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

[Xerxes22]

Dont think we'll make much of it

 

[Arash]

Doesn’t seem like Iran is serious about negotiations. Last minute venue changes and formatting changes.

More theatrics

Or some countries there playing games as well...

US shoots down Iranian drone approaching aircraft carrier, official says

Curious if it was actually close or American forces now choose to make up what they believe is close or far

Iran has so many drones which one is the shahed 139 and not sure if that’s even true about the drone how they got the information so quickly on the type.

There is no such thing as Shahed-139, they probably meant Shahed-129

Iran immediately sends another drone to monitor USS Abraham Lincoln

I thought so but honestly don’t see how they even know that at this point in time

Yes, it seems they are referring to the MQ-1 reaper clone project. No evidence this ever was mass produced other than that single picture. The lack of quality control doesn’t bode confidence this was a serious project to replicate the MQ-1 when the Mohajer-10 also exists.

Compared to mohajer-10, S-139 looks like a cheap knock off.



I still think it was an S-129 as that drone is the back bone of IRGC’s drone fleet and saw extensive use in Syria. I wouldn’t trust US reports properly identify the drone either intentionally or unintentionally misidentification is something they like to do.

For those who know, IRI has got P5+1/E3+3 replaced with a group of regional countries who won't go against IRI for multi-fold reasons, unlike E3+3. IRI entered talks with US through P5+1/E3+3 (4/6 members staunch anti Iran) with ~3 MBPD production, exports worth 60-70 Billion USD, defense budget of 7 Billion USD, may be ~700 S/MR BM/CM and 3.5% enrichment capacity.
IRI is now talking to US through bunch of regional countries (none inherently anti Iran) with 5+ MBPD production, exports worth 115 Billion USD, defense budget of 40 Billion USD, 3000+ MR/IR/Hypersonic BM/CM, 60% HEU capacity. What exactly changed except for more entrenchment?

Question for us Iranians, who started this coup or policy change inside Iran around 2018-2020 to look more inward (anti Soleimani policies) ?

Larijani runs the IRGCAF sanctions busting companies. Shamkhani runs the oil fleet, right? Cant have a coup without these two being on the same page.

Lets see if fellow Iranians and Americans on this forum could agree to this deal:

- All enriched Uranium gos to either a consortium or Russia for fuel processing, Iran holds none but can enrich liquid grade.
- Inspection in place to confirm meeting obligations.
-400kg nuclear material handed to the consortium/Russia.
- Iran work towards regional security and not involve itself in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen from a military perspective but politically and financially is ok.

In return US lifts all sanctions, established embassy, Iran does as well and a dialogue confidence building group. Trumpy gets Iranian nomination for peace prize and US backs away from its threats we avert war.

Now I know both sides won't like the above deal, thats why its worth going for it as you have to give and take unless you are completed subjugated and militarily destroyed.

So thumbs up you agree, down you dont.

Idk Houthis for the most part can handle most issues and right now these guys in the south are more out to kill one another than worrying about the Houthis so I can see Iran just supporting them politically.
If they turned on Hezbollah that would be the biggest issue.
Iraqi groups aren’t interested in causing problems they keep to the the most part and again by now they can do most things in house with minimal assistance never seen any reports of long range missiles in Iraq.
Russia isn’t one to be trusted I wouldn’t be wrong to assume they double dip on playing Iran against everyone else they take what they need from Iran and give the most minimal assistance to them.

I’m for the regional consortium deal with Muslim and Arab countries being heavily invested in it and perhaps other enrichment sites being built in Saudi Arabia turkey and Egypt the Israelis would go crazy but that only works with full backing from Arab and Muslim countries

Agreeing to one demand means they will move onto making the second demand. So, it'll be back to square one, keeping Iran under pressure perpetually.

They should not be in a position to make any demands or at least, Iran has such a backing from China/Russia that it can withstand any US/EU demands.

Iran, for whatever reason has voluntarily agreed to stringent IAEA monitoring. It's baffling.

They should just burn the NPT contract at this point

 

[Shags101]

You don't think Bangladesh will make much of it? Interesting!

Is Bangladesh in any position to make an issue of it to be fair they tend to keep very quiet on most issues nothing against that sometimes it’s best to keep out of regional conflicts that doesn’t involve them unless they want trump to make up some far fetched reason to attack them as well

Just In, US shot down Iranian drone. let's see where this will land.

So America has 3 demands from Iran:
1. Cease uranium enrichment
2. Limit missile program
3. End support to regional proxy groups

Solution:
Hand over all the enriched uranium to Hezbollah and all long range missiles to Houthis, then cutoff communication with these groups. Thats it, all American demands met successfully
