Iranian attack hit water desalination plant in Kuwait

There is no guarantee of any final deal, no.

If I was a betting person I would put money on it though. I think it is clear both the US & Iran want an end to the war now. As things stand they can both claim some victories and I'm not sure there would be anything to gain for either side in resuming the war.

Israel are in a different position to the US with regard to Lebanon so they would probably prefer to continue fighting Hezbollah (if Trump allows them to).

We were better off under JCPOA.

Hell, we were better off on 27th Feb.

Good point, the way things have been done over the last 5 weeks, there is zero guarantee of any final deal or even the ceasefire holding...

The World might be desperate for an end to this debacle but tell that to the 3 parties involved...

That's not a fair comparison.

The terms of the final deal have not been agreed yet so we don't actually know what the final deal will look like.

This is just the start of negotiations where both sides are airing their demands and intense negotiations will start on Friday. Iran won't get everything their own way and neither will the US.

It was their money. And they would have had to pay it back because of a court order. Obama did not pay them anything.

It is called doing a deal.

To be fair, Obama paid Iran $1.7B.

Spains pm sums up really well a lot of peoples feelings on this I think. Fair play to him for saying it out loud I wish more governments would follow.

“Ceasefires are always good news.

“Especially if they lead to a just and lasting peace.

“But this momentary relief cannot make us forget the chaos, the destruction, and the lives lost.

“The government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket. What’s needed now: diplomacy, international legality, and P EACE.”

Starting this war has been a big mistake for him and the Americans.

Trump capitulated to Iran.

And lifting of sanctions. Under Obama it was to be done in stages as a "reward" for sticking to the deal. Under Trump ..... near all in ..... 2 weeks. Or so it appears.

So much winning.

Iran Deal By Obama:
•Strait of Hormuz open for free
•Iran limits Uranium enrichment
•Iran agrees to make no nuclear weapons
•Iran allows Int'l inspectors to ensure compliance
•Inspectors confirm Iran's full compliance

Iran Ceasefire By Trump:
•Strait of Hormuz closed, only open for $2M Per Ship
•Iran makes no guarantee of limit on uranium enrichment
•Iran makes no guarantee of no nuclear weapons
•Iran makes no guarantee to allow Int'l inspectors

🙏

In fairness to the IRGC ( never thought I would say those words) they did warn that it would take time for the message of the ceasefire to reach everyone in their organisation.

I hope this is the case and that all attacks stop within a few hours.

Things have moved on a bit since these posts ^.

Iran is now firing missiles at Israel.

This was after Pakistan said a ceasefire had been agreed and shipping was to be allowed through the Straits for a fortnight.

It's very difficult to know what to believe but I have seen live footage released by Israel of the Iron Dome in operation, intercepting missiles.

This is an unprovoked attack and I can't see Israel taking this lying down...

I would speculate keen eyed researchers. Check their archives to see if the fellas name appears in Iranian State Media. If it does, possible regime plant. Information and disinformation.

Yes, it is.

They made it clear that this was 'Radin's' personal opnion, not sure why they removed it.

The fact that he feels like that is the most upsetting

For anyone curious, this is the vanishing paragraph:

We weren't the only ones to notice, TPF. They still skirt over the part where Radin said he'd be OK with nuclear weapons being used.

It is very suspect.

Yes, I very much agree.

We know the IRCG are a horrific regime, that doesn't mean that the Iranian people deserve to be sent back to the stone age or have their civilization erased.

This is why assume so. They have a history.

Thanks for finding it

I found the source @EasternStandard it was the Independent:

Iran tells young people to make human chains around power plants ahead of Trump’s deadline

Iran called on “all young people, athletes, artists, students and university students and their professors” to form human chains around power plants ahead of the threatened strikes.

Alireza Rahimi, identified by Iranian state television as the secretary of the Supreme Council of Youth and Adolescents, issued a video call, saying: “Power plants that are our national assets and capital, regardless of any taste or political viewpoint, belong to the future of Iran and to the Iranian youth.”

Iran has previously used human chains around its nuclear sites during periods of heightened tensions with Western nations.

Later, a Revolutionary Guard general urged parents to send their children to man checkpoints, which have been repeatedly targeted in airstrikes.

Well that’s a very big assumption! Why would you think that Iranians don’t care if their Country is completely destroyed? Why would you think they would be happy for all their essential infrastructure and precious historical buildings to be razed to the ground? Is it incomprehensible that they might actually care about that infrastructure?
