Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

Hints from the talks suggest this to be true. My own impression of the two sides eventually having face-to-face discussions is that they had actually reached some form of an agreement, but then additional demands were introduced, resulting in the breakdown. I am sure Islamabad has those agreed-upon points, and indications are that it is building the case for the second round of talks.

Right.
Araghchi saying 'inches' from an 'Islamabad MOU' is similar to some Pakistani journalists also saying: Substantial progress made. Pakistan's Defense Minister today is also saying another round possible.
Also, I think the two Israeli agents in the talks Mr. Kushner and Mr. Witkoff were in communication with Netanyahu during the talks and so no surprise the 'shifting goalposts', as Araghchi said, were introduced.
I am still hopeful for at least the ceasefire to hold, if not extended and some resolution to come within next few weeks.
 
Trump has lost his mind entirely

Very dangerous time for the world
Irans broken him, his not liking the fact most media outlets including independent are calling this a strategic US defeat.

That makes him much more dangerous as its all about him.
 
Trump is trying to frame the war on Iran. If Iran blocks all ships passing SOH for long, then world opinion esp in those badly affected countries might be even out against US and Iran. So, Iran has to weigh out carefully about the consequences. Trump is obviously wants to choke or even collapse Iran's economy by totally blocking Iran's oil export so it can't continue to fight.. I am also a little skeptical that China will send PLAN to escort.
Iran needs to understand the uniqueness of the strait and also need to be aware of the need to deal with a dual domain war. One is military warfare, and the other is diplomatic warfare. It is very important for Iran to blame the United States and Israel for cutting off the strait in the diplomatic field.
 

If you notice, post the Jesus blasphemous pic triggered the mental health attack.

I guess he received a lot of criticism online for that post.

Some journalist could ask why he only blasphem about Christianity.

Then I have no doubts he would blasphem all world religions, except Judaism, make him the most loved man in the planet 😂.
 
This conflict has escalted in the domains which I doubt anyone would have predicted before the start of hostilities.



Vatican needs it own gandalf here. The king is under Zionist spell. lol

 
Lets simply see if China will tolerate any u.s. navy ship blocking its supplies...... it's the only realistic metric, the rest is speculation.

No.

Firstly, the Chinese Navy does not have the capability to confront the US Navy in the Persian Gulf.

Secondly, China's oil security policy is excellent, and simply interrupting oil in the Persian Gulf is unlikely to affect China's economy.



China is likely to assist Iran through military aid.

Trump has threatened China that if China provides military aid to Iran, he will increase tariffs by 50% on China.

Today, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded that restarting the tariff war is not a good choice for the United States.

In the context of Chinese language, this answer is equivalent to acknowledging that Iran will receive military assistance and accepting the resumption of the tariff war.
 
Wondering couldn't Pakistani ships enter Iranian territorial waters via their own territorial waters? USN wouldn't be able to come in that case due to fear of ASMs.

If they could then in theory Chinese vessels could hug Pakistani territorial waters to enter Iranian.

or even better chinese ships or even any ship in the world can come to Gawadar, and get iranian oil via their pipeline which terminates at pakistani border only 60 kms from iranian border. Transport oil from there to gawadar and get them into oil tankers
 
Israelis not liking the war they ordered. Well, they keep electing the warmonger Netanyahu for three decades so here they are.


Even now, as President Trump alternately taunts, threatens and tries to negotiate with the leadership in Tehran, Israel is left on the sidelines. It is forced to accept whatever Washington decides — as when it received a scolding for a furious wave of airstrikes on Beirut on Wednesday that Iran protested was a violation of the day-old cease-fire.

Barely a third of Israelis believe that when Israel and the United States disagree, Israel can act on its own judgment, according to a an opinion poll released Sunday by the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv.

A separate poll also released Sunday by Agam Institute and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem found that three times as many Israelis see the war as a failure than a victory. Some 70 percent believe the cease-fire reflects an American concession to Iran, and two-thirds oppose it.

Many Israelis have become pessimistic, fatigued, disillusioned and distrustful of the information that they are receiving, the Agam-Hebrew University survey found.

It all adds up to a sense that this victory isn’t much of a victory at all, said Yaakov Katz, an Israeli analyst and co-founder of the Middle East-America Dialogue.

“What’s the Israeli story today?” he said. “It’s a narrative of a country that’s constantly fighting, and presents no alternatives except for more war.”
