Iran is signaling that any diplomatic off‑ramp from its escalating conflict with the United States would have to go far beyond the nuclear deal negotiated under Barack Obama.

Iran’s newly unveiled plan—released as part of the ceasefire announcement—makes no mention of nuclear limits or inspections.

Instead, the statement from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) says the U.S. would have to agree to enrichment, lift all primary and secondary sanctions, terminate all U.N. Security Council and IAEA resolutions against Tehran and compensate Iran for war damages.

    This is sound logic but I’m not 100% sure this is the case. This is an existential threat for Iran, but with or without the United States, it’s even more existential for Israel, even considering the nuclear threat. Iran will inevitably develop their own nuclear capabilities, nothing can stop this now, and Israel is much smaller than Iran. Even without a nuclear fission explosion, many methods can be deployed which would make Israel uninhabitable for generations.

      Israel has nuclear weapons and other Weapons of Mass destruction, the violence was only meant to go one way, the Israelis might be stupid enough to believe their media, but it’s never been true.

        Yeah but that doesn’t change the fact that Israel is a tiny country that would be eradicated more quickly in a nuclear exchange with Iran
