Iran's Best Move Forward Is To Cut Their Losses - Opinion by givedemwotowoto(op): 4:51am On Jun 22, 2025
When Saddam Hussein was captured during the US Iraq war, these were his words: "I am Saddam Hussein the president of Iraq and I am willing to negotiate", but it was too late. Iran already made the mistake of not negotiating sooner. They became used to US Presidents using diplomacy and not force after the Iraqi invasion. The best move forward now is to cut their losses and move on.

Being a state sponsor of groups like Houthi Rebels, Hezbollah and Hamas that target the US and Israel, eliminates them from the possibility of having nuclear weapons. The US won't allow that. Iran needs to stop now.

Nigerians get their info from CNN International and BBC so discussion on this are shallow US propaganda, but Iran and Iraq are not mates. In fact, Israel and Iran aren't mates.

Their efforts will go towards the other unstoppable missiles that are currently devasting Israel.

The problem is that the US doesn't want to enter into a long-term ground conflict so they will strike hard if Iran retaliates significantly. What they did was target specific sites, next move will determine whether Tehran remains a city or not. When authority crumbles in Iran, there will be internal revolt.

How has Afghanistan fared despite the trillions of dollars wasted fighting the Taliban?
Iran is like a techy version of the taliban.
Ps: The Iranians just placed a target on Americans in that region.

Many Americans have been evacuated. If the Irani government doesn't negotiate now and get toppled by internal rebellion, funds will dry up for groups like Houthi Rebels, Hezbollah, and Hamas.

It is senseless qhsn your like seek to misinform the public. Was Iran not at the negotiating table with a schedule meeting just fews days away before Isreal attacked ?!

Iran at this should know that giving up nuclesr power when Isreal with Nsatanyahu as access to it is giving up it existence.

Exactly, we saw how that played out in Afghanistan. I am not sorry your likes have no knowledge of history.

Is Afghan still a threat to the USA or any of it allies, absolutely No!

Did Afghan destroy any part of the USA, No!

If you notice the Taliban respect themselves unlike Iran..

If Iran tries what they just posted they would cease to exist. It's enough now. They should back down. Stubbornness will only get them eradicated.

Declare that you've stopped nuclear program and move on!

It's game over for Iran.

It's also sickening when persons that devour propaganda channels like Al Jazeera come online to tell others that they have no knowledge of history.

Meanwhile the history is being written before their very eyes.

Israel devastated Iran in 48 hours, decimating all their overhyped air defense systems. Fact.

Israel has decimated the Iranian top military hierarchy. Fact.

Israel has destroyed a good part of the Iranian military facilities. Fact.

Israel knew that some missiles will go through their Air defense systems so they built bomb shelters everywhere. Fact.

Iran knows Israel has nukes. Yet it has not deterred them from attacking Israel the way they've been doing. That means they know and trust that Israel will not nuke them. That shows a high level of confidence in the maturity of the Israeli government to not carry out any genocidal action.

If that does not speak to you in favor of Israel, then most likely you have allowed hate and bias get the best of you.

The bolden is the issue, Iran is not a responsible nation. With their overt threats of destroying the US and Israel, even though no direct confrontation has been made against them until now is irresponsible.

Only countries like NK, Russia and Iran threaten to nuke the world, I’ve never read in recent times similar statements from the West.

Why isn’t Saudi, the home of the Islamic faith threatened by Israel? Why don’t they seek nuclear weapons?

The fallacious rhetoric that there’s a plot against Islamic countries is a hoax. The emirates are advancing by the second hosting diverse races, fabricating cutting edge technology and contributing positively to humanity.

How many years have they exited without nuclear weapons? Is not having nuclear weapons license to state sponsoring terrorist against Israel?

They were given days to negotiate but they were stalling.
