Yeah bec two superpowers who have all the reasons to be covert about this scenario need to announce it to the world to prove they are helping their strategic ally right?

Can coordinates be calculated without the use of satellites or GPS devices in an unknown location?
Answer (1 of 3): Of course. With a decent clock, a sextant and proper pre-computed navigation tables one can calculate one’s position fairly accurate. This method has been available for more than 250 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_navigation

It is mixed with other fuels at petrol stations basically. Its cheaper so more margin for the owners!

Iranian Light crude is highly valued for being light and sweet, containing manageable sulfur levels that reduce the need for complex, expensive refining compared to heavier alternatives. Its ideal density (33–36 API) allows for high yields of gasoline and diesel, making it efficient for many global refineries.
a reason why US is focus on Iran oil.
Compare US, which has lot of shale deposit. As of 2025–2026, many US shale producers need oil prices above \(\$80\) per barrel to be profitable and justify new drilling, with some estimates putting average break-even costs for new wells around \(\$70–\$75\). While some producers can operate at lower prices, industry veterans indicate that \(\sim\$80\) is the threshold for significant new investment.

Why make any effort when writing is on the wall for everyone to see and very visible.
running with your tail between your legs from everywhere: Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, cambodia, etc..
And now from Iran.
I personally can't wait for the little charade of this "fake genocidal empire" to bite the dust, even if it causes whatever elsewhere. Look fwd to it.

Source is the "policy director" of UANI.
NEW: Iran proposes a 3-stage plan to end the war.
Stage 1 (Now): End the war
— Turn ceasefire into permanent peace (≈30 days)
— Reopen Hormuz + lift US blockade (gradual)
— Mutual non-aggression (incl. Israel)
Stage 2 (mid-term): Nuclear deal
— Freeze enrichment up to 15 years
— Later cap at 3.6% (civilian level)
— No dismantling of nuclear sites
— Sanctions lifted step-by-step
Stage 3 (long-term): Region
— Launch Middle East security talks

To me, this doesn't seem like a capitulation, but the Americans will not lift sanctions unless they are completely assured that Iran cannot develop nuclear weapons. A 15-year pause is not in the best interest of the US, in my opinion.
Once this nuclear issue is resolved, they will force you to abandon your allies. Subsequently, they will exert pressure on you to restrict your missile range, among other things.
The conditions set by Iran cannot be labeled as 'surrender' -that would be unfair- but they certainly do not safeguard Iran's long-term interests. I can envision countless scenarios where the Americans could rationalize a future war based on these very terms if they chose to. Any agreement must guarantee that this conflict does not recur.

Unless Iran wants to make a bomb, what does it matter ?!?!?! What is the point of enriching if you are not going to make the bomb? How much is a point of "principle" worth? Currently - Iran has incurred $250billion dollars of damage so far, how much more?

They will agree then be attacked again. Rinse and repeat.
