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

[SolarWarden]

Trump backed down

but maintains his blockade

this status quo is not ideal for either side, but it seems the US found its answer to Iran closing the Strait

Really? You really think he's backing down? He's delaying not backing down likely doing it for Pakistan FM which ask Orangeman for a delay and likely use this time to get CVN Bush in position and other assets.

In a weird way the war provided more pressure, crude oil prices were hiking now the uncertainty around war or peace is making the price bounce but not over $100. This slows the intensity of the conflict and makes it more stomach-able for trumpy but it also makes it economically harder for Iran. Saying that atleast Iran isnt being bombed I was reading potentially 2m people may have lost work in Iran due to the infrastructure damage which is huge.

The government isn't helping either. Iran is in a complete digital blackout since February 29th. A lot of people in the IT industry have lost their jobs because the internet has been cut off. So, I suppose part of that 2 million people are the people involved in the IT sector, particularly coders and network specialists, etc.

On a side note, I hope @muhammed45 is safe. We haven't heard from him in nearly 2 months. He's also in the Iranian Army if I'm not mistaken.

It will cost US billions a week to keep the blockade…. Plus tonnes of resources will be wasted….. and US has more to lose if Iran is self reliant on food (majorly)

yesterday he said he would not extend the ceasefire, and will return to bombing, in his latest pathetic attempt to force Iran to submit to his insane demands

today he realised that failed and announced a unilateral extension of the ceasefire

yes, he backed down

I have a feeling that the security threat to Iranian delegation is much higher this time. They cannot risk travelling and everyone is blown at the same time.
The assassination can happen even on Pakistani soil.

Iran says, it makes no sense to extend ceasefire every few weeks

 

[Taimoor]

Now, will turkey stop the oil supply to Israel from Azerbaijan through its land ?

In all this mayhem, where is Isreal getting its energy supplies from and why Iran didn't chock those points during the war. As belligerent, it should have been the top priority.

It is worse for Iran for sure. Iran needs to do something about the US blockade.

There isn't much we can do, we can't protect tankers in the Indian ocean. The ceasefire has taken economic pressure off the US, gas prices has been falling here. As long as US ships stay out of missile range and occasionally catch Iranian ships, time is on their side until it isn't. Iran may just have to wait it out for the coming months and wait for the world cup and mid-terms.

I don't think we can wait it out. The situation will get pretty bad for Iran if the US imposes a blockade on our imports/exports. Even if our oil gets exported without trouble, there's still the issue of things like ammonium perchlorate that we need for our solid-fueled rockets.
Accepting the ceasefire was nothing short of treason.

Same old song.

Which is why they shouldn't delay. The IRGC should not give an F what others think of them by striking first after this pause. Use it before you lose it, they already lost a lot the first round the second round is likely going to be a more intense bombing campaign by Orangeman for not taking his deal.

Ha! If Iran were to do that then the narrative would immediately shift to the "infamous day" of April 21st, 2026 when big bad Iran attacked the innocent lovely pure US and Israel for no good reason whatsoever. History would begin on that day just like Oct 7th or Dec 6th. It would be mentally very comforting to Americans and Israelis and they would feel no remorse in dropping nukes on Iran as "retaliation".
