Iran willing to end war if guarantees prevent repeat attacks: Pezeshkian

If we are being cutthroat here, America doesn’t need to send aid to Ukraine. You’ll say that it is to stop Russia from being too powerful But America is on the other side of the world. How can Russia threaten the USA? I agree Russia threatens US “dominance” but the Russians hardly threaten US existentially It even isn’t France or UK’s war. In the end it’s geopolitical. It’s wrong to invade a sovereign nation but we’re all adults here. If Ukraine joined NATO it’s basically game over for Russia It’s basically open for future invasions coz it’s all plains. The US threw a tantrum when the USSR installed nuclear missiles on Cuba. Even though Cuba was a sovereign nation and wanted to have the missiles installed there. If Pakistan were to join NATO, do you think India will just sit there and say that it’s their choice? Because that choice affects Indians too

Right I was thinking about absence of guarantees if those were breached. Akin to article 5 of NATO.

The Islamic Republic which literally 47 years ago vowed to "Export the Revolution" . Which it did by arming millitias in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen. Then it started building ballistic missiles while talking about their ambition to force first the entire Muslim world under their fake Islamic jurisprudence, Wilayat al-Faqih (Guardianship of the Jurist)which even other Shia consider to have no Islamic legitimacy. Then they started seeking a nuclear bomb. Of course someone will claim Khamenei had a fatwa against that when it is well known that the Islamic Republic is an expert at Taqiyya. Ask the Iranian Left and the sweet lies they were told in 1979 and what happened in the 80s. Iran has been escalating for decades. The fact that it has finally elicited a response does not mean the US and Israel started the escalation. The US and Israel have not been singing "Death to Iran "for 47 years. Nor have they been calling Iran some kind of Satan for 47 years. As a person with Lebanese heritage, I am no fan of Israel but if they get rid of the Islamic Republic, my ancestral country is going to be free of the Captagon Lords /Hezbollah because Iran has spent billion spropping them up while subverting the Lebanese state. If the Americans can dismantle Iran's capabilities, we will be in a strong position to get rid of the Hezbots once and for all. Right now, regardless of differences in political systems, religion or ethnicity, everyone from Israel to Saudi Arabia to Azerbaijan wants the Islamic Republic gone. We are tired of having a regime that hijacks(in the case of Azerbaijan, tried to hijack) our home countries with its proxies . Iran goes and the only issue we will now focus on is the Palestinian question, which today, an issue that does not pose a threat to the entire region, only Israel ,Jordan and Egypt.

Considering the situation I think they care more about who is sending bombs on their refineries rather than who started it. Most people understand that Iran/Israel have been in a conflict for years (Iran sent hundreds of missiles & drones on Israel in April/October 2024, Israel attacked in June 2025 etc.), but they probably care more about who's targeting them. Idk where you live but if another country is sending bombs on your country in a similar context, I think you won't care about who started it. You're not going to think "Hmmm yeah perhaps they're right to attack our energy infrastructure and block the strait while we're not attacking them". Sure they could target US bases in these countries, but not the countries themselves.

I suppose. If you would like to be more informed, you can do some research on the Middle East. The colonialism in Palestine after World War Two by the Jews to create Israel, the dome of the rock and the Jewish promised land. The rift in Islam between Shia and Sunni Muslims and the differences in their beliefs. The rise of the Shah in Iran and the 1979 revolution led by the Ayatollah. The enrichment of uranium and the nuclear agreements that were signed and torn up by both parties. The desire to control global trade through the Red Sea and control the price of oil. The Iranian weapons being shipped to the houthis in Yemen and Hamas in Gaza and hezbollah in Lebanon. Truly start by looking at Sunni vs. Shia. Edit: getting downvoted with no one telling me where my ignorance lies is kinda frustrating. I honestly want to understand what I said wrong.

I think basically at this point Zelensky would support anybody that can pay for his own war, morals be damned. It's not a beautiful day, it's the cold and grim realities of modern warfare.

You are making a Huuuuge pile of assumptions there mate. Thats too many straw men arguments to wade through. All I said was America sucks. Iran sucks too. There, happy?

Yea, I get that. I don’t really know how to feel. On one hand, Iran has been murdering their own people in the streets this year and have enough 60% enriched uranium and the centrifuges to enrich enough to 90% fission bomb grade for 5 nukes in 2 weeks. On the other hand, I have seen no evidence they were racing to the bomb and it also seems highly suspect that this war was launched while the Epstein files, and trumps relation to them, were dominating the news cycle. And here we are not talking about the cabal of wealthy elite pedophiles that the US government has evidence against but is refusing to prosecute.

You’re mixing valid criticisms of U.S. foreign policy with a false equivalence about current global threat. Okay sure , the U.S. has made mistakes and has used force abroad, sometimes controversially, but it still serves as a backbone of global stability. Iran, by contrast, has spent decades actively destabilizing both its own country and the region. It brutally represses its own population, including killing and imprisoning citizens for dissent. It funds and arms proxies like Hezbollah in Lebanon , the Houthis in Yemen, Hamas in Gaza, and militias in Iraq; TERRORIST groups responsible for terrorist attacks, mass murder, r*** and ongoing regional instability. These are not hypothetical risks but active, ongoing conflicts. Criticizing the U.S. is fair, but calling it the greater threat to world peace ignores reality and shows an unimaginable amount of ignorance with regards to who is actively fueling conflict versus who is largely maintaining the current global order.
