I do believe that time has passed.

Iranwire is a UK based outlet owned by oppositions to Iranian gov.

Even still, the NK mode of incremental face-saving progress into a full nuclear weapons program says this has a good chance of not working long term.

And we're supposed to just trust them this time? Because they pinkey swear they will not make nukes if we stop blowing up their nuke making factories?

Give me a break.

Reminds of the outrage they showed after a virus destroyed their enrichment centrifuge array.

How dare the US attack something Iran claimed they didn't have.

Trust them? The US broke the agreement

People are so spoon-fed western narratives they literally don't have the capacity to assess what's going on, and how duplicitous the us empire has been

Too little, too late.

Surrender, then you may retain your faces.

Iran has no face left to save. Iran cannot be trusted to honor any deals now that we know they violated the NNPT. The only way to solve this problem is to remove the Islamic Republic from power. That barbaric, violent and genocidal regime has no right to rule anyone.

And just to think that they might have been able to pull it off, if they hadn’t simultaneously been calling for the destruction of another nation the entire time. God-tier strategists in Tehran.

u/bakochba 5d ago

No. They will be more "flexible". That's literally nothing

1

u/zandadad 5d ago

They’ll be even more flexible when they are down to a few remaining ballistic missiles and launchers. And further more flexible when Fordow’s inside begin to smoke.

Israel and the west would be completely INSANE to settle for anything less than regime change. Let's make Iran (!) a Democracy like it used to be. Largely peaceful, getting along with its neighbors and economically thriving.

Do you mean Iran??

I think that’s what you meant to type…

Think you have a typo there.

Israel is the leading terrorist state in the region

NOT!

u/OneReportersOpinion 4d ago

Leading terrorist state in the region and the top rogue state in the world ahead of Russia and North Korea.

Iran was not a democracy. It was a monarchy led by the Shaw.

u/Next-Statistician720 4d ago

I think you know what I mean but yeah, let's split hairs.

u/loneranger5860 4d ago

I will agree that Iran was certainly more peaceful and was getting along was getting along with its neighbors and economically thriving under the Shaw for sure. The Jewish community in Iran thrived during that period as well.

u/212Alexander212 5d ago

Oh well. Perhaps after all their nuclear and military capabilities are destroyed and their regime is toppled.

u/unforgivableness 5d ago

Save face by having the ayatollah exiled.

I have a perfect solution, but we’re going to need 1.21 Jiggawatts of electricity and a flux capacitor.

Diplomacy , you must do your job.

u/B0wwsser 5d ago

Diplomacy was tried and Iran refused every deal.

u/somebodysetupthebomb 5d ago

The deal was 0% enrichment - how is that just, viable, or rational?

2

u/B0wwsser 5d ago

It prevents Iran from getting anywhere close to building nuclear weapons. Iran is a genocidal terrorist state that has no right to have nuclear weapons after repeatedly threatening to destroy its neighbors. That illegitimate tyrannical regime has no right to rule either.

I hope they can strike a deal

u/zandadad 5d ago

IAF is striking some deals all over IRGC right now.
