I repay evil with an equal weight after it's done & return it with force. By God, I see heads that have ripened & are ready to be harvested & I am their reaper.

Is Iran coming to an end?
Iran is on the back foot once again after the United States have imposed crippling sanctions on the country.
Iran has no choice but to endure the sanctions since they cannot retaliate due to the fact that they were not physically attacked, only economically.
This places Iran in a very dire situation, sanctions don’t usually have an effect on the government, but rather on the people. Therefore expect to see protest against the government in a matter of months or maybe sooner.
This will have Iran forced back to the negotiation table. Having their last card played in Bab El Mendeb, what options do they have left?
As Donald Trump said “I have no time schedule; whatever it takes,” in other words “balls on your court Iran”
According to Trade Data Monitor in 2024 Iran was able to bypass some of those sanctions by exchanging $125 billions worth of trade with countries like UAE, China & Pakistan who supplied nearly three quarters of Iran’s merchandise imports. Four countries China, Iraq, the UAE and Turkey accounted for more than two thirds of its non-oil exports. But with the United States also threatening any one trading with Iran economically it would be extremely difficult to maneuver these sanctions.
Iran has another long-term problem. Plans to substitute the Strait of Hormuz to pipelines across the Middle East is already underway. Soon the Strait of Hormuz will be completely useless and Irans final grip of a negotiation card will burn.
Rumours circulating in Iranian state news TV that Iran has been invited into the Mecca joint alliance agreement. If these rumours are true, what other choice would Iran have then to submit to US demands or find an alternative with this pact.
But such a pact would inevitably come with significant sacrifices, including a commitment to ending all hostilities against Saudi Arabia and potentially the dissolution of all non-state armed actors across the region. The fundamental question, therefore, is whether Iran would be willing to capitulate and accept such terms.

OMAR AL ABRASH, IRAQ AND THE GOLAN HEIGHTS - 1973
The hero of the October War is the martyr and hero Major General Omar Al Abrash, a native of Al Salihiyah, Damascus. He was assassinated by the butcher Ibrahim Al Safi under orders from Hafez al Assad.
On October 6, 1973, Egypt and Syria declared war on Israel. However, Hafez al Assad had an agreement with Israel that included surrendering Damascus to them, withdrawing to Homs, and moving the Syrian capital either to Homs, Aleppo, or Latakia. This was similar to the betrayal in 1967 when he handed over the Golan Heights while serving as Minister of Defense. To fulfill this plan, only one division was placed at the border under the command of Brigadier General Omar Al Abrash, making it easy for the Israeli army to annihilate.
However, the unexpected happened. The 7th Mechanized Infantry Division, under the leadership of Omar Al Abrash, managed to break through Israeli defenses, engaging in a fierce battle in the Tel Al Makhfi area in the central Golan sector. It became one of the largest tank battles of the 20th century. Omar Al Abrash succeeded in liberating Mount Hermon, the entire Golan Heights, and advancing to the Banat Yaqub Bridge and Lake Tiberias.
Then, a call came from Hafez al Assad ordering him to withdraw. Furious, Omar Al Abrash responded:
“You are just a MiG-17 pilot; what do you know about leading battles?”
But Hafez bypassed him and ordered lower ranking officers to retreat. He then sent Ibrahim Al Safi, who assassinated Omar Al Abrash on October 8, 1973. They initially declared it a suicide and later altered the story to claim he was killed by the Israeli army. The rest of Omar Al Abrash’s division retreated, shocking the world, and Damascus became vulnerable to surrender.
The surprise was the arrival of the Iraqi army, which saved Damascus. The first units of the Iraqi 12th Armored Brigade arrived on October 10, followed by the 8th Mechanized Infantry Brigade and the 6th Armored Brigade. The 12th Brigade, led by Colonel Salim Shaker Al Imami, confronted advancing Israeli forces near Damascus, inflicting heavy losses despite the lack of air support.
An Egyptian military report highlighted the pivotal role of the Iraqi brigade in halting the enemy’s advance, stabilizing the front, and recovering lost positions.
When the Iraqis refused to accept a ceasefire and continued fighting, Hafez al Assad took steps to force them to withdraw. He closed the Syrian-Iraqi border to cut off supplies, restricted water flow from the Euphrates River by closing the Al Tabqa Dam, and accused the Iraqi army of conspiring against him. Facing isolation and lack of support, the Iraqi forces were forced to withdraw after sacrificing around 900 martyrs.
In 1974, Hafez al Assad signed a disengagement agreement with Israel, dividing the Golan Heights. Most of the territory remained under Israeli control, while a smaller portion became a demilitarized buffer zone. This betrayal prevented the liberation of occupied territories, with Israel taking key strategic positions in Mount Hermon and the Golan Heights.

@Partisangirl Why did Nasrallah praise Al-Qaeda?
Why did Hezbollah recently recognize Syria's "Al-Qaeda government" as legitimate?
Did Hezbollah become a Zionist organization?
Also that's a light show, it's not suppose to be a demonstration of Syria's military capabilities lol🤦♂️
