The war benefited Iran in at least one aspect: The overt attention given to Iran for the last 50 days has completely shattered the fabricated image that Israeli-affiliated media had crafted of the country for decades.
Many people have now realized that:
1- Iran is not run by mad apocalyptic “mullahs". Many Iranian officials are sophisticated technocrats, steeped in political science, literature, mathematics, international relations, and philosophy. They hold PhDs and strong academic credentials from renowned universities, and have actually authored books on Immanuel Kant, negotiations and governance. In fact, they are much more sophisticated than their Western counterparts. For one, none of them ever appeared on the Epstein list. That is precisely why they do not have to bend or bow before Israel or its network of lobbies.
2- The Iranian people are proud and patriotic. They are willing to risk their lives by forming human chains around bridges and critical infrastructure to protect their homeland. They have never welcomed, and will never welcome, foreign intervention. Neighboring countries were mistaken in assuming they would need to close their borders to manage an influx of refugees fleeing war from Iran. Not only did Iranians refuse to flee the war zone, but many living abroad actually returned home by land once the conflict began.
3- Iran is a resilient nation that has endured decades of illegal sanctions, sadistic “maximum pressure” campaigns, covert operations, and outright war. It stood tall, relied solely on itself, and built a formidable military, industrial, and scientific base. By contrast, countries with far stronger economies are already complaining about the economic fallout from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and are growing impatient. Iran withstood their sanctions for nearly fifty years, yet they cannot tolerate fifty days of reciprocal economic pressure. Hopefully this reality will force them to recognize the depravity of their past policies.
4- Iran is not a state sponsor of terrorism. Its only “sin” has been to be the sole country on Earth that has firmly, openly, and proudly stood up to Israeli apartheid and genocidal policies. That is the real source of all the demonization.
5- Iran did not squander money—or the brief proceeds from temporary sanctions relief—on destabilizing the region. It invested in infrastructure instead. The sheer number of hospitals, airports, petrochemical plants, railroads, bridges, ports, pharmaceutical factories, and universities targeted in the war reveals exactly where that money was spent.
6- Iran did not seek war. It pursued serious diplomacy, only to be betrayed on multiple occasions. The United States withdrew from the JCPOA and then attacked Iran twice while new negotiations were underway. All the smears claiming that Iran fails to honor its international commitments or is prone to lying and cheating are pure nonsense unsupported by empirical evidence.
7- Iran’s foreign policy is guided by values, principles, and national pride rather than materialist “cost-benefit” calculations. Understanding this is essential to reaching any genuine deal. Otherwise, within a narrow “cost-benefit” paradigm, Israeli experts and think tanks will continue to rush to portray Iran’s intentions as hostile—just as they have done for decades by relentlessly disseminating the falsehood that Iran is seeking to build nuclear weapons.
1. Try not to show yourself too happy. Have a little prestige;
2. Never, (emphasize) never think to the new legal regime of the Strait of Iran. We will fix it;
3. Turn off the phone, relax, no more posts and, block Bibi for one week;
4. Eat a light dinner and sleep well.
Iran announces closure of Hormuz again.
The sooner the U.S. accepts that Hormuz leverage has structurally shifted toward Iran, the better the chances of a meaningful deal.
Iran is negotiating under pressure
but the world is negotiating under urgency.
And in such situations, time is not neutral, it becomes leverage.
@MirzaMogul007 @etihad My long affection and loyalty to prefer Etihad to fly overseas comes to an end for now and forever. May the fall of Etihad and Emirates brings prosperity for Asian airlines.
@abidbashir82@KlasraRauf سراسر جہالت اور جانبداری پہ مبنی تجزیہ ہے۔ پرل ہاربر کے بیچ دنیا نے لیبیا بھی دیکھا ہے، عراق بھی، افغانستان بھی اور فلسطین بھی۔۔۔ اتنی تباہی کے بعد ڈیل کرلے اور رہی سہی جو کمر باقی بچی ہے وہ عراق و شام کی طرح سر نڈر کرے فلسطینیوں کی طرح پیٹ پر پتھر باندھے اورخطہ اجڑنے دے؟
The Iranian Red Crescent Society published "War Crime Document No. 4," showing damaged interiors of Tehran's Gandhi Hospital which was struck during US and Israeli airstrikes on Iran.
🚨 WARNING: Is the White House setting a social media trap to justify a renewed Iran war?
Professor Mohammad Marandi (@s_m_marandi) warns that Trump’s claims of Iranian concessions are "all nonsense" and could be a calculated setup.
If a real U.S. strategy exists, it may be to frame Iran for breaking "non-existent commitments" to end the war they never actually made.
Marandi notes the danger of this narrative: "justifying another war" could be used by the White House to accuse Iran of "backing out of a deal," leaving Trump "no choice" but to restart the war.
With U.S. troop movements increasing in the region, more ammunition flowing in, the chances for a military assault remain "actually quite high."
We must look beyond the "string of crazy texts" to see if a darker path for the Middle East conflict is being paved.

@mb_ghalibaf: Read the real and accurate news of the negotiations in the recent interview of the spokesman of Foreign Ministery.
@IRIMFA_SPOX: "The opening or closure of the Strait of Hormuz will be determined on the ground, not on social media.”
۶- جنگ رسانهای و مهندسی افکار عمومی بخش مهمی از جنگ است و ملت ایران تحت تاثیر این تردستیها قرار نمیگیرد. اخبار واقعی و دقیق مذاکرات را در مصاحبهٔ اخیر سخنگوی وزارت خارجه بخوانید.

۴- عبور و مرور در تنگهٔ هرمز بر اساس «مسیر تعیین شده» و با «مجوز ایران» انجام خواهد شد.
۵- باز یا بسته بودن تنگه و مقررات حاکم بر آن را میدان مشخص میکند نه شبکههای اجتماعی.
۱- رئیس جمهور آمریکا در یک ساعت هفت ادعا مطرح کرد که هر هفت ادعا کذب است.
۲- با این دروغگوییها در جنگ پیروز نشدند و حتما در مذاکره هم راه به جایی نخواهند برد.
۳- با ادامهٔ محاصره، تنگهٔ هرمز باز نخواهد ماند.
@DanaNawzarAli On the other hand, west imperialism weaponise immorality and cruelty and gives birth to IDF, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, RSF, etc. under the umbrella of capitalism. US bagan war with a massacre of 168 girls, IDF dropped 100 bombs in 10 mins.
@DanaNawzarAli The actual resistance forces which r labelled as terrorist orgz like Hizbullah, Houthis, Quds etc. still haven't bombed the maternity centres, had never targeted the infants, never blasted schools, hospitals, paramedics etc.
