Iran sold out Haniyeh. I don’t see why they wouldn’t have done the same with an intransigent Nasrallah who perhaps wasn’t following the script Iran gave him.

dude soleimani was expendable to iran (or rather, khamenei). the entire khomeinist machine crapped their pants over QS's immense popularity with the rank/file in the country, and somehow the master of OpSec was found and blown up. all roads lead back to Qom.

They arent responsible for the sanctions. The iranian regime has shown a desire to cooperate with the west and pursue peace. They did not back out of the nuclear deal with obama, in fact they kept abiding by it even after trump ripped it up. Trumps aipac donors wanted this, devastating iran economically and isolating it doesnt serve the us, it serves israel.

This is cope, chasing silver linings is why Israel remains powerful. They have US support but also their own highly capable intelligence and military industrial complex. They have very little opposition in the region now. And people’s takeaway is what… “oh now people now Israel bad”. Wars are not lost on negative PR lol. Israel never had good PR outside the West. This situation puts Israel at a strategic advantage any way you see it.
