Iranian Air Defense Systems

JCPOA was not a treaty and thus not legal binding.

Iran’s fault for negotiating something that is not legally binding on the other party or at the very least repurcussion for quiting.

Lastly Fordow and Arak should have been renovated at certain points of deal not right in beginning, Iran lost all leverage.
Fair enough, I know it wasn’t a treaty, if it was it would have never passed in the Republican controlled congress at that time. We trusted the international system and lost. However, the JCPOA was an agreement in the UNSC, which used to mean something.

If we're being completely practical here, the notion that international treaties/accords and or bodies like the UN matter when nations like US/China/Israel and Russia and many others do what they want anyway is naive on the part of us 'regular' people. We should simply accept the reality in which we live in and move on knowing that things are gonna be like this for a little while (honestly man, it's been like this since the dawn of man: it wont change). There is no rule of law, only rule of power.

Hindsight is always 20/20, Iran made a HORRIBLE strategic decision with the JCPOA. Let's hope to high heavens Iran doesn't make that mistake EVER again.

Just one main news:

Talash operating outside the S-200 system will get a Meraj-4 as long range search radar. That would be one component of the Bavar-373 shown I guess.

It also means that after equipping S-200 with Talash's Sayyad-2/3, the IRIADF will probably set up more batteries of Talash, which would act as "city air defense" assets with no heavy off-road capability such as the Bavar-373. Their Meraj-4 will surely improve radar picture for the Bavar-373.

Iran can't be concerned with America's internal politics & squabbles. From Iran's point of view, the P5 +1 including the USA wanted Iran to go along with the nuclear deal in exchange for sanctions relief. Historically in the US, presidents tend to uphold international agreements such as the nuclear deal.

At the end of the day, the US, via Trump, back stabbed Iran. Trump withdrew from the nuclear deal not because it's beneficial for America or the average American, but rather because he's a puppet of the Rothschild family. In the 80's Trump's financial situation was extreme dire, with Trump facing an imminent bankruptcy. It was the Rothschild's who bailed him out. At this point he has no choice but to do what he's told.

Right now, with gasoline prices going through the roof, it's unlikely that Trump will cancel the waivers for the remaining nations buying Iranian oil. Keep in mind that Iran is selling a significant amount of oil through the backdoor, however if this trend continues to escalate, with additional pressure mounting on Iran, then Iran will eventually have no choice but to withdraw from the nuclear deal & take the North Korean route. It won't take Iran very long to begin enriching Uranium on a large scale & it's very unlikely that the US will do anything militarily. Despite all the threats, all the fire & fury bluff & bluster, the US has never acted military against North Korea. Iran won't be any different

In any case, in the long run, looking at the big picture, these sanctions may in fact end up being a blessing in disguise. It may sound ludacris at the moment however, look at Saudi Arabia for example. Despite all their efforts & lofty goals, their economy is completely dependent on oil revenues, hands down. Iran is also dependent on oil revenues however these sanctions are forcing Iran to cope with a reality without oil revenues. In the next 20-30 years, as electric cars become more & more popular, the demand for gasoline from the average consumer will slowly but surely diminish. Saudi Arabia produces 10 million barrels a day & they're pumping like there's no tomorrow with no tangible plans to wean off oil dependence. On the other hand these sanctions that are being imposed on Iran are forcing the nation to become less dependent on oil & focus on other potential sectors, alternative means of producing revenue. Basically in the long run, as global demand for gasoline diminishes, because of the pressures that Iran is currently experiencing, Iran will be in a much better position to cope than say a country like Saudi Arabia

On the other hand, Iran is only under threat because it is is involving itself in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, rather than leaving it up to Arabs to figure out. Some will argue that Iran's current foreign policy is not in Iran's national interest. However at the end of the day, the ruling establishment have a die hard support base. Iran is over 90% Shia Muslim so when groups like Hezbollah plead for help, a large segment of Iranian society wants to respond. At the end of the day though, the whole "death to America" slogan & Ahmadinejad's speeches against Israel only assist Iran's enemies to antagonize & demonize Iran to the people in the west. Like Obama said, "death to America" doesn't create jobs. Look at the Americans, they ravage & decimate entire nations, however they don't send people out in public to burn flags & create a negative image. Even if the mullah's want to be successful in their endeavors, for example, helping the Palestinians, liberating Golan, etc the best way to move forward is to make moves, yet simultaneously avoid creating negative imagery / soundbites that can be used by Iran's enemies as ammunition against Iran & its economy / people.

Agreed.Relying on the force of international law and trusting in the good will of your enemies seems like a very foolish choice for iran,indeed the last 100 years of recent history should make this clear beyond all doubt.
Attempts at compromise,or worse appeasement,will not work when it comes to dealing with neo fascists like the chumpists and their fellow travelers/vassals,they will only perceive it to be weakness,and showing weakness in front of sub-human creatures like this can be fatal.
The more time goes by the less iran has to lose by going nuclear.I think a lot will ultimately depend on whether the chump regime gets a second term or not.

Another detail: IRIADF is now using the Kavosh/Kasta of the IRGC (which the IRGC copied from their Kasta).

Their Iranized HAWK PAR variant for Mersad is also called Kavosh and also works in UHF band.
Hence it seems like they selected it as a general gapfiller, since the Mersad already has that PAR as UHF search radar.

Generally beside the MoF series, foremost the MoF-2, the Kavosh/Kasta is introduced in very high numbers in Iran. It is now Irans main gapfilling radar to secure valleys against low flying intruders, foremost CM's.
