Which one is they should go ahead... Is a talk not going on? You want to interpret the restraint as weakness again? And if they go ahead, you will be here to cry again and say they struck in the middle of negotiations.
I see You are really desperate. Even the Iranian government will lay a curse on you for this taunt.
U.S knows Iranians are stubborn people who don't bow to pressure so why allow the negotiation to drag on, why not just start the war since they have the power to destroy Iran. Infact Trump had the opportunity to do it last June but he decided to bomb Nuclear facilities and run to social media to tell the world "now it's time for peace". Really, you bombed a country unprovoked and you didn't want a full blown war with that country.

The nuclear facilities he touted he had destroyed completely all of a sudden have grown back like yam underground.

What a cliche that balisco made a simple intelligent analysis and all the clown pack has come for him!!

Funny the same people asking if he is a military general are the ones sinking air carriers in two seconds with their magical missiles😂😂


They are expecting to read about how one magical missile would sink a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier... All these one can't even think independently. They are all used to eating propaganda from the table of the LordAdamu..

⚡Despite White House warnings that Iran could produce weapons-grade nuclear material within days, nuclear experts and UN officials say Iran’s nuclear program has largely stalled since U.S. and Israeli strikes on key facilities last June.

Satellite imagery and international assessments show no clear evidence that Iran has resumed uranium enrichment. The International Atomic Energy Agency believes much of Iran’s enriched uranium remains buried under damaged sites, and experts say enrichment is effectively suspended.

While Trump argues Iran is rebuilding and remains a serious threat — including through its missile program — many analysts say there is no visible proof of active nuclear advancement.

⚡South Korea’s births rose 6.8% in 2025 to 254,500—the biggest jump in 18 years—pushing the fertility rate up to 0.80.

The rebound is driven by more marriages and people born in the early 1990s reaching peak childbearing age.

Still, the country has the lowest fertility rate in the OECD.

I should laugh or cry. If US gets into a war with Iran , no ballistic missile will be fired from Iran
USAF is nothing like IDF. IDF could not sustain a no flight zone, lack enough refuelling tankers and loitering bombers. IDF was able to operate for 12 days without any planes getting shot down.
America would take out every radar site within hours. Then they would
have B-52s and B2-Bs loitering over Iran space waiting for a target to be identified. USAF is not like IDF to be threatened with ballistic missiles. Meanwhile every fighter jet would be picking out Khamanei militay. If he fires at a USS Carrier then an open war of invasion would be declared. In an invasion Iranians would support America to get rid of Khamanei.When your own citizens are sabotaging your defences your goose is cooked.
Trump is unlike Obama who approved every drone bombing of a terrorist. Trump would tell the military generals go ahead and get me a victory.
Iran is a barking dog with enough ballistic missiles hidden underground.
USAF would carpet bomb every square centimeter from where's the missiles are being launched.
Venezuela didn't realize they were being attacked until too late
The US military isn't anywhere course to the rag tag Russians .
Muslim armies are medieval , they torture prisoners of war , they bomb indiscriminately targeting civilians, they lie to their own people about how victorious they've been while in underground bunkers They go to UN to demand their enemies follow war protocols, while they do the opposite.

The only Muslim country that's has a modern army is Turkey. The rest will quickly degenerate into war tactics used in medieval warfare

⚡Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:

We had more than 28,000 street assassinations in the early days of the war...

They assassinated our president, our Friday prayer Imam, and our scientists.

What sin did our scientists commit that they are being assassinated?

Do you know why they assassinate? So that weak people like me remain and cannot serve the country.

They take the competent ones from us.

Watcharena:
Afghanistan- more than 30 countries were involved

Japan was fighting all over the world, again the world was at war,If US try it,US will be the only world power at war thus other countries that matters will leave US behind

Vietnam never had medium range ballistic missiles,they didn't use hypersonic missiles either
The main difference is Iran air defence systems and early warning radar from Russia and China. Before the 12 days war Iran local air defence interception was over 90% when Israel attacked. The success from 12 days war was due to sabotage groups destroying air defence, it won’t happen again because Iran was caught sleeping then. We still don’t know what systems Russia and China delivered.

Afghanistan had nothing, so the USA used their bombers freely. If Iran prevents destruction from sabotage then the USA has to suppress enemy air defence (sead). Sead is not easy for a country like Iran because they’ll be shooting hypersonic missiles as you attack. Russia did it with hypersonic missiles and iskander ballistic missiles in Ukraine, but the west keeps supplying more. All USA air to surface missiles and tomahawk missiles are subsonic which Iran air defence can handle.

The USA will use mostly long range missiles and that is in limited quantity. If they enter Iran airspace, they might not come out alive. We don’t have any cell or cockpit video of Israel planes flying over Iran, even with weakened air defence capabilities. We actually have a precedent in Serbia. The USA air force ran out of missiles and Serbia shot down stealth. You can’t even compare Serbia to Iran.

The joint chiefs chairman said he can’t guarantee success, words on the street is pentagon officials don’t want this war. The keyboard warriors don’t know the logistics involved, that’s why they say amateurs talk tactics while generals talk logistics.

Taco don’t pass the buck to Israel, you were feeling cool when the world begged you not to destroy the global economy. Now you’ve backed yourself to a corner and no theatre will save you. Eyes go clear.

Watcharena:
and you think Iran didn't factor all those things by developing the ability to fire missiles directly beneath the earth surface without having the need to come to the surface ,Iran tested those missiles more than five years back. So there's no way Iran won't be able to fire their missiles ,no country can single handedly invade Iran given the current arrangements us doesn't have the Manpower,
that comment you quoted is rage bait

for crying out loud, the two opening sentences were, and i'm not kidding

I should laugh or cry. If US gets into a war with Iran , no ballistic missile will be fired from Iran
NO
ZERO
ZILCH

that is the epitome of a comment from a troll

did the us stop the houthis from firing missiles last year?

just disregard the trolling and move on

persia sent them a hardline proposal

and the pale macaques were pissed

we've all read the shalaye from vance and rubio
meaningless rubbish

the iranians have said the proposal is a test, if the yankees outright reject it, then the negotiations were a ruse
well, everyone knows the negotiations have always been a ruse

the persians humored them because of the arabs, but that patience has run out




asking for 20% when the previous deal was for 3.67% is excellent

the persians learn fast

the negotiations are a farce, so treat it like a ruse




the ford carrier has left crete on its way to the genocidal warts

this weekend, most systems will turn green
and well, everyone expects hostilities to commence

⚡Russia could intercept European nukes ‘within ten years,’ experts warn.

Russian air and missile defenses may soon be able to intercept British and French nuclear weapons, according to new analysis by the U.K.-based defense think tank RUSI.

Russia has been strengthening the shield around its air space, the report found, in a move which could challenge the ability of Europe’s two nuclear powers to retaliate against Moscow in the next decade.

Unlike the United States, which fields a more diverse nuclear arsenal, Britain and France rely predominantly on small numbers of warheads deployed at sea.

list of us demands at geneva according to the wall street journal

1) Destruction of all three nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan;

2) Surrender of all enriched uranium to the United States;

3) No sunset clauses—meaning permanent restrictions, unlike the 2015 nuclear agreement;

4) Zero enrichment, but the Tehran Research Reactor would be allowed to remain operational;

5) Limited sanctions relief upfront; more if Iran complies with the conditions.
nothing here is workable

iran could shut down one of the attacked nuclear sites
it has many others that are operational

it did shut down araz for the jcpoa

that is the only somewhat easy pill to swallow




permanent restrictions is somewhat workable if they get 20% enrichment

because they'll be able to renegotiate that in 10 years when they've completed their layered defense buildup, manufactured tens of thousands of hypersonics, modernized their air force, and massively improved their economy




nothing else is workable
even that limited sanctions relief make no sense because they'll keep shifting the goal post and using roundabout ways to keep most of the sanctions

iran cannot give up its enriched uranium because it needs it if it will be only enriching at one supervised site

⚡Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski:

Across Europe, increasingly loud warnings are being voiced about—let us say it plainly—war.

The Prime Minister of Denmark says that Europe which lacks both the capacity and the will to defend itself will eventually perish.

The Chief of the French General Staff warns that the country must be ready—quote—‘to lose children in a potential armed conflict with Russia.’ End quote.

The Secretary General of NATO states—again a quote—‘Russia has brought war back to Europe.’ End quote. And therefore we must be prepared for a conflict on a scale experienced by our grandfathers or great-grandfathers.

The German Minister of Defense does not rule out a scenario in which Russia could be ready to attack a NATO country not in three or four years, but even this year.

Sannikov fled Russia in 2022, was placed on an international wanted list in early 2024, and was arrested in the UAE last December.
