IRANIAN TELEVISION ABOUT SENIOR IRANIAN LEADERS: TRUMP IS A LIAR AND NO NEGOTIATIONS TOOK PLACE. TRUMP WAS JUST HUMILIATED AND BACKED DOWN FROM BOMBING IRANIAN ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE DUE TO FEAR OF A DECISIVE IRANIAN RESPONSE

This is so strange. The US and Israel already threw the whole book at Iran. Why would Iran now be shit scared of blows it has already absorbed? They landed their best punch. It failed. Why would Iran be afraid now? (As opposed to ex ante. This radical uncertainty is an imp reason why threats are more useful than action.) “This attitude may prove to be a dangerous misreading of President Trump’s determination, or of Israel’s capacity to inflict strategic blows on the Islamic Republic’s surviving leadership and military capabilities.”
