I don't think they're in control of a ceasefire to be honest - they're getting pummelled. Yet the USA can just sail off whenever it wants.
Yeah and the rest of us face the Jihad now Pandora’s Box is opened ; countless martyrs already entrenched within societies across the globe( probably living peacefully within society ) will now pursue and take up the call to arms .

Ironically , if this debacle had been for humanitarian reasons in support of the Iranian people ( I appreciate that’s a hotly debated issue and many versions can be contested ) instead of the BS nuclear weapons narrative it would have gained far more credibility and traction . Here we are however , amidst the shit storm created by ad hoc political decisions and incoherent policies. A rudderless boat floating directionless on the choppy waters .

Lack of transparency and no obligation to share details of their strategy and assessments?! Shit! You make it sound like there was a coherent thought process involved in this operation Sucks though if you were one of the innocents killed, like the school girls, or say one of the US personnel sent home in a body bag. But bad shit happens in war. Rah rah for the FIFA Peacetime President. Donald Bonespurs Trump.

How can they trust any sort of a deal with people who attack right in the middle of negotiations, two times. This will be full on war until Trump tucks tail and retreats, leaving Israelis to wreck Lebanon on their own.
If only Israelis could live in peace with other people, any people, since Moses...this could really be a peaceful planet.

Public wouldn't "buy" it if it was just for humanitarian reasons though, that's the problem. In this new age of America First it's a case of "fvck aid", "fvck the world", "fvck the UN", "fvck the International Court of Justice". He had to convince the country that they had a big nasty weapon and were "weeks away from attacking us".

{quote} One can only speculate to be honest. The idea of Iran is a little hazy at the moment too given the fog of war and the number of top leader's neutralised. In general, there are competing agendas in any state but at the moment it's plausible to reason that there are multiple power centres acting independently and each will have their own goals (see the mosaic strategy for example).
If you gonna comment on geopolitical events you need to know the objectives and plans of both parties.

Iran's stated objective is: Remove the threat of war by destroying or decommissioning the bases surrounding it in the region, all foreign bases(majority are murikan)

Its second objective is create a local security architecture

Its third objective is manage the strait of Hormuz based on its own and the regions interests(as in petro-yuan etc)

How would those objectives fit into your previous post?
- Do they compliment each other at certain points?

{quote} Forget the media, they are stenographers. What is Iran's objective, which have been stated officially? Do you know those objectives?

US military can't just leave right now. That would mean Iran controls 20% of global oil flow. That on it's own would set massive precedent.
