No options left but to bring death and destruction in Iran and the region except those won't deliver the results. This madness needs to stop in a give and take for long term peace and stability.

I believe there is a coalescing faction in Washington that is pushing to get out of this war without further delay.
Militarily, it is a lost cause. Yes, I understand how many people think I'm nuts for saying such a thing, but that reality is becoming more apparent to more people with each passing day.
Even so, I am inclined to conclude that the empire is into this gambit way too far to turn back now. Negotiation of a deal from their current posture is unthinkable. Iran is dictating terms.
The US blockade has been a farce so far. They have interdicted a couple ships for show. Many others have sailed on their merry way.
Fact is, the US Navy cannot execute a tactically meaningful blockade. They have, at most, 17 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers in the Arabian Sea. They will absolutely feel compelled to retain at least a dozen of those to afford protection to the two carriers. That leaves five destroyers to enforce a blockade ranging over 3000+ miles of mostly sovereign waters (Pakistan and India) from the Iranian coast of the Gulf of Oman to the Strait of Malacca.
Good luck with that — especially if the Chinese decide to start escorting convoys with warships.
And so, back to the empire's dilemma: even if they know they can't sustain anything more than maybe another two weeks of high-intensity air strikes, they will almost certainly play that card in hopes of being able to improve their negotiating position.
Of course, many people see the headlines about "three carrier strike groups" poised to rain death and destruction on the presumptuous Iranians, and they understandably assume it is true.
They don't understand that the USS Poopy Gerry (CVN-78) is a ship in sore need of two years in the repair dock; a ship that is hiding out in the far northern reaches of the Red Sea, with three destroyers assigned to protect it until it can sneak back through the Suez Canal in the dead of night and limp back to Norfolk.
They don't understand that the US Navy has already been struggling to sustain the USS Fraidy Abe (CVN-72) as it does figure-8s in the safe deep blue waters of the Arabian Sea — no bases in which to rest, recuperate, and replenish. Nothing but the increasingly scant pantries, refrigerators, and freezers of a ship that needs to feed 5000 people three meals a day.
And now a navy that was struggling to sustain a single strike group in the Arabian Sea will be faced with sustaining TWO of them. The USS Bush League (CVN-77) has arrived on station, presumably not any closer than about 800 km from the Iranian coast.
This is a fleet whose combat-ready sustainability has an extremely short half-life.
The air force strike component in the region has not been strengthened to any significant degree during the course of this recent "ceasefire". In fact, it has been weakened considerably since its high-water mark in late February.
But a steady stream of C-17s has been delivering stuff of various kinds to the theater, presumably more air defense systems, interceptors, cruise missiles, and bombs.
The ground component remains entirely insufficient to do anything meaningful. A single Marine Expeditionary Unit on the USS Tripoli, a Brigade Combat Team from the 82nd Airborne Division, and several special forces units. Maybe amounts to 5000 combat effectives, but I doubt it.
Besides, I don't believe they could insert even a mere 3000 combat effectives without some fashion of disaster ensuing. I apologize for my certainty on this point, but in my considered opinion, anyone who believes the US can insert a ground force into Iran — be it 1000, 10,000 or 100,000 — is bats in the belfry crazy. It simply could not be done.
So that leaves them with an attempted reprise of the first couple weeks of this war: stand-off air and naval missile strikes. They will blow the whole wad on one last attempt to turn the tide of affairs.
But they won't disarm Iran.
And Iran will then strike back with unprecedented salvos from their substantial stockpiles.
And the state of affairs for the empire will go from bad to worse, with consequences as yet unforeseen.

I agree Mr Meengla. Peace is needed.
But the real obstacle it is Netanyahu and their league of his sinister Ministers..

Each of us knows very well that any deal must be supervised, approved and implemented by israelis.

The warmongers X posts of Katz Luftartministerium (My Luftwaffe is invincible! fashionlike posts) are showing the real interests of the other part.

Pakistán work is praiseworthy and, again, much more relevant and showing a leverage shamefully absent in EU.

But with this behaviour and real interests peace is not possible.

And remember wars are not won only by mighty power and achievements, wars also are won by whom is commiting less mistakes. And US and Israel are mistaking daily.

Destroying civilian infraestructure will uníte iranians, will deplete munitions while iranians are hidding and spreading all military assets and will increase the lifecost of US people. Maybe stupid (excuse my language) americans doesn't give a sh*t about Human rights and international law, maybe if iranians break their piggies and steal their wallets a negotiated end is achievable, but up to now, Donald Trump is lying iranians, lying americans and most stupid of all, lying himself.

So the war will finish when any of them commit the biggest mistake. And that seems to be occuring right now in US side.

Do you know why the US "allows" all these anti-war voices. It's so they can absolve themselves of being pure evil.

Like when they try so hard to create an impression that the innocent US doesn't want the war, it's being done at the behest of Israel by a handful of Americans. The poor Americans have no choice.

Sharma iranis have fukked everyone up and if this is not controlled, then all the ghareeb/badbakht will die!

Pakistanis are begging just to clear $1-2 billion of IMF traunch every few months, with Trump helping with that. Imagine 2 million Pakistanis working in the UAE sent back? Some Pakistanis here, especially living in the Western countries' comfort, forget Pakistan's dire economy and its reliance on remittances when they casually talk about wishing destruction in the Middle East. There is no practical, near-term alternates to remittances in an inefficient, corrupt, extremely overpopulated, resource starved country like Pakistan.
The war on Iran needs to stop not only for Pakistan but also for many other countries.

Except for the iranian revolution in 1979, NOTHING has boosted the iranian nation's confidence in itself and it's capabilities more than this clash iran just had with US and israel- i mean, nothing!

The almost miraculous performance iran had in this war, at least so far, seems like Sayyed Khamenei senior's parting gift to the iranian nation, which was mainly possible because of his wise and steadfast leadership of and belief in iran, and that credit is due to him and it must be given and acknowledged.

Iran now KNOWS US can't defeat it, which will probably put iran on a transformational path forward. Some weak, directionless neighbors of iran will likely collapse or submit to iran in the near future.

Your optimism is remarkable. May God listen your words and give iranians a complete victory in the upcoming attack.

There is a lot of freedom of expression in America but they are now under threat with Netanyahu and Trump in power in respective countries. One is still allowed to say whatever they want to but, if you are following the recent news, mere criticism of Israel is becoming a punishable offence for would be immigrants. That's unprecedented in America. It won't stop with the immigrants though. We have a Netanyahu sitting in the White House in Trump's disguise and he will not lose century and half of hard work for Zionism to some anti-war people.
PS. I envy the British tolerance and freedom of expression a lot. I often to move to the UK!

Iran offers new proposal amid stalled US peace talks​

• The text of the proposal is handed to Islamabad on Thursday evening

May 1, 2026

TEHRAN: Iran delivered a new proposal for peace talks with the US via mediator Pakistan, state media reported Friday, with negotiations between the two sides frozen despite a weeks-long ceasefire.

The text of the proposal was handed to Islamabad on Thursday evening, the IRNA news agency reported.

The war, launched by the United States and Israel with a vast wave of surprise strikes on February 28 has been on hold since April 8, but only one failed round of direct talks has taken place between Iranian and US representatives.


In the meantime, Iran has maintained its stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz, cutting off vast amounts of oil, gas and fertiliser from the world economy, while the United States has imposed a counter blockade on Iranian ports.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that US President Donald Trump had told security officials to prepare for the blockade to last months, causing oil prices to spike.

Despite the failure to negotiate an end to the war, the ceasefire has held. On Friday, judiciary chief Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejei, a senior figure and well-respected cleric, said “the Islamic Republic has never shied away from negotiations”.

Clever move to delay a US attack this weekend

 

[ghazi52]

War powers debate

Washington, meanwhile, was gripped by a legalistic debate over whether Trump had passed a deadline for requesting congressional approval for his war with Iran.

Administration officials, including defence secretary Pete Hegseth, insisted that the ceasefire meant that the clock was paused on a 60-day deadline requiring the president to seek war powers authorisation from Congress.

“For War Powers Resolution purposes, the hostilities that began on Saturday, February 28 have terminated,” a senior administration official told AFP late on Thursday.

Trump is under increasing domestic pressure over the war, with no clear victory in sight, inflation spiking due to the conflict and midterm elections due in November.

On Thursday, US government data showed slower than expected growth and inflation hit 3.5 percent.

Bro…….iran can’t do that cuz immediately it would become a Persian vs Arab war and that really needs to be avoided. We as Pakistanis need to calm all this down and make peace in that region or else our own survival is at stake.

Yes, so many quick deciding armchair Generals here not thinking things through first.
