Gulf War No.37: Iranistan

[CXRAndy]

China help pressure Islamic regime into ceasefire.

They buy vast sums of oil from Arabian states and Iran

That and huge airfleet of loaded bombers heading their way

Waiting to see what Israel will do next to sabotage the situation.

Israel have already said that the cease fire doesn't apply to Lebanon.

Good, now this little distraction is (potentially) over, can we get back to the important issue of the Epstein files ?

 

[Milzy]

Pulled what off?
He’s damaged the economies of the Middle East. Killed Iranians and achieved very little. Whilst also alienating his NATO allies and showing Iran to be more powerful than before.
I can’t see how we are any better off now than we were 6 weeks ago.

You do realise regime change has happened? Don’t listen to the MSM.

What measure are you using?

Ahead of Romania and Slovakia so I should have said 'one of the...'.
As of late 2024–2025, Hungary ranks roughly 21st-22nd in nominal GDP among the 27 EU member states, with a GDP of approximately €206–222 billion.

Pedantry aside, Oban has leeched everything he could out of Hungary over a 16 year dictatorship, although technically, an 'absolute monarchy'.

What material argument are you raising by asking the question?

Absolutely. The Ayatollah Khomeini is dead and has been replaced by the Ayatollah Khomeini - rumoured to be more hardline than his dad.

But also possibly / probably dead ....

[IMr Trump called Iran’s ten-point peace plan “workable”—despite its inclusion of points that cross America’s red lines, such as Iranian control of the strait and Iran’s right to enrich uranium. America might bargain sanctions relief, unlocking investment needed for Iran’s reconstruction (and enriching the regime).[/I]

[Psamathe]

According to leaks, Iran’s 10-point peace plan, nominally accepted as a basis for negotiations by Trump, calls for an end of the war against “all components of the ‘axis of resistance’,” which, for Tehran, includes the pro-Iranian Lebanese group Hezbollah.
...
Shehbaz Sharif, the prime minister of Pakistan, said that Iran, the US and their allies had “agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere” as he announced the ceasefire overnight.

Yet Netanyahu is declaring he won't stop attaching Lebanon.

Absolutely. The Ayatollah Khomeini is dead and has been replaced by the Ayatollah Khomeini - rumoured to be more hardline than his dad.

Khomeini died in 1989, his family are not currently involved in the government of Iran. Khamenei father was killed about a month ago and Kamenei son has nominally succeeded him, though whether he is in a fit state to lead is disputed.

For what matters the regime hasn't really changed, the dominant faction may have, but the regime structures remain as they were.

Is someone assuming he's read it and understood his contents, before declaring it workable?

 

[dutchguylivingintheuk]

The ceasefire terms are clear

Everyone agrees Trump is the bestest cleverest boy, and pays Iran to use the Straits.

They aren't clear, Us has a 15 point plan Iran a 10 point, they are now going to negotiate but that doesn't mean any or all off Iran's 10 points would get trough. Despite many media seem to think so.

I asked the question because I didn't know anything about it and a cursory search suggested that your claim wasn't accurate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_and_social_rankings_of_sovereign_states_in_Europe
I'm happy to stand corrected if you have more information but I just thought it was worth digging deeper rather than taking a quote from random internet bloke at face value. I'm not carrying any water for Orban btw

Yup! The personnel have changed but the regime remains.
Donnie has achieved absolutely nothing positive, but mass destruction of lives, property, infrastructure and economy.

 

[Blazing Saddles]

Yet Netanyahu is declaring he won't stop attaching Lebanon.

The Israeli’s ain’t signing up to any peace plan. Netanyahu wants the Lebanon flattened like Gaza, but he wants the orange idiot in the White House along for the ride.
By continuing to attack Lebanon, he will pick away at the plaster holding this treaty together, in the hope that he can drag the US back into the conflict, if Iran counters.
