@fox A senior US official tells me that it was a US military strike on Iran’s Qeshm port and Bandar Abbas moments ago but added this is NOT a restarting of the war or end to the ceasefire.

you can't just bomb their port and say "chill guys this isn't a breaching of the ceasefire" soon the US will find out

Idk. Israel seems to pull off bombing stuff during pretty much every “cease fire” they’re part of. They just bombed Beirut a day or two ago again

pheakelmatters May 7, 2026 +46
yeah because Israel bombs places without a military that's capable of striking back

Exactly, Israel only joins strikes on iran when US is involved 😭 It’s like a Chihuahua barking behind gate in front of their owner and then when it opens they run behind them for help 🤣 Israel is much more comfortable attacking people who can’t fight back beyond small arms fire and throwing rocks

Iran did this to the UAE like 2 days ago. This is obviously the retaliation.

You absolutely can if you’re the US, because they have a lot more strike options available to them relative to the IRGC.

Neither can you fire missiles at US warships without expecting a response?

They didn’t? Read the article again, it says US military came under fire **after** attacks on Iranian oil tanker.

It would seem Israel’s influence has waxed off on them if they think they get to pick and choose when to follow a ceasefire and not.

"Why are we fighting Iran?" "They hate us and want to nuke us" "Why do they hate us?" "I don't know. We've just been trying to overthrow their governments and exploit their resources since the 1950s." "Do you think they would hate us if we just left them alone and let them take care of their own business?" "Leave... them... alone?"

Let me get this straight. So Iran fired on American military ships which have already won the illegal war that they were engaged in while also under cease fire orders? Do I have that right?

ChuckNorrisUSAF May 7, 2026 +9
The sad thing is, I believe Iran over our own f****** government based on all the bullshit spewing out of the administrations mouths. They can’t even get their stories straight. The media already outted them heavily for trying to cover up the extent of the early missile attacks on US forces / infrastructure. The USA is losing the PR game for this conflict and that’s telling. We usually spin things around on the “other guy”

... When the US started the war?

defroach84 May 7, 2026 -8
So, in your theory, Iran is welcome to break a cease fire and you will blame it on the US? The whole thing about Iranian defenders and mouthpieces? Yup. This is one.

Error_404_403 May 7, 2026 +17
By your logic, Israel broke the ceasefire even before that by attacking Lebanon, right? Iran didn’t break ceasefire because it didn’t attack a party of that ceasefire agreement.

defroach84 May 7, 2026 +5
Yeah, I'm not gonna defend Israel on anything they do.

Also bad. Also exacerbated by unnecessary and f****** laughable US handling of the situation. Also a complex situation that's been mishandled for decades because lol oil. Also your reply is disingenuous.

defroach84 May 7, 2026 -18
As was their post. The US has done a terrible job at this whole war, but that is Trump and his dumbassery. What is even funnier are the accounts on here pretending Iran is an innocent victim in this war and defending them, after they slaughtered 10s of thousands of their own just weeks before. Not that it justified the war, both sides are in the wrong.

thetransportedman May 8, 2026 +6
This black and white thinking is so f'ing annoying on here. Being anti war with Iran is not pro Iran and anti American. This BS logic was used on criticizing israel being equated to pro Hamas

defroach84 May 8, 2026 +2
I honestly believe these topics are being brigaded by accounts trying to cause discourse by trying to make everyone divided.

In this war, the US is wrong. One side. Period. In an unrelated news, government of Iran and in particular their Revolutionary Guard, are absolutely terrible .

defroach84 May 7, 2026 +2
So, are you hoping the current regime survives? Or do you hope they fall?
2
Error_404_403 May 7, 2026 +10
I personally hope, since you asked, that the US administration would begin to listen to the professionals and support the Iranian opposition fully when it matters and in the way it matters so that the radicals in Iranian government can be replaced with moderates.
10
defroach84 May 7, 2026 +4
So we agree the regime needs to go and the US is doing an absolute terrible job at it.

CryptographerShot213 May 7, 2026 +11
It’s not really our job to usher in the regime change though, especially since Iran wasn’t bothering us. The U.S. fancies itself as the world police, which is kinda weird and actually harmful.
11
defroach84 May 7, 2026 +5
I don't disagree there. Iran wasn't a threat to the US in its current form. However, if the war is happening, I rather good come from it. And that good is for the people of Iran by having their government overthrown. I rather it come from them internally, but that can't happen due to the way the army is set up there.

Error_404_403 May 7, 2026 +1
Iran is one of only two quasi-democratic Muslim countries in the region, and to call its institutions “a regime” is unwise. Iran’s governance system should stay, but people in charge should be replaced and the democracy strengthened at the expense of the cleric power. Only under Obama did US take a half-decent step in this direction.

defroach84 May 7, 2026 +4
There is no democracy when they people you elect have no power. The problem comes from the top, when you have an all powerful Ayatollah who determines what can and cannot happen, regardless what people vote on. That is far from a democracy. Trying to figure out if you are ignoring Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo, Indonesia, Pakistan,, Lebanon, Bangladesh, Turkey, or Malaysia on your list. That is before getting into African countries....

And you drew that conclusion of what they said,.. how???

defroach84 May 7, 2026 +5
I mean, we both agreed both sides are bad in this. So, to me, it's hard to feel bad for Iran in saying who struck first since the cease fire.
5
HatchingCougar May 7, 2026 +6
Hard to feel bad for the US as well, seeing that out of greed - it’s been nearly constantly militarily f****** with Iran since 1953. 73 years of US coups, assassinations, promoting and supporting an invasion, decapitation strikes during negotiations & many military strikes over the years The Iranian regime is awful, but their attitude towards the US is understandable
6
defroach84 May 7, 2026 +2
They can have that attitude and actually treat their people well. I do agree on principle. They do need an enemy, that is the US. But, apparently, also their own citizens. Hard to feel bad for any of the government there.

yes the trump pedo regime should fall, there's only one party that attacked first by murdering 164 school girls. Or do you support the murder of children?

Weird defense of Iran, yet again. Is it that hard to say both are bad? I hope the Epstein files do come out and do f*** Trump.

They were not a part of the US+Israel/Iran war. They were a part of long-standing hostilities in the region exacerbated by the US.

defroach84 May 7, 2026 +6
Wait, you are defending them attacking the UAE when the UAE has never attacked Iran? Please explain what long standing hostilities caused Iran to be justified in attacking the UAE?
6
Error_404_403 May 7, 2026 +7
I defended no one. I only separated the wrong US war against Iran and other hostilities between Iran and other Middle East (Sunni) countries that were ongoing for years.

defroach84 May 7, 2026 +1
You failed to show what the UAE did to deserve the attack. You are defending Iran attacking them unprovoked.
1
Error_404_403 May 7, 2026 +7
I didn’t intend to pass a judgment on who deserves what. But UAE weren’t a part of the US/Iran ceasefire agreement and therefore Iran didn’t break it striking them.
7
defroach84 May 7, 2026 +1
So, Iran is attacking allies of the US that the US has defense treaties with, which, by attacking, the US can defend them. So, yeah, your logic doesn't work.
1
Error_404_403 May 7, 2026 +7
What kind of an ally is that if it isn’t even included in the ceasefire agreement?? Just another country with the US bases which has hostilities with Iran like forever.
7
defroach84 May 7, 2026 +2
You serious? Should Japan have been included in the ceasefire? So, basically, you agree Iran broke the cease fire by attacking a defensive ally of the US, pulling the US back into it 🙄

I’m so confused, I thought Cpt Bonespurs and Thirsty Pete said that Iran was ‘Completely defeated militarily but they just don’t know it….’ Is this the part of them not knowing it or something?

So we are continuing to fight but say cease fire is still on. This is a way for administration to not have congress intervene. This is a clear violation of law.

Hellstorm901 May 7, 2026 -9
And so begins another round of Iran claiming to have sunk/heavily damaged US warships, showing an AI or old photo as proof then claiming they only used the photo for reference and then claiming it is true because you haven't seen the ships anymore then when the ships turn up perfectly fine the Iranians claim they never actually said they sank/heavily damaged them but really attacked them and "scared them off" I'm genuinely getting tired of this, this isn't a defence of Trump, this is simply calling out what is Iran's equal amounts of ridiculousness

Responsible-Clock715 May 8, 2026 +1
So far I don’t believe a word about the war from Washington. They lie like a rug. Iran has more credibility than US when it comes to newsworthy discussions of peace talks. Can’t believe a word from Dt.
