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

[Immortals]

Oh I believe before or even when voting starts is a definite possibility but I’m 50/50 before Israel’s elections unless the Iranians take the bait the Israelis are trying to give them with those planes flying near Irans border night

I know it sounds weak that Iran does not pre emptively strike US even though they know attack is upcoming

I think maybe Rus/China is giving Iran advice to play the victim role so that western population opinions remain positive about Iran

Plus pre emptively striking US bases or hard targets is not going to do much damage unless Iran wants to escalate and cut internet cables and hit oil infrastructure

If Iran wipes out the energy infrastructure in the region and collapses many countries, it should have a very good reason and that is indeed if Iran gets attacked first and not by an preemptive attack from Iranian side. The world will understand Irans reaction and public opinion will not be against Iran, but against the enemies of Iran.

Pakistan and Türkiye are independent sovereign states that will do what is in their national interests. This is not Pakistan and Türkiye's fight, this is Iran's. Iran choice to resist(whatever that means to Iran). To equate countries following their interests, as Iran's follows it's own Iran's own (!) as being lapdogs of the USA is quite inappropriate.

Why should the economies, the people of either Pakistan and Türkiye suffer the consequences ire because of the decisions Iran makes? (Equally, why should Pakistan and Türkiye suffer the decision that the USA makes). Everyone is trying their best to make the best decisions to navigate this shitty scenario that neither Pakistan and Türkiye planned for or wanted...

To be honest Pakistan isn't doing great even now, topping the charts in terrorism, poverty. The wish to align with this US, nominating Trump for Noble, is more of a personal need of the current ruling elite. Nothing to do with Pakistan's interests.
