Iran NEEDS to understand that the Strait of Hormuz is NOT a substitute for Nuclear Weapons.

The Strait is just a DEFENSIVE mechanism.
It does NOT prevent you from being ATTACKED.

It's NOT a viable deterrent.

UNTIL the Iranians realise this, US and the GENOCIDAL state of ILLsrael will CONTINUE to attack them WHENEVER they want.

They can cook up a FLIMSY reason to attack Iran and get away with it.

North Korea is SMALLER than Iran.
They have a SMALLER population.
They are POORER than Iran.

Yet NOBODY born of a woman DARES to attack them anyhow or ASSASSINATE their Leaders and expect them to negotiate.

Meanwhile, their government is even more DRACONIAN than the one in Iran.

Iran NEEDS sense!

You nailed it. Iranian leaders for their mind still think the strait is a nuclear option for them. I dey SMH for them. America is using this tit for tat attack to continue its strike and military objectives stylishly.

Trump reportedly caught Iran off guard last year by launching attacks during ongoing negotiations, he repeated a similar approach in late February this year. He appeared to do so again by proposing a ceasefire, which was later used as leverage to blockade an Iranian port.

One thing I have come to understand is that Trump is driven strongly by ego and wants to emerge from this conflict as the sole winner. In my view, he is still in the process of deceiving Iran. Sanctions can be imposed rapidly, but if Iran agrees to dilute its highly enriched uranium (HEU) or transfer it to the United States, it could take years for the country to restore its enrichment capacity.

Make Iran dey mumu there.

LordAdam16:
both reports have an element of truth to it

---

the nyt report clearly said iran made a commitment to give up its enriched uranium
but that the details are unclear

prior to the war, the understanding has been that iran would down blend the highly enriched uranium (heu)
on the eve of the war, iran even offered to treat the downblended uranium so the down blending is irreversible (that is, the downblended low enriched uranium can not be enriched to heu again if iran changes its mind, say after the deal is broken)

when you down blend the heu
you do not have a stock of heu
that is practically giving it up

what the epstein 🤡🤡 have been asking for
is that the downblending and further treatment is not good enough
that iran has to transfer, hand over all the heu directly to the us

iran retorted that their red line is that the heu will remain in iran
they've not really said anything about downblending since the war started
larijani briefly floated/accepted putin's offer for the transfer of some (or all?) of the heu to russia
but it is unclear if that was exclusively made prior to the war or made again during the war before he was assassinated
either way, khamenei ii shut it down

---

the tasnim report is also true
because the persians have not made any formal commitments on the nuclear issue

this is semantic

like when they exchange messages and claim it is not negotiations

in conversations with persian officials, the pakistanis and qataris do fish around for signals of what their hard red lines are and where they may be willing to compromise on the nuclear issue

it is these signals that are reported as iran agreed or made a commitment to "x"

but it really doesn't mean much
ghalibaf or pezeshkian or araghchi might say in confidence that they could see iran accepting x, y, z
but when such proposal is put in front of all the power brokers, there is no consensus for it

also
formally, the nuclear file will be negotiated in the second stage so there can be no formal commitments beforehand
informally, the mediators are trying to establish oral/verbal commitments on what the markers/guardrails of the nuclear negotiations will be

---

the more important factoid though

is that the us does not have any credibility in tehran

persia only takes these exchanges serious because the heavyweights in the region are heavily invested in preventing further destruction to oil/gas, desalination facilities and an economic downturn

persia also is uninterested in feeding concessions while the americans barely budge on the issues that matter
compensation, toll, sanctions, frozen funds, departure from the region

and this is ultimately why i believe an mou now is premature
you cannot offer them a pressure-release valve the first time the sh*t starts to really bite them
when they thought they had time they imposed a blockade and launched project freedom

you have to make them sweat more

what if they use the next 60 days to get more oil flowing
and halt the collapse of inventories
then in august they launch a severe attack
at that point the clock will restart and iran will have lost cumulative pressure of the last 70 days

also, persia has to insist on them removing more sanctions and unfreezing a lot of their funds before the mou is signed
that is the only thing they can hold in hand
the evil 🤡🤡 will walk back any promise and commitment once the oil start flowing

Trump will fool this people again their eyes go clear this time. Iran na mumu.

⚡NATO is discussing a possible mission to help protect ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz if the waterway remains blocked into July.

The proposal reportedly has backing from several NATO members but not yet unanimous support.

Iran should continue mining the Strait to make any demining effort extremely difficult and costly. I also don’t think an escort strategy would work. How many ships can NATO realistically escort 24/7 without being drawn directly into the war?

⚡The Trump administration is considering military action against Cuba after months of economic pressure failed to force reforms in Havana.

Officials say the White House is frustrated that sanctions, fuel restrictions, and diplomatic pressure have not weakened the Cuban government enough to bring change.

Military options range from limited airstrikes to broader operations aimed at destabilizing the regime. U.S. Southern Command has reportedly begun drafting contingency plans, though no decision has been made.

The sub plot is that they are at loggerheads with their brother nation(UAE) too as theyr are supporting different factions in the Sudan and Libya wars

Which military might Saudi Arabia get?

He hasn't learned his lessons. Military solution won't solve this. His ego and arrogance won't allow him reach a mutual concessions with Iran. You want a total surrender from a country that stood against you and Israel and retaliated ferrociously.

I have been asked by the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, and the President of the United Arab Emirates, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to hold off on our planned Military attack of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which was scheduled for tomorrow, in that serious negotiations are now taking place, and that, in their opinion, as Great Leaders and Allies, a Deal will be made, which will be very acceptable to the United States of America, as well as all Countries in the Middle East, and beyond.

This Deal will include, importantly, NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR IRAN! Based on my respect for the above mentioned Leaders, I have instructed Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, The Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Daniel Caine, and The United States Military, that we will NOT be doing the scheduled attack of Iran tomorrow, but have further instructed them to be prepared to go forward with a full, large scale assault of Iran, on a moment’s notice, in the event that an acceptable Deal is not reached.

Trump admires the likes of Vladimir Putin of Russia, xi jinping of china and Kim of north Korea so much that he will rather sell US allies to these countries than doing the needful

He does not even have to sell any of US allies. America won't confront these nuclear armed states you just mentioned for any ally.

Trump is indirectly telling Taiwan we won't come to your aid if you declare independence and China invades. America has learned from Iran.

Above 80 years is a celebration of life. Eat, drink and merry as much as possible. If e easy, reach the age first. Anything under is a solemn occasion. Must you starve attendees because somebody died young? Funerals should be like weddings — do according to your pocket.

All these celebration of life whatever na nonsense. A funeral should be a place of solemnity a place where people should think about the vanity of life and the essence of living life with purpose and doing good deeds. It doesn't matter how old the deceased is even if he is 500 years it does not call for merriment. This is why I love the Muslims they don't have time for all these nonsense.

It's absurd to me.
