nuclear file is in the hands of the SNSC not parliament, so this is not that relevant even if it's true, other than to put pressure on SNSC
 
Where are the fanboys that said iran had 50,000? 100,000? Even Patarames seemed to allude to Iran being able to build thousands of Ghadr variant missiles.

I remember when I said less than 5,000 MRBM on here I was berated and attacked. I guess we all got duped by the propaganda to some extent. Some more than others.
We have made nearly zero progress in semiconductors and metallurgy since early 2010s, it seems.

I think we might have over 10,000 missiles if we include SRBMs and AshBMs as well, but maybe that's just wishful thinking.

50,000-100,000 is just delusional. We all fell for the propaganda as you correctly pointed out. Some of us more, some of us less.

someone went through all the footage released by Israel of strikes against missile launchers

they assessed footage of 45 missile launchers being attacked (including 12 instances of duplicate footage being used by Israel). they say 9 were decoys/empty and 4 were only damaged. meaning only 24-33 active TELs were destroyed or damaged.

We know from footage of Iran's SSM bases that the IRGC-ASF likely has > 100 TELs in each base. So this is really an insignificant number apparently inflated by visual tricks for propaganda purposes. Not to mention that missile TELs are based on commercial trucks with upgraded hydraulics. They are not a bottleneck or hard to produce in any conceivable way.

the main unknown is whether Israel destroyed many more than they released footage for. but given they were releasing these videos so frequently and even went to such lengths to slightly distort videos to release them twice to inflate the perception of how many launchers were being hit, and also released footage hitting empty/decoy TELs, I would tend to believe they released footage of most if not all of the launchers they actually hit.

Confirmed. Two Iranian news outlets (reformist and conservative) have confirmed it.

ظریف: چیزی به نام «اسنپ‌بک» نداریم، در برجام یا شورای امنیت به آن «مکانیزم حل‌ و فصل اختلافات» گفته می‌شود
This is ridiculous. He still claims that snapback doesn't exist in the JCPOA lol

He is a pathologically narcissistic.

he is saying the word snapback does not exist in UNSCR 2231 / JCPOA and is a political term the West invented to sell the deal domestically. he is right about that. but the dispute resolution mechanism he talks about LEADS TO the 'snapback' of prior UNSC resolutions. so it's a distinction without a difference.

I know what he's talking about but there is no "dispute resolution mechanism" at all. It's not really a mechanism and it's not really dispute resolution either.

It's quite simple. Any of the global powers can accuse Iran of violating the deal and unless everyone agrees that Iran has not violated the deal, the sanctions will snap back.

the process is called dispute resolution mechanism but the effect of the 'mechanism' is what you describe. Zarif doesn't seem to recognise that concepts such as 'acting in good faith' or 'exhausting the dispute resolution mechanism' are subjective and unenforceable

What about Article 37?
I mean if that's all that there is to it, there is no snapback mechanism. But I'm sure there is. It's probably in Article 37 or 38.

If SnapBack goes into place:

Then the resolutions that covered these topics go back into effect:

  • An arms embargo
  • A ban on uranium enrichment and reprocessing
  • A ban on launches and other activities with ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons, as well as ballistic missile technology transfer and technical assistance
  • A targeted global asset freeze and travel ban on Iranian individuals and entities
  • Authorization for countries to inspect Iran Air Cargo and Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines cargoes for banned goods
