@Safarnejad_IR And your rebuttals would have zero merit when discussing the points I raised that I shared by others in Iran so maybe just stick to engaging in the actual argument? We’ll see how this MoU plays out and whether you’re honest enough to engage in good faith critiques.

[Sean Smith @Nahsorry90]

@Safarnejad_IR By your logic only resistance fighters can have opinions on these decisions? You happily criticize Syrians who made bad decisions celebrating the fall of Assad. But you’re not Syrian? You have opinions on the Lebanese government but you’re not Lebanese. Just be consistent.

[Sean Smith @Nahsorry90]

@Safarnejad_IR Be honest, would you prefer to live in Australia?

I didn’t think so. I’d trade the relative material comfort (nothing extraordinary) I have to be able to live in a sovereign country. I’m not saying signing an MoU was wrong. It’s just my opinion that Gaza should’ve been included

[Sean Smith @Nahsorry90]

@L18084118 @AbubakerAbedW @araghchi Israel is continuing to bomb Gaza too. And rapidly escalating the ethnic clenasing of the West Bank. Stop making excuses. The reality is this MoU does not include Gaza and Iranian media has confirmed that.

[Sean Smith @Nahsorry90]

@TheLevantineMan @AbubakerAbedW @araghchi They could enforce the ceasefire. That can enforce progression to stage 2 withdrawal. They can enforce a cargo ship worth of aid being brought in via Egypt. It’s a bigger priority than sanctions relief right now and would be the best propaganda win in Iran’s history.

[Sean Smith @Nahsorry90]

@Safarnejad_IR The oil price yes. But the polls are a result of an unpopular war on behalf of a hated country, with no clear justification and that dragged on 3 times longer than promised.

[Sean Smith @Nahsorry90]

@InOurMillionsPS @alon_mizrahi This is true. So at least for moral consistency (and optics) it would have been better to have Gaza included. Whether that was to insist on ceasefire, withdrawal or increased aid. Gazan’s are feeling abandoned again while Marandi pretends like they were included.

[Sean Smith @Nahsorry90]

@alon_mizrahi But Marandi is dishonest and says that Gaza is included in the MoU (on Piers Morgan) because they know prioritizing sanctions relief and unfreezing of cash is a bad look while Gaza starves. Imagine if they had secured one cargo ship of humanitarian aid for Gaza in this deal.

[Sean Smith @Nahsorry90]

@Safarnejad_IR It’s not just Hormuz. Trump needed this agreement now for domestic political reasons. Oil was hovering around $90. He only cared about oil markets when they were $110+. But his polls are in the toilet so he needed to stem the bleeding now. After the midterms that leverage goes.

[Sean Smith @Nahsorry90]

@residentJihadi @Safarnejad_IR @propandco Oh burn you got me good! You’ve done so well to avoid engaging in any of my arguments 👏 all the best to you in your future Twitter fights. I’m sure someone of your caliber you will easily win them all.

[Sean Smith @Nahsorry90]

@Safarnejad_IR Ehsan joon, please read and watch this: https://t.co/TDpAD9g8pz Dr. Ahmadian also disagrees with this argument about Iran not having sufficient leverage

[Alon Mizrahi @alon_mizrahi]

Again I want to note this about Iran and its political culture:

It is clearly uncomfortable and painful for them to talk about Gaza right now. It is not an achievement they can flaunt: they hear the criticism about not including Palestine in their demands.
But, unlike any Western country, where the conversation is always tailored to flatter power, in Iran the discussion is real, and they are not afraid to touch pain points.
The quality of conversation I've seen in Iran in the past couple of days, both in terms of content and attitude, is beyond impressive: it is enviable. Every society needs to aspire to have that kind of spirit, and capability.

I am reminded of how, earlier this year, Ali Khamenei said in a public talk that people who had joined the (Western-Zionist) riots in Iran foolishly, and were not ideologically committed to them, should not be banished from Iranian society; he said Iran had a place for them, too, and people should not be unnecessarily cruel to them.

You do not achieve the kind of strength and resilience Iran demonstrates without building a culture that incorporates wisdom, honesty and courage. And we see that not only in the way Iranians fight or strategize, but the quality of their internal dialogue.

This vilified 'fanatic' culture has more room for honest dissent than any Western country

[Sean Smith @Nahsorry90]

@Safarnejad_IR Imagine if Iran has been able to negotiate one cargo ship of aid to Gaza in this deal? Would be more valuable to Iran’s image than a thousand LEGO videos.

[Sean Smith @Nahsorry90]

@residentJihadi @Safarnejad_IR @propandco Everywhere is someone’s indigenous land. My point was about not fearing hypothetical nukes and that there is zero desire on my part to see this imperial backwater continue existing if it’s predicated on the maintenance of this status quo.

[Sean Smith @Nahsorry90]

@Safarnejad_IR @rosie_luce2 @propandco https://t.co/lsGNb5GiBj Here is Marandi twice saying Gaza is included and the ceasefire must be respected. We both know Iran doesn’t expect that to happen and won’t respond to continued vialiations (900+ dead since ceasefire). Why do you think he feels the need to misrepresent?

[Piers Morgan Uncensored @PiersUncensored]

'The global economy will go over a cliff - because Iran will not be able to abide by its side of the bargain.'

Prod Marandi discusses how he thinks Trump's Iran deal could affect the world.

@Safarnejad_IR @propandco This is just “a fourth country” Ehsan. Freeing Palestine is the core mission of the resistance. If Iran didn’t want to take on the responsibility of defending Palestine then why does it take on the leadership of the axis of resistance? Can’t have it both ways my friend.

[Sean Smith @Nahsorry90]

@Safarnejad_IR @rosie_luce2 @propandco I don’t know if you’re serious, but yes I’d like to. But I have a lot of rescued animals I look after so it won’t be possible for a while. On one of your streams/spaces you mentioned that it’s disingenuous for Iran supporters to claim that the MoU includes Gaza -

[Sean Smith @Nahsorry90]

@rosie_luce2 @Safarnejad_IR @propandco So only people in Iran can criticize Iran? And by that logic on someone living in Tel Aviv is allowed to criticize Israel yes? Be serious. For the record, there is no country I hold in higher esteem than Iran but that is entirely besides the point.

[Sean Smith @Nahsorry90]

@Safarnejad_IR @propandco You really want to play that silly game Ehsan? Maybe you can let the starving orphaned amputated child in Gaza know that Iran prioritized sanctions relief and cash instead of a red line of withdrawal from Gaza. Also, there’s plenty of people in Tehran making similar criticism.

[Sean Smith @Nahsorry90]

@residentJihadi @Safarnejad_IR @propandco Okay because of your heart felt appeal, I won’t nuke Sydney. 🤦‍♂️

[Sean Smith @Nahsorry90]

@Safarnejad_IR @propandco Nahsorry comes from my name Roshan backwards 👍

[Sean Smith @Nahsorry90]

@Safarnejad_IR @propandco For the record I’m Iranian in Australia. I protest and donate. It’s not a lot. I wish I had been born in Iran and could put my skills to use there. Australia is occupied. We get arrested for saying “free Palestine”. It’s pathetic but people are highly uneducated.

[Sean Smith @Nahsorry90]

@Safarnejad_IR @propandco Who cares if they’re nuclear? For all the threats everyone knows they will not use a nuke. And for the record, I would welcome a nuke to hit me right on my head and take out all of Sydney Australia, this god forsaken cesspit of mediocrity and complicity.
