We stand TOGETHER in this FIGHT. WWG1WGA!!! -Q

👉 the text on the sign in the cover image is Persian ("باغ شهر ناهارجان") and translates to: "Naharjan Garden City" - a village located in South Khorasan province, Iran.

ASK YOURSELF - how did Q know 7 years ago that the US would be "RESTARTING" the Iran campaign now?

REMEMBER what was happening between Trump/POTUS and Iran in 2019 - 1/2020:

2019 marked a significant escalation in tensions between the United States and Iran, building on the US withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA, or Iran nuclear deal) in 2018. The year saw increased sanctions, military posturing, attacks on shipping and infrastructure, and Iran's gradual breaches of the nuclear accord. Below is a chronological overview of the major developments:

• April 8: The US designated Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a foreign terrorist organization, the first time a part of a foreign government received this label. This imposed wide-ranging sanctions on the IRGC. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/9/25/us-iran-standoff-a-timeline-of-key-events

• April 22: The US ended waivers that allowed certain countries to buy Iranian oil without facing sanctions, aiming to cut Iran's oil exports to zero and intensify economic pressure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93United_States_relations

• May 5: In response to intelligence about potential Iranian threats, the US deployed an aircraft carrier strike group and bombers to the Middle East as a deterrent. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/9/25/us-iran-standoff-a-timeline-of-key-events

• May 8: On the one-year anniversary of the US JCPOA withdrawal, Iran announced it would partially suspend compliance with the deal, including plans to increase enriched uranium and heavy water production. https://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/timeline-nuclear-diplomacy-iran-1967-2023

• May-June: A series of attacks targeted six oil tankers in or near the Strait of Hormuz. The US blamed Iran for the incidents, which heightened regional tensions and raised concerns over global oil supply routes. https://www.cfr.org/global-conflict-tracker/conflict/confrontation-between-united-states-and-iran

• June 20: Iran shot down a US RQ-4 Global Hawk surveillance drone over the Strait of Hormuz, claiming it violated Iranian airspace (the US said it was in international waters). President Trump called off retaliatory airstrikes at the last minute but approved cyberattacks on Iranian missile systems and imposed new sanctions. https://www.cfr.org/global-conflict-tracker/conflict/confrontation-between-united-states-and-iran

• July 1: Iran exceeded the JCPOA's 300-kilogram limit on low-enriched uranium stockpiles, as verified by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). https://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/timeline-nuclear-diplomacy-iran-1967-2023

• July 8: Iran began enriching uranium beyond the JCPOA's 3.67% limit, reaching about 4.5%, further eroding the nuclear deal. https://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/timeline-nuclear-diplomacy-iran-1967-2023

• July 19: Iranian forces seized a British-flagged oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, escalating a tanker "tit-for-tat" after the UK detained an Iranian vessel near Gibraltar earlier that month. https://www.cfr.org/timelines/us-relations-iran

• September 14: Drone and missile attacks struck Saudi Arabia's Abqaiq and Khurais oil facilities, halting half of the kingdom's oil production temporarily. The US and Saudi Arabia attributed the strikes to Iran, though Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed responsibility. The US deployed additional troops to Saudi Arabia in response. https://www.cfr.org/timelines/us-relations-iran

• December 27: A rocket attack on the K-1 Air Base in Iraq killed a US contractor and injured troops. The US blamed Iran-backed militias and responded with airstrikes on militia sites in Iraq and Syria. https://www.militarytimes.com/flashpoints/2019/12/28/several-american-troops-wounded-and-a-us-contractor-killed-in-rocket-attack-on-kirkuk-base/

• December 31: Pro-Iranian protesters, backed by militias, stormed the US Embassy in Baghdad, leading to a two-day siege. President Trump blamed Iran and threatened retaliation. https://www.cfr.org/timelines/us-relations-iran

• January 3, 2020: A US drone strike at Baghdad International Airport killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, commander of the IRGC's Quds Force, along with Iraqi militia leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. The US cited imminent threats to American lives as justification, while Iran vowed severe retaliation. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/02/world/middleeast/qassem-soleimani-iraq-iran-attack.html

• January 8-11, 2020: Amid heightened alert from the US-Iran crisis, Iranian forces mistakenly shot down Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 shortly after takeoff from Tehran, killing all 176 on board. Iran initially denied responsibility but admitted to the error on January 11, sparking widespread protests in Iran against the government. https://www.businessinsider.com/iran-ukraine-flight-752-crash-initial-report-fire-return-airport-2020-1

These events reflected the Trump administration's "maximum pressure" campaign through sanctions and military presence, while Iran responded with asymmetric actions and nuclear non-compliance. The January 2020 escalations brought the two nations to the brink of war but ultimately saw both sides pull back, though underlying frictions persisted.
