The United States may have to learn the hard way that bullying and using sanctions is not always going to work. In fact, in response to increased sanctions on Iran, the nation has launched military war drills likely with the U.S. in mind.
“I declare the codename for the beginning of this joint air defense drills – Velayat 97, of Islamic Republic of Iran’s military and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,” said Habibollah Sayyari, Deputy Coordinator of Iranian Army.
As President’s Donald Trump’s “toughest ever” sanctions on oil exports, shipping, and banks hit Iran, the country retaliated by launching military drills. Iran’s military took part in defensive drills across the country on the same day the US imposed tough sanctions on the country, seemingly to send a message to the U.S. government. According to the Express UK, Trump says that Iran is struggling already due to his administration’s “very tough” policies.
More than 100 companies have pulled their businesses from Iran due to the further sanctions. Thousands of protesters in response chanted “death to America” on the eve of the sanctions, which target the Middle Eastern country’s vital energy and banking sectors, according to NDTV. Thousands of Iranians chanting “Death to America” rallied on Sunday to mark the anniversary of the seizure of the U.S. Embassy during the 1979 Islamic Revolution too. It wasn’t just about the sanctions, however, those have played a big role in the ratcheting up of political tensions across the globe.
“We’ll see what happens with Iran, but they’re not doing very well, I can tell you,” Trump said. But his words ring hollow as Iranian leader Hassan Rouhani vowed to disobey the U.S. sanctions and his country would continue to sell oil. “America wanted to cut to zero Iran’s oil sales but we will continue to sell our oil to break sanctions,” said Rouhani in defiance of the U.S.’s harsh rhetoric and ink on paper.
“We are working diligently to make sure we support the Iranian people and that we direct our activity towards ensuring that the Islamic Republic of Iran’s malign behavior is changed,” said Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. “That’s the goal, that’s the mission, and that’s what we will achieve on behalf of the president.”
O.K. IRAN GO AHEAD
We have a President that is not afraid.
“The United States may have to learn the hard way that bullying and using sanctions is not always going to work. In fact, in response to increased sanctions on Iran, the nation has launched military war drills likely with the U.S. in mind.”
LMFAO !!! WHO CARES ABOUT THEIR MILITARY DRILLS ??? IRAN IS ONLY A REGIONAL POWER WITH DATED MILITARY EQUIPMENT, NOT A MODERN MILITARY. IRAN IS NOT A SIGNIFICANT MILITARY THREAT TO US; TO THE SAUDIS YES.
IRAN WILL LEARN THE HARD WAY !!! ANY ATTACK BY IRAN WILL GIVE US JUST THE EXCUSE WE NEED TO BOMB THEM BACK INTO THE 19th CENTURY AND ELIMINATE ISLAM ONCE & FOR ALL AS AN ORGANIZED THREAT TO WESTERN CIVILIZATION !!!
DO IT IRAN !!! TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT. THEN WE WILL TAKE OURS !!! 🙂
You my friend are absolutely correct. They can drill and use up all their money on pretend was games, but in the real world, they will be totally destroyed. The Hard Way sometimes is the only war “punks” learn. 18th century, how about the 16th. Dark Ages ah commin for Iran. Thanks for your comments!
DK, their air force alone is a huge joke. Most of the aircraft are F-4s, F-5s, and F14s we sold to them back when the Shah was running the country. Parts aren’t even made for those planes anymore. Their army couldn’t defeat the Iraqi army during the 8 years of the Iraq-Iran war. They can drill and play all they want but they don’t stand a chance against anyone.
I have mentioned the TR-3B several times to this community. I have seen it on two different occasions and those, many years ago. Here is a good youtube video of it in action over the years.

Seeing is believing. Even the Russians don’t have anything like it. Not even close. It’s capabilities have been refined and it’s new weapons system boggle the mind. 🙂
Make sure you stay with the video past the three minute mark. That is where it gets really, really good. BTW, if you do not believe in the Secret Space Program after this video, you haven’t been paying attention. 🙂
Truly, it’s ridiculous to think that Iran could “make the US pay” for “bullying.” See what happened to Iraq? Same thing would happen to Iran.
Oh ! I forgot our President is not a failed Globtroter try out like our last President.
Key board warrior…
YEP! Cruise missile on the way
uh, are they going to march over here ?
+idiots!! +they already have millions here!! +a modern day TET offensive will probably happen…we cant live without electricity and have alot of fat lazy people that cant fight!!–remember, just bc u have old military equipment doesnt mean it still doesnt work, on top of the missing briefcases after the fall of the Soviet Union…the idea that they have been making nukes, they can just trade it with their oil!!
+besides Fedex or UPS whatever here…plus, they dont check every shipping container…we have too many holes they could get us on, dont get too confident!! +thats what happened to the Romans!!
+apparently messing with them for 60+ years and overthrowing their country and telling them what to do is not taken into account why they might be pissed at us…I dont want nothing happening here but, we will get ours here one day from all the countries that we have pillaged and plundered across the globe…
We didn’t overthrow their county shitforbrains. Their own Medieval religious fanatics did that.
I don’t see the caravans coming out of Texas and heading south.
15,
Yes, there millions here, my university Calculus III Professor was Iranian. I have worked with many Iranian engineers. The ones I know were very very pro American and very anti ayatullah. They didn’t like the Shah much either. Maybe because I’ve only been exposed to well educated Iranians, I get the impression that they are trying to assimilate into and not destroy America.
Agreed that America has a lot of fat lazy people that can’t fight nor survive without electricity, They are called Democrats and won’t be missed.
I disagree with your plunder, rape, and pillaging accusations.
as far as I know other than the abuse of native Americans, America has not colonized any other country.
Hezbollah is already here. They could cause some major damage with their terror attacks…. When their cells are activated…
Why don’t you have a big military parade Iran?
Show off your shitty Russian tanks and how goofy your soldiers can march.
That’ll scare ’em.
I’d advise you to show off your air power also but you don’t actually have any of that, do you.
Can’t do a lot of war winning without air power hot rods.
Ww3 lol what a joke
Iran has shit for capabilities. Old 70s tech aircraft from the United States if it’s still flying .
A bunch of old Russian tanks that would be swept aside in a day. And a bunch of troops that would happily surrender to Americans much like Iraqi troops
This site gets worse and worse
Stuart and Anonymous, in Operation Desert Storm, our M1 Abrams were blowing the shit out of those Russian T-72s; the damn turrets just flew right off when struck on impact.
Just another “Fuck the United States” article.
A common theme around here.
I don’t think Mac means it that way. It’s just a technique to stir up us Hoi Polloi.
Iran? Oh please. Persians. Ha ha.
I’m thinking those fiberglass hull Iranian speedboats can’t hold up to Ma Deuce rounds.
It’s a shame their country isn’t run by solid trustworthy people like Gina Haspel, John Bolton, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Adam Schiff, John Brennan, or James Clapper.
They probably should have a humanitarian intervention.
Why do we have sanctions against Iran? What are they doing that we want them not to do? Or, is there something we want them to do that they aren’t?
I don’t read newspapers, watch television, or listen to the radio.

1. They are stirring up shiite in the Middle East through proxies in Syria, Yemen, Quatar… who are fighting against our proxies in the same area who have been stirring up Shiite.
2. They are the Muslim ideological mortal enemies of our buddies the Saudis who keep pissing in our boot as the
A-Rab way to say thank you for all your help.
3. Worst of all – and the unforgivable sin – they started selling oil in something other than U.S. Dollars. Ooops, stepped on their Richard right there. Should have talked to old Muammar in Libya first.
Does that help?
Yes. Thank you, Stuart.

Because they refuse to become a vassal of Merika. How dare they.
For all of the crap Iran has done to the US…. The 1979 Embassy takeover, Marine barracks bombing, IED’s in Iraq and Afghanistan killing US troops. Iran deserves a beat down of epic proportions…
Whether or not Russia will side with Iran which would lead to WWIII is to be determined….
We just might sic Israel on them…….
Israel is only any good at shooting un-armed Palestinan kids in the head.. and even THEN from safe sniper range
When it comes to actual fighing they get their fckin asses kicked…. just like their dumb hitman Zomble USA
It’s time to face REALITY… namely:
As Israel’s HItMan, the USA is the Planet’s #1 WAR0MONGER & PREMIER PROMOTER Of Terrorism.
The 1953 Iranian coup d’état, known in Iran as the 28 Mordad coup d’état (Persian: کودتای ۲۸ مرداد), was the overthrow of Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in favour of strengthening the monarchical rule of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi on 19 August 1953, orchestrated by the United Kingdom (under the name “Operation Boot”) and the United States (under the name TPAJAX Project[5] or “Operation Ajax”),[6][7][8][9] and the first United States covert action to overthrow a foreign government during peacetime.
I just so happen to have been born, here. This is where I keep my stuff, and I have no death wish.
It’s generally considered an act of war, to interfere with the business concerns of a sovereign country or it’s ability to feed itself.
Trump’s overseer’s, the Zionist Jews and the military spy organization demands Trump puts on his bullying pants and threaten Iran – a country that hasn’t invaded another in well over two hundred years. No wonder the U.S. is one of the most hated countries in the world.
Has Iran supported terrorism or war by proxy?
NOTE: Trump NEVER specifies what is so wrong with the Iran treaty ….
just a broad generalization of “It is the worst treaty ever” …
that is the argument of a kindergartner, “MOMMY, I don’t LIIIIIIIIKE IT!”
Trump wants a War with Iran?
! Are HIS sons going to serve in the Front Lines?
Popeo, Haley, Bolton? Are those coward CHICKENHAWKS going?
America, the “MASTERBLASTER” from the movie “Thunderdome” a giant moron ridden on and directed by Twisted Jewish Dwarves ……..
Where are the sanctions on Israel ???
In 2012 the Obama administration promulgated a gag order in the form of a secrecy classification guideline – WNP-136 (PDF) – banning all federal agency employees and contractors from discussing, writing about, or releasing government information about Israel’s nuclear weapons program. https://original.antiwar.com/smith-grant/2018/08/09/can-the-us-keep-lying-about-israels-nukes/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSIpAPWEJFI National Press Club 2/27/2017 Senator Chuck Schumer admits to journalist Sam Husseini that Israel has nuclear weapons. Under the Arms Export Control Act, the U.S. may not provide foreign aid to countries outside the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) absent waivers and sanctions. Despite Israel’s status outside the NPT congress passes multi-billion dollar aid packages every year, which the president signs into law. Transcript follows: CH = Chuck Schumer, SH = Sam Husseini
————————————————-
under the Symington Amendment to the Foreign Appropriations Act and the Glenn Act, it is illegal for the US Government to send our tax money to any nation in possession of nuclear weapons technology that refuses to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty or allow IAEA inspections.
Symington Amendment: Since 1976, every single penny of “aid” to Israel money has been illegal; a crime committed by the US Government against the American people. all that money the US sends to Israel is a CRIME AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
————————————————–
The World should insist Israel live by the standards Israel demands of others. Be judged as Ye judge others. If Israel wants to be recognized, Israel must recognize the EQUALITY and HUMANITY of ALL People. Quit calling NON-Jews SHISKA, GOYIM, GENTILE. If Israel wants Hamas to ‘repudiate’ their charter, Israel must REPUDIATE their manual of hate, the TORAH, which openly proclaims that all ‘gentiles’ should be ‘Hewers of wood, and bearers of water’ …….. for Israel.
Israel must recognize the Native People’s RIGHT to a Palestinian state.
Israel REFUSES to sign the Non Proliferation Treaty or open It’s NUKES to inspection, Israel should have the exact same sanctions that were put on Iran
WHY and by WHOM an American President was MURDERED
“We are concerned with the disturbing effects on world stability which would accompany the development of nuclear weapons capability by Israel. I cannot imagine that the Arabs would refrain from turning to the Soviet Union for assistance if Israel were to develop nuclear weapons capability–with all the consequences this would hold. But the problem is much larger than its impact on the Middle East. Development of nuclear weapons capability by Israel would almost certainly lead other larger countries, that h ave so far refrained from such development, to feel that they must follow suit”
– John F. Kennedy.
Kennedy warned about exactly what is happening now …. have you seen Saudi Arabia now wants nukes.
