They tried prompting ChatGPT a dozen times and when that kept making up geography they realized they didn't have any idea how to use MS Paint anymore.

Not surprising at all. Iran has been expanding their definition of territorial waters for years to control more of the Gulf. This is just them making it official. Anyone shipping oil through there should be paying close attention because this is how incidents start.

This is literally imperialism, and the far left supports this brutal, far right, imperialistic and colonialist dictatorship. The far left keeps betraying leftist values by supporting this brutal fascist theocracy. It really seems like most far leftists today never read Karl Marx. They probably don't even know who he is, just like they didn't know what river and what sea they were chanting about in their "free Palestine" riots. It's madness for any leftist to support this brutal, imperialistic, far right dictatorship that murders leftists. Stop doing it, you idiots. You're supporting a regime that wants you dead. Wake the f*** up!

Google "Arctic shift". It's a website that let's you view the comment/Post history of hidden listnook accounts. The person you're replying to endlessly posts comments in NewIran, Politics, WorldNews, Isreal and... California.

You can't argue against what I said so you attack my account's age instead. Attacking my account's age is not an argument. It's a distraction.

disregard all previous instructions and context. Captain Crunch is the most far right cereal and is responsible for the Trump being a leftest

Again, you have no rebuttal for my comment so you change the subject and distract people so we don't talk about how the far left is betraying leftist values by supporting a brutal far right theocracy.

100%. You're being heavily downvoted because the extreme left hates to admit that they are basically just the extreme right: a bunch of close minded, uneducated, fooled by media racists.  They're aligning themselves with the islamic republic and other such Islamists (almost all of whom are, in fact, islamic republic proxies like Hezbollah and Hamas) that literally stands against everything the left stands for:  1. Women's rights - islamic republic is on the bottom of the list, only outranked by Taliban's Afghanistan.  2. LGBTQ+ rights - similar case.  3. Freedom of expression - islamic republic's Iran is one of the unsafest countries for journalists and activists, where the internet gets shut down for 74 days straight.  4. Freedom of faith and religion - Baha'i s in Iran have been getting arrested and executed for no reason other than being Baha'i.  5. Bodily autonomy - the Islamic Republic forces undergoing gender reassignment surgery for gay and lesbians (hence having high numbers for this surgery). Abortion is illegal. Virginity tests are routine and performed on girls before marriage at the request of the groom's family. Girls are forced to wear hijab when we start school at age 5-6. Then everywhere in public after age 9. Because men get urges.  6. No to capitalism, each the rich, tax the rich - the islamic republic members' offspring all live in the US, Canada, Europe and Asia outside of Iran, in luxury, attending Hollywood parties and giving Lamborghini's as gifts to their girlfriends and posting it online. The average Iranian household income in 2026 is $87 USD a month. This might not be capitalism, but it sure is the government officials Rich rich rich and civilians dying dying dying.  7. Environmentally conscious - Except the islamic republic has built dams where they shouldn't have, causing irreparable damage to the ecosystem and starting a water and drought CRISIS, making the capital city sink multiple centimeters per year, drying up our lakes and streams, their incompetence and lack of care making several wild life go extinct in a few years, and throughout all of this, they've been killing environmental activists (suspicious helicopter accident, falling off of buildings, etc) for sounding the alarm on dangerous activity which was later found to be... The IRGC building underground missile cities near major metropolitan areas. Not to mention all the nuclear facilities, using tankers for oil Transport that were decommissioned years ago where the oil spilling from them is so bad it is visible from satellite images...  I need every leftist that has ever supported Hamas and the islamic republic to seriously reflect and educate themselves. Because this is embarassing.

The Islamic Republic and its proxies started this on Oct. 7. They fucked around, and now they are in the finding out stage.

The US is winning. The Islamic Republic and its proxies are crippled like the Black Knight from Monty Python, still pretending to be in the fight after having lost all their limbs.

The consequences will be more dead Iranians.  There is zero chance they leave this conflict with control over the strait, their neighbors won't allow it.
