Isn't it strange that the Iranian Army hasn't yet issued a call for military mobilization, and that Iranian men can now travel abroad so easily? Am I the only one who thinks this is contradictory given the current state of war they are in?

The Turkish borders are open. An Iranian friend has just arrived in Türkiye from Tahran by bus.
That is not a land war like ukraine one,military mobilized infantry cant do anything.

I don't think that Trump bothers to check with advisors that his proposals are viable before posting on his social media platform. This idea of knocking out Iran's electricity generating capacity does not sound practical whereas Iran may be able to black out much of the Gulf countries more centralised generating capacity relatively easily. Trump has dug himself a hole with this war and appears to be unable to stop digging.

Would Trump and whoever wields the power in Iran be prepared to listen to some third party with a view to halting the damage being done to security in the area and to the regional and world economies? It does not look like America can achieve its aim of ending the regime in Iran. It does not look like America can exert any influence over what Iran does with its stock of enriched uranium. However much it strikes Iran, it does not look like the US can change either of those two situations. That was the purpose of the US attacking Iran, was it not?

Unless someone can persuade Trump to stop, this war could go on for some time, with damaging consequences to most of the countries in the world.

I'm rather pessimistic about the future.
It seems he's about to abandon all of his Middle Eastern allies besides Israel.

Was Diego Garcia attack a false flag mission by Israel 🇮🇱?
Any radar powerful can easily read ballistic misile trajectory - where it comes from and where it goes.

So this conspiracy is even dumber than 6 finger dead Bibi conspiracy.

President Donald Trump has said the United States and Iran have held “productive conversations” over the weekend and that he will hold off military strikes against Iranian power and energy sites for five days.

Writing in all capital letters on Truth Social, Trump said he made the decision to postpone the threatened attacks based on the “tone and tenor” of the discussions.

“I AM PLEASE TO REPORT THAT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND THE COUNTRY OF IRAN, HAVE HAD, OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS, VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST,” Trump wrote.

“BASED ON THE TENOR AND TONE OF THESE IN DEPTH, DETAILED, AND CONSTRUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS, WITCH (sic) WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, I HAVE INSTRUCTED THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR TO POSTPONE ANY AND ALL MILITARY STRIKES AGAINST IRANIAN POWER PLANTS AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A FIVE DAY PERIOD, SUBJECT TO THE SUCCESS OF THE ONGOING MEETINGS

He successed low the oil price to under 100, so what is the next, agree the Iran's proposed conditions to end the war, or say such bullshit words once a week?

Escalate to deescalate. Oldest trick in the book.

Iran again attacked the Israeli cities of Tel Aviv, Kiryat Gat, and Ashkelon with ballistic missiles of an unknown type. It's worth noting that, for an unknown reason, Tel Aviv's air defenses were down. It's possible the Israeli army has begun using air defense missiles more sparingly due to the difficulty of defeating ballistic missiles. The targets of the Iranian missile strikes have not been reported.

TACO in action. But what matters for Trump is that his lies reduce the price of oil for a while, so in the end, his trick worked.

4 ambulances used by a Jewish charity set on fire during the night in a north London suburb with a large Jewish population, As they burned, several medical gas bottles (O2, N2O etc?) in them exploded.

The mayor of London condemned the arson attack. No organisation is reported to have claimed responsibility.

I imagine that this attack would not have taken place without the war against Iran.

Iran reportedly denies that any talks between itself and the US took place.

I expect the US to send their troops to the island with Iranian Gas installation. to gain control over it. and prevent Iran from having income from export.

Only question is if Iran has other installations that can refine and export GAS.

If US gains control over the island, Does Iran have what it takes to bomb it themselves, and there by render control of the island redundant. Alternatively US and Israel will bomb other refineries and export ports to make sure Iran has only that Island installation left. to force them to the negotiation table.

Just my thoughts.

still it wont justify this attack the problem with Arabs is that they are all collectivist and individualism doesn't exist for them what is the fault of those jews who are living peacefully in London ?? if they are so brave they can always come to gaza and fight IDF. this is the most dangerous place when people act and be act upon based on their tribalism

Nothing I wrote in my post implied the attack on the Jewish ambulances in London was justified. I said I imagined that the attack would not have taken place without the war in Iran. The attack was condemned by the British prime minister. It was also condemned by the Muslim mayor of London. I condemn it just as I condemn attacks on ambulances in Gaza, Israel or anywhere else in the world.

I'm not accusing you of anything I'm just pointing out a problem in Arab communities

And we should trust you, because Jews are trustworthy people? Is it possible to pay Iranians, to fire on Türkiye or Diego Garcia island?
