Its the main headline right now.

Report saying 80% ships are using Omani route in US naval protection and ignoring Iran warnings.

Its hard to believe, its a choke point and Iran is all around it. Iran can fire from anywhere. Also its hard to believe that US navy is that close to Iran giving protection to shipping. Maybe Iran is signaling its willing to restart talks ?

Turkey is willing to give its S-400 away to get F-35.

Problem is Israel will not allow Turkey to ever get F-35 again. Turkey should have taken its chance when it had it, but Erdogan set the country back with his stupid policies.

The only thing Turkey has left is its own TFX 5th gen program, but that is heavily supplied by western components and will sabotaged somehow by Mossad.

Israel has Turkey in its sights and only matter of time till they start the propaganda against Turkey.

As long as Erdogan the hypocrite keeps supplying cheap Baku Oil to Israil and carries on the massive trade with them, Turkey is not in danger.

This jewlaninand his gang of "mujhaideen" turned out to be such a simps, what a pathetic creature lol

If there is a Alwaite, Houthi, or Shiite in power in a country, these Sunni Arabs will move the earth to wage jihad and overthrow these “heretics”.

How many came from around the world to fight Bashaar? 250K? 500k? How many died? 100K+

Now how many will defend the Syria they occupy from Israel? 0! Jew-lani went from head chopping terrorist Jihadist to suit wearing President of peace and tranquility and pacifism….unless it’s against minorities of course.

Sunni Arab leaders think the White man will accept them if they bow to Israel. Completely delusional.

Erdogan isn’t even in charge of Turkey anymore. He is a frail old man who has to read word for word off a teleprompter. He looks like he is suffering from dementia and cognitive decline.

He’s a figure head at this point.

How much of a role do you think these 'reformists' played in the MoU?

A lot. It’s like asking how much role do democrats have in US policies.

The reformists have say in the system and it’s not as conservative dominated as people assume. Israel is far more right wing and ultra nationalist than Iran is believe it or not.

Iran is filled with these individuals who want nothing more than to be banana countries of the West like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan. They argue behind closed doors that resistance is futile and we just give up to America and they will accept us (delusional).

It would be fair to assume that the MoU was agreed by whoever or whatever is calling the shots in Iran.

That’s not how Iran works. Iran is like a puzzle of factions. Each with its own power center and influence. When Khamenai was alive he played the factions off each other while making sure no one got more powerful than him, it was a delicate balancing act and it worked because he was only the 2nd Supreme Leader.

Right now there are power vacuums and some factions want to influence the outcome to enrich themselves and their faction at the expense of the nation (much like Trump is doing in his 2nd term with his cronies).

Iran going back 150+ years has had these treacherous reformist factions and pragmatist factions under different names and ideals but the ultimate goal is the same: surrender the country to the greater powers and be able to get Paid to be their lackey.

The only ones who know what's really going on in the smoke-filled backrooms are the ones who are in the rooms.

Everyone else is merely speculating.
