Israel may want to end it in a week, it will be interesting if Iran will end it then or carry on for a while to establish its own new norm.

I guess it all depends what may or may not happen in a couple of days

Putin makes Iran-Israeli mediation pitch in call with UAE president​

The leaders of Russia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) warn of “extremely negative consequences” from the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, as Russian President Vladimir Putin pushes himself as a possible mediator, AFP reports.

In a phone call with UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, Putin “confirmed Russia’s readiness to provide mediation assistance to promote dialogue between the parties to the conflict”, the Kremlin said in a statement.

The two leaders “expressed deep concern over the continuing escalation of the Iranian-Israeli conflict, which could have extremely negative consequences for the entire region”, Moscow added.

I also believe that hezbollah isn’t as degraded as we think. Obviously they have taken huge blows. But they are alive. They will be activated if necessary, not because they want to, but they have to. If Iran falls, they can say goodbye to entire Lebanon, Israel doesn’t even need to invade, they will use jewlani to slaughter all the Shias in Lebanon

they probably enter into war if USA directly enter into war

Wait a minute,what is the problem here? Are we not to talk about what's fake or not? Or is that for another thread? If it's for another thread,ok. Delete it anyway.

Iran and Qatar have close relations. Iran should have learned form Qatar immediately.

From day 1 of this war I am wondering why red flags were not immediately raised in Iran regarding the Indians. I hope lessons are learned this time.

As I said multiple times in the India-Pakistan conflict thread: Indian workforce should be as thoroughly kicked out of the Middle East as possible and replaced with Pakistanis, Bangladeshi.. anyone but Indians. There is potential of tens of billions of $ for Pakistan via remittances if that happens, which would be a game changer for Pakistan's economy. And, yes, Pakistan has too much surplus labor to worry about 'brain drain'. Most poor countries of the world may complain about 'brain drain' but don't mind getting the $$ AND fresh discourse/tech from their expats.

They've already said "goodbye to entire Lebanon", and they're no longer interested in aligning themselves with Iran again.

Even if Iran asks, their request will be turned down.

if there is no peace in iran then there would be no peace in middle east

How has it been degraded? And why does it take years?

Hi

Firstly it is important to state what the Israelis and Americans are doing is NOT to degrade the Iranian Nuclear program, it is to carry out a forced regieme change.

But since you asked the question allow me to help




As you can see from the above timeline which I have created sorry its a little long xD... Iran has worked really hard to develop its nuclear program which is largely peaceful but you will seen that it has taken 10 years for Iran to spin enough centrifuges to get its 20% enriched uranium to 60% uranium. For reference 90% purity enriched Uranium is what is required for the development of nuclear weapons.


What the Israelis are trying to do by targeting Iranian nuclear sites is to destroy those centrifuges that purify Iran's uranium, doing so will set Iran's nuclear program back decades.

Iran's current Enrichment stockpiles:


How long would it take for Iran to develop a weapon (IN THEORY)

Note: Data is from the latest International Atomic Energy Agency monitoring report for each each year and is current as of May 17, 2025. Values represent production of enriched uranium material. Building a nuclear weapon would require more time before it was viable.

5 F-35s now.

Man, this is really nonsense. Iran doesn't have the capability to shoot them down. If they did, they would show some wreckage.

Good Post.
As much as I hate Trump and think he is the biggest supporter of Israel EVER as President, he does have some considerations: A chunk of his MAGA base is not pleased with yet American war for anyone; people like Steve Bannon are hard to ignore, if you follow American policies. I used to hate that guy but got to say he's an old school conservative who is indeed America First unlike almost all the Republicans sitting in the Congress acting as the Yes Men of Trump.
Plus one more reason for not a direct involvement by Americans against Iran may indeed be the fear that it would engulf the Middle East in a larger war, destroying much of the global economy with inevitable backlash against Trump in America. Why do that just for a sicko like Netanyahu?

Hmm .. I've always noticed that the people living in the US think of Trump in absolute terms, far lot more than the people outside. The ones outside mostly feel he just makes decisions at random or at whim. Maybe seeing his impact first hand, while living in the US, makes a difference in the perception. For example, whereas you think of him as 'biggest supporter of Israel', most of the people elsewhere feel he is just gonna go with what he's feeling about Nethanyahu at any given moment.

But yes, the whole thing about the economy and its impact makes a lot of sense. Well analyzed.

Overhype from state TV but we did launch a substantial attack which was impressive

How many missiles launched day by day?

Anyone keeping the statistics?
