Exactly. Most people outside the region have no idea how correct this is... Let me give those people a fresh example:

Soon after Israel started genocide in GAZA back in 2023, Western leaders supported that genocide by saying that Israel has the right to defend itself. If Israel has the right to defend itself by killing unarmed civilians then Iran also has the right to defend its land against US and Israel invasion which is against international laws.

The biggest loser of this war are gulf countries, they are not only suffering because of closure of Strait of Hormuz but also bearing the damage done by Iranian missiles. As far as support to people of Palestine is concerned there is zero from any Arab countries leadership. I even saw a video in which a Palestinian showed that Arab countries are sending white coffins (Shroud) as an aid for people of GAZA, so that they can do burial of there loved ones. This is mentality of Arab leaders that they can't do anything to stop genocide going on in GAZA despite being so many in numbers.

Yeah, I noticed that whoever was filming the 5th fleet demise in Bahrain was in pretty high spirits.  Seems the case in other countries as well.

I was honestly kind of shocked when there was so little push-back on the Gaza genocide among the Arab nations.  At the very best, it seems that it might have slowed down their rush toward total capitulation in the form of the so-called Abraham Accords.

Bukele made a stunning turn-around in El Salvador taking it from one of the most dangerous countries in the world to one of the safest in just a few years.  This shows what can happen when the bad apples are identified and 'corrected'.  What made it possible was that the bad apples, in their infinite wisdom, tattoo their own faces.

In Saudi, for instance, they do a similar thing by putting table-cloths on their heads.

In America, they do something similar by taking AIPAC funding, and their faces are collated by the likes of https://www.trackaipac.com/congress.

Here's my guess about what is going on lately (after significant Iranian attacks on USreal airbases in Jordan).

As I said when this thing kicked off 10 months ago or so, Israel always did anticipate eventually attacking Iran with nukes, or at least getting pushed into a situation where that were 'necessary'.  Of course they would like to have Trump do it with US nukes, but it would always have been stupid to assume for sure that they could ensure that eventuality.  It would have made no sense to start things unless nukes were planned since without them the current situation as it stands today was quite predictable.

Iran would have known this, and their only realistic way to deal with it were to have enough nukes to counter-strike.  I suspect they started working in earnest on getting ready to take the final step at that time.  More importantly, they would have put a lot of resources into remaining a non-nuclear power until they in fact took a nuclear hit and were able to finish of their final assembly anyway.

As things progress and the U.S. is needing to pull farther and farther back, Israel is providing their main 'safe space'.  Especially after what happened in Jordan.  I suggest that Iran is not striking Israel primarily because they don't want to invite the inevitable nukes.  They probably just need some more time to further develop their counter-nuke strike potential and enhance the necessary backup capabilities since finalization of a nuclear counter-strike package details are necessarily complex (especially being accomplished under nuclear attack.)

Of course since Iran does not wish to be nuked, and their only hope is deterrent in nature, they also have to communicate to the right people in the right ways that they do indeed have a deterrent and that it is both strong and reliable.  This can take time and effort, especially if they do as I suggest, adopt Israel's strategy of ambiguity.

The invasion to here (Iran) is not only by military.
Nowadays, SSL certifications of major Iran websites (banks, gvt, etc) are revoked.
Users only see SSL error, and firefox even removed the option : "Proceed to unsafe website" exactly when 80M Iranian users need that option to be enabled...
Firefox is helping the U.S. government instead of helping firefox's users! Firefox is going to be completely useless here!

All in all, I think it does not matter for most of you guys. so i think i rather to do not talk...

That is a good theory @tvbcof but let me add this:
They probably just need some more time to further develop their counter-nuke strike potential and enhance the necessary backup capabilities since finalization of a nuclear counter-strike package details are necessarily complex (especially being accomplished under nuclear attack.)
First watch this video: https://www.aparat.com/v/my4IU or download from their official website in HD since the Youtube channel was shut down by US regime's Department of Censorship: https://imadl.ir/Video/2021/12-December/December%2025,%202021%20--%20Attack%20on%20the%20Zionist%20regimes%20weapons%20of%20mass%20destruction%20center%20during%20the%20Great%20Prophet%2017%20war%20games.mp4

This was a serious military exercise and simulation from 5+ years ago. And lets just say both Hiroshima and Nagasaki are livable places but Chernobyl is still mostly a nuclear wasteland...
With pinpoint precision hypersonic technology and unlimited reach, Iran's options are vast before even reaching the point of needing nukes. Specially against those who have the largest number of Weapons of Mass Murder themselves Wink

Now what's been happening over the past 2 weeks is Iran paving the way and cleansing a massive Area that is more than 3 million kmsup (ie. gas stations on the southern shores of Persian Gulf, Saudi usurped Arabia, Iraq, Syria and Jordan) so that next time when for example a Shahed-136 drone or a deadly Paveh CM is flying toward its target, there is nothing left to bother it...

Nowadays, SSL certifications of major Iran websites (banks, gvt, etc) are revoked.
Thanks for bringing this up. And I say this is massive and a good news! Let me explain...

1) You see, this was obviously, as Americans say: a "nothing-burger". It proves that the US regime is not only without options but also is getting increasingly desperate. So basically the desperate regime has been issuing orders to these CA issuers to revoke these certificates. Something that only created a short term disruption since the affected websites simply changed their certificate and things started working in a very short time. But most importantly, it won't change anything.
Most of CENTCOM is obliterated and Red Sea was just shut down similar to the Persian Gulf on the Epstein Axis Grin

2) It speeds up de-Americanization and can lead to breaking yet another monopoly. We bitcoiners understand this better than anybody else. Centralization is terrible, but monopoly is even worse.
Decision makers are usually too slow to making any move. For example they knew for years that Bretton Woods (monopoly) was a scam and yet they didn't do anything about it for years. Then they knew the replacement aka Petrodollar (monopoly) is another scam and yet they didn't do anything about it for years. They needed World War 5 to start before they began dedollarising.
It's the same in other monopolies, 5 years ago if you talked about dedollarising, most people would have said "it's not gonna happen" (check reactions to my posts from 5 years ago). Today it is ~60% done because the world woke up.
This particular "nothing-burger" was another reminder that breaking monopolies in all areas is a necessity, and it will be speed up. #BRICS

Man, TECSHARE really was ahead of the game.  He saw things decades before others...  Not just in this case, but in the case of calling out bad Default Trust members on this site and foretelling all the problems that were on the way long before the rest of us saw them (most here still don't even see the problems he was warning about 10+ years ago).  Truly a loss for this community.  I can imagine if he were still here, maybe things wouldn't have gone downhill so quickly for the credibility of this place.
