@Mehmet_the_Eng @mehdizafar Khamenei did not pursue a nuclear weapon because Iran did not have an ICBM able to reach the US. Building a nuclear bomb that could not reach the US is pure suicide. The nuclear programme also faced numerous sabotage and setbacks, biggest being JCPOA which Khamenei was against

Khamenei was wrong, they don’t need to explicitly say he was wrong, that would have been disrespectful (since he is also a martyr now). He was wrong because he did not pursue a nuclear weapon but in the meantime he brought Iran close to developing one. That made US-Israel think that they can prevent it militarily and actually encouraged military aggression. You either go full nuclear, or you don’t do it at all. What is the point of developing %60 uranium and stopping there ? %60 uranium is not used anywhere, just make a nuke and test one. End of story. Now Iran is back to square one. Diluting or handing over %60 uranium seems like two options available (in return for lifting of sanctions).

This just proves how shallow your understanding is—of Iran, its politics, and the relationship between the Leader and IRGC. Go ahead: name one IRGC commander who has ever thought Ayatollah Khamenei was wrong. I'm genuinely baffled that Western media outlets take you seriously.

@DanielLear22083 @m4h007 @PatrickBashamDI In your dreams Daniel. Iran is self-sufficient in food and has a large agricultural sector. Iran exports food to many of the Persian Gulf Arab states.

@m4h007 @PatrickBashamDI Iran’s leverage over the Strait is a fantasy. Arleigh Burke destroyers occupy the lanes and mine sweeping is ongoing. Add to that no food shipments are coming in, and revenues are crashing, and the Regime will collapse. Food riots are an ugly thing.

Trump cannot make any real formal concessions to Iran. Here’s why: Based on the reporting so far, Iranian delegation had come to Islamabad with the view that Iran has won the war, and expected to get major concessions from Vance. They were surprised to find out that Vance isn’t willing to back off from Trump’s original maximalist demands. Even if Iran’s tactical and strategic wins become far bigger, Trump’s position won’t be different. First, this won’t be acceptable to Israel and its lobby. Trump will have to explicitly defy Netanyahu and Miriam Adelson, something he has not done. Nonetheless, let’s assume Trump made a formal agreement to concede any of Iran’s demands in its 10-point list. For the sake of argument, let’s assume Trump signs an agreement with Iran that A) Iran will not develop nuclear weapons B) Iran will suspend uranium enrichment for 5 years and after that only at or below 3.67% C) US accepts Iran’s sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz and a tolling system for 50 years as reparations for the war D) Iran will downblend its HEU to 3.67% This is the absolute best deal Trump can get from Iran, and even this is very doubtful, considering the significant leverage Iran has through the control of the Strait of Hormuz. Democrats and the media would immediately start attacking him for starting an unnecessary war, and giving advantages to Iran that it previously didn’t have. Explicitly, they will blame him for a deal that is objectively worse than JCPOA. Media will agree with them that this is worse than JCPOA. This will make him even more unpopular. He will be a weak president. An important observation to make is the multiple War Powers Resolutions that have come to the floor so far. They all instruct Trump to end the war and bring the American soldiers home. Most Democrats have voted for them and most Republicans have voted against. Democrats will use this fact against every Republican who voted against those War Powers Resolutions. They will use these votes in November and for the foreseeable future. Every Republican will be attacked for “Enabling a mentally impaired President to launch and continue an unnecessary war that ended up making more concessions than JCPOA to Mullahs and Terrorists in Iran.” Even if that member survives the November elections, this line will be hammered for as long as that member is in politics, not just for their re-election. Imagine a Congressman aspiring to become a Senator and the Senator with Presidential aspirations. Think about the countless times people had to recant and regret their vote for the Iraq war. Every one of these War Powers resolutions creates a paper trail that will come back for decades to come. This is why Democrats push the vote, not because they want to finish the war. Chris Murphy, vehemently anti-war before the war, immediately attacked Trump for accepting Iran’s demands as basis for negotiations. Chuck Schumer followed quickly. So, at that point, Trump is a weak president with no mandate left, and a Republican party ready to be picked apart by Democrats. 1-Nothing he signs is binding on the United States and can be undone by an act of Congress. An act that these Republicans will gladly join Democrats in voting for. Even if Trump ignores it, the next President can’t. 2- As soon as Democrats win November, they’ll use their power to go after Trump. They won’t be able to remove him through impeachment (needs 67 votes in the senate), but they can open investigations against him and his family. These can be used in 2028 to go after him and his family. Their results can also be used to attack Congressional Republicans. This is why Trump can’t sign a formal agreement that is acceptable to Iran. Every agreement to be signed needs to be materially worse than JCPOA for Iran, something Iran will not agree to.

@Dumbas61007425 @ArmsControlWonk The money JCPOA “gave” to Iran already belonged to Iran. It was stolen&frozen by the US. Fitting name, dumbass.

@ArmsControlWonk Keep repeating it, but it’s still not true Iran played Obama Iran wanted 3 things -Nukes -Ballastic missiles -Short range missiles as a shield JCPOA gave Iran the cash to build lots of missiles, in return for not building nukes for 10 yrs. So in 10-15 yrs, US paid for all 3😡

Iran did not have a stockpile of highly enriched uranium until after Trump withdrew from the JCPOA because Iran was prohibited from doing so and under monitoring, Trump is the arsonist taking credit for putting out the fire he started.

@afgmeh She called sanctions “chemotherapy”

This person is such a soulless ghoul that is a product of the same NGO warmongering machine that Pahlavi, FDD, Ben Shapiro, and Marc Levin are from.

@thefeistyman @MiddleEastInst @gonultol She called sanctions “chemotherapy” to remove the “cancer”

@MiddleEastInst @gonultol Right! The human rights activist who asked for inhumane sanctions and war on the Iranian people. Why is she still talking?

Actress and activist Nazanin Boniadi speaks candidly about human rights and the state's role in protecting them. On the latest episode of Rethinking Democracy, Boniadi joined @gonultol to discuss the future of Iran's pro-democracy movement. youtube.com/watch?v=lT7KtP…

@FraserNelson Fraser, Yazd was heavily bombed during the war but the launches from Yazd continued throughout. There are dozens of these impenetrable underground missile cities across Iran built to withstand such attacks. x.com/furkangozukara…

Interesting graphic (sent by an Iranian friend) explaining the resilience of a weapons programme designed to survive missile strikes.

@Poppy98979113 @FraserNelson These impenetrable underground missile cities exist and they’re spread out all across Iran. Photo is just an explainer. x.com/furkangozukara…

@FraserNelson His friend is Iranian, so that means it’s authentic Reminds me of the dumb underground diagram they published in the Time around the time of Iraq War. Bs

@Daralmalalin @mashabani @mashabani Mohammad, consider the threats from the US. Would they even blink if the trigger of weaponization was pulled? What do you think those civilisation threats were about? Building a weapon w/out FULL deterrence which includes an ICBM that can reach California is suicide.

@Daralmalalin @mashabani Yes despite the disaster that was barjam & other sabotages the knowledge has been kept alive. However the stars still have not aligned and there are still technological gaps. ICBM that can reach US West Coast needs to be developed before the trigger can be pulled.

Ali Khamenei's rationale makes no sense to FDD either. Many cannot fathom the depth of Khamenei's stubbornness and willingness to pay the price for nukes 10x over without actually building them.

@Daralmalalin @mashabani That already happened after JCPOA. 11,000kg of enriched uranium was moved out of Iran against the wishes of Khamenei and Fakhrizadeh.

@Human5g @mashabani Stupid take. If it was up to the people, the useless nuclear program would have been shelved at least 10 years ago.

@bendmn16 @icp_officiel @MahnazShirali @icp_officiel @MahnazShirali Nous attendons une réponse.

To @icp_officiel, Any comment on an incitement for assassination made by your lecturer Mahnaz Shirali (@MahnazShirali)? Would a call to “eliminate” USA or Israeli delegates in negotiations be treated acceptable and would the lecturer still keep her position in your Institute for this criminal act? Her post translation: “Dear Israel, if they [Iranian delegates] don’t surrender, please kill them on the way back.”

از امروز تا پایان عمرم، تمام پس‌اندازم را وقف ساخت بزرگ‌ترین و مدرن‌ترین مدرسه خاورمیانه در میناب می‌کنم؛ به یاد کودکان شهید میناب. تا این بنا، هم یاد آنان را جاودانه کند و هم خاری باشد در چشم هر کسی که خوشبختی و پیشرفت مردم ایران را برنمی‌تابد.

A lot of Jews have been openly supporting far right nativist for quite some time now, deal with the devil of sorts. Predictably, it has come back to bite. We’ve seen it in the US and now it’s happening in Britain and also France. Hate begets hate.

@JacoboFoSho @sysqo82 @AryJeayBackup @X @Support Much of the domestic internet in Iran is working. Foreign connections is down unless you have a VPN which Arya and many others have.

@Human5g @sysqo82 @AryJeayBackup @X @Support So he has Internet but the rest of the Iranian citizens do not? Thanks for proving he’s state sponsored

I got suspended without any reason. Please reinstate my account, I did not break any rules. @x @Support

@sysqo82 @AryJeayBackup @X @Support He’s using a VPN, do you know what that is? He was streaming live from Iran just the other day.

@Human5g @AryJeayBackup @X @Support is this why he uses VPN to hide his European connection? the dude is living in Germany

@sysqo82 @AryJeayBackup @X @Support He’s in Iran and has been sharing content from inside Iran since the war started, including live streaming

@AryJeayBackup @X @Support "no reason" other than being an IRGC stooge in Europe

@AaronBastani Aaron, the issue of Palestine and confronting the US empire in the region was a core pillar of the revolution. There is a saying in Iran that goes, what is the point of an Islamic republic if it can’t even defend Palestine/Lebanon.

Palestine mattered to the Islamic Republic because (a) it gave them prestige in the Arab street, and even plausible leadership in the region despite being a Shia Persian country (b) because they believed in it. The truth is, though, the political return has been a disaster.

@MazMHussain @BiruniKhorasan The issue of Palestine and confronting the US empire in the region was a core pillar of the revolution. There is a saying in Iran that goes, what is the point of an Islamic republic if it can’t defend Palestine/Lebanon.

@BiruniKhorasan The ironic thing is that if they hadn’t insisted on taking on this issue the entire Middle East would otherwise be firmly in hand and they would have normalized with the world economy yeas ago. They just chose to continue fighting Israel on ideological principle.

Iran needs to drop the Palestinian cause for good: if they support it, they get trashed for not being honest. If they don’t, they get trashed for not showing interest. Lose-lose situation. This is clearly an Arab issue and Arabs need to play a prominent role in solving it.
