Bro… what has Iran ever done to you? I expect you still think there are WMDs in Iraq (other than the ones the US brought). How about Muammar Gaddafi? Bad guy or someone looking to use his country’s resources for his country’s citizens? And the you have Iran…CIA topples their democratically elected president because England and the US want their oil. Now look up Antimony and who has just discovered loads of it.

rbraalih

Nobody cares We have gone from Only GUH 57 bomb can halt the program to Not even GUH 57 bomb is any use. CIA can try to get khameini toppled, or US marines can go in from Iraq and the gulf, or Iran gets the bomb and uses it on Israel and spy to 750

Much of the 3rd world population see's America as an imperialist entity are they just dumb and misguided? Because I see everything the CIA and Pentagon did since ww2 as a strong case as to why they'd feel that way. You can asses this for yourself but I'd look into what neocolonialism is and see the argument into why Western colonialism ever really ended. I understand the impulse in being done with every criticism of America turning into a demonization. I think its important to recognize that there's a health middle ground in between going death to America mode and extreme American exceptionalism.

No, shah was over thrown because he was bought by CIA after a democracy was over thrown in 1950s(So west can control the urban nationalized oil) Is that so hard to understand, was i speaking French??🤷🤷

I don’t have twitter or his own app (so not sure which this is) but can we just remind ourselves how fucked up it is that America seems to use Twitter as its main diplomatic negotiation outlet. Watching homeland in the past, there seemed to be intelligence communities, congressional hearings, CIA and lots of ambassadors and embassies involved. Now, it’s one guy shouting at a girl logged into Twitter on a laptop. 😳

I don't understand, can you just do a surprise bombing and decides to ceasefire right after? Perhaps then do another surprise bombing? Or maybe tell the Ayatollah to come out now because he's no longer target of CIA assassination? 🤷‍♂️

Yep sure I’m sure the CIA and all the spying and wiretapping and satellites has noo idea anything thats going on with the uranium😂

Nearby_Initial8772

Show me where they said that lol. All major and credible news outlets are saying it’s officially a ceasefire. If you have some sort of insider knowledge with the Iranian leader where he told you it won’t be recognized I’m sure the CIA would love to have this information.

butt_huffer42069

It's a bit more complicated than the Saudis funding Al Qaeda. 15 of the 19 hijackers for 9/11 were Saudi citizens. The CIA funded and trained the mujahadeen during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and the Saudi's matched US money dollar for dollar, which gave Bin Laden the foundation and funding to create Al Qaeda. Some factions of the Saudi government and royal family did also fund Al Qaeda- but probably not the king or crown prince; there are a lot of conflicting interests in the royal family, and some want to topple the royal family. As far as your first paragraph- yeah pretty much? There were neoconservatives in the Bush Administration who wrote and believed in a paper called "Project for a New American Century" which laid out the guidelines for American power projection thru wars to push and then protect American business interests. Once Iraq devolved into civil war, it was way too late to put the cat in the bag, and no other president wanted to pull out and have 'losing a war' on their record. Iran played their hand very well, and after gaining influence in the Iraqi government utilized the opportunity to use Iraq for oil sales, tourism, and other economic activities to help lessen the impact of sanctions. I could give you links to some documentaries, Frontline did a great one on Iran & Saudi Arabia for starters and it delves into that towards the end of part 1. I also highly recommend the book "Blowback: The Cost and Consequence of American Empire"

Trump openly calling for a regime change is wild, did the CIA not tell him that's the part we don't say out loud?

It will be within the USA during the Biden administration they open door the whole immigration and Iranian are already here we need to pressure our government to take this seriously FBI and CIA are looking into the sleeper agent from Iran

Certain_Bother_2044

Iran was the first CIA coup. It was a bit of a lark, they gave a drunk guy, who turned out to be Teddy Roosevelt’s grandson, the equivalent of a few hundred thousand dollars and basically told him he couldn’t influence who became Irans next leader. He replaced their government twice in 96 hours. They couldn’t believe how easy it was. It was so easy that “regime change” became the basic primary activity of CIA for the next 50 years. Now we’ve interfered with or flat-out overthrown almost every government on earth, including our own. I expect CIA will soon return to their roots and the stock markets will return to their frenzied greed. Like the worst market collapses, all the best coups seem to happen in the fall.

Brisbanoch30k

I know about the Mollah regime since Mossadegh was removed by the Brits and the CIA to replace him by the Shah and then the Islamic revolution that put the current theocratic authoritarian regime in place. My mother’s best friend was a refugee, fled Iran when the Shah fell. What I am befuddled by is that guy in the White House being about as articulate as a special needs sixth grader.

You’re probably better off just downloading ChatGPT and having this conversation with it directly. Here’s its response: There is no credible evidence that any government—Israeli or otherwise—informed U.S. officials a month before 9/11 that the World Trade Center would be hit specifically by hijacked airplanes. Here’s what the record actually shows: ⸻ 🕵️‍♂️ 1. Warnings existed—but generic • U.S. intelligence agencies, including the CIA, warned about Osama bin Laden plotting “spectacular” hijacking attacks in the U.S. These warnings referenced possible hijackings, not that planes would be used as missiles targeting WTC.  • On August 6, 2001—roughly five weeks before 9/11—President Bush received a daily briefing titled “Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US”, warning of hijacking activity and surveillance of federal buildings in New York.  ⸻ 🇮🇱 2. Alleged Israeli warning? • Conspiracy theories have suggested that Mossad warned the FBI of a “major assault” involving up to 200 terrorists entering the U.S. in August 2001. However: • These claims are unsubstantiated and appear only in conspiracy-focused discussions. • No credible, verifiable sources or official records support the idea that Israel provided a specific warning about planes targeting the WTC.  ⸻ ✅ 3. What official investigations confirmed • The 9/11 Commission Report and other authoritative inquiries found: • Plenty of general warnings about al‑Qaeda operations, including hijacking threats. • No warning specifically identifying planes as missiles into the WTC. • No evidence that any foreign government warned the U.S. about planes being used as weapons.  • NORAD and other agencies did not foresee the possibility of commercial airliners being used as weapons.  ⸻ 🔎 Summary Table

The current iranian regime came into power through a coup that was engaged with the CIA setting off bombs in Tehran. Then the subsequent Iranian hostage crisis was a response to the US harboring the old shah and giving him a comfortable life. The Shaheen that committed atrocities on his people that make kameini look like a saint. No hostages were killed. Iran only supports terrorism as far as organizations they train and support making independent decisions to do so. The same goes for the US, see the Taliban. Any alleged terrorist attack by Iran was assassination attempts on former Iranians who were exiled in those countries. Hardly meets the definition of terrorism. Awful shit but not terrorism. And then we have the terrorist that have "links" to Iran, or an Iranian or associate of an Iranian being a terrorist. That is not state sponsored. If you want to play the history game with Iran the US is that bad guy. And the term terrorism is weaponized for people against US interests. When Iran is supporting militant groups fighting guerilla warfare, that's not terrorism. 9/11 is terrorism. Hamas commits terrorism and Israel commits terrorism in Palestine. Iran did not directly fund or coordinate the acts of Hamas. Basically cheering after the attack FAFO to Israel. Going back 50 years is insane especially when that pre-dates the current government. Why don't you give me an example of an actual terrorist act Iran directly supported conclusively. Not something Israel said. And not US designation but international terrorist designation. Now compare that to what the US and Israel do. Do you know how many terrorist attacks Israel and western ideological groups have committed in Iran in the last 50 years? Over 500. But you never hear about it in your ivory tower news cycle do you? Terrorism: Terrorism is the use of violence and intimidation, often against civilians, to achieve political or ideological goals. The IDF is the largest terrorist organization in the world currently.

I wonder how many Americans know *why* there's a mentalist theocratic regime in Iran? Hint: it involves the CIA mounting a coup for the benefit of US oil companies.

Limp_Incident_8902

Yeah im not so much saying that. I dont claim to be even educated on the entire Israel saga, and the Middle East has been a hotbed of incredibly violent activity. I dont really subscribe to Israeli motivated violence, nor jihad motivated violence, I think the entire area is motivated by things I cant get behind. But I watched a documentary about those beepers that mossad blew up. Fucking insane. I used to think the CIA was terrifying. I still do, but mossad is a cut above. But as far as Israel vs anyone in the middle east- Israel is the closest thing to western civilization amongst them, so I 100% would prefer that proliferate vs something like sharia style Islam. Call me a xenophobe or what have you, i am. If Islam, Judaism, and Christianity can't be happy maintaining the territory they currently have ( they cant), then im either rooting for Christianity (im not religious), or Judaism, as those are the two that can peacefully coexist without wanting to make a vhs tape of me getting beheaded.

I hate Iran (the government) just as much as anyone else here and I think they shouldn't get the bomb but there were diplomatic avenues to achieve this goal. Numerous intel agencies, CIA included, stated that Iran was far away from producing a nuclear bomb

I have been to iran, thats not true, they prefer this regime over the shah, they are shia majority in iran, yes the new gen is more liberal but they dont want a shah puppet This is like saying Americans dont like their govt.. ofcourse they dont but that doesn't mean a regime change Saying death to usa make sense since we keep bombing them, inserted a shah who killed 10,000s, who wouldn't say that I mean didnt CIA toppled a democracy and inserted the shah? I mean surely you cant be this naive or an idiot? Right? Did you not know? Please read Iran history

The Irony is that the entire US intelligence apparatus is of the opinion they are not building nukes. No one will sanction the US because most countries really don't care unless it impacts their interests. >"My intelligence community is wrong." >With those words, Donald Trump waved away the advice of the entire US spy infrastructure — from the CIA, to the Defence Intelligence Agency, to the intelligence arms of the US Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force — and its assessment that Iran was not trying to build a nuclear weapon. >That assessment was presented to the US Congress in March by Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's hand-picked director of National Intelligence. >"The IC \[intelligence community\] continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon," Ms Gabbard said. >"Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorised a nuclear weapon program that he suspended in 2003." >On Wednesday, Donald Trump said simply, "She's wrong."

Jumpy_Childhood7548

It is possible nuclear material will be released into the atmosphere. We don’t know whether they may already have one or more nuclear devices. In the Cuban missile crisis, the CIA and DOD told Kennedy the nuclear missiles in Cuba, could not be launched yet. Years later we found out they were wrong. Our intelligence is imperfect, and those giving it are involved in covert action, not exactly objective.

Sorry to post on this old thread. I am looking at Palantir, I can't figure out if it is a product company or consulting company. If its a product company, the valuation implies its product is far superior to its competitors. Looking the its software's use cases, I would describe it as the modern data analytics version of SAP. But SAP's dominance in enterprise space took decades to build, comparing to Palantir's rapid rise. If its a consulting company, then the scalability/human capital issue would demand a lower valuation. Assuming its a product company I can't find any specifics about Palantir's software would make them (far) superior to Snowflake combined with Power BI. Many describe the company's software having some super AI powered, big data analytic capabilities that are highly sought after by military or CIA types. But what are the specifics of this capability? And to justify the current valuation, such capability must also have broad application across many industries and can be largely implemented out of box. I am skeptical.

Happy_Discussion_536

Yes but they are far closer to a bomb than they were before. How close? CIA thinks they are very close. IAEA thinks enough enriched uranium for 10 bombs. Bottom line Israel is going with or without US, believes Iran keeps funding terror nonstop and they have to act. What you and I think about Iran is irrelevant. So we can do nothing and watch like idiots while oil goes up or we can try to force a quick solution. It's really what it comes down to. Ofc in the next two weeks Israel makes enough progress or Iran backs down that would also be desirable. But if it deteriorates we have no choice.

So 10 hours ago, Trump said unconditional surrender on twitter. I assume this means he convened with his security council and essentially made a decision. Lets say it takes 4 hours to inspect and take a MOP out of a bunker and fuel up a B2 bomber, load the munitions. Assuming a 10 hour flight to Iran from Missouri, I estimate.... Either big boom in Iran by the US before midnight and I get a call/job offer from the CIA. Or calls tomorrow!

You know the CIA is desperately working overtime at this very moment to ship out any rebel group in Iran willing to attack US soil in to justify a full invasion. Probably offering money to anyone who will take it..

Regan didn't serve because of poor eyesight that plagued him even as president. He still was part of the reserves and has a thorough military education. Bush joined the Texas Air National Guard in 1968 during the Vietnam War era. Bush trained as a pilot, completed Air Force flight training, and served as an F-102 fighter pilot Obama retained Robert Gates as Secretary of Defense, a rare move since Gates was originally appointed by President George W. Bush. Gates had a long career in the CIA and the National Security Council, and was widely respected for his understanding of military and intelligence operations. Obama also appointed retired four-star Marine General James Jones as his first National Security Advisor. Jones brought decades of military leadership, including serving as Supreme Allied Commander in Europe for NATO. Together, Gates and Jones gave Obama access to military advice from leaders who had commanded at the highest levels and had bipartisan credibility

We are owned by the Jews… Iran is a fucking terrorist country run by a bunch of primitive towel heads. If it comes to all out war civilians won’t be protected nearly as much as the afghanis. We will fucking bomb Iran into oblivion just like Palestine without a single fuck given.

I would be surprised if the US didn't just lie about it and say it was a non military use and then use it in military uses anyway. Unless they're going to prevent exports of certain minerals altogether. Believe it or not, the titanium that was used to make the SR-71 came from the Soviet Union fenced through various shell companies and third countries via the CIA (they said they needed it for pizza ovens).

En_CHILL_ada

That is the better way to look at it. Whether it's the CIA, the military, political leadership, diplomats, or foreign aid programs, they all appear to be working for an oligarchy and their trans-national corporate interests. Which I think really adds credence to my initial point, that war is profitable for the people who own the means of production.

En_CHILL_ada

Rockefeller's standard oil was not in the defense industry, yet he funded Hitler's re-armerment of Germany. The armored cars that made Hitler's blitzkriegs possible were made in Ford factories by their German subsidiary. Haliburton is not a defense contractor, yet they profited greatly from the oil fields of Iraq. Big pharma is not defense, yet they profited greatly when Afghanistan started producing >90% of the world's opium, the raw material their synthetic opiod pills are made from. Blackrock is not a defense contractor, yet they will profit greatly from the contracts to rebuild Ukraine and mine their rare earth minerals. It is not just the weapons manufacturers who profited from war. Behind every war there have been bankers and corporations who stand to profit from it. Remember when the CIA and MI6 overthrew the government of Iran in 1953? They did that for the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, now rebranded BP. This is what set the stage for Iran to become the adversary they are now. And it was done for the profits of capitalists. Beyond just the wide variety of different corporations who all stand to profit from war, governments can generally get away with more aggressively suppresing domestic dissent during war time. Governments and corporations suppress labor union organization during times of war. Governments suppress political dissent and can more easily paint those dissenters as unpatriotic during times of war. Governments massively increase spending on domestic industry during times of war. There are usually small dips in the stock market when wars break out, but those are never sustained. The markets love war. That is why we are always fighting someone, somewhere.

We're already involved of course, just depends on polymarket defines and verifies Supplying imagery and intelligence: yes Supplying aircraft: yes Supplying munitions: yes Defending counter attacks: yes We may not have boots on the ground (like we 'don't have CIA in Iran') officially but rest assured USA is most certainly involved

You’re not wrong… CIA dealing with unintended consequences is kind of par for the course. I do think this latest spat probably begrudgingly is in line with US policy… it’s been brooding for months.

---Right--Tackle---

They are a paper tiger. CIA is on that shit too. It isn’t 2000 anymore if you have not noticed.

luplumpuck

Are you a complete fucking idiot? Why don't you give me "CIA leaks" about UFO's too

Zeppu

That's what a CIA agent would say

twostroke1

Sir this is a sub of degenerate gamblers. Not geopolitical experts and CIA agents.

Skinnypanda1

Honestly, everyones talking about puts and calls while this whole situation in the middle east was caused by the CIA

IllUpvoteEverything

Answer me this question, does the CIA care when their analysts invest using classified information? Might be a fringe benefit that makes it worth considering.

azavio

they don’t need to officially. CIA, DIA and NSA knew

IncomingAxofKindness

He's calling the CIA to make sure Iran doesn't know where he sleeps.

shindiggaa

That's the difference between Mossad and the CIA

FuckleUp

Obvious remove head of snake 🐍 operation going on. No citizen targets. CIA Mossad coup being formed for the citizens of Iran against the Ayatollah gov since late 70s

Movies are always about KGB, CIA, MI5, but in real life, Israeli agents are the real deal.

NotRllytho

The CIA should get back into regime changes and back a Kurdish state.

Treaties don’t matter when the CIA kidnaps you while you’re on a family holiday in Indonesia 🥱

My take is that this is basically one step short of asteroid mining - you can point to a big rock or undersea formation or whatever and say it's worth a trillion dollars, but it'd cost you a hundred trillion dollars to actually get all the valuable stuff out of it. I'm sure the CIA is glad to have some cover story opportunities back though.

CIA stock

I’m curious what the CIA man said to Elon to cause such a dramatic flip

DrElkSnout

I am 100% convinced that TSLA is the vehicle of choice (see what I did there?) for CIA / MIC bs going on. No fucking way period it should be ramping like it does everyone hates it. It simply doesn't make sense.

cesvrr_

Why did they wait until the weekend to riot in LA? Doubt any of those people have jobs anyway so not like they were busy. Seems like the CIA can only run their psyops on the weekend when market is closed.

BerSlayer

The CIA has access to super viagra

LookUpTower7

Yeah you couldn't clear that red tape......unless.....you funded the political rise of the vice president of the most powerful country that's ever existed. Look how quickly 9-11 opened the door for government surveillance. Palantir is funded by the CIA. Its public. Google "palantir CIA". Maybe its crazy...but so is buying NVDA puts. Not a lot of lottery tickets out there that make a small bit of sense.

LookUpTower7

Do those companies have direct access to the current Vice President and potentially the future president who makes decision on FAA ruling and military contracts? Its well documented the that Palantir is a CIA front. They joke about it. Doesn't this seem to fit? Any attack on soil other than Russia would cause an avalanche of citizen panic which would open the door for further government surveillance?

MutaliskGluon

No need CIA and FBI are already on top of that

Der_Hebelfluesterer

CIA will take him out with a grenade in the toilet of his private jet soon.

mnshitlaw

Counter play: Thiel says something in private criticizing Trump and is subject to a “defund him and his company from all government contracts” and its profit goes to close to zero (as its use by Israel is underwritten by our CIA).
