Anticipating war: Voices from Iranian society

As Washington sharpens its threats, Iranians.  Still scarred by last year’s war are compelled to confront who stands with the country, and who awaits foreign bombardment.



And now, with a few thousand dead.  Israel raping Lebanon.  And the world economy going to shit.

‘45-day ceasefire with shadow of war’ has no place in Iranian politics

Axios, the Israeli-American media outlet, wrote minutes ago that some mediators are trying to establish a 45-day temporary ceasefire in the current war.


Although no official reaction has been made to this issue so far, Axios is generally known as a psychological warfare arm of the Mossad operating in America, especially with regard to Iran.

A temporary ceasefire with the shadow of war, without meeting Iran's conditions for the end of the war, will only allow the enemy to rebuild. In addition, they will also preserve the shadow of war on Iran during this ceasefire opportunity, and through this path, they will benefit their anti-Iranian interests in the military, economic and political spheres and ... They will win.

Trump needs to be stopped.

Trump does not think critically, and considering he is the president of the US, and has functional illiteracy he can't understand what he needs to for the job.

Seems to me to be a given demonstrably seen in his behavior for awhile now. Like Biden there towards the end, but worse in weirder ways.

Quote from: K-DogYour wording suggests that because he can't read he can think critically. 

I had to leave that presumption in, yes. But not necessarily for HIM of course. Critcal thinking is a tricky thing, I'm working with someone right now who is probably near genius at coding and whatnot, mathematics, and can't for a second check their own work to realize that second order effects visible in her answers could be spotted by a first year engineering student. 3 Masters degrees this one has for crying out loud. The computer folks say her code is great...and creates 2+2=5 issues all over the place. Refuses to see it even after a 6 page memo with charts and examples. Weird.

Quote from: K-DogThat makes no sense, and in fact reading enhances one's ability to think critically.

All the reading necessary to get 3 Masters Degree's hasn't done it for my coworker, so I'll stick with my original implication. That and extensive experience studying the PhD's who "studied" peak oil.

Quote from: K-DogIn general readers have larger intellectual worlds than non-readers.  There is a relationship.
I can agree there would be a correlation. But that correlation certainly isn't 1.

Iran carries out wave of arrests and executions in wake of Israel conflict

Iranian authorities have carried out a wave of arrests and multiple executions of people suspected of links to Israeli intelligence agencies, in the wake of the recent war between the two countries.

Some now ancient, but relevant history.  Trump has poured gasoline on a raging fire.  Technology needs information, so humans are in the war loop no matter what, as only humans can get the actual data or tell another robot where to get needed intelligence.  Before a robot can go after a target, target data must be obtained.  Robot war makes the battlefield, everywhere.  Which at the end of the day solves nothing.

The strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz cannot be overstated.  With its closure and the strikes on refining capacities, the world is facing a supply-induced shock that cannot be resolved through diplomatic posturing or short-term reserve releases.
