Add in the fact AQ is Sunni while Iran is ruled by Shia and it makes no sense.
The enemy of my enemy is useful to me if I can use them to prick my enemy.

And should anyone harp so much on the Sunni-Shia divide when Shi'ite Iran supports Sunni Hamas?

As for Iran being more radical than juche North Korea, its leaders constantly tried attacking foreign Jews and Israel, even when Israel had had no real beef with Iran and in fact supported it during the Iraq-Iran War.

Hell the foreign Jews it attacked often had no connections to Israel at all. They were attacked literally because they're Jews.

The Israeli-Iran struggle is due to Iran essentially. It was self-made by Iran because they want to appeal to racist Arabs by pretending they care about the "Palestinians" thsn their governments, while also allowing its own government and people to enjoy being another standard Islamic anti-semitic who sounds more like a neo-nazi and Christian Dominionist (this time in Muslim flavor).

North Korea is not like Iran.

We also have not had any threats from North korea in awile, nor as far as we know, they do not have the range to reach the US with its missles.

Iran is accusing the United States of piracy as they file a lawsuit to seize the cargo of a Liberian flagged tanker, the Achilleas, off the shore of Galveston, Texas.

Hellenic Shipping News said:
Washington filed a lawsuit earlier this month to seize the cargo, alleging that Iran sought to mask the origin of the oil by transferring it to several vessels before it ended up aboard the Liberian-flagged Achilleas tanker destined for China.


During the Trump Administration last year over a million barrels of Iranian oil were seized and sold by Washington due to the ongoing sanctions.

Although the sites where the material was found are believed to have been inactive for nearly two decades, opponents of the nuclear deal, such as Israel, say evidence of undeclared nuclear activities shows that Iran has not been acting in good faith.

As you were saying?

It's not over yet! Breaking news folks!


The difference between Trump and Biden's deterrence effect on the Iranians is really stark.
Trump's "crazy man" act is in large part why he was actually remarkably successful with foreign affairs. People knew he meant business and wouldn't hesitate to back up his red lines...so they got their shit in order and didn't fuck around.

And because of that, we saw more peace development in the region than we have in a long time.

Now everyone knows Biden is weak and they will be pushing and pushing to see how much they can get away with.

I wouldn't be surprised to see all of Trump's progress reversed.

Yep. A senile old man who served as the vice president for Obama, the guy who put his foot down and declared a red line vis a vis Syria, the latter brazenly crossed that line within DAYS, and he did absolutely nothing, exposing his bluff for the entire world to see. Who's going to be afraid of this loser?

Trump's progress is going to be reversed and then some. I hope that when the GOP regains power, whether in 2024 or later, it will reinstate all of Trump's policies, reverses all of Biden's policies, and makes sure that reversing it would be harder for a future Democrat administration. These people don't have any shame, and will not learn otherwise.
