I think IRGC will take over and test a Nuke after something happens to Khamenei, forcing the US and Israel to sign a Peace/Non-Aggression Treaty with Iran on Iranian terms.

Why on earth do you fantasize that IRGC have a nuke in its closet ?

If they really had, then why they don't have a deterrence? Why Israel attacked in june last year killed so many high command of Iranian miiltary, scientists and started attacking everywhere? Who on earth would be stupid enough to keep hiding nukes and not establish deterrence. FFS, wake up to reality for once and for all. Iran DO NOT have nuclear weapon capability especially after the bombing by the americans. Latest buildup by americans is only to target ballistic missile program. Iran is all ready to apply all sort of restrictions on nuclear weapon program as they say we don't even intend to do so.

We must have honesty and strength to keep aside our wishes and accept the hard realities on ground. Everything can't be as we desire.

Drove two hours yesterday to be in Toronto demonstrations...A sea of Iranian patriots waving flags of Iran (Iran's real flag not the islamic republic flag)..

Very organized and orderly ..some people crying from joy and emotions were very high..Many Canadians supporting our call..Amazing experience..There are estimated 500,000 Iranians in Canada..Many in Toronto,Vancouver and Montreal...when I came to Canada in mid 70's as a student there were only no more than 1000 Iranians in all of Canada...similar crowds were in Munich Germany and Los Angeles..No doubt Iran will be free again soon. You can feel the buzz.. Reza Pahlavi demonstrated his organizational skills ..well done for him. He is now truly the face of opposition to the mullah regime.

, Iran is left with only two options: either it becomes North Korea or the Gaza Strip

I think there are three main options

1) soft regime change --> pro-US internal IRI replacements take over (Trump's preferred scenario)

2) regime change -->

a) Reza Pahlavi somehow takes over and returns to Iran (seems very unlikely)
b) IRGC takes over (military state)
c) total chaos and civil war (modern Iran is destroyed and becomes Syria)

3) IRI capitulates and reaches surrender deal with US

The way I see it:

1) All out war leading to:
a)IRGC victory consolidation of power, American objectices not met with military failure.
b) American victory with a US viceroy in charge

2)
a) Internal shift of power with a different group given the chance to lead, this would have to be a neutralish group.
b)civil war

For me options 1a and 2a are more probable.

The US could militarily destroy allot of Iran but just like in Afghanistan, ,Yemen to some degree Iraq it failed geo-strategically and politically. Trumpy dont have the stomach for a long war either and a shock and awe wont work now given power has been devolved and autonomous command structures locally will be in place.

Iran continues with strength.

Honestly I have always said this Arabs don’t really need to fight Israel they will destroy themselves from within in a couple of decades

 

[tsunset]

Unfortunately the Pahlavists really believe in what they say

They think that if IRI falls, they will peacefully return to Iran to live an easy life and everyone will be happy

 

[Mehdipersian]

This Western circus show has really become funny. If you can attack, we are waiting.

member of Iran's negotiating team signals openness to US investment in Iran

I wish i could take credit for this one, but it was Trita Parsi that said it a couple of weeks back.

 

[kastor ville]

The negotiations will fail.....and Trump like most bullies is a p-ussy under that suit...he'll have to strike Iran some how to save face...Hopefully it won't be a full on war.
Again, the negotiations are not going to succeed. I mean look at the 2 guys doing the negotiating for the US.
What happens next is up to the White House. I hope he gets some good advice...because he could be sending the world economy into a recession.

 

[Meengla]

the problem is Trump wants this 3-5 year suspension of enrichment just to call off his war, and he isn't offering anything else, which is not really a negotiation

I really don't think Trump wants to attack Iran and to him not attacking is his 'offer'. The real matter is the Iranian missiles which Netanyahu wants gone.

Why on earth do you fantasize that IRGC have a nuke in its closet ?
If they really had, then why they don't have a deterrence? Why Israel attacked in june last year killed so many high command of Iranian miiltary, scientists and started attacking everywhere? Who on earth would be stupid enough to keep hiding nukes and not establish deterrence.

Right.
I can't believe people here still believe in the fantasies of Iranian nukes even with North Korea's help. No, ain't happening. Too late. Pakistan developed a powerful nuclear deterrence with at least some tacit appoval from the Washington and Pakistan's program started in January 1972! Iran never had the threat perception like Pakistan had/has from its neighbors.

I wish i could take credit for this one, but it was Trita Parsi that said it a couple of weeks back.

Trita Parsi is my number one resource for Iran-America relationship just like Max Blumenthal is for America-Israel relationship. Reuters is also reporting this and IF true then good news:

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iran-open-nuclear-deal-compromises-if-us-discusses-lifting-sanctions-minister-2026-02-15/

Feb 15 (Reuters) - Iran is pursuing a nuclear agreement with the U.S. that delivers economic benefits for both sides, an Iranian diplomat was reported as saying on Sunday, days before a second round of talks between Tehran and Washington.
Iran and the U.S. renewed negotiations earlier this month to tackle their decades-long dispute over Tehran's nuclear programme and avert a new military confrontation. The U.S. has dispatched a second aircraft carrier to the region and is preparing for the possibility of a sustained military campaign if the talks do not succeed, U.S. officials have told Reuters.

"For the sake of an agreement's durability, it is essential that the U.S. also benefits in areas with high and quick economic returns," foreign ministry deputy director for economic diplomacy Hamid Ghanbari said, according to the semi-official Fars news agency.
Iran has threatened retaliation against any U.S. attack but the official struck a conciliatory note on Sunday.
"Common interests in the oil and gas fields, joint fields, mining investments, and even aircraft purchases are included in the negotiations," Ghanbari said, arguing that the 2015 nuclear pact with world powers had not secured U.S. economic interests.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, speaking at a news conference in Bratislava, said President Donald Trump had made it clear that he would prefer diplomacy and a negotiated settlement.
"No one's ever been able to do a successful deal with Iran but we're going to try," Rubio said.

The US invaded Iraq in 1991, and the government was only overthrown in 2003. That's three American governments and trillions of dollars spent on war. And the most interesting thing is: the Iraq of the 1990s was only 5% of the military power Iran has today. I've said it before and I'll say it again: an open war against Iran is UNFEASIBLE in every sense. Twenty years ago, when Iran didn't have drones, hypersonic missiles, or missiles capable of reaching US and Israeli bases, the US already considered it unfeasible. Today it's even worse. The objective of globalist Zionism, therefore, is to overthrow the government through some kind of weakening/color revolution, but even this has proven complicated because Iran stopped a color revolution in less than 10 days!
