Iranian President Pezeshkian's close ally Zarif reveals Iranian proposal to end the war:
- IRAN STEPS FOLLOWING THE END OF THE HOSTILITIES
1- Commit never to seek nuclear weapons
2- Down-blend enriched uranium to below 3.67 percent
3- Ratify the IAEA Additional Protocol for permanent monitoring
4- Ensure safe commercial passage through the Strait of Hormuz, with Oman
5- Sign a permanent nonaggression pact with the United States
6- Participate in a regional security framework
7- Transfer enriched uranium and related equipment to a regional enrichment consortium
8- Remove terrorism-related designations on the United States
9- Restore diplomatic/consular channels
10- Remove travel restrictions on U.S. citizens
11- Invite oil companies, including American ones, to help facilitate exports
12- China, Russia, and possibly regional states may serve as guarantors of the agreement.
- THE US STEPS:
1-Remove unilateral U.S. sanctions on Iran
2-Allow Iran to export oil freely and repatriate the proceeds
3- Accept that Iran will retain some non-weapons-level nuclear program rather than demand zero enrichment
4- Terminate UN Security Council resolutions against Iran
5- Allow Iran to participate normally in global supply chains
6- Sign a permanent nonaggression pact with Iran
6- Finance reconstruction in Iran
7- Compensate Iranian civilians for losses
8- Participate in a regional security framework
9- Help create the regional enrichment consortium
10- Remove terrorism-related designations on Iran
11-- Restore diplomatic/consular channels with Iran
12- Remove travel restrictions on Iranian citizens
13- Cooperate on trade, energy, and technology projects

@zeantoniolima @hxhassan You need a part 2 to reflect the latest war.
English

I’m convinced most officials & specialists are too immersed in the moment to realize a certain basic fact about why Iran is striking the Gulf.
When Iran was fighting in Syria & Iraq, its field commanders & their proxies (and their ecosystems in countries of Iranian influence) always promised that the next battle would be in the Gulf. This was conveyed, explicitly or otherwise, by Qassem Soleimani and allies like Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, Hassan Nasrallah and the Assad regime. It was part of a doctrine guiding Iran’s regional strategy, not mere passing comments.
(The same language that Israel began using against regional countries only recently. “Qatar is next” or “Turkey is the new Iran” etc. Iran has used that language for many years.)
Now, Gulf countries look at Iran and wonder: Why is Iran hitting us when we tried to talk Trump out of striking it? Iran knows we tried our best. Iran’s action is understandable if it targeted the UAE and Saudi Arabia, but why mediators like Qatar? Yes we have US bases, yes we can scream at the US, but it still makes little sense, even from a basic divide-and-conquer strategy.
But Iran sees this war as having begun at least a decade or so ago, and the Gulf states played a vital role in getting Iran to where it is today. The Gulf is the problem, not just Israel or the US. Strategically reckless, but that is the plain IRGC logic. This is clear if those officials had followed the rhetoric over the last 1-2 decades and the nitty-gritty behavior of Iran on a ground level outside Iran.

@hxhassan Unfortunately, the thesis is in Portuguese, but in 2024 I wrote a text trying to bring together some of my conclusions. A Syrian friend kindly translated it into Arabic. If you are interested in a South American perspective, here is the link. All the best tarkiz.substack.com/p/war-middle-e…

@hxhassan ... put the last two decades among the most violent in the region. Three countries were devastated, hundreds of thousands (perhaps more) died, and millions were affected.

@Alacir Pois é a conclusão parecida que muitos iranianos opositores do regime estão chegando. Se puder dê uma lida depois: tarkiz.substack.com/p/o-custo-da-l…

@zeantoniolima Teria a certeza de que ninguém do exterior vem pra "me salvar", menos ainda com bombas arrasando a infraestrutura do país, matando pessoas. Eu teria que lidar com: um governo ainda mais repressivo; ou a anomia e caos de uma queda forçada por fora, vide Líbia.
Português

Neste novo texto de Tarkiz, menciono alguns desses dilemas morais e pragmáticos impostos aos iranianos da oposição. Odeiam o regime, mas a guerra imposta por EUA e Israel não tem qualquer intenção de melhorar a vida dos iranianos.

@zeantoniolima Vou sim... já tentou também ter uma conta na rede co-irmã? Muita gente migrou pra lá.

Investigação da @AmnestyMENA confirmou as apurações realizadas por diversos veículos de imprensa que apontam para o governo dos Estados Unidos como responsável pelo ataque à escola Shajareh Tayyebeh, em Minab, cidade no sul do Irã, que matou quase duas centenas de crianças.

@willian_1975 Não recebi nenhum aviso, mas os tweets simplesmente não tinham circulação nenhuma. Continua com esse problema, mas vou tentar furar, vamos ver. Obrigado de novo! E se puder ajudar a divulgar a Tarkiz, agradeço demais tarkiz.substack.com

@zeantoniolima Teve isso é? Que merda. Mas você é especialista da região, excelente poder me informar com você.

@willian_1975 Opa, obrigado. Tentando reativar a conta após o apagamento sofrido por conta dos tweets sobre a ação de Israel na Faixa de Gaza.
