Iranian Chill Thread

[RΛIDEN]

My grandmothers sister who was nearly 60, passed away from COVID in Tehran last night.

Iran is very behind compared to countries like the US where at least half the population has been vaccinated in some form.

Add in the poor not consistent healthcare system and terrible population of major city centers like Tehran and you have a population very vulnerable to COVID.

I'm very sorry to hear that. Last year one of my uncles died to Covid. He was almost 60 and a heavy smoker. In Tehran the pollution and heat are overwhelming by themselves and unfortunately right now because of the Indian (delta) variant there is a 5th wave.

In the US some people refuse to get vaccinated and the government has to pay them $100 to do it. Meanwhile in countries like Iran people are desperate to get vaccinated and some people can't wait. In Poland they can't even convince 50% of the people to get vaccinated. The world is such a strange place.

My condolences and prayers for both of your family members, brother Immortal & Sha ah...

It's effectively a dead accord and the Israelis killed it so mission accomplished I guess lol.

Tell you the truth, i'm just sitting here patiently waiting for when the real fireworks show gets started so we can see who comes out on top in the Middle-East. There is no way those Zionist goofs are going to let Iran's deliberate escalation go unanswered but then again, one of Israel's life-blood (sea-trade) is at dire risk if they pursue even more drastic hostile actions. At-least we can say that in this area, there is a (somewhat) equal tit-for-tat going on. Iran's sea-borne capabilities, missile range and drone prowess has shown itself to be a really dangerous threat to anyone and they don't have a good answer to it.

Is what it is man....

But I would wager that this time around, given Iran newly displayed technical capabilities. They're going to measure their response, hopefully.

Nature of IRI under Khamenei goes against everything the West stands for. There will never be any stable deal as long IRI goes against Western principles. The only way this conflict can get solved is either IR stands down, close to zero under the current supreme leader, or the West backtracks due to economic considerations which is also very unlikely.

Let me narrow it down further : IRI is in a conflict with the hawkish Republican party members in the US. These people and Israel will never allow IRI to get away with its revolutionary path.

If the word of a nations government is effectively worth nothing,and it either cant or wont provide actual guarantees in lieu of its worthless word,then what on earth is the point of even attempting negotiating anything with such a totally untrustworthy and unreliable entity in the first place?.
Ironically tho`,the biden regime expects THAT iran will give guarantees of future negotiations involving not only the backbone of its strategic and national defence capabilities,ie its deterrent missile forces,but also its regional foreign and military policies,funny that,eh?
Perhaps someone should give Sleepy Joe the exact same response that his own iran envoy said on the subject of political guarantees "There is no such thing as a guarantee; that’s not in the nature of diplomacy."
I guess when it really comes right down to it,theres really nothing quite like good old,bad old,bloodthirsty western hypocrisy at its vilest.

Congress is a nations word, not the executive branch. There is even legality debate on how much power an executive order can have and if these are even truly legal.

The issue here is the even Democrats don’t want a fair Iran nuclear deal let alone the Republicans. I suspect that a fair share of congressmen secretly want detente with Iran, but that is blasphemous talk with the Zionist Lobbyists controlling their career and re election prospects. It’s basically blind devotion at this point similar to Iran’s devotion to Palestinian resistance groups at all costs (even when they betrayed us during the initial days of the Syrian civil war).

The issue is until detente with Iran outweighs the benefits of US-Israel relationship you won’t have a true change in the relationship.

It already does. Having a full blown stable relationship with IRI is much more beneficial to the entire Middle East and beyond than having relations with a tiny state surrounded by hostile states.

What did the US get out of supporting Israel in these 6 decades? It just produced war, terror, misery and destruction. Perhaps there will be a new generation of US politicians who will try it the other way. Who knows.

My view is that we iraninan and all who love this country should reset our heads and bury this nasty jcpoa subject or any deal with the west..lets look forward and instead of focusing on what went wrong offer solution to iran economic problems. I have always said that for a country such as iran foreign trade is not priority..iran is self sufficient in every thing a prosperous country needs (ok may be not the latest iPhone..!!) Turkey needs foreign trade iran does not...foreign trade is good but not necessary for iran.

Iran needs competent resource management to accomplish "resistance economy"..just look at today's "made in iran" thread...japs did not sell iran petrochemical compressor..so iran reverse engineered theirs..improved it and valla..that is "resistance economy"..fock the US ..fock Europe..so demand proper management from this new government....it is soooooo doable..just needs some elbow grease..

That’s because no US president can legally make those guarantees. It’s like Raisi making guarantees when Khamenai can override him in 2 months or 2 days or 2 seconds.

These are executive orders and thus can be removed by any president at a future date.

If you want guarantees you need a legally binding treaty which requires 2/3’s of Congress approval. Which good luck getting that passed in this Zionist Congress. You have a better chance making it snow in the desert.

then US should'nt enter any deal with Iran IN THE FIRST PLACE. ungenuine! if you cant actually keep your word, you dont give it, simple.

Khameini is right- US is duplicitous. its not Iran's problem that US has internal issues that lets it not keep its word while cheating other countries via illegal sanctions, boycotts, embargoes etc.

US time is up as sole global bully..US is a broke country, that now has to take care of itself if it wants to survive China.

Is this a false flag attack or has Iran captured another British tanker ? So far Iran is denying that it is involved with this incident. Allegedly the ship has been ordered to sail to Iran.

Iran-backed forces seize tanker, maritime sources say; Iran denies it

Iranian-backed forces are believed to have seized an oil tanker in the Gulf off the coast of the United Arab Emirates, three maritime security sources said, after Britain's maritime trade agency reported a "potential hijack" in the area on Tuesday.

Seizure of Asphalt Princess sees Tehran accused of second shipping attack in a week as Britain, US and Israel threaten to strike back

www.telegraph.co.uk

So far the "Asphalt Princess", the bitumen tanker in question, seems to be sitting idle in between Iranian and Omani waters. It's very close to Iranian territorial waters but it's not moving. You can see it highlighted by a white circle in the middle of the picture.

Well when you include the fact that "8-9 armed men" boarded the british tanker, who do you think is involved? i highly doubt Iran doesnt know who those armed men are....almost like Iran's version of Russia's "little green men". Hmm...this is a tense, sensitive situation..what if it doesnt enter IRanian waters as instructed?? hmm...

 

[sha ah]

How could the tanker crew not follow instructions if the ship has been seized by force ?

What I'm wondering is why would Iran capture that ship and then let it sit there idle ?

Why not immediately take it into Iranian territorial waters and even have it escorted by the Iranian navy or Revolutionary Guard navy ?

At this point I find this incident to be highly suspicious. It's not out of the realm of possibility that the Israelis and their allies are trying to set up another Gulf of Tonkin style incident.
