“Therefore, two major Countries that people speak of often in terms of Iran are, in my opinion, not participating,” Trump said on his Truth Social network. “If they did, it would be very bad for them — Certainly not in their best interests.”
Trump’s comment on Truth Social comes amid reports that Washington is investigating whether Moscow and Beijing are giving Iran targeting information, following a series of strikes on US bases.
The US leader said Chinese president Xi had told him when they met in Beijing in May that he would not arm Iran under any circumstances, adding: “considering our relationship, I take him at his word.”
Trump added that Putin had made a similar promise despite the war in Ukraine.
“He understands that I do not sell Weapons to Ukraine, but to NATO Countries. They pay full price, and how those Weapons are distributed, I have no idea,” Trump said.
Trump has frequently taken a more deferential tone toward Xi and Putin than he has toward Washington’s own allies, saying that they must be respected as the leaders of major world powers.

That is not true. No one wants chaos. Chinese oil imports were 30 million barrels in June. The US is hollowed out and does not produce anything. The entire reason for the Iran war is to strangle China and attack Russia through their Southern Flank. You think after Venezuela, the Chinese want to cozy up to the Saudis and dump Iran?
China,Russia, and Iran are strategic partners. The Chinese and the Russians want Iran to bleed the US. You will learn soon enough .

For that, Iran would first need to have a military to sell. Don't worry though, General Yahya Rahim Safavi has you covered.

Jokes aside, you've been granted a reasonable amount of hospitality, geopolitically and on this forum. Best for yourself to not let it run out. This is not an Iranian setting where your auto-stimulation will be cheered on at the expense of others, least of all Pakistan. We've had plenty of practice with our just as delusional neighbors on the other side.
You to know your place and remain within it, vis-a-vis Pakistan, especially on this forum. Whatever fantasies you've conjured about yourself as coping mechanisms, no one else shares or cares for them.
Better to ask those Iranians who are not insecure, immature, or dishonest enough to be ungrateful.
“On this blessed, divine, and spiritual day and hour, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the government and people of Pakistan for their full-throated expression of solidarity and support with the people and government of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the face of the aggression by America and the Zionist regime.”

Good points. I don't think anyone suggests that China is in love with Iranians or cheering them from afar. China is making it's own geopolitical calculations against a West that is very aggressive against it and openly talking about future military conflict with it.

Contrary to what many here think, the Arab countries--almost all of them--didn't want this war. Why would they?! The gravy train of the Petro Dollar was good not only for the West but also for the Arab countries: Hundreds of millions of people were pulled out of poverty, living standards improved, peace mostly prevailed, literacy improved--directly and indirectly in many countries. And now the decades of gains are at a risk. BUT... rich Arab countries do have their own Samson Option: They can threaten the Petro Dollar, a threat which is extremely damaging to only them but also the Americans. It is not a small leverage should they decide to go that route. And I think they should!

Agreed. It's embarrassing and gives precedent that previous Iranian lives lost never mattered! Stop talking and walk the walk already.

☢ It appears that if the Americans attack the Kolang Mountain (Pickaxe) Nuclear facility, there will be surprises regarding our nuclear doctrine. These remarks were made just moments ago by the Strategic Adviser to the Speaker of Parliament during an interview with channel 6 of IRIB.

Then what? Whatever economic damage it would unleash would be worse on poorer countries, including Iran, than those bastards with their trillions upon trillions sitting thousands of kilometers away. They will build themselves back again.
If there is an iota of sense left on either side, this will end on a table, sooner rather than later.

Why do we have to wait for them to attack? In what world does a warring nation wait for the other side to attack? Do the blockheads in charge think this is the era of 18th century gentlemen wars?

Hmmmm. I believe every time Netanyahu comes to Washington, he pressures Trump into even more aggressive actions on Iran. Netanyahu and Trump have an unusual chemistry between them despite Trump's sometimes ranting about Netanyahu. This war would not have happened had the two devils were not in power at the same time in their respective countries.
This is a personal war!

They probably already shifted the infrastructure under pickaxe to another underground facility.
Whats fascinating to me is that all these deranged ideas are first proposed by israeli news papers before trump adopts them in practice, like counter blockade and now the pickaxe mountain.
I wonder does the president of the united stated of America not have any authority to act on his own anymore rather than acting on whims of jews?
