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

[mythbuster]

Yes, but that started after the third round. The first two rounds were pretty positive. Iranians came to the negotiating table with a detailed offer and the Americans accepted the offer and said they would discuss it with Washington.

Do not count on the Russians or the Chinese. They let 4 rounds of UNSC sanctions to be passed on Iran, why would they act differently this time?

The IR has put themselves in this place and it's really hard to get out of it this time. The only way left is to go nuclear. We have enough uranium for 10-15 warheads. We seem to have a working design for an implosion device similar to Mark V. We have IRBMs that can put any European capital under our nuclear missiles. The only choice left to survive is to go nuclear and then negotiate with the West over the megatons of our nuclear arsenal. Just like our missile technology. They resisted it at first, but now they have accepted it.

Little doze of reality ......west specifically and international community as a whole will not allow another nuclear power state . ... another islamic country with nukes right in the centre of middle east theatre ?? ..... don't even think about it ... it's not a defeated mentality, it's a reality....... going nuclear means giving carte blanche for nuclear response .

Putin got burned by the west, there is zero trust and the Iranian have been cooperating with Russia, it not a defense pact, but I don't see Russia not vetoing anything right now both North Korea and Iran have been the only ones to support Russia, and Russia has shielded North Korea.

North Korea is not taken as a serious threat to western interest Iran is .

As anticipated, the reformist government appears to be steering Iran toward unconditional surrender. Accepting these terms would spell doom, as Iran's sovereignty would be entirely compromised. In the ensuing years, a systematic weakening and decapitation strategy would unfold, ultimately reducing Iran to a state akin to Syria. It is disheartening that the Revolutionary Guards lack the resolve to stage an armed uprising and prevent such an agreement. This is the ultimate triumph of Trump and Israel's assassination campaigns, as all competent generals have already been eliminated.

Idk has it been confirmed that Iran made the payment? Maybe Iran changed its mind. Only in January 2025 of this year was there anything concrete said by an Iranian official.

Before this, there was denial from Iran.

Iran Disputes Reports Of First Delivery Of Russian Su-35 Fighter Jets

Iranian officials have denied media reports about the imminent delivery of new Russian Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jets to Iran.

Do we know the delivery schedule? these things don't happen overnight usually, when an order is placed, especially when Russia is in a war where there is attrition and other orders placed much earlier.

It has always been like this with the IRIAF. They prefer to keep a shadow of secrecy and confirm and deny all the time. This strange behavior is mainly due to the US and Israel lobbying with Russians to stop the deals with Iran, particularly the IRIAF.
Iran has been in negotiation with the Russians since 2019 and we signed the deal a few years ago. I don't remember the date, but it was probably in October 2021, after the UN Security Council sanctions on selling offensive weapons to Iran expired.

Yes, the first batch was supposed to be delivered in 2024, but then many Iranian news outlets, including official ones, claimed March 2025 to be the date. Yet, nothing happened as usual.

Why do you think it's the reformists only? Even Mashreghnews, a right-wing news outlet affiliated with the IRGC, was optimistic about the negotiations when it started.

The system fucked up in 2015. It wasn't just the reformists and Zarif. The parliament passed the JCPOA with unanimous vote in only 20 minutes. The President in Iran never makes decisions alone. The role of President in Iran does not enjoy the same amount of power it has in many other countries. He has just one vote out of 5 in the National Security Council. Iran capitulated in 2015 when we decided to accept the snapback mechanism.

Did anyone then explain to the Iranian public about the pros and cons of the snapback mechanism??? Bit unusual, to be honest, it's the first time I have heard about such stuff...

No. In fact, most people in Iran didn't know what the snapback mechanism is until last year.

Hardcore right-wing newspapers like Keyhan and Mashreghnews did expose the snapback mechanism, but Zarif downplayed it and the Rohani administration didn't really talk about it publicly. Nevertheless, there's no doubt that Zarif is a treasonous c*nt, and Rohani too, but it wasn't only them that put us in this situation. All those Parliament members that passed the JCPOA as a resolution in 20 minutes, took a photograph with Federica Mogherini at the parliament, and people in the National Security Council, all should be held responsible for this.

It seems there will be no deal, trumpy wants zero enrichment.

Such a shame that incompetent anti-nationalist fools are allowed to enter the majlis so easy and our nation pays the price.

They just backed off from zero enrichment policy to 3.76% enrichment allowed

But with massive setbacks such as no further R&D and no future facilities/centrifuges

But this is still very far from the Trump boasting maximalist demands such as 0 enrichment & dismantling all nuclear facilities

New intelligence suggests Israel is preparing possible strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, US officials say



Without the support of the United States,especially without the U.S.assistance in aerial refueling and the provision of bombs to strike underground infrastructure,Israel would not have the capability to attack Iranian nuclear facilities.

It seems that it's much worst than "massive setbacks". It's seems closer to utter madness what's being considered by Iran. I pray once again that I'm in the realm of tin foil hats. If what's written in the article below is anywhere near truth, then I'm going to classify any deal that is agreed on these fundamentals as the greatest treachery and defeat Iran as ever faced!
I'll write a proper analysis later.
