Yemen: Ballistic missile fired by Houthi rebels kills 11 civilians, including children

A ballistic missile that was fired by Yemen's Houthi rebels hit a house in Marib, killing Nearly eleven people, comprising women and children

m.republicworld.com

11 Yemen civilians, mostly women and children, are dead by an Iranian-supplied Houthi rocket. I'll await the world's resounding condemnation, which I'm sure is coming any day now... aaaaany day now...

You say this like Iran isn't under a global sanctions regime.

Iranian claims that U.S. tried to detain tanker false, Pentagon says

The Pentagon on Wednesday rejected claims by Iran's Revolutionary Guards that they thwarted an attempt by the United States to detain a tanker carrying the Islamic Republic's oil in the Sea of Oman.

Looks like there was a near clash between the US and Iran in the Persian gulf, although details are still scarce.

Iran claims it thwarted an attempt by the US to "hijack" one of its oil tankers, and brought it safely into Iranian territorial waters.

According to the Iranians IRGC forces were airlifted to the tanker and thwarted an American attempt to transfer the oil into another tanker.

Edit: Iranian media sources published videos of the alleged incident.

Edit 2: I removed the video I posted since I got information that it's not from today, but another event a month ago.

more ethnic cleansing, than genocide.

Nani? There's a difference?

Yeah, this reads of a fake news story for internal propaganda.

One let the USA turn a blind eye towards the actions of the UdSSR.

So communists started killing themselves. Big whoop, no duh the US didn't care. Doesn't mean genocide isn't genocide. And ethnic cleansing is kinda the definition.

Commies were the ones chasing germans out of their homes and soil.

Communists killing communists.

I'm confused by ethnic cleansing not being genocide. Not the Russians and their ways.

 

[GoldRanger]

Yeah, this reads of a fake news story for internal propaganda.

It looks like it really happened (there are new videos of the event, with ridiculous action movie music edited in to boot), but the US seemingly had nothing to do with that tanker.

 

[GoldRanger]

Nani? There's a difference?

The technical difference is that genocide is about killing and ethnic cleansing is about expelling.

 

[King Arts]

Nani? There's a difference?

Yes genocide is where your goal is to wipe out the entire population world wide it’s Nazi autism, while ethnic cleansing is just getting rid of them away from you, you can kill them but if they run away to another nation you won’t hunt them down. If germany in world war 2 right after conquering France offered Britain peace by restoring France minus Alsace Lorraine and requiring the French and British to take in all the Jews expelled from Germany that would be ethnic cleansing and is much more reasonable.

Communists killing communists.

Communist killed more than just communists not everyone in Germany or Poland or Eastern Europe was a communist.

1.That is it.Germans lost,becouse they were cunts.
2.Of course.Before WW2 there were less then 40.000 commies in 35 millions of polish citizens.The same goeas for rest of Europe,even in soviets most victims were normal people,not party members or NKWD thugs.

And back to Iran - their main enemy are and would be turks.Which are stronger then them.If they crush Iran,they would take all their "lost lands" which include Palestina.And would have no problem with genociding jews there.
So,if i lived in country which was once taken by Ottomans,i would do everything i can to help Iran.Becouse when they fell,you would be next.

Why Biden did so? he is China puppet,not Russia,and Iran is allied with Russia,not China.
But - in that case he is right.Iran main enemy is Turkey,secondary Saudi Arabia,and would not fight with USA if USA do not insisted on it.From american point of viev Iran with few H bombs is save,becouse if they use it,they would use it on Istambuł,not other target.

Why republican wont still attack Iran is beyond me.USA had enough real enemies.Becouse Izrael do so? it is stupid,too.Weak Iran mean strong Turkey,and strong Turkey hold Palestine once.And have no problems with genocide.

China Secures Position as Iran's Top Trade Partner - Economy news - Tasnim News Agency

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – China became the Islamic Republic’s top trading partner in the previous Iranian year which ended a few days ago, an official said.

Iran needs China more than it needs Russia. Russia is a competitor, both in oil business and in Syria.

But - in that case he is right.Iran main enemy is Turkey,secondary Saudi Arabia,and would not fight with USA if USA do not insisted on it.From american point of viev Iran with few H bombs is save,becouse if they use it,they would use it on Istambuł,not other target.

Main competitor, perhaps. Enemy, not really. They are both stuck looking at each other respectfully, because both know they are tough bastards and are strong enough that neither of them could win an open and direct fight.
The Arab failed states are the enemy for both. Scratch that, less enemy, more future imperial possessions who still know who do they belong to.

USA wants strong Turkey, that's why they are still tolerated in NATO despite all their shenanigans. They have second biggest NATO army and they keep Russia's southern forces busy.
If Turkey wanted Palestine they would have to occupy Syria and probably also Lebanon first, and that's so much to bite that they would overextend themselves and lose appetite for more.

1.And once Iran was invaded by Russia,and later soviets.But - i do not think it is important for Iranian,unless they want reclaim Caucasus.
And i read something about china owning /or to be precise - rebuilding almost from nothing/ some harbour in Iran.
They have history of navy traffic at least till 630AD - but against,it is probably not important.

2.Turks would start war eventually - but Iran is only one option.Other are Russia and Balkans.When UE fall,nothing really could stop turks from taking at least part of balkans,maybe they even take Vienna this time.
And sure as hell,we would not save fuckers this time.
Arabs - except Syria,and maybe Jordania and Marocco,you are right.What happen to people who once fought both Byzantium and China ?

3.Turks indeed need to take Syria before retaking Jeruzalem.Another reason for Izrael to not fight Iran there - iranian and turks arleady fight there.If i were jewish,i would wish they fought next 100 years there.

Iranians are somewhat interested in Caucasus, as their involvement in the Armenian war shows.
Iran does need China. China are oil buyers who can and will buy any quantity no matter what Uncle Sam, EU or UN says, and in exchange sell them the toys they want.

Oh Turks will start plenty of wars and skirmishes in process of reestablishing their empire. But once they open a direct confrontation with Iran, the old Chinese saying applies - when two tigers fight, one will end up dead, and the other - mortally wounded. The cost will be so great that the imperial ambitions of both will be dead. So they both know to avoid that.

3.Turks indeed need to take Syria before retaking Jeruzalem.Another reason for Izrael to not fight Iran there - iranian and turks arleady fight there.If i were jewish,i would wish they fought next 100 years there.

Well the third party fighting for influence in Syria is Russia.

1.Then USA made Iran China client.And it is shame for entire West,that only country helping christians in that war was Iran.
2.Iran try to avoid that,becouse is weaker.Turkey is stronger,so they could attack.They did so many times in history when they were stronger then Persia,and it never made them mortally wounded.
3.Another reason to not attack Iran.Let them all fought each other for next 100 years.When Izrael attacked Iran,they helped KGBstan,Turkey or both.
