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

Nobody is paying anybody anything. Lifting sanctions off Iran will be reward in itself and Iran can repair the damage with Oil profits in addition to lifting the country out of whatever issues she has been facing with the sanctions.

It would also be great if we can finish the Pipeline, once the sanctions are lifted, and get Oil + Gas from Iran. The actual Iran-Pakistan-India plan would also be great for all 3 countries, if Indian leadership ever stops thinking politics for a minute.
Don't you think it's better to put the end of the pipeline in China............

We have a good reputation and ample funds. Do you want to receive Indian rupees?

That is one of the reasons Gwadar port is built in the first place to receive oil from Iran and then connect to Kashgar, China.
 
Day 2 of 14 day ceasefire:

- Largely holding between US and Iran
- Mostly holding between Israel and Iran (though Israel continues to fly drones over Iranian airspace which Iran is downing)
- UAE and Iran’s tit for tat seems to be over
- the Strait of Hormuz remains functionally closed (see below)
- Israel continues to commit genocide in Lebanon and the U.S. decided that Lebanon is not part of the agreement, threatening the ceasefire as Iran insists it must include Lebanon. Iran’s response is calibrated to minimise the risk of provoking the U.S., and limited to keeping the Strait closed
- with the latest U.S. statements insisting on no enrichment in Iran, the ceasefire seems to have a low chance of success. But IRI are committed to it despite some anger from the public, and talks continue in Pakistan
 


Rick Steves is best known for his guidebooks about Europe. He describes his first trip to the region in 1978, when he was 23, and then returned to Iran in 2009 for an episode of his PBS show.
 
China is likely to have no direct role in this drama.

Both sides use China as excuse and weight.
