@WVanwagenen I think there’s a simple indicator of what will happen with Iran: if Zarif is imprisoned or executed, Iran will defeat the US, remain sovereign, and become the regional power. If Zarif remains free, Iran will eventually be destroyed, balkanized, and/or become an Israel vassal.
Jimi Hendrix's manager, Mike Jeffery, was an ex-MI6 agent w/ ties to the CIA. Intelligence targeted Hendrix for his political activism, with Jeffery served as the operative, using bogus arrests & drug pushing to neutralize him. Within 48h of Hendrix firing him, Hendrix was dead.

برجام هرگز یک توافق صلح نبود. برجام، بزرگترین عملیات فریب استراتژیک پس از جنگ سرد برای کانالیزه کردن قدرت ایران بود.
اينجا جان کری صراحتا ميگه پولی که به ایران برگشت (۱.۷۸ میلیارد دلار)، باج آمریکا نبود، طلب خود ایران از دوران شاه بود. اما نکتهای که آن زمان در رسانه هاي ايران به آن اشاره نشد اين بود چرا تحریم چرخه دلار (U-Turn) هرگز لغو نشد؟
این یک بدعهدی ساده نبود، بلکه یک مهندسی مالی عمدی بود. طبق اسناد و خروجی اتاق فکرهای اثرگذاری مثل کوئینسی، واشنگتن به یک ایده محوری رسیده بود:
ایران به دلیل ریشههای ژئوپلیتیکیاش قابل حذف یا فروپاشی نیست و جنگ با آن، خاورمیانه را بلعیده و اقتصاد جهانی را فلج میکند.
پس دموكراتها سناریوی سوم را کلید زدند:
دکترین #مهار هوشمند
(Smart Containment).
همان طرحي که جورج کنان در ۱۹۴۶ برای مهار شوروی تئوریزه کرده بود.
فرمول این قفس شیشهای غربی برای ایران ساده بود:
۱. تزریق قطرهچکانی داراییها برای جلوگیری از فروپاشی اقتصادی ایران (که ترکشهایش دامن منطقه را نگیرد).
۲. قطع شریان دلار برای جلوگیری از جهش اقتصادی و مالی ایران.
۳. مهار ابزار هستهای برای سلب حق بازدارندگی مطلق از تهران.
طرف غربی با علم به اینکه جمهوري اسلامي ایران برای این توافق هزینه سیاسی سنگینی در داخل پرداخت کرده، برجام را نه به عنوان پایانی بر خصومتها، بلکه به عنوان یک «اهرم کنترل رفتار منطقهای» طراحی کرد.
واقعیت مکتوم این است: برجام، بازتولید دکترین مهار شوروی در قرن ۲۱ بود. توافقی که قرار نبود زنجیری از پای اقتصاد ایران باز کند، بلکه قرار بود فرمول مدیریت ایران بدون شلیک حتی یک گلوله باشد.
🇺🇸/IRAN - US-Iran "MOU": Beware of Triumphalism
▪️Iran has simply survived the latest round of DECADES of US encroachment, encirclement, containment, and aggression;
▪️Actual "winning" looks like what the US has done in Syria, where one side completely loses, is removed entirely from the regional equation, and there are no "talks" or "negotiations" because the losing side has zero leverage to even get the other side to the table;
▪️The fact there are "talks" with the US in the first place indicates a fundamental lack of leverage on Iran's part;
▪️The US will not be withdrawing from the region, nor will US-backed proxies be rolled back and eliminated - instead the US and its proxies will simply rebuild, rearm, and reorganize their approach ahead of an inevitable renewed conflict...
... if there is even a significant pause to begin with;
▪️The US has already attacked Iran, paused a year, attacked again, paused a year and attacked again - in 2024 (via Israel), 2025, and again this year - nothing yet has been done by Iran to break this cycle, just survive it;
▪️Iran "controlling" the Strait of Hormuz is moot if the economic damage it causes advances US interests in placing the rest of Asia under energy dependence on the US - the only variable the US seeks to control is the speed & severity of the damage caused - this "MOU" allows the US to manage and slow it down;
▪️A US defeat would look like the full withdrawal of US troops from the region, the elimination of or reconciliation with its most dangerous proxies in the region, and iron clad security guarantees for Iran (via allies like Russia and China) - anything short of this means future conflict is inevitable;
▪️In other words, future conflict is inevitable;
▪️That said - what Iran must now do is beat the US in terms of rearming and preparing ahead of the next round of fighting (optimally with Russian/Chinese help) - hopefully realizing this is a Minsk-style trap and the only upside is having time to prepare for when it is sprung...
@imetatronink Never let your enemy off the mat especially when your enemy is the most evil, treacherous, bloodthirsty entity that has ever existed on earth. They had a chance to finish the job, and generations of immiserated peoples around the world will rue the day they stopped short.
@imetatronink I know you believe the US Empire has suffered a strategic defeat from which it'll never recover, but I would posit Iran's decision to agree to a ceasefire and "negotiate" with the Empire represents a folly from which it won't recover and will lead to its own strategic defeat.
@imetatronink@m4h007 Why did Iran agree to allow Strait of Hormuz transit without any fees for 60 days? That seems like a betrayal of the leverage they obtained.
@policytensor Fine. Iran continues charging fees and the global economy crashes. Seems far worse for the US than Iran, which controls energy delivery and becomes a global superpower. Why would the US care about 60 days unless it’s planning on elongating that to forever?
@Mamoocham Why did Iran agree to allow Strait of Hormuz transit without any fees for 60 days? That seems like a betrayal of the leverage they obtained as well as a terrible mistake.
@fresh_sadegh Why did Iran agree to allow Strait of Hormuz transit without any fees for 60 days? That seems like a betrayal of the leverage they obtained as well as a terrible mistake.
You people are disgusting freaks and have no idea how this makes you look outside of your group chats, much less outside of the country. This is why everyone hates you.
Until the American left can find enough allies with correct politics to talk Israel out of its genocide campaign, Palestinians will just have to continue scraping the remains of their children out of bombed-out rubble and mass graves
I suspect the US-Zionist Empire is going to eventually try to remove all this type of footage from the internet forever. Decent chance they'll be successful, and our children's children won't ever know or believe this happened.
One of the most horrifying and brutal scenes ever captured on camera in modern history.
Israeli soldiers opened fire on thousands of starving Palestinians in Gaza as they ran in desperation trying to get a piece of food during the war on Gaza.
A moment the world must never forget.
