CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I tried my hardest by comparing it to Vietnam.
...But you have to understand, I've always wanted this war, even before Trump’s presidency. It's weird, and strange that Trump does so many thing's that I would do, and have called to do, on these forums, like tariffs even, before he did it.
Me and Trump must be of the same spiritual realm. I don't know what that means, but it's the only way I can describe it. Or maybe we're just so white together... IDK... I am as white as you can get, and I don't really know what that means either. It's a mystery among so many other mysteries in life - like quantum entanglement - it just doesn't make natural sense.

I'm not sure why you want America to waist money on an invasion on multiple countries. Remember the anti-Christ has a blood on his head in Revelations. The ear is part of the head. Do you really think trump is spiritual person. He seems to mock the Christian religion. While kissing up to them. A lot of White people vote for people, that's white and not Trump. An elected official isn't better because they're are white.

I'm not interested in what Trump wants. I wanted the blood of the Iranian leadership all over my own hands, and so I celebrated the day the president (whoever that happened to be) started the attack. I would want it again, if we could go back. I would pay any amount of money, regardless of politics or anything.

Oman hands Iran Gulf-backed proposal for joint control over Hormuz, with voluntary fees
Oman has presented a proposal to Iran for a joint regional mechanism to manage the Strait of Hormuz with voluntary fees, a Gulf source told Reuters on Tuesday.Oman has won backing from Gulf states for the plan, the source told Reuters.
Under the Omani proposal, which has regional backing, Iran would not exercise sole control of the vital waterway, the source added.
If they're wise, they'll cut Donald in for 15% and everyone will finally be happy, right? The oil will flow and both Iran and the US have a new income source.

Sure glad this isn't spiralling into a wider regional war!
Iran fired multiple ballistic missiles at a U.S. base in [Jordan] on Tuesday evening, in what U.S. Central Command (Centcom) called an attempted surprise attack. [What? Is Iran still phoning ahead when they plan to attack?]
In an update following the reported Iranian attack, Centcom announced that alongside the Saudi Arabian Armed Forces, precision strikes were conducted in Iraq against Iran-aligned terrorists on Tuesday.

Looks like Iran has had some successful negotiations with a different partner.
July 29 (Reuters) - Iran is expected to receive within weeks a first shipment out of up to 400 Chinese-made shoulder-fired air-defence missile launchers, three sources familiar with the deal told Reuters, as it rebuilds its defences amid war with the United States.
The purchase, valued at $60-70 million, is one of Tehran's largest-known efforts to strengthen its short-range air defences since the outbreak of its war with the U.S. and Israel, which exposed gaps in Iran's ability to protect military sites and strategic infrastructure.
The contract covers the purchase of between 300 and 400 man-portable air defence systems (MANPADS), including Chinese-made QW-12 and FN-16 missiles, the sources said.
The QW-12 and FN-16 are shoulder-fired, infrared-guided surface-to-air missile systems designed to engage low-flying aircraft, helicopters and drones. Their mobility allows them to be deployed rapidly around military installations, energy infrastructure and other sensitive sites. [and not be sitting ducks as more stationary targets]
Under a plan agreed by the parties, deliveries will initially be by air from Urumqi in western China, then transiting through Pakistan to Iran, according to the sources, who did not clarify whether the transfers would take place by air or by road.
Pakistan's military public relations wing ISPR said: "Speculations of Pakistan being involved in supply of Air Defence weapons to Iran from China are absolutely concocted and false."
Exclusive-Iran to get Chinese shoulder-launched missile systems in weeks, sources say

Iran has made it clear to the world they have no intention of keep any treaty, and will continue to attack others at will. They were given every opportunity. The U.S. and Israel need a joint effort to completely isolate Iran and finish hitting all targets.

Pot, kettle.
The only way to have a joint effort with Israel is to do exactly as they say.

Apart from the treaty they kept.
In both 2025 and 2026, the US and Israel attacked others at will.
Iran is not obliged to lie there and take it. So they're obtaining MANPADS.

It depends. Iran's Caspian Sea ports would be too difficult and dangerous to blockade. A few well placed bombs would do the trick.
I am sure that Iranian allies, North Korea, China, and Russia, would not be pleased. That's too bad.
