli front all night. It would be a huge military mistake to do so. Even if they did they have no reason not to keep droning the supply routes of the LNA. A unilateral ceasefire from the LNA can't even be considered a move, they have nothing to cease and the enemy doesn't care. Good boy points for what? Also I read a take that the UAE stopped the Yemen front to send South Yemenis to Libya, something I find hilarious considering those nigs don't even want to fight the Houthis in the north, there's no way they go all the way to Libya.
Robert Peterson
Has there been any reports of shots fired between hadists and STC yet?
Evan Morgan
As in the last 3 days? No. But the Hadis' ability to do any attacking is very limited and it's not just their unilateral ceasefire that makes it that way.
Lincoln Peterson
where wafflefinn @?
Brayden Watson
don't you dare to relate based waffles to that schizo
I also have no idea what that France play was with the one plane that violated the Libyan airspace. What an amazing show of force they refueled a single plane on the way to Libya and they got an official complaint for it.
Luis Lee
Chicken Waffless.
Jason Clark
The UK's too. The clearly support the GNA. Is it to piss off France? The usually would follow the big arab players and Israel.
Matthew Gutierrez
i'm on a fast, i just came to ask a question real quick
The HTS, claimed to be the leaders of the revolution, vowed to bring an end to tyrany and strike terror into the hearts of tyrants.
Can someone, preferably more into this topic than i am, explain to me what the HTS is thinking when attempting to open a commercial border with the SAA?
All the talks about revolution and toppling tyrants and striking terror into their hearts, all talk no walk suddenly? Who pulled their string? It surely wasn't turkey.
I swear saudis if you're reading this, you were suppose to be the last stronghold for our ummah, now you're collaborating with a tyrant. TFUU
Dominic Morgan
they might have to, you need some kind of economy to keep up the war effort
Christian Phillips
do you mind if i save that bashar?
Noah Smith
HTS was never Turkish funded. Once Turkey began fighting the UAE in Libya they split because it's that easy, those groups depend on foreign funds to survive and HTS is too big for Turkey to bribe.
Eli Ortiz
I miss him...
Cameron Campbell
ISIS had momentum, auspicious circumstances, good propaganda, captured materiel, vast swaths of territory with natural resources
HTS doesn't really seem to have anything
Jack Long
HTS had many elites from ex-soviet muslim states. Real mercenaries. Elite training and supervision. Strategically, HTS was and is superior to ISIS in any way.
ISIS only had the advantage of numbers, both are not afraid of death, which makes them more fierce and high moral
But it saddens me to see, that they're just mercenaries for a foreign player in syria.

what helped ISIS was their pool of Iraqi military men instructed in the use of modern weaponry like Tows, tanks etc. . I haven't seen much in the way of this from HTS, which is largely comprised of former Nusra men, who in turn were mosty random Syrian Islamists. I don't think they hold a candle to peak ISIS t b h.
Lucas Martin
>GNA Operation started on Al-Rawajah That's in the Tarhuna contact line. Turks say it's big, it's probably not that big but they do have heavy artillery. All that while the LNA are looking for ceasefires. This makes no sense whatsoever.
Noah Cook
It's actually amazing how irrelevant those developments are in grand scale of things, but American power projection is sustained through these fluf power abuses and hitting low like blocking iranian domains and what not.
Blake Bell
there are no lows to which my government wont stoop. They bark at anything Washington points to.
It's amazing how mutti Merkel has no problem whatsoever welcoming thousands of (former) moderate rebels who are potential ticking time bombs for Germany but God forbid she tolerates people who threaten Israel. Seems like mutts are getting desperate. They even made Paraguay and some other Latin American shithole designate them as terrorists not too long ago.
