we are not using the HEU anyway. the point of leverage like the HEU is to know when to use it to extract concessions that we want. there are some options:The problem with that deal is that Iran's obligations under the deal are permanent and non-reversible while the US concessions are easily reversible with a stroke of a pen.
If we give up our HEU, not only there will never be sanctions relief or compensations, but they will try their regime change plans more eagerly than before.
Yes, 2 and 3 will lead to regime change. There is no way that Israel would allow an Islamic regime with anti-Israel sentiments stay in power.we are not using the HEU anyway. the point of leverage like the HEU is to know when to use it to extract concessions that we want. there are some options:
(1) total resistance - fight war as long as possible, and try to develop nukes. suffer massive damage, with no clear end path, unless nukes are somehow developed or the global economic situation deteriorates so the US is forced to offer favourable terms to Iran
(2) accept weak ceasefire and return to status quo - weak and vulnerable without funds to redevelop as US economic war continues and Israel returns to 'mow the lawn' again in 6-12 months
(3) make major compromises to change nature of relationship with the US, give up nuclear program, make missile compromises, and get significant sanctions relief
2 is probably the most likely.
Iran should develop nukes long before but due to fatwa they are not even west sanctioned them like hell always remind me a story when a villiger who was known miser trying purchase goat but he have only 100 rs he rejected the offer later that goat stolen by someone else and people in the market put blame on him and offer three punichment which he can choose...we are not using the HEU anyway. the point of leverage like the HEU is to know when to use it to extract concessions that we want. there are some options:

Trump seems open to his version of a 'regime change' (option 3). But I don't think the current hardliners are open to it.Yes, 2 and 3 will lead to regime change. There is no way that Israel would allow an Islamic regime with anti-Israel sentiments stay in power.
1 is the best option of the three, but it is probably too late for that. Khamenei really screwed Iran with his fatwa and strategic patience.
We could use the HEU if we could convert it into uranium metal.
Trump is not the only factor here. He could leave the office as early as 9 months later, if not 3 years later. Israel is not going to accept an Islamic Iran that its core ideology is based on anti-Israel sentiments.Trump seems open to his version of a 'regime change' (option 3). But I don't think the current hardliners are open to it.
You know the uranium metal facilities are destroyed. The enemy has air superiority and is watching Esfahan very closely. Any attempt to access the HEU will be detected, and there is not much we can do with it anyway since our main facilities were destroyed. We can always hope there are some undetected sites where our scientists are working in secret, but it seems unlikely.
That HEU and the Strait of Hormuz are our best/only leverage to end this war.

Thanks mate, you do very well yourself, I've been following that community in read-only without an account since the IMF days, and only recently joinedBrilliant assessment.
I could be wrong, but Iran received the PMU-2 variant of S-300 with some modifications. S-300VM also offers some anti-ballistic capabilities that Iran clearly lacked.
I think this war should end either by capitulation or a long-term settlement between us and the US. Anything else in between is disaster for Iran and Iranians.
