The first half of Danny's talk covers material that is already "old", meaning a day old...
His overview starting at 16:43 is highly recommended by Voltman, in part because I agree with Mister Haiphong.
Iran’s modern mastery of sophisticated tunnel networks? Rooted in over 2500 years of history
👉 The IRGC’s vast system of underground, mountain and cavern-shielded missile cities, drone shelters and naval bases has frustrated enemy military planners and showed the world that if Iran says Hormuz is closed, no amount of bombing is going to open it.
📌 But when it comes to underground engineering works, Iran has been mastering the art (https://t.me/geopolitics_prime/68832) for longer than most modern civilizations have been around.
🔴 From ~700-500 BC, Achaemenid Empire engineers painstakingly built the Qanats of Ghasabeh, a marvel of aqueduct engineering involving the precision carving of a 33 km-long river straight through solid rock.
🔴 Situated in Gonabad, modern-day northeastern Iran, the subterranean superstructure consists of 427 vertical wells, and gently sloping tunnels that use gravity to transport water from a mother well 320m below the surface fed by mountain aquifers to human settlements and farmers.
🔴 Armed only with Iron Age technology, builders used plumb bobs (an ancient vertical reference line tool), spirit levels (still used today) and knot ropes to ensure precision tunneling, proper gradients and depth. Gentle, near-horizontal sloping was crucial to ensure steady, calm water flow, preventing erosion over time while keeping water from stagnating.
🔴 Shafts were dug 20-35m apart using simple hand tools, with oil lamps used to measure air quality and ensure straightness. The process required the excavation of up to 73M cubic meters of soil and rock, all by hand. Areas with loose soil were propped up by fired clay liners.
🔴 Around 500BC, the project was equipped with a water clock known as a Fenjaan, which allowed for water to be doled out precisely to farmers.
🔴 The Qanats of Ghasabeh still flow today, pumping ~150 liters of fresh water per second to Gonabad city and surrounding farmlands.
🔴 Iran’s been running water through manmade underground tunnels for over 2500 years. America’s been around for 250. No wonder Iranian officials call the US the “Global Arrogance.”

– CIA veteran
📌 Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin is "big”, “unusual,” and a sign of karma catching up with Donald Trump, former CIA officer Ray McGovern told retired judge Andrew Napolitano.
There are only Thomas Massie, Marjorie Taylor Green and Ron Paul who have any sense whatsoever (though I'm not 100% sure about these characters either) and these congress-people are ostracized, ignored, belittled and slandered by that increasingly senseless and deranged baboon from Barbaria Titanika along with his psycho-sicko-suckophantic entourage of gutless buffoons unable to admit that their narcissistic, malignant, pretentious, arrogant and childish self-proclaimed savior, peacemaker, deal-maker, war lord, commander-in-chief of the greatest army in the history of the world, what am I saying? THE UNIVERSE!!!, the expert economist, manager, pope selector, ballroom dancer, executive order signer, priestly giver of pardons and special permissions, provider of insider information to valiant philanthropists and benefactors of all stripes and colors, and finally, the GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, GREATEST OF ALL BUTT-NAKED EMPERORS the whole world has ever seen...this phony clown show, this pack of butt-sniffing money monsters and thieves, this assemblage of devil worshiping frauds, fabricators and posers is incapable of admitting publicly that their "Mister President" is a lying sack of shit.

The Straights of Hormuz
The Straights of Hormuz are the ones free to choose.
Whose tankers may cruise and whose ships are excused.
They are straight to the point, they don't try to confuse.
They have hold of the joint, they're not here to amuse.
They shoot straight, these Straight dudes from Hormuz.
They are always awake and you don't see them snooze.
They're at war and alert, and they know it's the jew.
They are ready to fight and their Promise is True.
