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

Tomorrow will be first time since 2001 than first meeting of American administration to China president it will be in Chinese soil. And 2001 meeting was in clear USA superiority with China buying the nonsense bullshit American narrative of 911 self attacks.

It's a clear sign of USA declining as superpower and China ascending to superpower status, with this pathetic USA submission.

It's a thing clearly seen in last Trump international meetings, because the dumbfuck loves to humiliate weaker people like Macron, but Trump never dared to humiliate Xi with stupid hands salutations games.

It's not a innocent thing, it establish a world hierarchy. USA is dropping Europe to please China.
We saw in Ukraine war, giving all the Russia market and energy from EU to China, an amazing gift that it fits perfectly with 2015 Soros article "A partnership with China to avoid world war"

So tomorrow it's to expect more gifts from the declining pathetic USA to the new world superpower China.

So far, 8 US C817 airplanes have arrived in Beijing. Trump is all hyped up. China is little uneasy and embarrassed.

what you say sure makes sense if we look at what was going on. But it could also be a great Deception. Who knows if the Saudi's were actually helpless in all this since they dont/cant control the americans from listening to them....just like how they allowed Doha to be struck by Israel....

I believe that. I believe in what Trita Parsi says and he said 'most Gulf countries did not want this attack on Iran'.
Why would they? Look at where they are now. Some, considered very stable and prosperous, face set back decades if this war drags on or escalates. At this point, only the UAE with possible addition of Bahrain, who are pro war against Iran.

Its obvious what the instructions for IRGC will be.

UAE military installations, oil installations and affiliated oil tankers will be fair game.

The Emiratis playing right into the Zionists playbook.

UAE is ruining itself. Many imports delayed, property market went down dramatically.

What were they thinking? Do they think Iran will not be able to flatten them if it came to it?

CBS, whose owner Larry Ellison is the biggest donor to the Israeli Occupation Forces, and editor-in-chief Bari Weiss is an ardent pro-Israel voice has reported that Pakistan is playing double game by shielding Iranian military aircraft.

The report then drifts to "reveal" how Pakistan is growing closer to China. This report came in conjunction with another saying Pakistan often "does not convey Trump's displeasure to Iran" and "tends to paint positive picture of negotiations."

It is not for Pakistan to convey Trump's displeasure or present a candid view of Iranian positions. Pakistan just conveys messages. The task of interpretation and gleaning the other party's thinking belongs to the concerned parties themselves, who are not new to negotiations and have already met to get a better sense of each other's perspective.

The sleight here is familiar and much easier to grasp if viewed alongside Netanyahu's mild reference to Pakistan in his recent CBS 60 Minutes interview, where he blames social media for driving a wedge between Israel and the US. After failing to force Saudi Arabia into the war despite concerted false reporting about Saudi's role, the backup plan of blemishing the mediator has been activated. They also cannot outright bomb mediator like Pakistan as they did with Qatar.

The aim behind this sabotage is not hard to guess. The MAGA core is split on war, with the anti-war camp led by Tucker, Fuentes, and Kelly holding a decisive edge over the pro war camp. The pro war intelligentsia in DC increasingly sees where Netanyahu's war has led the US. There is no better example than Robert Kagan in The Atlantic. And perhaps biggest of all, Trump himself is unwilling to be dragged any further, best shown by his indefinite ceasefire extension and backing of Saudi and Pakistani efforts to help restore some sort of status quo ante bellum.

Not only has Netanyahu's regime change bet failed and Iran increasingly emerged as the ultimate arbiter of power in the Middle East, but his chances of going to jail have multiplied with looming defeat in approaching Israeli elections. So this current, and near future, media cacophony against Pakistan has to be viewed in its right context.

US officials now accusing Pakistan being as "mediator" but helping in shielding few remaining Iranian aircrafts

Pakistan allowed Iran to park military aircraft on its airfields despite mediator role in conflict with U.S.

The effort potentially shielded Iranian aircraft from American airstrikes, according to U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter.

www.cbsnews.com

Pakistan's Dawn is also reporting this as a news where Pakistani officials are clarifying/rebutting this. Apparently, CBS new boss is another Israel-firster: Hidden in plain sight, working for a foreign country against America's own interests. The new boss didn't take long to target Pakistan.

UAE is ruining itself. Many imports delayed, property market went down dramatically.
What were they thinking? Do they think Iran will not be able to flatten them if it came to it?

They are not 'thinking': They are on a path to National Suicide! Aligning with Israel against the likes of Iran, Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia!

Could you give us an insight about the visit of Trump to China?.

I am eager to know what the Chinese thinks about Donald Trump's visit specially his real interests. He goes in his worst position ever.

Here are my unsolicited two cents...
Orange will try to make a splash short of any real leverage to compel China. As for China, it couldn't be any better... they avoided getting in a conflict where now both Russia and US are tied up. US has been financially and militarily drained in past two decades largely grace a zion... so if orange ruptures it publicly with China to get a response... it is because he's cornered.

Pen, or in this case, a keyboard, can indeed be mightier than a sword! Add to those names, the name of Marjorie Taylor Green (MTG): They are relentlessly attacking Israel and that is extremely unsettling for the pro-Israel crowd in America because those names once represented pro Trump, pro Israel voices and are putting doubts in even MAGA's minds about this war and about Israel itself.

Post in thread 'Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds'

May 11, 2026

This angled news by CBS is misleading with input of the officials in knowledge of the process and facts:

The parking of few Iranian aircrafts at Nur Khan Airbase, has been blown out of proportion by certain detractors of regional and global peace.

After the ceasefire and during the first round of Islamabad Talks, numerous aircrafts, both from the US and Iran, came to Pakistan for conveyance of staff and security details and remained parked at Nur Khan Airbase

Few Iranian aircrafts and some staff members stayed back after the first round of talks, in...

Hardly worth our officials responding to this ridiculous nothing burger story being spread by none other than our desperate gangetic friends to the east. It's very amateurish of them to claim "double game saaar by duplicitous Pakistan!!" over the simple parking of assets.

I'm curious what their opinion of the innocent parking of UNARMED Iranian naval assets later torpedoed by the USN might be in this context. Perhaps they should further elucidate their thoughts to their ancient civilisational allies.

On a side note, why Tel Aviv thinks they can even get anything remotely helpful out of the nation of 1.6 billion Bollywood superstars is beyond me.

Yes.

Since March, Trump has repeatedly announced this matter publicly. However, it was not until yesterday that the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs formally announced it.

Based on the current situation, I do not think a satisfactory agreement can be reached. In particular, Trump often violates signed agreements. For example, in October 2025, China and the U.S. reached an agreement in South Korea, but Trump did not implement it, and China did not purchase American soybeans.

We have never seen such an unconventional foreign leader, and we need to face uncertainty and unexpected events.

I am more looking forward to Putin's visit after Trump leaves. Over 25 years, Putin has visited China 23 times, and this year will be the 24th time. There are reports that Putin plans to visit China on May 18.

We prefer visitors with stable personalities, and we prefer to reach trustworthy agreements.

No more than cannon fodders. The Israeli manpower for war is under a lot of stress. If Russia could get 5000 soldiers against Ukraine then India could supply manpower to Israel--not beyond Modi.

This article is going viral and from no other than Robert Kagan! It is beyond a paywall though. Here is what I could grab.

Checkmate in Iran

Washington can’t reverse or control the consequences of losing this war.

www.theatlantic.com

It’s hard to think of a time when the United States suffered a total defeat in a conflict, a setback so decisive that the strategic loss could be neither repaired nor ignored. The calamitous losses suffered at Pearl Harbor, the Philippines, and throughout the Western Pacific in the first months of World War II were eventually reversed. The defeats in Vietnam and Afghanistan were costly but did not do lasting damage to America’s overall position in the world, because they were far from the main theaters of global competition. The initial failure in Iraq was mitigated by a shift in strategy that ultimately left Iraq relatively stable and unthreatening to its neighbors and kept the United States dominant in the region.

Defeat in the present confrontation with Iran will be of an entirely different character. It can neither be repaired nor ignored. There will be no return to the status quo ante, no ultimate American triumph that will undo or overcome the harm done. The Strait of Hormuz will not be “open,” as it once was. With control of the strait, Iran emerges as the key player in the region and one of the key players in the world. The roles of China and Russia, as Iran’s allies, are strengthened; the role of the United States, substantially diminished. Far from demonstrating American prowess, as supporters of the war have repeatedly claimed, the conflict has revealed an America that is unreliable and incapable of finishing what it started. That is going to set off a chain reaction around the world as friends and foes adjust to America’s failure.
