Instead, it will prove that Trump is a stupid fool to get dog-walked into a war with Iran instead.

He was always a stupid fool, that's already known. No proof needed for that.

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council says talks with US representatives will begin in Islamabad on Friday under Pakistan’s mediation and may last up to 15 days, following a limited pause in hostilities.

Tehran said the move does not signal the end of the war, adding that any final cessation depends on meeting its conditions, including sanctions relief, guarantees against future attacks, and regional arrangements.

It also said it has proposed a 10-point framework covering compensation, the withdrawal of US forces, and the Strait of Hormuz, while warning its forces remain ready to respond to any violations.

I have a feeling the GCC sheikdoms will lose badly and cut to their size, geopolitically. Specially UAE.

Iran should play smart here and make some big oil deals with US Govt. This will push Israel plans back to the drawing board for years to come.

I don't think Iran will reach a large-scale oil trade agreement with the United States.

The United States is also an oil-producing country, and this cooperation does not align with the interests of American energy capital. If Iran were to cooperate with the United States on oil, it would require American capital to enter Iran, which does not match the current situation.

Moreover, the cooperation between two oil-producing countries would be too obvious in its target. This would force China to reduce its purchase of Iranian oil, and we would turn to Gulf countries and Russia. China is Iran's core market, and losing the Chinese market does not serve Iran's interests.

Here is the first lie that Iran has already begun peddling.

That 64B assumes normal traffic. It also assumes that PGCC and Saudi Arabia will pay the toll. Not a Chance in Hell and will use their own pipelines to bypass it. Also that toll has to be split with Oman.

So in reality it’s $32B for Iran and that’s assuming full historical traffic with everyone paying the $1M share for Iran’s side. It’s a farce assuming Iran ever even gets the chance to implement the toll.

Let's make rough calculation

Over 100 ships normally pass per day, around 50 are tankers.

Let's say half of those have no fees (Oman waiver) and another 20% Iran allows without fees including its own.

So you are left with 40 ships, which includes 20 tankers per day

20x$2m for tanker + 20×$1m for other ships = around $22bn annually.

This should be put aside to help with rebuilding, Iran should push for all sanctions off its energy infra and exports.

You can't mean that. Qatar is already calling on Iran to pay reparations, and they have a UNSC resolution to win the case at the ICJ. You think Iran won? What did we win exactly?

All Persian Gulf Arab states, one by one, will open cases at the ICJ for reparations. Qatar is just the first one to publicly announce it.

There have been reports of explosions of "unknown source" in the Siri Island and the Lavan refinery in the last 2-3 hours. What did we win exactly?

USA has accepted Iran Hormuz tollbooth.

Do you know how much money it will mean?

It's a huge victory for Iran.

‘Don’t repeat mistakes,’ China tells UN Security Council after vetoing Strait of Hormuz resolution​

Draft resolution proposed by Bahrain ‘failed’ to capture ‘root causes, full picture’ of US-Israeli conflict with Iran, says Ambassador Fu Cong
Riyaz ul Khaliq
April 07, 2026•

China on Tuesday urged the UN Security Council to learn from past mistakes as it voted down a resolution on the Strait of Hormuz, which remains under Iran’s effective control amid the continuing war with the US and Israel.

Addressing the Security Council, Ambassador Fu Cong said the draft resolution brought by Bahrain “fails to capture the root causes and full picture of the conflict in a comprehensive and balanced manner.”

The council failed to pass the resolution, which called for coordinated "defensive" measures to ensure freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, after Russia and China rejected it, exercising their power of veto as permanent members of the top UN body.

The draft resolution got 11 votes in favor. Colombia and Pakistan abstained.

Fu said the failed resolution “contains one-sided condemnation and pressure.”

“Such language is highly susceptible to misinterpretation,” he warned.

In an oblique response to US President Donald Trump’s threat that “whole civilization will die tonight” as his deadline nears for reaching a ceasefire agreement with Iran, Fu said: “At a time when the United States is openly threatening the very survival of civilization, the current hostilities imposed on Iran are very likely to further escalate.”

The draft resolution, if adopted, would have sent a “wrong message” with “very serious concerns,” Fu said.

Very commendable of China and Russia.

Your viewpoint is correct.

We will not control these strategic locations; that is your sovereignty and territory. Respecting the territorial and sovereign integrity of other countries is our diplomatic principle.

We only hope to pass through safely. If it is necessary to establish ports or bases in these locations, we will resolve it through the exchange of interests.

In our view, using interest exchange is the fairest, most reasonable, and simplest method.

To be honest , China is the only country we won't mind giving them a base on the mediterranean ..

 

[Taimoor]

Does it matter?

Modi is a goddamn joke and India is more irrelevant than ever. His judgement is so stupid and off all the time. He bet on Iran collapsing, it is still standing and Pakistans position as a geopolitical heavyweight has cemented.

These "dayhate aurats" (village women) will lash out at Pakistan in anger. watch the space. They are very predictable.

 

[东风夜放花千树]

PAKISTAN ALSO THANKS CHINA FOR BEING STEADFAST BROTHER AND A WONDERFUL ALLY... THANKS FROM PAKISTAN

We support Pakistan and other countries in their diplomatic efforts to stop the war and maintain peace.

On March 27, 2026, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi had a phone conversation with Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Qureshi.

The two sides agreed to jointly promote a ceasefire and end the war, resume peace talks, ensure the safety of non-military targets and waterways, and support the United Nations in playing a leading role.

I believe that Iran made a mistake as it needed to cause severe damage to Zionist entity to actually “finish” this war.

It simply wasted dozens of missiles clustering Tel-Aviv when they should have been sent to knock out Zionist oil refineries, power plants and desalination plants.

It was because it got distracted by cluster bombing settlers that Zio-US felt emboldened to attack Iranian critical infrastructure

It did not learn the lesson of June 2025 12 day war- it immediately knocked out Haifa Oil Refinery after Zionist entity attacked South Pars gas field. After this Zionist entity did not dare attack Iranian infrastructure again.

The war fighting against Israel was odd, and lacked strategy, and there will be lessons learnt. I suspect this maybe down to the mosaic framework that did not have a core guiding guidelines for operations ? Something was off, for sure.

Long live Iran, 5,500 years and still going. One of the prides of Asia.

 

[Ali_Baba]

Israel's own YNET was last night (NYC Time) saying a ceasefire on Lebanon is part of the ceasefire but, of course, Netanyahu above all wants land!
If Israel doesn't stop its war of conquest on Lebanon then Iran should pound Israel and only pound Israel, ceasefire or not.
You see: This war on Iran had at least two major Israeli objectives: Severe degradation of Iran as a state and to use the cover of this war to conquer and absorb Lebanese land.

As part of the deal going forward, Pakistan/China/Partners should insist that Israel removes its occupation forces form "all" of Lebanon, not what was taken recently.

Did UAE strike Iran?

Oman should be very happy, they get to earn a lot of money by doing nothing.

Yes..
but also, I wanted to highlight their ideology of 'shared prosperity'. Regions prosper, or nobody does. See the situation of the Gulf, for example. They directly/indirectly/intentionally/unintentionally deprived some neighbours. As a result, when those neighbours (Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Syria, etc) suffer, the prosperous Gulf countries suffer too.
