Divining Iran’s intentions from its enriched uranium production is difficult, but over the years the rate has been more closely linked to the level of tension in Iran’s relationships with the United States and Israel than it has been with the technical necessities of production.
In recent days, after a drone attack linked to an Iran-allied group killed three American service members in Jordan, Tehran has repeatedly signaled that it does not want a direct confrontation with the United States.
On Tuesday, the Iran-backed militia that appears responsible for the drone attack, Kata’ib Hezbollah, or Brigades of the Party of God, said it was giving in to pressure from Iran and Iraq to cease targeting American forces. The militia is the largest and most established of the Iran-linked groups operating in Iraq.

Does paying off Islamic terrorists to persuade them not to pursue terror attacks still look like a good policy? The Obama/Biden administrations are our own axis of incompetence.

Here’s a very simple question, which should be easy to answer but certainly clarifying
Are missile strikes (repeated, in the hundreds) considered an act of war?
Yes? Then Iran has already declared war on these United States
No? Then do this:
1) Announce to Iran that we will bomb their oil export and storage facilities in 24 hours, so any and all people who don’t want to die should evacuate the area
2) Bomb away. The concern of President Blinken is that we don’t want war. No worries if you answered “No”. We’re not doing war, we’re only bombing them
2a) Explain to Iran that if they respond, we will next bomb their oil extraction and military installations

Here's a very simple question, which should be easy to answer but certainly clarifying
Is establishing hundreds of military bases in someone else's country without their permission an act of war?
Yes? Than the United States has coerced Iran into an unconstitutional and unnecessary war.
Didn't work well for Netanyahu either. Stop paying off, start fending off.

"axis of resistance" is just a euphemism for "axis of evil". Iran tries to hide its involvement in the attack on October 7 but clearly Hamas, Islamic Jihadists, Houthis and Hezbollah etc etc received support for the destabilization, terrorism, and ultimately genocidal behavior on Oct 7.
The real axis of evil should include Russia and North Korea. They are all sharing their weapons and technology to kill civilians and encourage terror. As President Biden likes to say, "We are at an inflection point". Now is the time for him to decide which path we shall take before more Americans are killed.

I think that if Iran does not want a war with the US then everyone should know about it.
@9JMC8J24mos4MO
I feel surprised and I knew that was coming somehow
@9JLS7M84mos4MO
Maybe we accept? We've been fighting so long with them that taking this olive branch may be the respite we need.
@9JM846N4mos4MO
America must avoid a major conflict with Iran
@9JLZKCQ4mos4MO
I think our national security is the biggest issue that our media needs to cover first. Other countries problems need to be addressed second.
