That’s terrible. Just awful.


I can’t even….

As do I.

Fuck I love it. Wonder if there is a big hole in the side......

I doubt it.

This looks like good, old fashioned incompetence.

Some details on the sinking:

The Sahand was stationed in the southern port of Bandar Abbas

Or maybe they’ve turned it into a submarine.

Decent column in WFP on the Iranian election.

Your loss. It consistently rates as one of the least biased papers in the country and isn't owned by foreigners like the National Post for example, Americans or otherwise.

Whatever’s about to happen will probably be soon. Basically everyone has told their citizens to GTFO of Lebanon by any means and a lot of airlines have stopped flights there. The Brits just evacuated the families of their Beirut embassy staff, and we had a C-17 depart Beirut this morning with unspecified passengers on board.

I’m seeing reports of an unusual amount of GPS jamming in both Israel and Iran today.

The sun went down there an hour or two ago.

Here it comes. Terrifying that two nuclear states could be duking it out in the next few days.

I have to laugh at all the media saying "This could stoke a regional conflict" Gee it already looks to be a regional conflict for the last few years.
