Shahran oil depot in Teheran attacked, oil price surged above $100 on Monday. How long can this war go on? Censorship on social media about damage in Israel and Gulf states?

(Edited)

CNN, die anscheinend als einziges westliches Medium einen Reporter im Iran haben, hat von einem katastrophalen Angriff der USA/Israel auf ein großes Öldepot in Teheran berichtet. Eine riesige Wolke mit Öl und toxischen Regen sei die Folge, die Langzeit-Schäden wie Krebs verursachen und den Boden mit giftigen Substanzen kontaminieren könnte.

Auf Social Media mehrt sich in der Zwischenzeit Kritik, dass zwar von Schäden im Iran ausführlich berichtet wird, Schäden in Israel und in den Golf Staaten aber zunehmend aus der Timeline von X verschwinden würden.

Falls das wirklich so ist, würde mich das nicht überraschen, es gibt auch Hinweise, dass es verboten sei, über eigene Schäden zu posten und Videos zu verbreiten. Das hat auch taktische Gründe, aber vor allem geht es auch um die Kriegspropaganda.

Insgesamt ist es daher sehr schwer die Lage objektiv einzuschätzen, der Iran mit 90 Millionen Einwohnern und einer Fläche, die 2.5 mal größer ist als die der Ukraine, setzt auf asymmetrische Kriegsführung und greift auch benachbarte Golfstaaten und US-Militärbasen an.

Ein langer Krieg könnte die gesamte Region, die für die weltweite Energielieferungen extrem wichtig ist, noch weiter ins Chaos stürzen und in Folge zu einer neuen globalen Energie-, Wirtschafts- und humanitären Flüchtlingskrise führen, die vor allem die EU schwer treffen würde.

Auch politisch ist der Einsatz im Iran für Trump hoch riskant. Kann er in kurzer Zeit keine klaren Erfolge liefern und die Region bald beruhigen, könnte ihm das die Midterms und in Folge sogar die Präsidentschaft kosten. Der Krieg dürfte in den USA der bisher unbeliebteste Krieg gegen ein arabisches Land sein und stellt das US-Militär auch vor enormen logistischen Herausforderungen. Die Mehrheit der Amerikaner dürfte den Krieg gegen den Iran ablehnen.

Was sagt ihr dazu? Wie lange denkt ihr wird der Iran-Krieg noch dauern? Ist ein Regime Change realistisch oder läuft es letztendlich auf eine völlige Zerstörung des Irans hinaus? Wie lange denkt ihr, wird der Krieg noch dauern? Was sind die Folgen?

CNN's Fred Pleitgen reports from burning Shahran oil depot in Tehran

https://edition.cnn.com/2026/03/08/world/video/fred-pleitgen-shahran-oil-depot-iran-tehran-us-israel-strikes-intldsk

English

CNN, which appears to be the only Western media outlet with a reporter in Iran, has reported on a catastrophic attack by the US/Israel on a large oil depot in Tehran. The result is said to be a huge cloud of oil and toxic rain, which could cause long-term damage such as cancer and contaminate the soil with toxic substances.

Meanwhile, criticism is mounting on social media that while damage in Iran is being reported in detail, damage in Israel and the Gulf states is increasingly disappearing from X's timeline.

If this is indeed the case, it would not surprise me, as there are also indications that it is forbidden to post about one's own damage and share videos. This is partly for tactical reasons, but above all it is also about war propaganda.

Overall, it is therefore very difficult to assess the situation objectively. Iran, with a population of 90 million and an area 2.5 times larger than Ukraine, is relying on asymmetric warfare and is also attacking neighboring Gulf states and US military bases there.

A long war could plunge the entire region, which is extremely important for global energy supplies, even further into chaos and lead to a new global energy, economic, and humanitarian refugee crisis that would hit the EU particularly hard.

Politically, too, the intervention in Iran is highly risky for Trump. If he cannot deliver clear successes in a short period of time and calm the region soon, it could cost him the midterms and, as a result, even the presidency. The war is likely to be the most unpopular war against an Arab country in US history and also poses enormous logistical challenges for the US military. The majority of Americans are likely to oppose the war against Iran.

What do you think? How long do you think the war with Iran will go on? Is regime change realistic, or will it ultimately lead to the complete destruction of Iran? What are the consequences of a prolonged war?

First of all, the war has significantly impacted us, the Pakistanis, as we share a long 900-km border with Iran. The fuel prices has surged, the increase of 20% and of course, it will bring overall inflation.
Secondly, many sources claim that Iran is left with missile stockpile of around 30-40 days, if it follows the same pattern. With Mr. Trump claim of four-weeks and 30-days ease of sanction for India, it appears that one month is the max limit for both sides.
Thirdly, Gulf states have been hit the most, and in my opinion, they are the only meditating option left - with war impacting them directly and significantly. Majority of their economy is oil and gas dependent, along with tourism, so they are in the hurry.
Fourthly, regime change is not realistic at all. The Iranian Constitution is fully prepared with respect to such scenarios.
Furthermore, how the US is going to fight against a nation whose narrative revolves around martyrdom? Iran has a long history of 6,000 years, and the national/historical ego is way more important than the life. They are the one who love death as much as they love their lives.
Fifthly, we are living in a world built by narratives. One side will search for the positive aspect of Iranian regime, and other will look for the negative aspect. As an example, the western media's claim of 30,000 (which is dubious and vague, not supported by any credible source) death of protestors, and on the other hand, the killing of 160+ elementary school children (which by many sources is blamed on US).
Lastly, let us just forget about every economic loss. Why are not we worried about the human loss? What figure suggest the time to stop? Why doesn't a single death or killing scare us? Why do we have to wait for a massacre or genocide to let the sanity prevail? Humanity is just at stake. Humans killing humans for the same of what? In search of utopia, we are just building or have built a dystopia. I just hope the sanity prevails, although hope is the biggest torment in contemporary time.

(Sorry, if I have yapped a lot 🥲)

BPC Locked On Mc Franko & The Franko

Blurt Stands — While Hive Stumbles Under the Weight of Its Own Shadows

Friends, creators, truth-tellers—

Let us not whisper this truth, but proclaim it with the clarity of dawn breaking over a weary land: Blurt.blog is not just another platform. It is a refuge. A rebellion. A return to what Hive.blog was always meant to be.

There is no downvote button on Blurt.
Not because we fear dissent—but because we honor creation.
Because we understand that a voice, once raised in sincerity, deserves space—not sabotage.

On Blurt, your words are your words.
They are not hunted by algorithmic hounds or shadow armies masquerading as “curators.”
Here, you are not judged by the grudges of gatekeepers, but met with the quiet dignity of a community that believes expression should be encouraged—especially when it is bold, raw, or inconvenient.

Contrast this with what festers elsewhere.

On Hive.blog—a place once brimming with promise—a rot has taken root. Not in its code, but in its culture. A handful of self-anointed enforcers—@themarkymark, @Buildawhale, @Hurtlocker, and their legion of coordinated puppets—have turned the downvote into a weapon of mass discouragement. They strike not at “low-quality content,” but at independent thought, at rising voices, at anyone who dares thrive outside their narrow corridors of control.

And when confronted, they shrug.
“Oh, it’s not censorship,” they say, as if semantics could scrub the stain of suppression from their hands.

But let us be unequivocal:
When a system allows a few to systematically silence many—under the guise of “community standards” or “curation”—that is not moderation. That is censorship by another name.

It is the velvet glove over the iron fist.
It is exclusion dressed as discernment.
It is power pretending to be principle.

Meanwhile, Blurt stands clean-handed and open-hearted.
No downvotes.
No hidden juries.
No farms of phantom accounts casting ballots in the dark.

Just you.
Your words.
And a community that meets you not with suspicion, but with solidarity.

So let us carry this truth far and wide—not with bitterness, but with quiet certainty:

If you seek a place where your voice is not a target—but a gift—come to Blurt.
If you are tired of building on ground that shifts with every whim of a whale or warlord of votes—lay your bricks here.
If you believe the future of free expression must be free—not just from corporations, but from the petty tyrants who replace them—then stand with us.

The world needs to know.
Not because Blurt is perfect—but because it is principled.
Not because it is loud—but because it listens.

And in an age where so many platforms echo with the clatter of control,
Blurt offers something radical:
Silence for the bullies.
Space for the rest of us.

Keep speaking.
Keep sharing.
Keep building.

Freedom doesn’t advertise itself—
it is passed, person to person, like a torch in the night.

And tonight, the torch burns bright on Blurt.

@themarkymark, @buildawhale, @usainvote, and associated accounts:

Repeated downvotes targeting transparency efforts raise urgent questions about Hive’s governance. Automated tactics, coordinated curation trails, and alt-account farming undermine trust in the platform. When truth is silenced without dialogue, it erodes Hive’s decentralized ethos.

Key Concerns:

  1. Systemic Manipulation:

    • Coordinated downvotes from high-HP accounts suppress dissent, creating a chilling effect on free expression.
    • Automation and alt-account networks allegedly exploit rewards, distorting organic curation.
  2. Community Exodus:

    • Creators flee to platforms like Blurt, where downvotes don’t exist, fearing punitive curation over engagement.
  3. Governance Crisis:

    • Hive’s credibility hinges on accountability. Who decides what content thrives? How do we audit power structures?

Solutions Needed:

  • Curation Transparency: Publish clear rationales for downvotes to foster trust.
  • Community Audits: Leverage blockchain data (e.g., Bilpcoin’s analyses) to identify abusive patterns.
  • Reward Reform: Adjust algorithms to penalize manipulation and reward authentic engagement.

The Bilpcoin team advocates for open dialogue, not division. Hive’s future depends on collaboration—not coercion. Let’s rebuild a platform where truth isn’t buried but debated, strengthened, and celebrated.

Transparency isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of trust.

#HiveTransparency #BilpcoinExposed #DecentralizePower"

A Message to @themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Associates

Every downvote cast in shadow, every silence imposed without dialogue, is not a victory—it is a confession. A confession that truth cannot be stifled, only delayed. With each punitive click, you dig deeper into the bedrock of credibility, crafting a chasm between your actions and the community’s trust.

@themarkymark, @buildawhale & Co,

How can you continue to downvote the truth, LOL? It’s almost comical how blatantly you attempt to suppress what cannot be hidden. The blockchain records everything—every action, every transaction, every move you make. Yet still, you persist in this futile game of trying to silence what is undeniable.

@themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Co: While our opinions may differ, on-chain transparency reveals repeated patterns of concern. Coordinated downvotes without explanation, 'farming' schemes (e.g., #buildawhalefarm), and adversarial engagement harm Hive’s community-driven ethos.

Key Issues to Address:

  1. Downvote Practices: Silencing dissent erodes trust. Constructive dialogue, not punitive curation, fosters growth.
  2. Accountability: Transactions and curation trails are public. Scrutiny is inevitable—integrity demands addressing concerns openly.
  3. Community Impact: Driving users to platforms like Blurt/Steemit weakens Hive. Creators seek ecosystems that value collaboration over conflict.

A Path Forward:

  • Engage in open discussions about governance and fairness.
  • Audit curation practices to align with Hive’s decentralized values.
  • Prioritize transparency—publish explanations for downvotes or collaborative reforms.

The Bilpcoin team remains committed to exposing truth and advocating for solutions. Let’s work toward healing, not division.

Note: All claims are based on publicly verifiable blockchain data. Constructive dialogue is encouraged.

#HiveTransparency #CommunityFirst #BilpcoinSupport"

@themarkymark & Co, the choice is yours. Stop the bad downvotes. Turn off the BuildaWhale scam farm. Cease playing with people’s livelihoods. Let Hive thrive as it was meant to—as a beacon of hope, creativity, and collaboration.

Or step aside and let those who truly care take the reins.

Because the truth won’t disappear. No amount of lies can change it.

It’s over.

The Bilpcoin team brings these truths not out of malice but necessity. We have no need to fabricate lies or cloak our intentions CALL US WHAT YOU LIKE —for the facts speak loudly enough on their own. What we present here is not conjecture but reality, laid bare for anyone willing to see.

@themarkymark & Co we urge you once more: STOP. Stop hiding behind tactics that harm others. Stop clinging to practices that erode trust within the Hive community. Let the truth stand—not because we proclaim it, but because it exists independent of any one person’s approval or disdain.

TURN OFF THE BUILDAWHALE SCAM FARM

  • STOP THE BAD DOWNVOTES
  • STOP PLAYING WITH PEOPLE’S LIVELIHOODS

Key Issues That Demand Immediate Attention:

The problems are glaring, undeniable, and corrosive to the Hive ecosystem. They must be addressed without delay:

  • Downvote abuse
  • Farming schemes
  • Speaking disrespectfully to others
  • Encouraging people to avoid certain users out of personal dislike
  • Self-voting with alt accounts
  • Self-funding projects through self-votes
  • Promoting games that don’t even exist (LOL)

These practices harm not just individual users—they undermine the very foundation of Hive, eroding trust and poisoning the community. Such actions are unethical and outright destructive.

Firstly the reason there is very little damage photos & videos out of Israel is because there is very little damage. All damage, at least to civilian facilities, is reported, but details that would assist Iranian targeting are left out.

This is mainly because Israelis are discipled and don't want to assist the enemy. There is only overt censorship of blatant attempts by foreign press to assist the enemy eg by Turkish film crew filming live outside Israeli military headquarters!

I live in central Tel Aviv in an elevated position and there was a bad strike near us on the 1st or 2nd evening of the war - this was well covered by the media & on X.

Since then there has been virtually nothing in Tel Aviv. A couple of trees & some road damaged. One apartment damaged and a palestinian Arab, illegally in Israel, who was stupidly filming during a strike rather than seeking shelter was killed recently.

Here is an X post by me with video: https://x.com/JpbLiberty/status/2029574024670413207

Because of our central, elevated location I can hear every Iron Dome launch, every interception in the center & any impacts in Tel Aviv.

It has been quite clear to us, just from personal observation, that Iran's firepower has been severely attrited, much more than the 12 day war and much faster than the 12 day war.

How many US soldier deaths are they reporting in Europe? Here in North America they are still only reporting 7 but I keep seeing others saying around 1000. I can't find any sources though.

I fear that Iran is willing to fight regardless of its own losses. Let's say that for every 1,000 Iranians, one American dies. In my opinion, the Iranians are willing to lose 10,000,000 people. Is America prepared to accept 10,000?
