Trump ‘vetoed plan to kill Iran’s supreme leader’

You mean putin vetoed
 
Taking out the Ayatollah when it's not needed as Israel is kicking butt -can only lead to unnecessary "complications"
Agreed! I think it would be counterproductive to the impressive and important progress of recent days.
 
Except the JCPOA was no longer applicable during the last 4 years because Trump 1.0 decided to pull out of it, and most importantly, there was much less opportunity for Iran to hide things under the JCPOA than without it. But sure, we're better off now with Israel acting as a junkyard dog and Tel Aviv getting hit with missiles. Or is this "TDS" as well?
 

I haven't kept up with Syria's developments in a while, but as I understand it, while there is some semblance of political control in major cities, it is still a hot mess throughout much of the country. If Iran's government is overthrown, there's the real potential for a power vacuum if the security situation breaks down, which is a very distinct possibility. This could easily spill into neighboring Syria and Iraq.

I'm curious as to what you have seen that you consider impressive and important progress of recent days.
 
...and the assumption HTS will remain "centrist" as much as that word means in that kind of conflict. There's a lot of struggle between HTS and the Alawites who largely supported Assad in the past, as well as the Druse who Israel supports so this has all the makings of a prolonged struggle for power.
 
honestly I havent kept up either since Assad got tossed, here is a quick AI search

to your point on Iran - it's mostly Shi'a of course and i guess it depends on how the regime is gone.. hard for me to extrapolate
 

Not that anyone cares, but if I see a post that looks like an AI search or AI generated, I don't read it.
 
Regime change with what? This is a country with zero experience in Democacy.

The Israelis need to look at recent US history with Afghanastan and Iraq as far as regime change consequences.

Well, perhaps Bibi shouldn't have gone on Fox News on Sunday to suggest the exact opposite.

he didn't suggest anything. look at what he said.
it could facilitate, but Israel itself wont use a policy of regime change
How many times have we heard westerners call for the Iranian people to rise up? And not just the Green Movement
 
Dude. You support Putin. Putin assassinates little kids.

Assasination of a leader in Iran will not likely work. Iranian leaders tend to think a like and they will simply replace him and continue developing nuclear weapons.
 
This would require Bibi to give one fig what Trump thinks. He doesn't.
 
Was it too much work for Donnie?

Maybe even Kegsbreath thought it was a shitty idea...
