Kinda interesting, because: 1. The US gets to pretend it's still all-powerful 2. Trump gets the Neocons off his back (assuming he hasn't become one himself) 3. Israel can't scream "nuclear weapons in Iran!" anymore 4. Iran can't actually use one of their nukes because then the world knows they...

As has been mentioned, a simple way for Iran to circumvent that is to say that they are legally justified now to exit the Non-Proliferation-Treaty after the US attack (some of them are already saying that) and then announce that Iran just received nuclear weapons from another country. It would...

Possibly the fact that leader in 2003 nixed the nuclear weapons option, publicy, and has stood by it, makes it VERY difficult to say they have them. If he publicly removed the injunction against them now, that would be to Isreals favour. Plus, whatever they think of Tulsi, they probably surmise...

Just watched this from the Chinese professor. This was made before the current conflict. The professor really does see the eventual conflict between Iran and the US as destructive/transformative to the world. He compares the US to Athens just before the peloponnesian war.. at that time...

In any case, the trip was already scheduled for this date some time ago, so while there will obviously be talks on this issue, for the moment Iran could continue to maintain its stance of fighting more or less alone. As Vulpes said, the damage shouldn't have been significant; the critical assets...

Few thoughts about the 'mask' in this situation, that is 'Nuclear bomb' capability. If some country feel threatened, they will go for it by hook or crook (nuclear deterrence) despite the invincibility of 'enforcers'. There is no secrecy in it though it is very difficult to enrich the material...

If the american attack was a façade.. I'd wonder if Israel was in on it too? Iran proved a far stronger enemy than Israel seemed to expect. If they realized that they would not be able to achieve any sort of real victory, then I could imagine Israel, America and Iran talking behind the scenes...

I missed for 24 hours. Thought that Trump will bomb on friday/saturday. BTW, this is not yet the real deal. B2 bombers are joke, when we see reports on bigger number of B52s that will be the real deal, because of the bomb load. I'd say that the US is preparing for a long air campaign...

China speaks out on Iran-Israel war - Israel, in particular, should cease fire immediately. Civilians must be protected. Communication, dialogue are the right path to peace. Must be a political solution to Iranian nuclear weapons. China stands ready to play a constructive role in the Middle East...

As I said, despite how dangerous this game is, from their perspective and given a certain confidence in their abilities that they might have, perhaps they think they can get out of this situation relatively well without having to risk suffocating sanctions yet... everything will depend on how...

Iran had signed the The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Declaring itself a nuclear power might have serious repercussions such as with the United Nations and the relations with other countries who were not aware of the state of affairs.

Interesting article (longer one) on chronological history of Iran's position on nuclear weapons through religious Fatwas as a mask and 'strategy'. Khamenei's fatwa against nukes: Did Iran sell a lie to the world? Are we to believe that no professional keeping tracking of these statements (or...

a) But not sure, yet? about the next 24 hrs, perhaps 72 (almost to the point of the ending of the 2W) I do not think Iranians believe about the 2 weeks. they are making people believe that Iran is interested. I wonder if the forces that operate from behind are pursuing another huge refugee...

I don't think they can conceive of losing, but if they do and are interested in having a portal relatively close, there is the Atacama. Milei's election and support for him are a response to the weariness of progressive policies perceived as the cause of the country's current misery. It's not...

Just my thoughts. I think that the US will attack Iran with all the military might they have. You don't move billions of dollars worth of equipment just to do nothing. Two weeks is probably for american people to accommodate to the idea, and to calm down Iran, Russia and China. Russia and...

Good shout... Here's the thing they aren't explaining - why does Iran want to do anything else other than defend itself? Why attack innocent ppl in Europe or elsewhere? What does it gain? It's the same playbook they expect us to believe... that "they" the people we don't like are barbarians and...

The thought occurred that this "two week pause" could be very similar to the negotiations that were taking place prior to Israel's attack: Trump thought he was lining up the Iranians for a "really great deal" that would highlight his skills as a 'deal maker', and then Israel acted unilaterally...

Sooooo.... Trump, believing he's been chosen by God, goes over to Israel, whacks Bibi, finds a patsy to blame it on, ends the killing and installs himself as the new messiah taking direct control over Israel. Never saw that coming. :lol:

Re-reading my original post, the quote from Joe wasn't the subject of my comment! The analysis/reporting in question was Hersh's. But then, in war, the first casualty is always truth!

Interesting body language analysis of Trump, as well as how Trump really feels about Netanyahu (at the 10:00 minute mark): Basically, Trump genuinely dislikes all the killing and death, but he has this firm belief that "Iran cannot have nuclear weapons". This body language expert thinks that...
