Agree, What will likely happen is there will be a Islamic Nato with Pakistan nuclear umbrella excluding Iran. Since by now everyone knows greater Israel project is not a fantasy but a reality.
US will be forced out of the region and if US retaliates by cutting of US weapons support. Chinese weapons will be bought in to replace all the blown miltary hardware. This will happen gradually.
They will need 5th Gen aircraft that China will start shipping from next year, with Pakistan being the launch customer to tackle Israel edge in having F35.
Iran was already rumored to be getting Chinese J10 aircrafts like Pakistan because the Russiana have refused to sell SU35 fighter due to Israel lobbying.
Since the US security Umbrella is shattered, the Gulf countries no longer have the obligation to trade oil in dollars.

Sounds like Telugu, a South Indian language, so many Indian Expats in the Gulf States. Why TF are they even there? The Indian government should have helped them evacuate.
Exactly.
You nailed the BIG one.
The US Dollar has been the worlds reserve currency since 1945 (Bretton Woods)
That allows us to get away with printing stupid amounts of money and selling US Treasuries to finance our debt.
Once some portion of the world has other options, and decides that buying our debt may not be as secure or friendly as other options, we have a BIG problem.
Switching from dollars to Yen, or Gold, allows the break away to happen quicker
The fuse for this train wreck was lit many years ago, Trump just took a blow torch to it.
The American public that is dialed into Faux News and the thought that our financial system can continue to work the way it has are in for rude awakening.

My God, he lives practically down the street from Cuba and doesn't appear to be able to find it on a map.
Its SQUARE in the middle of hurricane paths.
He's negotiating real estate for him and his buddies Casinos.

It worries me that we're in this lull where Trump needing to try and save some face, and Bibi (well..) still needing US military to run interference, are liable to pull a false flag to drum up support from the American people to continue this farce.

Intelligence in the Shadows: IDF Destroys Iranian Ministry Building Hidden in Utility Hub
Jfeed ^ | 03.16.2026 | Eliana Fleming
Israeli fighter jets have destroyed a major Iranian intelligence headquarters in central Tehran that was strategically hidden inside a state-owned electric company building.
In a significant blow to the Iranian regime's internal security and global terror apparatus, the Israeli Air Force has successfully targeted and destroyed a key intelligence headquarters in the heart of Tehran. Acting on precise information from military intelligence, Israeli jets struck a facility belonging to "The Ministry," the regime’s central intelligence body. In a move characteristic of the regime's tactics, the headquarters was located within a building belonging to the Iranian Electric Company, using a civilian utility as a human and logistical shield. This strike is part of a broader wave of attacks aimed at dismantling the core pillars that allow the regime to maintain its grip on power.

Glimpsing Victory in Iran
The Atlantic ^ | March 16, 2026 | Mark Dubowitz
Two weeks after the United States and Israel launched their combined military campaign against Iran’s clerical regime, the outlines of victory are beginning to emerge.
Military campaigns of this kind—especially those aimed not only at degrading military capability but also at creating conditions for political change—unfold in phases. The first phase of this conflict was bound to be the most important: stripping the Islamic Republic of its ability to wage war against America and its allies, threaten its neighbors, and intimidate global markets.
The early results are promising, though much remains unfinished.
A regime still reeling from last year’s 12-day war now faces a far more punishing assault. American and Israeli aircraft are operating over Iran with near-total freedom, striking military infrastructure, command nodes, and strategic assets across the country. Iran’s air-defense network has been badly degraded, and its navy reduced to a fraction of its former capacity.

Yes I have. A designated terrorist organization.
Are you going to use that excuse like they did in Gaza to commit another genocide?
Kill 'em all. 'Ol blood and guts tough guy?
You seem unable to hold two separate true concepts in your mind at the same time.

Why won’t US activists speak up for the tortured Iran women’s soccer team?
New York Post ^ | March 16, 2026 | Janatan Sayeh
An athlete’s silent act of dissent can turn both her and her family into targets of intimidation under the rule of Iran’s radical Islamist regime.
After refusing to sing the Islamic Republic’s anthem before a match in Australia, seven members of Iran’s women’s national soccer team sought asylum there, making a desperate choice no athlete should ever face. After the regime issued threats against the seven and jailed their families, five later withdrew their claims and left.
And yet from the global capital of women’s soccer, there has been no public solidarity.
