Pentagon Pizza Index increased massively overnight. Something's afoot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagon_pizza_theory
I don't find it surprising if the next "regime change" is Iran considering Iran is the last thorn in the Middle East. Internally, Iran has a lot of problems (5 large families controlling) in their admin. i.e. some with close tie to the power base are better off/better equipped than the others. I also foresee that any action taken against Iran will come from Israel as they have people on the ground to gather intelligence and information. Â
Protests still happeningÂ

I know it might be funny but try not to use too many gifs too often, coz you are going to spoil the thread.
I think a better phrase is "Iran is the last standing opposing nation in the middle east ..." (thorn in the side?)Â
(note: I love gif but I might get ban using them. LOL!)

you might think it is better but it's pretty meaningless - opposing who, who is everyone else fully onboard with ?
It's also an attempt to paint the IRGC with more legitimacy than they deserveÂ
I was looking at military flights over the North Sea and then zoomed out and spotted a Global Hawk looping around UAE and Straits of Hormuz.

Exactly. It's a ridiculous thing to say because the region is full of competing groups. None of them are really friends of the U.S., but many want support from the U.S. because they are opposed to Iran. Beyond the "enemy of my enemy" motivation, they all have their own agendas that only align with the U.S. in that they oppose Iran.
