Multiply that by 10. That's the actual number.

Cuz why on earth would 5 soldiers dying become news??

Masterviolence:
I've commented on this matter before and I wonder why it is still a debated topic.

Russia does not support the idea of Iran possessing nuclear capabilities that can be armed.

Before the year started Russia have been giving the world signals that clearly stated, they don't support Iran possessing nukes and since the year started they've diplomatically made it known again.

Geopolitics is all about interest no emotions, Russia have their reasons and all the wailing on this forum won't change a thing unless there's a change in Russia's strategic interest towards Iran.

LordAdam16:
By the way, the Iran Supreme Council today announced wartime mobilization of resources for the production of ballistic missiles.

It appears like its late but I can see how planning something this complex could take 2 weeks.
They do need to make huge arrangements with China for precursors and other logistics before bringing 1500 facilities online (that's from their statement).

Iran is preparing for war. And if Satanyahu does not attack, Iran will provoke an attack when it feels it has acquired a large enough stockpile.
All they have to say is that they've significantly increased their 90% enriched Ur stockpile and it'll push Satanyahu's mumu button.

Or maybe they're exaggerating since it is now undeniable that the war will resume soon. Or it's a bit of both.

LordAdam16:
There is a flaw in this assessment.

The JCPOA agreement accepted Iran's right to enrich uranium.
Russia did not protest at the time.

Now that Israel and its lapdog the US are asking for Iran to give up that right.
All of a sudden, Putin agrees with them.

Explain that change.
If you're just going to parrot Western demands unless your own security is threatened, what is the point of the "multipolarity" you keep pushing?
With friends like Putin, who needs enemies?

Iranian Foreign Minister: If we had any intention of moving toward nuclear weapons, we would have done it already; perhaps now we would even have the best excuse. But we consider nuclear weapons not only inhumane, but also un-Islamic.

FoolishBoy419:
This would be the most sensible thing they've done in a long time. Some Iranian officials talked about resuming talks with USA yesterday and it made me question my support for the country. If they are making preparations then such statements make perfect sense. They want to put Iran in the bag at all costs and only brute force can save Iran

⚡Axios:

Russian president Vladimir Putin supports the Israeli idea of denuclearization in Iran, and asks Iran to hand over their enriched uranium.

FoolishBoy419:
Until they acknowledge their loss, you have no right ro believe otherwise.

Meanwhile, Hamas losers just kpai 5 more IDF soldiers.

FoolishBoy419:
You know our guy na. We have to go with what Israel is willing to admit

LordAdam16:
In the 21st century, you do not publicly state that you forgo negotiations in its entirety.
In 2019 after acquiring nukes, North Korea was open to dismantling its primary nuclear facility for sanctions relief.
That deal fell apart because the US, as always, wanted more.

You receive communication, claim your doors of diplomacy are always open, and you strategically ignore it.
Iran is doing this atm, at least for now. Could change.
Araqchi did say Iran was open to talks. He added, however, that negotiations will only be about its nuclear program.
And any agreement must incorporate Iran's right to enrichment.

Their position has not changed from before the war.
Only now they add the easy to miss condition that after the US/Israel sucker punch in the middle of negotiations, they're not eager to return to the table and must secure guarantees first.

The US/Israel now interpret this as them buying time for a rebuild.
Consequently, they're ratcheting plans to attack again before that rebuild can be completed..

I'll give you another example.
Iran goes to great lengths to insist that they have not abandoned the NPT.
But there are no IAEA inspectors in Iran anymore and they've removed all IAEA monitoring systems.
They're still an NPT signatory. But the IAEA is unable to enforce the critical part of the NPT and JCPOA (which is still active as the E3 have not joined in placing massive sanctions on Iran). They're having their cake and eating it.

Of course, since a war is imminent, both schemes serve them well until the missiles start flying.

The only hubbub about Iran is that they have very obvious lapses in vital areas.
And that is fouling the entirety of their strategy.
Think for a minute, if they actually had better opsec.
They'd have repelled more of Israel's attack and be in a stronger position going into the next round.

Obedience40:
The IDF is a military institution not a terrorist group, soldiers are not terrorists, the military is an establishment, with soldiers on its payroll, go and view the IDf pages they constantly update its casualties records for public display, soldiers have families and dependants, a KIA can't be hidden especially in a military state like Israel were virtually all young males are mostly reservists.

A single killed in action fatality is published by the IDf talkless of five killed in a combat incident.

Anything to make you guys sleep better is welcome

FoolishBoy419:
That is likely an attempt to sow discord between them because if Putin did say that, it would be too sensitive for them to disclose to the media. I believe Putin has a soft spot for Israel and he ought to more for Iran, but such treachery would be too costly for Russia in the long run. Russians offer tremendous assistance to their nuclear program and I'm not sure how true this is, but former CIA analyst Larry Johnson said Russia helped Iran recover from several cyber attacks throughout the war. I am still hesitant to draw a final conclusion on Putin

usmanpogo:
During the 80s, at the height of the cold war

Jonathan Pollard a US Navy intelligence officer was captured spying for Israel, the Israelis in turn passed the stolen classified information to the Soviets.
Some reports suggested the information might have been used to facilitate the emigration of Soviet Jews.

In 2011 PM Ben Netanyahu begged for the release of Jonathan Pollard and he was released in 2015.

The relationship between Russia and Israel is not that complicated after all.

It’s not that Russia suddenly agrees with U.S. or Israeli demands. It’s that Russia, simply put "doesn’t want Iran to develop nuclear weapons" not because it’s siding with the West, but because a nuclear Iran could trigger a dangerous arms race in the Middle East. That’s a threat to Russia too, especially since the region is close to its borders and Russia has relationships with both Iran and countries like Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Also, there have been credible reports especially during the original JCPOA talks, that Russia offered to store Iran’s enriched uranium or even supply Iran with pre-enriched uranium for peaceful nuclear use. This would let Iran keep its nuclear energy program without building up large amounts of enriched uranium inside the country. That proposal was seen as a way to build trust and prevent weaponization.

WritterNg:
But let's be honest, the way Putin has been acting lately. We don't know if he secretly wants Iran to not have Nukes.

Remember he offered to supply Iran with enriched uranium.

FoolishBoy419:
Exactly. Israel would have devastated them completely if they'd allowed themselves to fall into chaos. But the question is, how many more of these cells are available in Iran? This is where the main problem lies. High profile heads need to start rolling fast. Some members of the opposition parties made questionable statements during the war. Go after them. Make people pay for this costly negligence. Pezeshkian said Israel attempted to kill him without providing a shred of evidence. Do some digging.

Israel lied to the world about having complete air supremacy. With jets flying everywhere, Iran would have been foolish to be packing 20+ launchers in one area when their tunnels are designed to enable sneaky and high-volume strikes. Those drones and spike weapons did 80% of the job

At the bolded, I got rolling with laughter.

That man head no correct again o.

Iran is preparing, no doubt, but the question on everyone's mind is have they solved the counterintelligence problem?

LordAdam16:
The b0t erased the longer retort.

All I read are feeble excuses for treachery.

---

Israel has about 100 nukes. Pakistan has near that number. Turkey has NATO nukes stationed on its soil. Saudi Arabia is covered by Pakistan's nuclear umbrella.
What phantom arms race are you talking about?
All Iran wants is a measure of the same security its geopolitical rivals have and Putin is dropping lamba.

---

Iran is a F***ING ALLY that was one of the few amongst 180 nations who directly and timely delivered missiles and drones to Russia in its war.
How is that not enough for Russia to simply stick to its previous position of going back to the JCPOA deal with Iran retaining its right to nuclear enrichment?

---

How can Putin be crowing about the failures of the rules-based order while it validates and assists its foe's illegal, unjustifiable attack on Iran's nuclear facilities and military command. An act that is expressly forbidden under the NPT. And worse doing so while the US kills tens of thousands of Russians.

---

I say all of this even though I don't read much into those private statements.
China has adhered to some of the sanctions placed on Russia, yet it has a no-limits partnership with Russia and is actively supporting its war.

But you simply cannot expect to take those postulations serious.
That Putin has legitimate reasons to be treacherous with his ally while they're both literally sustaining casualties in their hot conflicts against the same foe.

It stinks MV.

Let me emphasize this point.
Putin's treachery DEFINITELY contributed to the US/Israel believing Iran was sufficiently isolated and that they could conduct a brutal regime change operation.
How is this different from Ghadaffi and Libya? Everyone talks about, oh, we made a mistake, we would do things differently, but then get the chance to do things differently and they're validating US attacks and regime change operations.
Or does Putin seriously expect anyone to believe that he is naïve to the consequences of Iran giving up its right to nuclear enrichment while the US/Israel are publicly and militarily pursuing regime change in Iran.

He has no excuse and you have none either.

Masterviolence:
This is the first time I’m hearing claims suggesting that Iran now seeks the same level of security guarantees afforded to its geopolitical rivals and that Putin is supposedly lending lamba. It’s surprising, given that the Iran I’ve long been familiar with has prided itself on self-sufficiency, often projecting a stance of defiant independence and minimal reliance on external powers.

So one must genuinely question why Iran continues to enrich uranium beyond levels required for civilian purposes if it truly has no intention of developing nuclear weapons.

I’ll reiterate my point, Iran must either fully commit to acquiring a nuclear deterrent or abandon the entire program altogether. There is no middle ground. North Korea stands as a clear example of what decisive action, one way or the other entails.

Mikasaobi:
I watched a Muslim talk about this, he said in Islam you can’t kill non combatants in a war. The supreme leader didn’t allow Iran to retaliate with chemical weapons when Iraq used chemical weapons during the war. I think ( I may be wrong about this) the supreme leader is basically like the pope to Shia Islam so he sees things from a religious point of view. If the Vatican was in Iran’s shoes am sure the Pope won’t approve nuclear weapons. It seems naive considering the enemy they’re fighting but I understand their point of view. I also understand people criticising them but I won’t criticise their moral views.
