Retired Lt. Gen. Muhammad Saeed, a former senior Pakistani official involved in Islamabad mediation efforts, told the NY Post that Iran will likely respond to the U.S. “take it or leave it” offer — either accepting, rejecting, or proposing adjustments.

Saeed cited Iran’s economic devastation as the key driver: crippling inflation, currency collapse, and public hardship the regime “knows” it cannot ignore — “irrespective of their perception of victory.”


On military capacity, he was blunt: while Iran could keep firing drones and missiles for days, it has no “compatible military means” to counter the U.S. and Israel, and no cost-effective fallback options.

Former State Dept. official Mark Kimmitt agreed the naval blockade of Iranian ports will likely push Tehran back to negotiations — but cautioned that Iran’s current leadership would never “seriously consider terminating” its uranium enrichment program.

USNI News confirms the USS George H.W. Bush carrier is currently operating off the coast of Namibia, sailing around the African continent which will avoid the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb.

Bush and her escorts (USS Donald Cook, USS Mason, USS Ross) plus fast oiler USNS Arctic are en route to join the growing U.S. naval force in the Arabian Sea amid the American blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

Lets face it apart from the little fall here and there from Iranian missiles what is the current consequence of this war Israel has had to face?

Let's list each Iran's and Israel's current losses side by side.


Iran's leadership is in tatters to be fair their holding not too bad but let Israel keep assassinating them in the current rate who will be left?

In this current war Hezbollah is more of a threat than Iran and Israel currently occupies 10% of Lebanon.


So yeah let this war continue at it's current rate Iran will be severely weakened.


That I believe is the reason for this war.
No, the reason for this war is to install a puppet regime, completely destroy Iranian missile program, seize Iran's enriched uranium and completely disable Iran's ability to enrich uranium.

That said, you're right. Israel is fighting alongside a superpower that is willing to sacrifice itself and its Arab allies for them. But with the way things are going in the US, they'll not have that privilege for much longer.

ISRAEL Minister Amichai Eliyahu condemned Erdogan’s remarks and accused him of hypocrisy, citing Turkey’s history of territorial aggression in Cyprus & its treatment of minorities, particularly the Kurds.

“Turkey, which conquered Northern Cyprus and controls Kurdish territories in the east, dares to lecture us on morality. Turkey, which built its economy on the Armenian Genocide, dares to accuse us of genocide. Turkey, which enforces Islamization by force, dares to speak about human rights!”


“The hypocritical Erdogan doesn’t impress anyone with this current circus,” he continued, calling Erdogan a “megalomaniacal dictator” with “imperialist ambitions” who sees himself as “an Ottoman Sultan while being no more than a pathetic tyrant of a country with a collapsing economy and a dead democracy.”

Eliyahu implied it was time for Israel and Turkey to “close this sad chapter of relations” & vowed to bring a proposal before the government to sever diplomatic ties with Turkey completely.

Appleyard:
It's a real pity he is picked to head the sacrificial lamb team attempting to manage what is almost no longer unmanageable.

In recent times, I have been studying Trump and the evangelical movement in the US vis-a-vis their relationship with Zionism and Satan worship cloaked in Christian robe.

Did you see the recent picture Trump posted on Truth Social depicting himself as a "saint healer" with a horned out demon above him? The person he purported to be healing looks like Epstein.

What is happening to pedolf and satanyahu is not like but factually cult like. Vpotus has got himself mixed into the wrong crowd. He won't succeed because he is not in control of what terms to negotiate on. The Epstein clan does. They picked him on purpose to set him up for the fail and taint whatever good reputation he has left since he isn't a member The Epstein cult has already decided Trump won't be finishing his term and they're trying to get Vance out of the way and positioned their own anointed favorite. Don't forget they control both parties.

This talks will not yield anything concrete if Trump doesn't take the off ramp on offer---declare victory and call it a day---escalation will resume immediately if he thinks or he is made to believe by his Epstein handlers that taking the off ramp would be too much a disgrace to bear.

Thus, vpotus will have to come up with his own best laid plans. I don't know how he is going to do it but he must take control of the negotiation terms on offer from his side, push ahead what he knows is reasonably acceptable and best for the moment or die trying to keep his career undented while standing firm on his side maximalist terms.

I am starting to believe Vance has come to the point where the best way out for him right now is to resign honorably before the whole ship sinks beneath him.
they also sent him to hungary to humiliate him

the problem of vpotus is that he is the product of special interest groups
his path to vpotus has not been via strident and independent politicking

as such, if he were to try to be his own man
the machinery will coalesce around rubio and he'd fail to get the nomination

Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by LordAdam16: 12:17am On Apr 14
the conflict and negotiations seem to now revolve around a single point

status of iran's uranium enrichment




before the war
iran offered two fatal concessions

a. suspension of enrichment for "x" number of years
x ranged from 3 to 5
some outlets reported up to 7

b. it would dilute its enriched uranium
on the eve of the war, they offered to down blend the uranium
a process that is irreversible
such that iran would have zero stockpile of enriched uranium




khamenei, larijani, and mousavi offered both concessions because they were willing to make a deal to avoid the war

this is why the omanis and brits believed a deal was possible to avoid the war

but the epstein coalition interpreted these concessions as a sign of weakness
if iran was willing to suspend enrichment for 5 years and irreversibly down-blend its enriched uranium before the war
then after a war they expect to win, they believed they could get iran to give up enrichment completely and hand over the enriched uranium

they also introduced multiple extra conditions, like inability to launch satellites and limit on range and number of missiles
those concessions also contributed to them feeling positive that the regime was weak enough to be susceptible to a regime change operation




now after the war

the epstein 🤡🤡 seem to have given up those extra conditions as well as regime change delusions

but they are unwilling to give up the complete halt of enrichment and hand over of the enriched uranium

i must say i have reduced confidence in this crop of persian leaders holding the line

right now, the mediators are telling them:
if you were willing to suspend enrichment and down-blend the enriched uranium to prevent the war
why can't you offer the same terms to end the war, especially since you now have a new revenue stream you didn't have at the start of the war

i blame khamenei i for introducing this slippery slope
another in his innumerable litany of st8888d decisions
but he's dead
and it is up to this crop of leaders to realize that they absolutely cannot completely give up enrichment
that will be snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

and the epstein 🤡🤡 will be back
regardless of whatever agreement they sign
because they are not agreement capable

lastly, i will stop supporting this iranian government if they completely give up enrichment
i consider that treasonous
there'll be those who argue, surviving a regime change war is a victory
that is true
controlling the strait of hormuz and charging tolls is a victory
that is true
but nothing excuses completely giving up enrichment
that is my red line for support

If the Ayatollahs had a bomb they would use it. They are different from say North Korea Kim Jong Un who wants to live longer and neds the bomb to starve off any attempt to remove him from power
The Ayatollahs would love nothing more than be the ones who exploded a nuke on American or Israel soil,knowing that if they die in the process,Allah will reward them with 72 houris ( perpetual virgins)

Big difference,they are suicidal maniacs .A good chunk of the Islamic world would screech allahu Akbar for years to come. They will celebrate any loss of American or Israel life whether 10 times more Muslims die in the process.
You have seen many here hoping Dimona plant is hit ,and the nuclear fallout wipes Israel of which around 20 % are muslims.

I was derided and have been here for making the claim that all these actions by Trump are aimed squarely at China.

This newest move from Trump confirms that he has a plan, has a timeline, and is thinking many steps ahead.

Trump removed Chinese influence over Panama Canal, took out Maduro, and gained control of Venezuela’s oil supply, because he knew this standoff with Iran would happen.

Anyone claiming Trump doesn’t have a plan or is dumb, is just objectively wrong. You might not like Trump or agree with his plan, but the fact that he has a plan, is incontrovertible.

All the pundits and “experts” were, are, and will continue to be, dead wrong about everything.

Yet they have religious fatwa that ban the development of nukes.

But let's assume is because they don't have it based on your line of thoughts so what happened to Pakistan that have it and haven't used it.


Then what happened to US that has already used it more than ones and the worse part they used it against civilians

Iran’s Savage Regime Sentences 19-Year-Old Girl to Public Execution for Protesting

The bloodthirsty mullahs ruling Iran are showing their true colors once again. Nineteen-year-old Saghar Gholami from Gonbad-e Kavus in Golestan Province now faces imminent public hanging after a sham trial.

Arrested in early February 2026 for taking part in January’s nationwide protests, she has been denied a lawyer, cut off from her family, and given no clear charges. This is not justice. It is pure terror designed to silence anyone who dares challenge the Islamic Republic’s iron grip.

The regime executed at least 1,639 people in 2025 alone, the highest number in decades, with dozens of women among the victims.
