It is hard to believe US agree to pay $300 billion to Iran, even the agreement will be break by Israel just like before.
That is mean US had lost this war.

From what I read it says the allies agreed to finance reconstruction cost up to 300 billion USD. So if you ask me, I am pretty damn sure US is going to wipe that burden on KSA, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait and even Qatar.

This is due to the US bases in these countries that contributed to attacking Iran. Maybe US will take some of the debt as well because they started the whole damn thing with Israel.

But let's see I imagine that the investment the mentioned arab countries were going to make in US might end up going to settling the debt.

Personally I think these arab countries should push to reduce US troops on their soil and not permit weapons of attack to be deployed and only defence measures. After what happened. But considering how much they were at the mercy of what Iran was capable of I imagine they will pay US for keeping bases and such.

Iran deal presents political nightmare for Netanyahu​


The US ceasefire agreement with Iran has presented Israel's prime minister with a political nightmare, smashing the three cornerstones of Benjamin Netanyahu's political career, and leaving him trapped in a new security dilemma.

How can the man who styled himself as the political whisperer of Washington, with real influence over American politicians, be sidelined quite so comprehensively and insulted so publicly by his key US ally?

How can the man who made taking on Iran the centre-piece of Israel's security policy end the war with Iran's regime arguably in a stronger position?

And how can his old, tarnished political image as Israel's "Mr Security" survive the demand from Washington and Tehran that Israel cease attacking Hezbollah in Lebanon, months before an Israeli general election?

The options facing Netanyahu now are not good. They were summarised by the opposition leader, Yair Lapid, in the Knesset on Monday as "either a direct and destructive confrontation with our greatest ally, or a submissive surrender of Israeli interests".

The expletive-laden assessment by US President Donald Trump that Netanyahu showed no judgement when ordering a strike on Beirut on Sunday has been seized upon by his political rivals and media commentators, already focused on the election that must be held before the end of October.

But comments from members of Netanyahu's own Likud party, and far-right cabinet ministers in his governing coalition, also show the pressure he faces from his own side - most sharply over the demand from Tehran that the ceasefire covers "military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon".

"Trump's agreement does not bind us," Israel's far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, wrote on social media on Monday. "We are not partners to this agreement that does not ensure our security."

"Israel will continue to protect itself," Likud lawmaker Ariel Kallner told me, though he would not clarify whether that meant Israel would continue its attacks.

"We will do what we need to do. And we expect our friends to understand us," he said. "Sometimes there are disagreements between allies, and allies should also understand their allies when they are in danger."

Sima Shine, a former Mossad official and Iran specialist said: "It's difficult to understand why the Americans accepted it.

"By allowing Iran to decide what will happen in Lebanon, the US is giving Iran the possibility to continue to support Hezbollah, and to make sure that Hezbollah is a major political actor in the Lebanese arena.

"Israel is not happy with that – neither the security establishment, nor the political," she said.

Amid the cacophony of criticism and outrage from across the political spectrum, Israel's prime minister bristled at suggestions from journalists on Monday night that he had failed.

"I have devoted most of my adult life to one goal—preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons," he said during a press conference in Jerusalem.

"We will do what is necessary. I do not limit myself in any way on this goal: Iran will not have nuclear weapons."

But he also admitted there were cases in which he and Trump saw things differently.

"I have expressed my views in discussions, but we have our own interests: first, no nuclear threat; second, Lebanon - we created a buffer zone and will remain there as long as necessary," he said.

"Iran wanted us to withdraw - that did not happen. You know why? Because I stood very firm. Our American allies respect that determination. We also insist on preserving our operational freedom - if we are attacked or threatened, we respond."

Often quick to claim victory, Israel's prime minister now faces a difficult task in deciding his next steps.

Security has been the cornerstone of Netanyahu's offering to voters for decades. That is an increasingly difficult message to deliver.

His response to the devastating Hamas-led attacks on 7 October 2023 was to shift Israel's security policy to a more aggressive approach – pre-empting threats rather than containing them.

Changing the Middle East by removing the threats Israel faced was his solution to that crisis.

But even though Israeli forces have demolished much of Gaza and killed more than 73,000 people, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, Hamas is still in control of half the territory and reasserting its power there, while a US-brokered peace plan and a US-appointed administration for Gaza remain stuck in limbo, eight months after Israel and Hamas agreed a ceasefire.

Hamas remains in control of half of Gaza
Netanyahu's new approach to security has left Israeli forces occupying large areas of Gaza, Lebanon and Syria. That's popular with many Israelis and unlikely to end before the election, but is also stretching Israel's military resources and reservists to breaking point, with no clear diplomatic pathway out.

Repeated rounds of conflict with Hezbollah and the Iranian regime have not eliminated Israel's key enemies, but left Tehran in the hands of more hardline leaders, with less fear of US-Israeli might, and greater leverage through the Strait of Hormuz.

Now Israel's arch-enemy appears to be the one with influence over Israel's key ally.

"Israel's failure requires a renewed assessment of its strategy towards Tehran. [It] must formulate more realistic and restrained priorities," according to Danny Citrinowicz, a senior Iran researcher at Israel's Institute for National Security Studies (INSS).

"Any Israeli military move perceived in Washington as an attempt to sabotage the agreement is expected to encounter a harsh response from the US, he said in an article for the daily newspaper Israel Hayom.

"Unlike during the Obama administration, when Benjamin Netanyahu could try to bypass the White House by mobilising support in Congress and in US public opinion, those options barely exist at this time."

Netanyahu's pitch to Israeli voters has long been that his policies and political skills are the best protection from regional threats; that promise looks increasingly overtaken by events.

Regime change in Iran might have rescued his political image and his election narrative. Instead, his new security approach has left him facing the choice of confrontation or surrender, not with an enemy, but with an ally.

With the anglo-american zionist axis, much of what the public is allowed to see in my in mind is no more then theatre. The agenda to balkanise the region is old, its not originally a Jewish agenda, its a British/French agenda that was taken over by the USA and then pushed most aggressively via proxy that is the fictitious isreali state, whose people are mostly of eastern european origin who found Judaism because of the Khazar Turk ruling class who instituted it at the time of the 7th century.

A good example of this agenda is the support of the pkk and creating a kurdistan. It never changed course over the decades, didn't matter who was in power and the media attention it got incrementally kept inching more and more towards communist terrorists being the good guys and NATO ally Turkiye being the islamist enemy.

Anyway, the point is this "conflict" of ambitions is just a smokescreen, the americans/isrealis are entirely on the same page. Sometimes they play this game either to deceive their enemies, to deceive their domestic populations, or sometimes they realise they have to take a step back because their foe has made good moves. B ut taking a step back here and there to make further gains in the future, is still the same agenda playing out.

So the americans sell the illusion of trying to find a deal, full well knowing isreal will break the deal. But the key in this that whenever isreal breaks the deals they face no consequences from their allies for it. No sanctions, no embargoes, no reduced support. So why wouldn't they break they the "deals?".

Its illusion, there is no conflicts between the USA/Isreal, at this point they are one and the same thing.

As much as i would love to see these filthy Epstein class criminals fail in their regional wars, i've seen too much to know to never to fall for it.

People should also remember the anglo-american axis destroyed Ghaddafi by first making him believe they are accepting him back into the international fold.

No one said we will destroy IRGC. That's typical strawman. Here what I actually said in the beginning of the war (11 March):

BTW I don't think Trump wants a regime change. He just wants to make some deal. That's why he is not attacking their main assets, to leave it as negotiation card.
And I was right.

BTW in 12 day war Israel acted practically alone vs. Iran. We destroyed their air defense achieving air superiority, killed their top generals, hundreds of IRGC, destroyed their major nuclear sites and missile bases. All they could do is kill some civilians in Israel.

BREAKING: President Trump publicly rebukes Israel over its war against Hezbollah.

"Israel's fighting Hezbollah too long and too many people are being killed."

Trump said he opposed strikes that destroy apartment buildings filled with civilians and revealed he urged Israel to let Syria take the lead against Hezbollah instead.

"If Israel can't do the job without killing everyone else, he'll do the job. Syria will do the job."

Start of 2026 Iran was an oppressive state oppressing its people.

March 2026 US and Israel attack Iran. provoking death and destruction in Iran, Israel, Lebanon, states of the Gulf and Palestine (murders by Jewish settlers) and provoking closure of the strait of Hormuz, severely disrupting world energy supply.

June 2026 Iran is an oppressive state oppressing its people.
Iran may at any point close the strait of Hormuz again.

The war was a great idea, wasn't it?

It ain't finished yet. Netanyahu may pull some kind of joker to start the fire again. The only thing that hasn't been bombed yet (and is of value) is the energy infrastructure.

We dropped about 15,000 bombs on Iranian military targets without losing a single soldier or plane. Thats good enough.

We also saved Syrian people from real genocide carried by Iran. First when we pushed Trump to end the Obama deal and second when we destroyed Hezbollah.

The question is ALWAYS, what exactly you have won, and what exactly you have lost.
