@xdeadair@TalatHussain12 If war continues, we also have to face this:
unbearable fuel & gas prices
High inflation
power outages
economic choas / collapse
Inconclusive war (without a clear winner) often transits into quest for stronger bargaining position predicated on half truths , from both sides. This quest is mostly reckless , endless and fraught with risks.
International community is being kept on tenterhooks by Iran and US’ pursuit of dominant position on the table after contested claims of victory at the time of ceasefire. Likewise , when the party initiating an illegal / unjust campaign does not plan a clear exit strategy during preparatory stage then crafting it midway without defeating the enemy becomes very difficult . A few steps that can help overcome the impasse can be :-
- both sides , particularly US commits not to conduct diplomacy through media .
- both sides commit to mediators for not resorting to offensive public posturing .
- US agrees to live with a reality ; Iran won’t accept a solution which undermines their national honour , dignity and is interpreted as surrender . Not only the US offer should be an honourable exit for Iran , it must also be presented in a dignified way .
- Iran must realistically review their residual military, diplomatic and economic potential before rejecting changed US position on unacceptable conditions of first round .
- China and Russia need to play more proactive role for complimenting the unprecedented efforts of sole mediator.
His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.
The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz by the United States will make it more difficult to transport oil from the Gulf.
If ships passing through the Gulf are stopped by paying tolls to Iran or using Iranian ports, countries that depend on the Gulf region for oil supplies will face severe difficulties. As a result, oil prices may increase dramatically.
The ill-fated military campaign of the United States and Israel has worsened the lives of millions of people and has endangered world peace.
In fact, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz by the United States will increase global pressure on the United States to end the war as soon as possible.
The intoxication of power and the madness of war campaigns are pushing the United States away from the whole world, including its allies, and towards global isolation...
Official Announcement.
42 school girls are martyred in Iran after American bombing on a school.
Imagine if these were Americans or Israelis ? The whole world would have condemned it.
🇮🇷 Iran is hitting US military bases. Not schools. Not hospitals. Not children.
🇧🇭 🇶🇦 🇦🇪 Bahrain. Qatar. UAE. All military targets. All strategic. All justified.
🇺🇸 🇮🇱 Meanwhile, the other side hits playgrounds and calls it precision.
One targets the machine. The other targets the innocent.
The difference isn't strategy. It's morality.

Doesn't matter whether you like imran khan and his politics. It is clear that no one else can manage a mobilisation like this. And a govt in panic and with a question mark on its very legitimacy simply cannot compete. And no, locking down half of punjab isn't a masterstroke.
