The Lebanese state deal with israeli regime under US patronage is not only illegal but is basically throwing away the south of Lebanon for constant israeli crimes.

Western propaganda stays silent on this:
Iran ranks #1 in Asia for organ transplants.
2nd largest producer of artificial heart valves.
Top 10 in infertility treatment & nuclear medicine.
First country to produce anti-cancer drugs.
Why the silence? No profit for them.
Sorry Mr. West — the world of today isn’t buying your lies anymore.
To be honest, understanding Donald Trump is literally impossible. Iranians did right thing when they gathered a psychologist in their negotiations team to read, analyse and understand trump’s messages.
ِIn Islamabad I spoke to @AlarabyTV about US-Iran negotiations emphasizing that Pakistan has played its role with Iran but now our leadership should also visit Washington DC to pursue the US to lift the naval blockade and remove any hindrances towards a positive outcome
Incredible to see some analysts blame Iran for not trusting Trump after he launched an unprovoked war in the middle of negotiations and imposed a naval blockade during a ceasefire. The US & Israel are responsible for this mess, not Iranians who are bravely resisting genocide.
Iran flew #F5 jets & successfully attacked well guarded #USA base in #GCC causing serious damge worth billions.
I must admire d thought of using F-5 & the pilots in it for sure had the mountainous courageous for flying it into enemy territory having most advnced defence systems:
سینتالیس سال سے ایران ہر صیہونی طاقت سے لڑ رہا ہے۔ سر اُٹھا کر جی رہا ہے۔ اپنے شہیدوں کو سُپرد خاک کررہا ہے۔ پھر بھی 450 بلین ڈالر کی معیشت چلا رہا ہے۔ ہر سازش کا منہ توڑ جواب دے رہا ہے
اور ایک ہفتہ پہلے شہباز شریف کی شروع ہونے والی ثالثی ایرانی قیادت کی زندگیوں کی ضامن ہوگئی ؟
نشہ ہمیشہ مہنگا اچھا ہوتا ہے کم از بھیجے کے سلز نہیں جلا دیتا۔
As a mediator u provid only platform irrespective of hw d parties act. Mediator can not dictate any party to do anything. What is asked pf Iran in 2nd round is to accept defeat. Pak can not & shld not blame anyone for its a mediator & not a party to accuse Iran 4 failure of talks
Sad to see that some people seem to support Iran blindly - even if that support comes at the expense of Pakistan’s own national interests and narrative

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.
Pakistanis far past 2 days hv been kinda angry as to why Iran is not surrendering its strategic autonomy? Thy wnt Iran to participate in talks despite the fact that USA wants complete surrender & presenting unacceptable demands. Iran didn’t surrender before & will not do so now.
Iran has hard earned the position of safeguarding its interests & Pakistnis just bashing them for not losing it. Thy wnt Iran to give up everything earlier agreed upon by USA (10 points) & participate in a dialogue which has no meaning frm Iranian perspective. We hv to be neutral
I am shocked as to see hw supposedly unbiased & neutral negotiators are blaming Iran 4 failure despite knowing that its US who impsed blockade after Iran opened Hormuz & caused halt in talks. Negotiators have to be nurtral not force 1 side to surrender their autonmy to please US.
