As of April 2026, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has experienced a significant surge in popularity on social media, with some users calling him "the most loved person on the internet" following his public appearances and defiant diplomacy during the 2026 Iran-US conflict.


His popularity contrasts with the situation of other Iranian leaders:

Supreme Leader: Following the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in February 2026, his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, was appointed Supreme Leader on March 8, 2026. Reports indicate Mojtaba is an unpopular figure, facing mockery from social media users and chants of "Death to Mojtaba" from protesters.

President: Masoud Pezeshkian, who took office in July 2024, has faced criticism from conservatives at home and was relatively overshadowed during the initial 2026 conflict, with some observers noting his limited power in the face of the Supreme Leader and the Revolutionary Guard (IRGC).

Foreign Minister: Abbas Araghchi, acting as the prominent face of Iranian resistance, gained attention for his calm, composed, and "vocal" style, appearing in public without security, which has resonated with many Iranians.

Popularity Context
Abbas Araghchi (Foreign Minister): Gained high public support as a "voice of reason" and a "strategic diplomat" in a time of crisis.

Mojtaba Khamenei (Supreme Leader): Inherited a deeply divided nation, with many viewing his appointment as a move toward a despised hereditary, rather than revolutionary, system.

Masoud Pezeshkian (President): His popularity is limited by his reputation as a, partly, ceremonial figure in a system controlled by the Supreme Leader and the Revolutionary Guard (IRGC).


While online popularity does not directly equate to political power in Iran's theocratic structure, Araghchi's public approval in early 2026 was markedly higher than that of the new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, according to reported sentiment, public protests, and social media activity.

Mattswaggz:
So now you're trying to moderate your statement.... weren't you being all like it would be a walk in the park?. .

Of course it's not impossible but it's very unlikely.

If Iran have nuclear weapons. Israel would have thinks twice before dancing on Iranian sky. It's the reason Iran will never be allowed by the US to possess it.

Ceasefire doesn't mean end of war.

Anyway but as long as Iran agreed to the term of trump. The war might just continue.

Before trump agreed to Israel ceasefire. The Pakistan have send signals that Iranian are ready to talk base on u.s terms.

Mattswaggz:
Something like that.

You are funny. No body that can not be assassinated. The Israel have what it takes. If you are not talking of the repercussions I will admit yes it doesn't worth it.

But saying they don't have the capability is insane.

Mattswaggz:
Check the initial comment of yours that I quoted.

if Israel is capable to take on Putin?

lordprogress:
isreal assasinate putin are you trying to compare assasinating the russian federation president with the mullahs in iran, you must be high on some shit. it will be easier to assasinate trump than putin.

there is no body that cannot be assassinated. Are you suggesting the outcome of it or if they won't be able to do it?

89green:
When us israel started the war by killing more than 100 school girls, it's okay by you but when Iran retaliates then it's terrorism. I know you love the epstein class who traffic children and engage in pdf crawl back to your small hole abeg.

it happened due to outdated data from GPS. That location was formally identified as a IRGC target. The military use that location before.

Mattswaggz:
Your out of touch with reality comment is the answer to your question......that's if you've gotten sober now. .

explain on which area let me detail you.

Saidfx:
Is

The blockade of the strait as little or no effect. It is just a waste of time. Iranians are the ones preempting trump in real sense

how please explain in details

This looks like the old naira notes buhari mob from the economy.

How come they have bank tag and stamps? Which bank still pay cash like this today? Sadly all that money can't even buy 2015 model car.

Have said it a number of time. Atiku will never be president if he hijack the ADC.

Tinubu will win him.

You might think you are prepared for a world war but not until you test it. There is uncertainty in wars. Look the Iranian thought they have leverage over hormuz until the U.S changed it.

That how war advantage can swing. Past U.S presidents have been avoiding iran due to their location.

Thanks to trumps that open more room for learning and understanding.

If not for trump most people will not even understand the dynamics of iran.

Iran have cheap north korea old missile tech. They are one way and not guarded. Cheaper to produce. Iran is targeting the general population which is not a professional warfare by today standards.

While Israel is aware of the collateral damage.

Passionate888:
Hezbollah no dey involve

they might need their separate country so that they can face Israel man to man.

Likely senerio of a possible negotiation.

Iran already claimed it lost over 150-250 billions on this war which they need reperation.

Likewise the U.S military bases in the region.

Iran already collecting a tow of 2m dollars per 2million barrels ship capacity. that should be 1$ per barrel which is minimum and insignificant.

Here are likely Donald trump terms which he will lobby the middle east to agreed to.

Iran should have zero uranium enrichment for at least 20years. And limit their missile productions.

Stop and put end to the proxy support for regional militia like the Yemeni, Palestinian and Lebanon terrorists.

Iran and U.S will conduct a joint operation on the strait of Hormuz. And Iran will continue to collect a temporary tow for a number of years as a war reparation. let assume they lost 250 billions and u.s lost it military bases too. 1 dollar a barrel will not do much to affect pump price.

Sanctions will be lifted from Iran.

The deal will favor U.S and Iran but Israel suffered heavy losses and the Iranian regime still remains. Israel only benefit is the regime threat will be over.

Saudi, Kuwait, Qatar UAE, Bahrain, Iraq and Oman will all enjoy peace with no Iranian threats for at least 20years.

Hezbollah might need their separate country so that they can face Israel man to man. Instead of hiding within civilians and innocents.

Mattswaggz:
On colos. .

how?

frankson1:
Nothing is coming for Russia. Europe have been supporting and funding Ukraine since the fight between Russia and Ukraine started.

Trump is not only avoiding confrontations with Russia, he dreads it.

China is the reason while Russia is still standing….

Trump avoid Russia because of nuclear war. He doesn’t believe on the war since sanctions didn’t work or bring much results.

As far as china continues to buy Russia oil it will continue.

Iran uses russia manpad to bring American aircraft down. Thats when I know something is coming for Russia.

Trump have been trying to avoid russia war.

Israel can assassinate putin if they want to. You can’t take that from them.

But it might leads to nuclear war depends on who takes over. Which the world is not ready for.

Russia is getting it chips from condemn laptop and phones.

Following the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, the United States, European Union, and other nations enacted sweeping sanctions designed to block Russia's access to critical semiconductors, dual-use chips, and advanced technologies. These measures were designed to cripple Russia's defense industry by limiting access to high-tech components needed for missiles, drones, and armored vehicles

As of early 2026, Russia relies on a combination of smuggled Western dual-use chips, Chinese alternatives, and a limited supply of domestically produced components to power its military equipment. Despite strict sanctions, Russia has successfully established clandestine networks to acquire millions of electronic components for drones, missiles, and armored vehicles.

Key chips and components identified in Russian weapon systems to date include:

NVIDIA Jetson Orin: This AI-capable supercomputer chip is used in the latest Russian MS001 drones (an advanced version of the Shahed/Geran), enabling autonomous target identification and AI-driven "killer" drones.

NVIDIA Jetson TX2: Found in Russian Lancet attack drones, used for image recognition and locking onto targets.Western Dual-Use Components: Investigations have discovered thousands of chips from American and European manufacturers in Russian missiles (Iskander, Kinzhal) and drones.

Major brands identified include:

Texas Instruments (microcontrollers, power management)Infineon Technologies (power modules)Analog DevicesIntel & AMD (used in various systems)Monolithic Power SystemsCTS CorporationMicron Technology & MicrelClandestine Sourced Chips:

Russia frequently uses Chinese firms to reroute Western electronics via intermediary networks, often labeling them as "consumer electronics" to bypass restrictions. Domestic Production: While Russia struggles with high-end chip production, it has achieved limited domestic capabilities:Mikron: The country's primary semiconductor manufacturer, capable of producing chips at 90nm and 65nm, which are used in smart cards, bank cards, and some electronics, though they lack the capability to produce advanced military-grade chips.K1946VK035: A 32-bit microcontroller for aircraft and robots launched in late 2024.

Kremniy El Group: Produces integrated circuits and power modules for defense.Future Outlook:Russia is investing heavily in domestic alternatives and working toward establishing 28nm local chip manufacturing by 2027 and 14nm by 2030, according to TAdviser. However, the current battlefield capability heavily depends on smuggled Western hardware.

Russia continues to obtain semiconductors despite intense sanctions by using complex, clandestine supply networks, primarily via China, Hong Kong, Turkey, and the UAE, which procure Western components and re-export them. These illicit networks use front companies to bypass export bans, often utilizing "dual-use" items found in consumer electronics, which are then harvested for military applications.Key reasons for continued chip access:Third-Party Intermediaries: Companies in China and Hong Kong serve as intermediaries, purchasing chips from Western manufacturers and selling them to Russian defense companies.Front Companies and Sanctions Evasion: Russia uses an "ephemeral" network of newly created trading companies in countries like Armenia to disguise the true end-user.Dual-Use Goods: Many necessary components are not exclusively military; they are commonly used in civilian items like washing machines, laptops, and automobiles, making them easier to procure.Pre-War Stockpiles & Smuggling: Large pre-war inventories and smuggling networks have bridged the gap in supply.Failure of Domestic Production: Russia’s domestic chip production is 20–30 years behind, with manufacturers like Mikron failing to match Western capabilities, making imports necessary for military technology.Despite these imports, sanctions have severely crippled Russia’s ability to manufacture high-performance, domestic technology, leaving them reliant on these complex, high-risk procurement methods

ogascomax:
Zelenski should be thinking about ending his war.

is it zenlisky or putin. Who is fighting who?

U.s should stop holding Ukraine from striking deep inside moscow.

If Ukraine start targeting deep inside moscow Putin will face pressure from Russians when their property is been destroyed.

Ask yourself is it not the same world bank that is crying oh high energy price due to iran war. But it wae good for Nigeria fuel moved from 180 to 1000.

Obi ticket will generate nationwide media reach and mobilization.

But obi will not do well in the core north.

Atiku will do well in th north but will fail in the south.

Atiku needs a structure which is not there. But require him wasting money. But Obi doesn't need a structure

I use grounded charcoal and baking powder mixed together in a bowl. Them pour vinegar to it.

Leave it there for more than 24 hours. The mixture removed it.

What social media cannot do? Something he did and people post it online

This one is huge on. Nigeria is just people multi taxation without even knowing.

Likely senerio of a possible negotiation.

Iran already claimed it lost over 150-250 billions on this war which they need reperation.

Likewise the U.S military bases in the region.

Iran already collecting a tow of 2m dollars per 2million barrels ship that should be 1$ per berral which is minimum or insignificant.

Here are likely Donald trump terms which he will lobby the middle east to agreed to.

Stop and put end to the proxy support for regional militia like the Yemeni, Palestinian and Lebanon terrorists.

Iran and U.S will conduct a joint operation on the strait of Hormuz. And Iran will continue to collect a temporary tow for a number of years as a war reparation. let assume they lost 250 billions and u.s lost it military bases too. 1 dollar a barrel will not do much to affect pump price.

Saudi, Kuwait, Qatar UAE, Bahrain, Iraq and Oman will all enjoy peace with no Iranian threats for at least 20years.

If atiku failed to step down. The next election the south will never support him again. If he doesn't have respect for sharing formula

There is no way atiku can win this election. The mobilization will not be there. Because Nigerians are already tired.

Only obi will bring that media buzz and genuine mobilization.

Not money politics but genuine mobilization. People that use their time and money.

Politics is about calculation and timing. As a politician if you don't understand timing you will continue to fail.

With the sorry state of Nigeria. People are not joking

Don't be fool the security of Europe rest with Israel. Israel hold their security pack.


You can't cut off your leg or hand because of hate or disagreement.

Europe are playing politics with Israel. Yet they might not agree with Israel in Gaza. But they need Israel for their security hardware.

When it comes to defence Israel controls the industry. Some of you don't know that Russia Jews are behind Russia security.

Leave it for Israel. These guy's are blessed.

Anyone who want the Jews to be destroyed also want the knowledge of the world and progress of the world to be destroyed.

Even the Muslim nations have security pack deal with Israel. The way they assassinated the top Iranian officers no country in the world today can do that. Not even china or Russia.

If mossad want to nack north Korea leader it won't take them a month planing.

The oil Iran is supplying to china are borrowed money oh. Not like they are receiving the money daily. That have spent and wasted that money on contract to supply the oil like APC government is doing collecting money in advance.

The Iranian economy was in bad shape before the war. Infact it was the reason the protests started. 1 USD is over 1.5m.

Chinese not only buys Iranian oil oh. The also buy from Saudi and Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain. So if Chinese shop passes through they are from other ports.

Iran should give up nuclear for at least 20years. Stop Israel hate and sponsoring of proxy terrorism just like his neighbours.

It's genetic. I have seen mother's that also have firm ones.

But birth and abortion can Make it sag faster. Because they make it increase and full in size. Those that have very lean fat will look more saggy. But those that have enough fat on it will help it to look fuller.
