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

[VCheng]

Are you seriously worried about persians well-being

Do you decide who can or cannot be worried about anyone else?

I am merely asking a question, because it is up to the Persians themselves to decide whether their State policies are helping or hampering their economic well-being, in the context of the current situation.

An entirely relevant, and important, question to ask.

That is all.

Interesting fact . First , it must be significant enough that now they’re threatening the entire global economy. Second, they are admitting that the US blockade is very porous .

Iran targeted a US air base on Thursday after the United States struck what Washington described as an Iranian drone operation near the Strait of Hormuz, and President Donald Trump rejected a ‌reported compromise deal with Tehran.
The attacks, while limited, highlighted the fragility of negotiations aimed at turning the tenuous ceasefire that took effect in early April into an agreement to end the three-month-old war and reopen the vital shipping route.
A US official told Reuters the military shot down four Iranian attack drones and struck a ground control station in the port city of Bandar Abbas that was about to launch a fifth drone.

"These actions were measured, purely defensive and intended to maintain the ceasefire," said the official, who requested anonymity to speak candidly about military operations.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said later that it had targeted the US base responsible for an early-morning attack near Bandar Abbas airport, Tasnim news agency reported.
The IRGC, which did not name the base, said any repeat of what it called aggression ⁠would lead to a "more decisive" response.
Kuwait - which hosts a large US base - said it was responding to missile and drone attacks without saying where the attacks were coming from.
In Lebanon, which Iran says must be part of any overall agreement to end the war launched by Israel and the United States on February 28, Israel had begun striking civilian infrastructure in Tyre, claiming that they were striking Hezbollah infrastructure.
The Lebanese army reported that an Israeli strike had killed one of its soldiers, while Israel, which launched incursions deep into sovereign Lebanese territory in pursuit of Hezbollah, claimed hostile aircraft infiltration had triggered sirens in its north.
Oil prices rebounded, with US crude futures up around 2.5% after falling 5% on Wednesday, while stocks fell and the dollar rose.
Trump says no country to control Strait

​

The war has killed thousands and sent global energy prices sharply higher, fuelling inflation and hitting currencies in some Asian countries while boosting the dollar.
Trump has repeatedly said the end of the war is close but told media at a cabinet meeting on Wednesday he was not yet satisfied by the talks with Iran and that the US was not discussing easing sanctions on the country, one of Tehran's demands.
He dismissed an Iranian state TV report about an unofficial draft of an agreement to restore commercial shipping through the strait to ‌prewar levels ⁠within a month, with Iran and Gulf state Oman jointly managing traffic.
Trump said no single country would have control over the waterway, and appeared to threaten Oman, a country with which the US has decades-long military and economic ties.
"Nobody's going to control (the strait)," Trump said. "It's international waters, and Oman will behave just like everybody else or we'll have to blow them up. They understand that, they'll be fine."
Oman has not said anything about the idea of joint control of the strait with Iran, with which it says it has discussed freedom of navigation. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei expressed solidarity with Oman after what it called "US officials' threats".
Iran was insisting on the United States releasing Iranian funds, the ⁠deputy secretary of its National Security Council, Ali Bagheri Kani, said, according to a Tasnim report.
Ongoing sanctions, the dismantling of Iran's nuclear capacity and the blockage of Hormuz, which handled a fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas traffic before the war, are the major sticking points in talks to end the conflict.
The waterway is covered by international law that guarantees foreign vessels the right to pass through.
The US Treasury Department added the Persian Gulf Strait Authority, the Iranian ⁠body set up to manage passage through the strait, to a list of sanctioned people and entities seen as posing threats to US national security.
Iranian state TV said the draft deal would also have the US withdraw military forces from the immediate vicinity, though it said the issue of US troops in the region needed further discussion. The White House dismissed the report as a "complete fabrication." Tehran did not comment.
Iran's nuclear program, ⁠which the US wants disbanded, was not mentioned in the Iranian TV report.
Iranian sources have said talks on the nuclear issue will come in a second round of negotiations - something that may not be acceptable to some of Trump's closest supporters. Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.
"The bottom line is Iran's never going to have a nuclear weapon," US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said at the cabinet meeting.

the longterm bonds have spiraled... the short terms are coming due as well... while running the deficit in trillions and an already out of control inflation.

Yes, people of USA are indeed worried about their economic well-being due to the policies of their current administration, as you point out above.

I am sure that is exactly the question I asked first above as well, for the other party to the conflict.

Do you decide who can or cannot be worried about anyone else?

I am merely asking a question, because it is up to the persian themselves to decide whether their State policies are helping or hampering their economic well-being, in the context of the current situation.

An entirely relevant, and important, question to ask.

That is all.

Are you familiar with Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs?

You seem like a typical first generation immigrant - stuck somewhere between step 1 and 2.

Whilst the Iranians have been on step Step 4 for the last 47 years!

And are fighting the US hegemon - so that they can reach step 5.

Your haranguing of the “Persians” about their “economic well-being” - is akin to wondering why the starving homeless don’t commit crimes so they can get three square meals a day.

Well! Not even an animal volunteers to be locked up for a free meal.

That’s the difference between the living and the dead!

And are fighting the US hegemon - so that they can reach step 5.

I wish them every luck in their quest, of course. May Allah grant them success in what they seek!

But the question remains: Are their policies helping or hindering this quest?

Remember when they said Iran’s leaders would flee to Russia and were withdrawing funds to flee for the outset of war?

They assumed that the Islamic Republic leadership would react the same way that the shallow Pahlavist themselves would react when placed in the same situation. We saw how in 1979 they stole as much money as they could and fled to the U.S and Europe. A thief always thinks that everyone else is a thief just like them!

WASHINGTON, May 28 (Reuters) - The ‌U.S. and ‌Iran have reached an agreement on a 60-day ‌memorandum ⁠of understanding to extend ⁠the ceasefire and launch negotiations on Iran's ‌nuclear program, but President Donald Trump still needs ‌to give final approval, ‌Axios reported on Thursday, citing two U.S. officials.





We can hope for the best here!

After the illegal war (It was even not declared by US) and the murdering of 196 children (among thousands of civilians) your worrying feelings are just a SARCAM.

Stop pretending to be nice with iranians.

 

[BananaRepublic]

I wish them every luck in their quest, of course. May Allah grant them success in what they seek!

But the question remains: Are their policies helping or hindering this quest?

Most of us are saying it’s helping. Trump’s psychotic outbursts reinforces it.

Question is why do you think it’s hindering? And what’s your alternative?

If the advice is to be like the GCC - gold plated prison - whilst the oil flows - then that’s a cockroach’s existence. Hence my reference to homeless not volunteering for prison life.

And only other cockroaches will give out that advice.

 

[VCheng]

Stop pretending to be nice with iranians.

So do you decide who can be nice or not to anyone else?

I am simply asking a relevant, and important question, without any bias or inclination whatsover.

You perhaps should try being impartial, if possible, but that choice is up to you.

 

[VCheng]

Most of us are saying it’s helping. Trump’s psychotic outbursts reinforces it.

Question is why do you think it’s hindering? And what’s your alternative?

That is good then, if those policies are working positively. Where have I implied that I think they are hindering? NOWHERE. So please stop your false statements.

I merely asked the question IF they are helping OR hindering.

Of course, if those policies are working positively, as "most of us are saying" then those policies should continue. That would be logical, without any need to change them.

Again,

Are you seriously worried about persians well-being after 47 seven of hostilities, crimes, law-breakings of EU, UK, US, Israel and Qatar, Emirates, and Saudi Arabia among others?

I just shut ut because I respect all membership of this forum.

This guy is a Troll who always faints concern for any party that dares to fight back against his Zionist masters pretending that things would be fine for them if they just didn't resist!
