Iran needs to accept a peace deal with Israel since their home made air defense system failed on the USA strike

Israel needs to find a way to block this hit me I hit you back because it won't favour Israel since it smaller in size and population

The Iran storage under ground for ballistic missile exit point should be hit even if Israel can't destroy the underground then the exit point should be damaged and blocked by Israeli weapons
Lol.
You are coming out of your shells and fully showing your colour.
So Iran's missiles storage entrance should be blown and after manned by isreal and allies right?
Well done sir.
So that they can fully colonize Iran like the other Arab countries.
Coming and going as they wish, blowing up airports and run ways regularly as they do in Damascus, Syria and Lebanon right?
Why you jump up and shout hallelujah because God has given the children of God the control to subdue their perceived enemies? You are a fanactic bro

They have bomb your nuclear reactor uncountable times within 9 days. They are even bombing it for fun. and you are here making threats. Is this war a joke to them or they are just pussies
They shouldn't do that though. They should allow the zios strike a nuclear plant first. Basically they should refrain from doing anything that would make the us want to enter the war fully. This is the only way they can deal with the zios

⚡Israeli officials to Yedioth Ahronoth:

We will accept a ceasefire tomorrow if Khamenei announces that he wants one.

We do not want to enter into a war of attrition with Iran.

But the possibility of Iran agreeing to enter into negotiations is slim, if not nonexistent.

Thanks for your take.
I totally concur with the fact that Iran should refrain from closing the Strait... at least for now.
For me that'd be an emotional decision - they'd have played one of their most important cards way too early in the conflict.
Let the Strait be!
Totally avoid the Americans - they're a distraction at the moment.
They have the right to retaliate America's aggression but that should be done at a time of their choosing.
War has many twists and turns and they'll naturally get their chance for a payback.
Completely focus on Netanhayu's transgression.
Emulate "Mother Russia" and President Putin - do not let your feelings come in the way of what you've set out to achieve be it advancing on the Nuclear program or the ongoing punishment of Netanhayu's regime.
Unfortunately wars are conducted by men and emotions rule men.
If they can put their emotions in check and really think deep in terms of strategy and tactics, they have the capacity to last the fight and who knows where all of this would end?
It's quite scary the times we're in as this could quite easily metamorphose into something that could consume most of the world.
But, what do I know?
As shoodboi2 astutely opined, they have to respond to the US.
The last time Pezeshkian and his gang insisted on not responding, Iran regretted the error.

Your assessment is reasonable. But you have ignored the fact that the US is not yet done. They are currently executing a wait-and-see approach where they see Iran's response and use that to justify another attack against Iran.

Iran is in a quagmire. If it responds and destroys expensive assets or kills troops, America will use that as justification to launch an even larger attack.

If Iran doesn't attack, America and Israel will consider it a weakness and launch bolder attacks.

That is why LordAdam spoke about Iran retaliating against US bases but without killing American troops.

What Iran has done has effectively put the US in that quagmire Iran is supposed to be in. Iran literally fought back without firing a shot. Now, the US will clearly be the aggressor. And it would have little justification to attack Iran.

Plus closing the strait also means American and NATO citizens will feel the heat of Trump's action. And let's not forget that the US now has to deploy resources into protecting ships in the strait (if they want to keep it open by force, that is).

The more resources the US has to deploy to keep the strait open, the less resources it can deploy against Iran itself.
I see the point.
My only fear is this could go any way and quickly spiral out of control.
My take on not closing the Strait is rooted in the fact that going that rout effectively opens another front in the war which they may not need to do for now.
Surely, the Strait would be closed sooner or later but doing so as a direct retaliation to America's aggression might lead to them losing the focus on Netanhayu.
As LordAdams has suggested, a retaliatory strike on an evacuated US base would do just fine.

⚡Iran's Atomic Energy Agency says nuclear sites are quickly being rebuilt, activity to continue with greater power.
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by IMEI: 7:35pm On Jun 22, 2025
Unless Iran's nuclear program is wiped out from attacks by America, I wouldn't advise Iran to retaliate in a way that would enable the US justify a consequential attack against them

This attack by all means has neither destroyed, nor severely crippled Iran's nuclear ambitions. From all indications, they're well placed to re-activate the program....Strategic actions over all-out war is what's needed

Iran cannot afford a large assault by both israel and the US simultaneously. The current tit-for-tat with israel is ideal because Iran has adapted to the nature of the conflict and is dealing hard blows of its own that are proving costly for the enemy

Meanwhile, Trump played his hand early and has compromised his position. A second strike is off the table because anymore and that'll be tantamount to a declared war, which they're keen to avoid

Iran has the all clear for now and is in a better position arguably than before the US strikes

Side note:

If truly the US believed what has been attributed to JD Vance that Iran isn't war capable, then the US wouldn't have just targeted the nuclear sites, they would've gone for the missiles and Iran's pillars of power, inorder to set the country back by a lot and cripple its ability to hurt israel

If this is true then good, means the chosen ones are tired of fighting. I don’t blame them, it’s not easy for pilots to travel thousands of kilometres daily and the destruction of the promised land is huge. I hope any peace talks will include Palestine. The invincible myth is broken.

They don't chant it day and night. They only chant it when the US does things that hurt them. If the US bombs them, they shout “Death to America,” which is fair. Or are they supposed to pray for the US after the US bombs them?

The chant originated from decades ago when Iran had nothing to retaliate against the US. So, back then the US could do all sorts of horrible things to them and they couldn't fight back.

Today, it's just another slogan used to display their disgust with US policies towards Iran.

See, I already know where you are going with this and I know we both will soon end up in an argument about the religious legitimacy of Israel if we go back and forth for too long. And I am not usually interested in religious arguments.

In the meantime, you can check this Wikipedia link for everything you need to know about the chant. It has been covered in detail:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_to_America
It not about arguing I only wanted to know your own view

OK let me ask you

Do you believe Israel have the right to exist in that land

This Iranians are not serious, they think this is a joke? I don't know who is more comic between their leaders and their media

-They tell Isreal when they are about to attack" the 9th wave is about to begin.
- they tell Isreal when they sent it "our missile is on the way"
- they tell Isreal what they have sent " we have sent 20 drone 9 missiles including keibar"
They also tell them where they are attacking in Isreal
That's the real definition of sophistication; it is the purest form of conventional warfare where you don't need to act guerilla.
It exudes psychological superiority to those who claim they are world powers.

Rilwayne001:
European countries are so weak, their weakness is now so glaring.
They are not weak bro.
They have been conquered and need to do the bidding of their master.
What we are experiencing now is Modern Colonization.
Suppressing, subduing countries and after that calibrating their economy to align with western requirements... That is all.
After that, they start barking at their previous allies.
Before central and eastern Europe collapsed, most of them were good friends and neighbors to Russia but after collapse and align, calibrating their economies to western own, they have all become enemies to Russia and regularly barking at her.
Just few years back, Sweden and Finland had no issues and problem with Russia being neighbors but after calibration, they have started barking at her.
Ukraine is barking, Belarus was nearly snatched from their hand right Infront of their nose before they woke up and smelt the coffee.
So many attempts were made for regime change in Belarus that didn't succeed.
Georgia started barking before Russia knew their is fire on the mountain.
Those who think they are invincible because they have nukes..... Lol
The cartels working behind US and using isreal and Ukraine for the dirty jobs would stop at nothing to see all perceived enemies go down.
Countries like china and Russia needs a different approach of defeat. There is no point facing them Head on, it is suicidal and financially catastrophic.
It will be am inside job. They would have to collapse from within.
Their neighbors and families within would be used to betray and sabotage them.
The cartels behind US are not in a hurry. They have the time. If it will take 20 to 50 years to put things in place to collapse these nations from within, they will.
It may not even be in our time. Not putins time or Xi but the bribing, corruption, spying etc definitely have started behind the scene.
The Russia project and Chinese project would take long time. They would collapse of Iran goes down without them firing 1 nuke from their silos.
When you see a man/nation/Russia constantly threatening to use nukes if they provoke him, it speaks volume. He is been pushed to the corner or caged.
If they had done their home work well and proactive, they won't be sleeping or snoring or dozing while Ukraine was funded and snatched right Infront of their nose.
Now he is shedding so much men's blood and wasting so much scarce money to help the economy fighting a battle of survival. Something that is easily avoidable.
From my little experience in life, attacking teams or nations far more succeed that defending nations or teams.
Check football, real Madrid, Barcelona, man u, Liverpool are all attacking teams and have won more champion's league more than defending teams who sits back and soak in pressure - Juventus, AC Milan, inter Milan.
It is the main reason fulanis were abled to dominate and over run so many villages, towns and empires right from Mali in futa jallon all the way to Nigeria. Expanding because they are an attacking tribe while yorubas, hausas, nupe, and other collapsed tribes in Mali, Senegal, Burkina Faso, niger, Chad sits deep, soak in pressure and push back until they get overwhelmed and collapsed.
If the whites had not come through sea and brought modern weapons to fight and push back the fulanis by the yorubas, they would have collapsed sooner or later and the fulanis would keep matching on towards south Africa conquering

I won't accept Israel to be destroyed

I still won't accept Iran to be crushed

There must be a balance that where I stand

Iran must accept Israel right to exist first

Methinks it is all psyops.
Part of the whole Iran does not have to respond forcefully narrative.

The US is saying they'd not strike again if Iran does not.
Israel is saying they'd agree to a ceasefire and want to stop fighting.

Then if Iran has a weak response, they'll start saying they'd never have a better opportunity to finish off Iran than now when they're weak.
Iran will be shalayeing about the reason for their weak response, and then decapitation strikes on the political leadership will suddenly ring across Tehran.

Iran has to forcefully respond. Punch the US hard without causing it to bleed.
If it can hit three or four different targets, even better.
Then stay on alert to go higher on the escalation ladder. The West is and always will be treacherous.

I understand you, but the truth is Iran has already won. When an enemy missile can hit anywhere at anytime causing massive infrastructure and economic destruction you’re doomed. What we’re seeing now is like watching an accident in slow motion, the end result is obvious. If this goes on for like 3 to 6 months Israel might not survive as a state. This is a big miscalculation of the west again ( apparently leant nothing from Russia) , they thought Iran is just a bigger Iraq. Even if usa joins the war they can’t save Israel from those ballistic missiles, they just blow up civilian infrastructure, that’s why they want peace. They miscalculated and I think Iran should accept the peace but please include Palestine.

Iran must not fall for it. These people wiped out their military structure with a sneak attack and threatened their supreme leader. You don't just make peace with such people if you have the means to keep fighting.
