US seemed to request ceasefire to give it a chance to surrender. Iran said no. But US should be allowed to know/negotiate $ amount requested.

To be consistent with 2-3 week "stone age" campaign, then retreat without peace, no ground troops can be used.

DNC, if it had any anti-war, Israel constraining of maximum evil, could portray some anti-cruelty arguments in the form of political points: massive daily operations budget, high wounded/casualties of US troops being sitting ducks in the region for threat of ground invasions, which DOD is lying about, damage to global oil/GCC product supplies both from Iran to the stone age, and Iran retaliations vs Zionazi axis, including slow to replace global ship inventory, and another 2-3 weeks of starvation of world supplies, or US gas/diesel prices if that is all that matters.

Straights of Hormuz are only closed as long as US remains in the area. World will easily come to agreement on opening SoH after the US leaves. World needs to make this point more forcefully.

In this episode of Photo Evidence, we break down that imagery to understand what was actually hit, and how effective these attacks really were.

From US air bases in Jordan and Saudi Arabia to radar sites in Qatar, naval headquarters in Bahrain, and a command post in Kuwait, the images reveal the scale and precision of Iran’s response.

By comparing before-and-after imagery, we assess what these strikes tell us about Iran’s strategy, and what they may reveal about the balance of power in the war so far.

Zionazi pump (with everything closed for a month ffs) is now dumping. Elbit toxic refinery in flames could be a problem.

LNG means higher natural gas prices for Americans as it is exported to other more profitable markets. Less wind means needing more fossil fuel powered electricity, also raising electricity and heating costs.

Closure of US military bases is easy if they are destroyed and US would have to fund their repair.

I'm sure proxy funding is dependent on Israel behaving.

Financial compensation is fundamentally key to peace/surrender of US in conflict. If US can replace this with very high price per kg of uranium, it can spin it as denuclearization victory, but its all the same cash payment. In Yuan.

everyone's best friend, Israel, being responsible for attack on joing US/UK base could lead reasonable people to reassess friendship. USS Liberty did not cause such re-evaluation.

Iran denied firing it.

Permanent peace in Iran/GCC can be achieved with little to no US/Israel cooperation.

Reopening Straights of Hormuz

When US withdraws all troops/ships, a coalition including Iran can ensure free passage of shipping. Less than military escorts, a gulf cooperation agreement with heavy Chinese support, but including Russia and EU and others interested in security and trade with the gulf.

China

China is key in that a common defensive union with Iran protects all members from Iran, if China can be convinced that Iran acts unfairly. China can bring significant investment to the region as well as missile defense to protect region from Israel.

EU Russia

EU needs friendly trade with Gulf. Russia can sell air defense and other military equipment.

Nuclear proliferation

Zionist aligned nations accept a high priority for denuclearizing Iran. Selling Iran's enriched uranium to qualified highest bidder accomplishes this while also providing reparations to Iran even if not directly paid by US/Israel.

Zionaziism

Religious supremacism pretending a divine right above the rules of civilization, namely the murder and disposession of land must be declared hate speech by defense alliance. It should also be a constitutional requirement for any UN member. Jews that covet other's land are free to pray for it or make a purchase offer.

The US and Israel have already declared victory by meeting all of their conditions, and so can GTFO with pride. To satisfy Iran, international community can step in, and realign Gulf towards peace and defense from both future Israel hostility, and internal infighting.
