Why is it that after Israel doing a decapitation strike against literally every enemy that not one of these countries been able to counter it?
We can cope about it getting a hardliner in power but it still means that your Supreme Leader got murdered.
They killed three generations of his bloodline. Him, his daughter, her husband, and their child.
Oh, wow, the last person in Iran who opposed building nukes died. Surely this will not alter the geopolitical landscape!
It’s so dumb. All these guys are “HE bRokE pRoCEduRe” and none of these idiots realise that Trump has just broken a 400 year old gentleman’s agreement not to do this, twice. They don’t realise that it’s now open season on them. And Iran isn’t forgiving like the IRA was
I really hope so. I hope in my lifetime we see a world where it is open season on US politicians from the rest of the world for the rabid behaviour they didn’t even try to stop.
This nonviolent stuff’ll get you killed
first 9/11 and now this? it never ends
Here’s hoping Iran finally wises up and gets nukes, and will also start more closely collaborating with China and Russia (which was mostly the fault of the Iranian leadership wanting to suck up to the West for the last 2 decades).
They are too infiltrated for that
how is one supposed to “get nukes” undetected in the context of a global surveillance state? I doubt NK could have pulled it off any later than they did.
The DPRK could easily do it again today if they hadn’t already. The fact is Iran is far more infiltrated than the DPRK.
that’s a very ambitious “easily” but i don’t disagree overall.
Short of Russia or China giving some to them overnight, I guess there really isn’t an option to procure nukes completely undetected. They probably have or are in the process of building new nuclear enrichment sites that haven’t been detected yet since the last ones got bombed, but it’s only a matter of time before US/ Israeli Intel picks up on it. Having access to better air defences, again by collaborating more closely with Russia and China, would help deter most attacks on the site except the most advanced stealth bombers.
So it will essentially be a race to get nukes before the US can sniff out where the production sites are and decide to bomb them. They can’t openly say they are building nukes because that would just give the US and Israel full justification to attack them as they are right now. Instead, Iran can help stall time by trying to enter negotiations again while feigning their commitment to no nuclear enrichment by secretly building the weapons under some mountain (severing ties with the IAEA gives them an advantage), but that requires the political will of the Iranian leadership to lie about their intentions. Hopefully the death of Ayatollah Khamenei and the repeated failures of Pezeshkian to secure a lasting peace will motivate the government in this direction.
Honestly after Trump shredded the original nuclear deal in his first term would’ve been the perfect time to start building nukes, and I strongly believe they could have done so largely undetected during the last decade, but the main problem was and still is the political will to do so.
yea, tbh people were giving nk example but it was obvious they were able to pull that off because they were china’s neighbour. iran is getting bombed just for possessing enriched uranium with clear lack of intention for nukes.
So guess we’re getting more than a weekend war
Most likely, yes
Now the real question is whether or not all the nations swore to stand with Iran if this happened will do so
nations swore to stand with Iran
Who does that include?
No Nation Sate has swore to stand with Iran, only non state actors. The Houhtis will likely launch some missiles and drones. Hezbollah has been severely weakened, but will likely join too. There were also reports of some Iraqi Resistance that launched some drones on Iraqi US bases.
it looked like that before his death was confirmed

Holy shit
Time to queue all the useful reactionary idiots to manufacture consent for starting a war in another country.
They got the same playbook as Venezuela.
What a dark time to be alive, I hope there is a hell for these people.
