Follows earlies reports from Rosatom that contact with the leadership of Iran’s nuclear industry has been lost.

Again, the thing about Hezbollah posting a suicide note, it’s not just rethoric.
I might as well post these scenes:
I am too, Maria. This is another completely needless war, which will only bring more death and suffering. It could have been avoided with a minimum of patience, sense of diplomacy and good faith. But as we already know, neither Netanyahou nor Trump have an ounce of it. As long as these agents of chaos are in power, such things will go on (needless to say that the now killed Ayatollah was entirely devoid of these qualities too).

Commentary on the difficulties the Islamic Republic now faces in picking leaders, as particularly Israel, is quite obviously trying to kill everyone in leadership positions.
A cowboy comment, but kind of true.
Sigh
Sunni/Shia conflict as well at the heart of it then.
Unfortunately, regime change was always the real objective the talks and all the public posturing were just window dressing to say, “Well, we tried.” What we’re seeing now is the result of dealing with two bullies in Bibi and Trump, and there’s no international body not NATO or anyone else with the courage to call it out for what it really is.
When Keir Starmer was asked whether the war was legal, he effectively deferred to the United States rather than offering a firm legal position of his own. Meanwhile, I can’t ignore what feels like a glaring double standard in how morality is applied on the global stage. I watch Western nations invoke international law and moral language with absolute clarity when condemning Russia and rightly so and yet that same clarity seems to blur when the conversation turns to Gaza, Venezuela, or Iran. The principles suddenly become negotiable. The urgency softens. The language shifts.
From where I sit, it feels selective as if morality is not a compass but a tool, taken out when convenient and shelved when inconvenient. And that inconsistency unsettles me deeply. It erodes trust in the very institutions that claim to uphold a rules-based order. When powerful nations investigate themselves, judge themselves, and absolve themselves, it doesn’t feel like justice it feels like insulation.
I find myself feeling increasingly hopeless about where this trajectory leads us as a society. If international law is applied unevenly, if moral outrage depends on alliances rather than principles, then what exactly anchors the system? What does “right” or “wrong”even mean if it shifts depending on who is acting?
Both points make sense. Has there been any confirmation of the downing the SUs?
My gutfeel is that there’s a deal between Trump and Putin already in place. Putin gets what he wants in Ukraine and in return, he stops whatever support he gives to Iran. He probably realizes that Iran is a lost cause.
What I meant is whenever an attack or something occurs you’ll get social media blowhards suggesting it’s always Mossad.
Iranians haven’t exactly made it easy for themselves too. They overreached themselves massively with their funding of Hezbollah and Hamas.
This is terrifying, and this why anyone with a sober mind should have stopped US & Israel.
It just doesn’t show the ascendency of the IRGC over a legitimate, and moderate government, it shows the first signs of a fracturing authority. Over time, there could be a dozen of armed groups armed with drones, missiles, and kamikaze speedboats.
I can only agree wholeheartedly, although IRGC does indeed now operate on their own seperate from Iranian foreign ministry (they claim to not be in contact with IRGC war fighting arm).
What will come out of this, how the war spreads, it is up in the air and so hard to predict. It’s a can of worms. And it was so, so unecessary to open it to say the least.
And as i predicted. The mercenary country is willing to earn money from their overlords.
Very depressing news coming from my countrymen in the region. Food, and other essentials are running low. A lot (hundreds of thousands) are fearing that their jobs will be terminated as the projects they now work in will not be a priority.
I would not say that it is at the heart of it, but part of what makes it complicated. Many Sunni’s remember the Syrian Civil War very well.
India delinked itself from their investments majoriy in Chabhar a while back too.
Can’t help but feel this is indeed a well thought out plan by most of the countries. Doesn’t seem to be a misadventure. At this point, Iran is well and truly isolated.
