Moral high ground is irrelevant and a western double standard, because we are in the era of might is right. White countries use it, so everyone else ,including iran, is allowed to use their might too. Ur welcome.

I read a book of his once. Don't remember which one. Felt like he was fighting a case for improving Iran-US relationship while throwing Pakistan under the bus. That was my impression of it at least.

I read and hear all the math you're mathing,but the premise of your argument has 1 critical flaw - US is not a truly functional democracy, it's dictatorial democracy, and the proof of this is that us Americans never get what the majority of us demand from our govt! So these points you make to imply that us Americans have real control over our politicians, who in turn have real control over the US govt and it's actions is flawed and bogus. Our voting in federal elections only supports the corrupt American dictatorship we live in. Every US president will support Israel and enter a war or 2 during their term/s.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson: Iran will not compromise on enrichment rights
Foreign Ministry spokesperson: Iran will not compromise on enrichment rights
April 16, 2026 - 0:27
TEHRAN- Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has emphasized that Iran will not compromise on its enrichment rights, asserting that its entitlement to nuclear energy is firmly rooted in international law and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
Speaking in a press conference in Tehran on Wednesday, Baqaei dismissed the unfounded Western media speculations about Iran’s enrichment program, emphasizing that Iran’s legitimate rights, as recognized under international law, are non-negotiable, IRNA news agency reported.
The spokesperson underlined that the right to peaceful enrichment is not a gift or concession from any other country that can be revoked under pressure or in times of war, adding that as long as Iran remains a member of the NPT, it must be able to benefit from its advantages.
Refuting media reports on alleged enrichment claims during the recent Iran-US negotiations in Pakistan, he noted that any agreement must first establish a comprehensive framework. Until the overall terms are agreed upon, discussions on the specifics, especially regarding critical issues like war and peace involving both Iran and the United States, are premature, he explained.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Baqaei rejected claims that Iran had ceased its support for the Lebanese resistance, stressing that Iran has always stood with that country's legitimate resistance, and that stopping the war in Lebanon was one of the main components of the ceasefire understanding in the Islamabad talks.
He added that the other side (the Zionist regime) ignored that part of the ceasefire from the beginning, but Iran has not backed down from its commitment and has pursued and continues to pursue this issue seriously in the Islamabad talks.
Baqaei noted that in any agreement, if one party violates its commitment, the other party is permitted to proportionally reduce its obligations. Propaganda about Iran’s inattention to the resistance fronts in Lebanon, despite Iran’s explicit commitment in the ceasefire understanding, is completely false, he added.
Reacting to the European proposal to form a UN-led coalition to secure the Strait of Hormuz, Baqaei emphasized that Iran, as a littoral state and with the cooperation of regional countries, is fully capable of ensuring the security of this waterway.
He added that for decades, Iran has been the guardian of security in the Strait of Hormuz, and the only problems created in the past 40 days have been caused by the imposed war of the US and the Zionist regime.

I agree that the public opinion doesn't get reflected in American policies when it comes to the Middle East because increasingly the POTUS is acting like a dictator but a critical mass against Israel is building.
I wonder what would you have said if/when there would be punitive actions against Israel, which I absolutely don't rule out in future? I am sure you were aware that during the Gaza war similar lazy statements against 'the West' always siding with Israel but now look at where Europe stands, and even the UK stands? In UK, smart voting by pro peace and Muslim voters made a 'regime change' there, which is still better than the regime before that.
Change often comes slowly. Nothing lasts forever.
