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

[Master Chief]

I agree.

We can only hope for the best. They are improving their response, and I hope they are doing their best. We just have to trust the journey and hope for a positive outcome. Praying for Iranian soldiers and will stand with them in these hard times.

I'm not so sure. Iran needed to have wrapped this up long ago.

Ultimately, they were forced into this war on Israel's terms. Israel quietly achieved its objectives while Iran dithered and put too much faith in reckless militias. These are emotionally driven, rather than pragmatic, decisions. Iran could have spent a few decades quietly building and scheming against its enemies - I can picture a timeline where Iran could have easily been as economically strong and self sufficient as China, having nurtured its educated class further and having quietly tested its nukes a decade ago. Instead, we are where we are, an endless stalemate akin to a medieval besiegement.

the problem is not the order of the events, the problem is false threats and still lacking the will to build the bomb

Tehran will be nuked and IRI will say 'if they nuke Esfahan we might leave the NPT!'

Well , We should have leaved NPT when they first send our case to UNSC in past decades and only negotiate to return to NPT if they remove all threats and sanctions .... The late Khamenei really shot us in the knee with his useless and anti-islamic and anit-nationalist Fatwa ...
