Russia tried. Iran turned it down. Nuclear arms violate their tenets of Islam. I agree with you, but it wasn't Russia's fault. As much as I loathe the idea of even more nuclear weapons, I don't see what else Iran could do at this point. I hope secretly they're doing something. Meanwhile, Pakistan has vowed to come to their aid and I'm sure if it came to that Russia would do what it could. Or China, for that matter. Iran is not without friends.

Pakistan and Iran were throwing missiles at one another a year ago. The statement Pakistan made was more a warning to Israel rather than a defense of Iran. However the real answer is much more nuanced than vowing to come to Iran's aid.

China is suppose to have delivered several batteries of its IAD systems to Iran. Some suggest Iran's IAD was not effective during the 12 day war. Others say it was.

The problem with defensive missile batteries, israeli software attacks. Eight hrs. and systems on with help of Russian techs. Iran's biggest problem was thinking a peace with the West was possible, never was. War with China and Iran is in the way, that was and is the priority. End Stage Capitalism demands it.

In the bitchute link I posted about Ryan Dawson @ about 34 minutes Johnson talks about how Iran has forced Israel into the ceasefire. He believes it will hold because Iran is supposed to have 10000 or more missiles built and stored underground so western intelligence has no data.

Israel’s initial success was more because of its vast network of sabotage agents. They have now been exposed and eliminated. There are many analysts who declare that the IDF never entered Iranian airspace.

We have no insight to confirm or deny. It’s a propaganda war.

For those who want to see Israel destroyed you will appreciate Johnson’s take on events.

well, there's article 3.3 of the iranian–russian treaty on comprehensive strategic partnership, which could be interpreted as an impediment on the resumption and continuation of us-russia trade that russia seems to want so much (i do hope they're faking that).

>>"Russia tried. Iran turned it down."

That is ONE narrative. But does ANYONE really know what is TRULY happening behind-the-scenes (i.e. behind closed doors)?

Hence I question the analysis of SO MANY supposed 'YouTube pundits', experts, retired so-and-so govt. personalities, etc.

I think the reality of such 'geopolitical diplomacy' is far more complex and nuanced then the 'simple narratives' that are proffered by so many 'professionals and experts' and believed by the general public.
