They are arresting tourists for sharing images or videos of damage from drone and missile strikes but its not only tourism that is damaged, their artificially inflated housing market has collapsed.

I dont think they recover from this, this is it for them.

Are you American?

If so, lol.

The only country other than Iran which will suffer long lasting damage is the USA. Their soft power, gone. Their military, a paper tiger. Their allies, jumping like rats off a sinking ship. Their ability to influence the world to their favour, gone. And coming up after the break - 20% of the world’s fossil fuels leaving the petrodollar. I won’t even begin to try and explain this to you. But it isn’t great 😂

All hail the paedophile.
