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

Taiwan got 11 days of LnG reserves left. China will never get a moment like this to do forceful reunification with America’s military might depleted and preoccupied and the world on brink of economic energy crisis.

Very surprising to see not even a military build up as a show of force. But I guess Xi wants to continue with the desire to achieve peaceful reunification goals.

I think a lot of it depends on the personality of the leader. If the leader is too cautious in nature, the state will adopt similar policies, if the leader is hawkish in nature, the state will show hawkish policies and so on. I don't think Xi has it in him to go beyond business and economic expansion at most.

I thought the rail link goes via Turkmenistan. But then again, you have to try it somehow, no risk no gain. Ship small amounts first to see it those aircraft are shot down. Also try keeping it secret, US intelligence is good but they are not God. The North Korea to Russia via plane near the Volga region, from there by ship or small ship or smuggling route. That region is vast, I am sure something can be worked out.

Turkmenistan is mostly anti-Iran rather than pro-Iran.
Israel just targeted a military shipment from Russia to Iran in the Caspian Sea a couple of days ago.

And Iran doesn't need just one nuclear warhead. We'll need at least 5-10 bombs to establish deterrence. And then again, we don't know if Iran has already mastered nuclear implosion or not. So, Iran probably needs more than just the fissile material.

No he has not. Just a statement in support of Iran. He hasn’t issued a Fatwa and mobilization call yet, like he did for ISIS invasion

Reports explicitly call it a fatwa, however, it was to take part in protests rather than for actual violent action. We'll see if that changes.

Iraq's top Shiite cleric declares support for Iran a 'collective duty'

Iranian officials have told Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey that US military movements have increased their suspicion that Trump's proposal for peace talks is "just a ruse," per Axios.

Details include:

1. Trump's decision to deploy major troop reinforcements is "suspicious" to Iran

2. Several fighter jet squadrons and thousands of troops are set to arrive in the Middle East in the coming days

3. Officials say another two to three weeks of war is planned even if talks take place

Iran continues to demand reparations.

IRAN should have asked about one of their ceasefire demands that most of these Pahlavi supporters should be transferred to Iran for right education, awareness, and disciplines.



Crows - if you don't know what does this mean, check out old history!

Whatever Iran needs from DPRK, they can be flown in from DPRK to Russia in smaller chunks and then smuggled from Russia in multiple batches. US/Israel can't get wind of every batch. Iranian intelligence should be able to arrange this, even if some get struck, most will arrive. The US/Israelis are competent but they are not god.
 
Looks like Israel is running really low on interception missiles.

At the same time Iran is wary of US troops on the ground therefore rationing their drone, missiles stockpiles.

A whim of US ground invasion on Iran would mean Iran firing missiles at power plants, desalination plants all over GCC. This will be very disturbing.

All reports I have read say that talks 'might' take place within this week and Pakistan is offering the talks to be held in Islamabad, once Iran confirms it.
Twitter took this info and misquoted it as some kind of active negotiations or confirmed negotiations, complete with reports of parties arriving in Serena hotel, none of which has any basis.
Yes, Pakistan is delivering the messages between US and Iran, as reported by everyone as of now .... but no negotiations are taking place or confirmed to have taken place unless Iran agrees to it first (which they are refusing to do so anyway)

Hard to say. We all know one 'news' can become 'viral' and is spread all over the global media where the news outlets don't want to be left out and post and then posts and reposts everywhere.
Having said that, it was a pretty odd 'news' that JD Vance was going to Pakistan to lead an American delegation to talk with Iran by the end of this week. Plenty of credible channels are alluding to Pakistan's role, including credible sources like Reuters and NY Times. And today Reuters is saying that Iranians are open to negotiations either in Pakistan or Turkey. Hmmm.
I tend to think there is something like that happening and that Vance is presented as a 'face' because Witcoff and Kushner have no credibility.
