The man has a long record of vitriolic speeches like that, and that gives the added video translation its credibility. He would not be himself if he would have said something friendlier.

You can see him as the conscience of Aayatollah Chamenei - he says what Chamenei means to say but usually still is too reluctant to put that frankly in words, not to wake up the Europeans too early. Same message - but more clearly delivered.

I was thinking on posting a comment in this thread about the latest development in the Iran - USA conflict.

It will be interesting to follow.

Will the Iranian continue with their cat and mouse play ?

Will the American warship fire on Iranian warship if they continue to do so ?
or is it only small talk from Trump ?

If orders were givin' to blow them out of the water?
Disobeying those orders would see CO's removed from Command.
Not hard to see what's going to happen.
Maybe I should send them a link to the SH3 survivors mod?

Maybe 'Tweeter' Trump will reinstate Captain Will Rogers III who has the best credential for this sort of thing! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_Air_Flight_655 What a way to leave your stamp on history!

Then we have this, which have added more to the crisis.

The Pentagon said it was too early to say whether the Iranian satellite launch had been successful but the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) issued a new code designator for an orbiting object which appeared consistent with Noor.
