Mirandi shares two videos. One clearly shows a missile strike in broad daylight with 100% accuracy — that’s the footage I was referring to. The video also highlights the repeated falsehoods about a so-called 99% interception rate. I'm not sure why he included the footage from Ukraine.
Nobody clamed a 99% interception rate. That's a strawman fallacy.
If you are talking about me, I have said multiple times that based on Israeli data, the interception rate was about 44%. They try to hide the real interception rate by claiming that they didn't try to stop the missiles that weren't headed for civilian areas, but that's a lie.
There's no question that the U.S. inflicted damage — that’s not in dispute. The real question is: what did it achieve? Meanwhile, Israel is concealing the extent of the damage it sustained. All available evidence points to Iran's strikes causing a significant impact.
What it has achieved is yet to be determined, but the evidence suggests that they set back Iran's nuclear program by years. As far as the civilian nuclear program on the ground is concerned, it has been obliterated.
The only remaining question is the +400kg of HEU remaining in Iran. And the regime is already in talks with Europe over that, due to be held in Istanbul tomorrow.
Here are the facts:
1) Now there is ambiguity regarding the nuclear program. Even the foreign minister is unaware.
2) The knowledge is there, and it can not be bombed.
3) The US/Israel do not know where the 60% uranium is, and if any of it was destroyed.
4) The sites that were bombed were research centers for the most part. In addition, they contained old-generation centrifuges. When you deal with a narcissist who commands the world's most powerful military, you tell him what he wants to hear. Yes, great president, everything was destroyed with your super duper strikes.
5) Iran proved it has a deterrence capability. Iran can strike back.
6) Iran has the industrial base to build as many centrifuges as it needs.
1) Not anymore. The IAEA experts are returning to Iran and the regime is in talks with the Europeans now. First session to be held tomorrow at the Iranian consulate in Istanbul.
2) The knowledge is useless without proper equipment and infrastructure.
3) They will find out soon, it seems. The regime is eager to continue "diplomacy", i.e. surrender.
4) No, that's a blatant lie. Our civilian nuclear infrastructure has been obliterated. If Iran does not have covert facilities, it's over for Iran's nuclear program.
5) No, Iran proved that it cannot establish deterrence times and times again. Ain Al-Assad, TP1, TP2 and now TP3. If Iran proved anything, it's that it cannot establish deterrence.
6) Not if ICAC has been damaged.
Is the water crisis a result of the regime's mismanagement, or is it due to climate change? It is mainly the climate.

It is a result of mismanagement. Iran's precipitation average is still twice that of Egypt, yet Cairo doesn't have water and power cuts like we do now. Iran's water crisis is a result of decades of mismanagement and wrong policies in agriculture and population planning.
You are in fantasy land if you think the inflation crisis is exclusive to Iran. I gave you facts. The job market, and the economy in the US, the biggest economy in the world is bad. You have over 50 million people relying on food banks. That is the government's own data .
The Americans can move to a cheaper country because of the strength of the US dollar and many are doing so. Iranians cannot do that as Iranian currency is worthless these days.
Do you realize that the government, as we speak, is discussing coupons for food in Iran for the first 7 deciles of the society? The reason that they are not doing so is monetary issues and lack of funds.
Nationwide average of minimum salary in the US is $11.80 per hour. One kilogram of beef in the US is at most $23. This is as high as it goes, while some cuts are even lower than that at around $11. That's about 2 hours of minimum wage at the worst case scenario.
One kilogram of cheapest beef in Iran is 10-11 hours of minimum wage. Do you see the difference?
Is the regime incompetent? Yes. Has it all been a disaster? No. You need to examine real data sets. You can not compare Iran to Germany. You can not compare Iran with Israel. In 1979, only 25% of the women were literate. How does that look today?
Did the regime need to antagonize world Jewry? No
Is the Palestinian tragedy our fight and our fight alone? No. There are two billion muslims in the world; other than the Axis, no one has taken a stance.
Agreed. So, why does the regime continue this needless policy? It seems that both of us agree that it is not our responsibility to fight this war for the Palestinians.
Iran can choose to be a patsy of the US, a puppet regime, or hope that China will step in and support it in ways that it supports Pakistan. All roads lead to China. The Ukraine war leads to China. The 12-day war between Iran/ Israel 12 day war leads to China.
China never asked for this, to be honest. China is not interested in a clash with the US, at least at this point, the Ayatollahs are.
I don’t understand the appeals coming from Zarif’s camp, who, in effect, operates as the de facto president. What exactly does Europe have to offer Iran? Iran does not need Europe; it can sell its oil to China and others without relying on European support. Europeans seem to be in a state of ideological decline, Nihilism. Look at the self-destructive policies rooted in white guilt—allowing uncontrolled migration that undermines their national identity. Why should Iran engage seriously with a bloc that offers little of value?
We are back to the time of the Qajar era. I will reiterate what I have said times and times again here. The conservative party is full of Russian shills, and the reformist party is full of Western-backed shills. We do not have independents in Iran anymore.
