    Just wait, Cuba's next. Trump has gone full blown war hawk. What a liar he was in his campaign speeches. He wants to rule the world in a right wing Authoritarian way. He's a sociopath/psychopath gone even more mad with his thirst for power, control, and revenge.

    Iran have done all what they should had done in the past 12 days war.

    Remaining cards"

    A shiite revolts in Bahrain and Kuwait is very achievable

    Allowing limited Kurdish forces into Westren Iran will force Turkish intervention

    Ground penetration by Hezboallah

    Using all/some of the above to buy time to assemble nuclear weapons or dirty warheads at least

    some soothing sound effects

    Incorrect. They should have immediately contacted the US and Israel and sued for peace, disbanding the regime and turning the country over to an interim occupation government that would then hold free and fair elections.

    Unlikely, and ultimately pointless. They don't really gain much if Bahrain and Kuwait are thrown into civil war.
    Kurdish forces have been in defacto contol of a large portion of Iraq without Turkish intervention, no reason to think the same cannot happen in Iran.
    Ground penetration of what? Israel? The best they could possibly hope to accomplish is something on the scale of the October 7th attacks. Though tragic, we have seen that those attacks did not bring about any particular strategic victory. Maybe some more meaningless UN resolutions would be thrown at Israel for defending itself.
    They haven't been able to do it when they weren't being bombed. I don't think it will be happening now.
    When your propagandists start posting videos of FAILED attacks to show the strength of your cause, you should take the hint that the cause is lost.

    This is hands down one of the dumbest things you ever said. You know absolutely nothing about Iran or the IRGC to compare the two. You have to be the world's biggest dumbass to think the kurds can occupy large portions of Iran.

    Propaganda defence label to whatever you don't like might help you sleep at night in a very harsh reality.

    I forgot to add :
    Blowing up Water distillation stations in the region will be catastrophic, easy soft targets. (Zionest State drinking water uses it for 70-90%).

    Secertery of war was clearly begs for so called : reliable allies, wasn't his desperation so obvious to you for a reason!



    you should be at least skeptic!

    almost 2000 Israeli were brought to hospitals in a rare Israeli over controlled news announcement

    a Video to Hezboallah attack from close distance yesterday

    You're right , then in a few months Israel could have bombed them again and claimed (without evidence) that the new government was days away from a nuke.

    Do we even have free and fair elections in the US ?

    Not according to our president ( if its an election he loses )

    I would ask you to think about the logic of your position, but i know thats asking too much.

    Being against an invasion of a sovereign country that poses no significant threat to you does not mean you support their government. It could mean you support international law, or alternatively it could you mean you expect elected leaders to govern as they said they would during their campaign.

    Why do you debate with someone who is being intellectually dishonest with you.

    I said Kurds invading Iran doesn't automatically lead to Turkish intervention, just as Kurds occupying a portion of Iraq has not led to Turkish intervention. My statement has nothing to do with the ability of Kurds to occupy large portions of Iran, though I can understand why it can be read that way.
    The US is not in Iran's position. Iran is getting pummeled and their supreme leader is dead. If the US was at the mercy of another country that had total air superiority, they had blown up the President and when Congress convened to swear in the Vice President they blew up that meeting, and there was zero chance of the US having any ability to meaningfully impact the nation attacking them, then yes, the US would be wise in suing for peace and allowing an interim government to take over and hold free and fair elections. Instead, the US is the world superpower. Of course in our current position the US is not going to surrender.
    When Egypt and Jordan sued for peace with Israel, they got it. There have not been major conflicts between them in the decades since. It is quite apparent that Israel can be a perfectly reasonable partner in diplomacy with Muslim states.

    If he does.. its because he's up to something else. Trump is the king of distraction, he has everyone concentrating on the right hand when you should be watching the left.

    Everything about him reeks of the big corrupt grift. I have no doubt that he and his family are making a fortune off of those "deals" and tit for tat favors around the globe.
