Forum is Neutral and allow everyone to share their views......

Of course. I believe in this forum, and have done so for a long time. There are other suitable sections for me to voice my views on this forum, and they are adequate for me. I choose to be more of a reader of this thread, for many reasons, including keeping the peace.

On topic, what I can say here is that Iran has come up on a simple choice as a result of this war: continue with its old dogmatic policies, or chart a new, more pragmatic course.

It is likely that it will choose the latter and not the former.

PS: And yes, water is wet, including in the Strait of Hormuz. Very wet.

There were no US bases in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asian States

Iranian media: implementation of opening Strait of Iran was dependent on conditions tied to the Lebanon ceasefire. If the maritime blockade continues, it would be considered a violation of the ceasefire and could lead to closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

This is again "wait and see" based on Iran's choice....we all know this.

Repeating same thing over and over in different words......

My request was totally different, I hope my gulabi angraizi is not causing confusions....

Well we can EMPHATICALLY say there are NO US bases in Pakistan!

I clearly said it, but let me use more direct langugage, if it helps your understanding:

Iran will likely change its policies to be more accommodating to geopolitical realties in the region, since the choice to continue with its old hardline approach has been rendered unsuitable by this war.

I hope that is clear enough, so I will stop here.

Sanctions or not, Iran could have done far better given their immense human and natural resources. They, along with Iraq, are the true potential superpowers of the Middle East, surpassing even Israel. But time to learn from the past mistakes and do better in future.

100%. If Iran opens up, it will devour the rest of Gulf economies in comparison. The potential in Iran, its population is massive.

I know, I didn't create the photo. I just copied it and pasted it here.

The US did have military bases in Afghanistan, prior to the Taliban retakeover. I am 100% certain of that one.
Anyway, the photo is not accurate. But the point of it stands. If the US leaves its bases in the Middle East, it will be a huge victory for Iran.

If Iran is to become like South Korea, it has to open up, and that means a huge change from its chosen path of the last half century, not just for its leadership, but also for its population at large.

Otherwise, it can choose to remain secure but isolated, like North Korea, sort of.

Iran has been cornered and it has no choice but to survive for now. Opening up is great and extremely beneficial for the Iranian nation, but may not happen any time soon as the US is looking for the capitulation of Iran, rather than coexistence.

The example of South Korea is rather irrelevant because East Asia does not have an equivalent of Israel. Israel is a major obstacle to the development of this region.
