| 61. Author: OzPar Date: Fri 6th Mar 2026. 20:55 Ipswichpar, some brave people are posting footage on X, but it doesn`t last long on there. And Jake, Mossad has tentacles everywhere. Seriously, watch this programme. This is the truth of what is going on... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eefs75z6py Reply |
| 62. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Sat 7th Mar 2026. 00:40 https://dafc.net/forum/read.php?f=37&i=74800&t=74800 Oz eight months ago on the above thread you stated that 30% of Tel Aviv now looked like Gaza. You said it`s financial district had been virtually destroyed. Huge chunks of the city flattened. Two of Israel`s biggest ports out of action. All of which you said hadn`t been reported by the mainstream media. I`m assuming you made those statements in good faith because you had seen it reported by anonymous online sources. Yet surely in the last eight months, someone, somehow would have smuggled out verifiable footage of this destruction. Tel Aviv is a big city, a third of it destroyed can`t be easily hidden. Ports not being in working order would have caused reasonably big shortages seeing as 60% of Israeli imports is seaborne cargo. It was obviously all just nonsense and you had been duped. You were told what you wanted to be true and so you believed it. Just like now. This military adventurism probably isn`t going to end well yet I wouldn`t discount totally the Iranian regime surviving in one shape or another but who knows. Trump needs this wrapped up quickly but the Iranian regime will be able to hold on unless forces on the ground change the dynamics and surely it`s unthinkable for American troops to be sent in? And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
| 63. Author: OzPar Date: Sat 7th Mar 2026. 03:19 TOWK, you`re right to call out my June claim that 30% of Tel Aviv`s CBD was destroyed—that was an exaggeration, and I was wrong. Subsequent assessments of the 12-day war put overall infrastructure damage across Israel at around 8%, which is significant but not what I initially stated. However, that doesn`t mean the impact was negligible. Haifa port sustained major damage to its facilities, oil storage, and power generation plants during last June`s strikes—recovery from that takes time. Eilat port, while closed prior to the 12-day war due to Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, remained out of action throughout. Eilat Port`s owner declared bankruptcy. Both contributed to genuine disruption. You cite the 60% figure for seaborne imports, and you`re about correct—which is precisely why port disruptions matter. The ongoing dockworker boycotts of Israeli cargo in various ports, from Italy to Sweden, compound this vulnerability. Largely because of this, Israel`s national shipping line, ZIM, was last month sold to Hapag-Lloyd of Germany, incidentally a company associated with the former owners of the Pars. As for vanishing evidence, I acknowledge your scepticism. But in active conflict zones, footage gets moderated, removed, or simply buried. Absence of evidence months later isn`t proof evidence never existed. A week ago, I could have pointed to a very popular YouTube music video called "Boom, Boom, Tel Aviv" which provided four and a half minutes of footage showing missiles breaking through the so-called Iron Dome and causing massive destruction. It is nowhere to be found now. Mossad is busy rewriting history. So yes, I overstated the CBD damage. But the broader picture—significant infrastructure hits, port disruptions, and maritime vulnerabilities—wasn`t fabricated. Last June, I mistook scale, but not substance. In the current conflict, things are not going as planned for Trump and Netanyahu. Just as before, the Iranians have been underestimated. The mainstream media may not yet have got the message, but you can be pretty sure that those who so eagerly started this war are beginning to get very worried. I hope you watched the Dialogue Works video I posted a link to today. These are knowledgeable and experienced experts who know what they are talking about, not shills funded by the military industrial complex who queue up to appear on mainstream TV and radio. Now, finally, it didn`t escape my notice when reviewing the thread you pointed me to from last June that you too made a few, let`s be kind and just say, "exaggerated" comments. Indeed, you might want to revisit some of your comments earlier in this thread. Glass houses and all that… :) Reply |
| 64. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Sat 7th Mar 2026. 08:43 Well I did say earlier in this thread that this could be over sooner than first thought and it looks like I was wrong about that as all the signals suggest the Americans are planning to keep this up for over a month which a few days ago I wouldn`t have thought was necessary. Any mistakes I make though are just matters of my own personal musings and takes on situations. For example when I started this thread a week last Friday night I couldn`t be sure that the operation was about to begin but all the signs were pointing to it being very imminent. I could have been wrong though. However with you Oz, despite you now admitting that your sources last time were clearly lying to you, creating true fake news to suit their own agenda, here we are again with you repeating their lies. Anyways back to my musings. I note that overnight the Iranian president has said it will be no longer attacking it`s Gulf neighbours unless attacked first by them and apologises for previous strikes. I find that very intriguing as sowing economic chaos would seem to have been the only way to pressure the Americans and give the Iranians a card to play. Obviously something else is going on behind the scenes here. Perhaps China putting pressure on to keep the oil flowing from the Gulf as well as other critical cargo such as helium? Still this is an existential crisis for the regime in Tehran and their backers in Moscow and Beijing have been shown to be fair weather friends. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
| 65. Author: OzPar Date: Sat 7th Mar 2026. 11:15 So that is your obtuse way of saying you didn`t do me the courtesy of viewing the link to Dialogue Works I provided this morning? Reply |
| 66. Author: Bletchley_Par Date: Sat 7th Mar 2026. 11:43 The way you are coming across oz, I`d be surprised if anyone would click on an unsolicited link from you and that is not an attempt to insult you. Do you think perhaps you, like many of us have been in our lives the victim of propaganda? Were any of the videos you say get removed from twitter like these ones fake and AI generated?  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckg8wvz427vo  Reply |
| 67. Author: jake89 Date: Sat 7th Mar 2026. 12:01 Hang on a minute. Mossad are everywhere but three guys are happy to show their faces on a stream discussing what`s REALLY going on? 🤔 Reply |
| 68. Author: OzPar Date: Sat 7th Mar 2026. 12:29 I try to play things straight, answer as honestly as I can, and, at times, offer an alternative view to the mainstream. When I am wrong, I will more often than not say so. However, quite often I am right, because I am willing to hear views that may not be popular. with the majority of posters here. For instance, look at my first post on this thread (28 Feb, 05:13). My view was not the conventional view at that time, but how close is it to what has happened so far? Very close. Reply |

| 70. Author: hurricane_jimmy Date: Sat 7th Mar 2026. 15:24 There is a big contradiction there tbh: claiming that Mossad have their tentacles everywhere (which they most certainly do - remember the pager attack) yet gleefully claiming that Mossad and the US can`t topple the regime. It also seems that most of the folk protesting the US action are not actually connected to Iran. The Iranians I know from my time in Germany have certainly told me they will be glad to see the back of the regime. Curious to see if anything happens with Pahlavi, but reckon he is a bit tarnished by his family legacy after the US and Brits ousted Mossadegh. In any case, the Iranians generally are a lot less religiously brainwashed and can draw a secular line between politics and religion, unlike many of the Arabs. Personally, I think all three of the Abrahamic religions are a scurge and granting them any influence over politics is absolutely foolish but that`s just me. Anyone who underestimates the military technological superiority of the US though is an absolute fool. Militarily, Iran is an absolute minnow and the only thing propping up the regime are the IRGC and the religious Police, who seem to number about 800k targeting them is where the conflict is going now and the question is how long that will take. That said, there is an argument for asymmetric warfare and quantity having its own quality which has been learned in Ukraine and is being mooted as a potential issue in the Iran conflict. Losing both Iran and Venezuela is a big blow to Russia and China though and I would surmise that Trump has been advised of this. The former will potentially have quite a significant effect on the Ukrainian conflict at a point when the Russians are doing particularly badly. Interestingly a number of reports are saying that China could potentially have exerted pressure on Iran over the attacks on the Arab states due to the flow of oil being disrupted as their economy is particularly sluggish at the moment - curious if there is substance to that one!
