[Developereo]

Predictable and empty words.

Words won't stop American and Israeli bombs. What Iran needs is real support in terms of hardware and data in the face of such enemies.

That's just your understanding.
1. Formal diplomatic language is very strict.
2, What does Iran need? It is up to the Iranian rulers to decide.

I believe this is more substantial than just diplomatic necessities. There's a common understanding here and agreement that Russia and China will both support Iran's civilian nuclear program should the West be foolish enough to go for the snapback mechanism. This what I see being said, it's a proper broadside, a warning, to the West, especially the EU3 vassalstates.

 

[ety]

Never know what the crazy man will do. Take anger out on Iran or all three countries in reaction to this meeting and the three countries naval exercise in Indian ocean ?

The question is what will they do if the US and Israel attack Iran's nuclear sites?

They are definitely not going to jump in, and neither the US nor Israel gives a damn about the UN. So what will Russia and China do that will actually matter?

If they had said we are supplying XYZ military hardware to Iran immediately, then that's something. But words?

 

[大汉奸柳传志]

Iran should go for it. if there are still technical hurdles, seek help from Pakistan or north Korea, neither China or Russia can openly offer help

Come on, you know better than this

Why should another nation, underwrite another nations nukes, in principle

They are not treaty bound

remember also that russia and Iran ties not historically easy

here we see the signalling of closer alignment

 

[ety]

Maybe Iran should go for the bombs to be able to defend itself.

When Israel attacks Iran, the question is not what China and Russia will do, but what Iran itself will do. If Iran, as it has done in the past, merely raises the black flag verbally and carries out some token retaliation against Israel in a performative manner, what else can China and Russia do in such a situation?

It is impossible for Iran to be eager to surrender to Europe and the United States as soon as it enters a peaceful period, and then hope that China and Russia will take the lead in front when it encounters difficult times. One should be clear in mind that it is not China and Russia that need Iran, but Iran that needs China and Russia.

Iran has shown it's more than capable of taking care of itself should the US be mad enough to actually go through such folly. I do not believe they would even contemplate an attack Iran's nuclear facilities. Consequences!
I would argue that the time is still not ready to openly support Iran military but that will surely change should Iran come under attack by the US. Until then Iran receives covert assistance where necessary.

When the US accusing you of developing nuclear weapons, you better really have them. How many years since the US exit the nuclear deal and how many years since Iran was under sanction? It still hasn't developed the bomb. Can't blame anyone else when it is incapable of delivering.

Iran will be getting some batches of Su-35s. Probably more stuff on the way.

That being said, I do not think they would be interested in any military alliances. Iran is currently a member of BRICS though.

Look at it this way: Gone are the days when world affairs are solely centered in Washington. We are increasingly moving away from a unipolar world. And I think this is a good thing. Still a long road to go.

 

[Ali_Baba]

How can Pakistan help if China cannot or will not help ?! Makes no sense. China is stronger, and should be able to help more than any other country.

You truly believe that a state that has mastered the full nuclear fuel cycle has problems developing a fission weapon? You do know that it's all about the fuel cycle yeah? Henceforth why the fuel cycle has always been monopolised by the major powers.
If Iran wanted nuclear weapons then there wouldn't anything, anyone can do about it if Iran was willing to pay the price for such acquisition. For a hundred years now all we've heard is that Iran was on the cusp of getting the bomb and still there's no bomb to found. That's one hell of a breakout time I'd say.
