I don’t really know how to engage with this line of argument.If he was shot, headlines would be about a malaria hero, not a military researcher.

A new treaty is almost impossible imo, even before this assassination. Iran passed the required enrichment limit last year, the US will use the cancelation as a mean of extracting better terms than the JCPOA. Both parties will be heading into this round of talks expecting something better than what they had before.I don't think they should reactivate the treaty, since they know that the next Republican will just tear it up again and try and starve them into submission. The weapons themselves could be a better bargaining chip than a piece of paper.
Also, i believe Rouhani's second term is ending so who knows what the position of the new Iranian leader will be. If he isn't considered a reformer willing to bargain then Khamenaei will probably not be willing to negotiate, which is when the real problems may begin.A new treaty is almost impossible imo, even before this assassination.

Your point is also very valid. On a host of issues, I don't think the world would ever trust the US again. Why commit to something when a maniac is likely to follow your presidency?

Reports at the time suggested 1,500, not 15,000.Do we have any caffers from Iran on here? According to these news report there is a claim that 15000 protesters were killed last year. I wonder if there is much substantial evidence to support it?

Seemed a bit steep. Considering the lack of coverage.Reports at the time suggested 1,500, not 15,000.
It may be a typo, here she is last week claiming 1,500, which is what Reuters reported last year:Seemed a bit steep. Considering the lack of coverage.

Not a typo, because she says it in the interview. But since she consistently states the number of 1,500 killed otherwise, including in her documentary, it seems to be a glitch.It may be a typo, here she is last week claiming 1,500, which is what Reuters reported last year:

I've always assumed Trumps action in 'dealing' with Iran was just Russia's doing tbh. Not sure the act has benefitted anyone else?Pre emptive measure by Israel who rightly expects that Biden will let Iran successfully finish its quest for A bomb. Trump was the stupidest President ever but he was right regarding Democrats blindness in dealing with cheaters like Iran and China
You’re overthinking it. He was just pissing on Obama’s bed.I've always assumed Trumps action in 'dealing' with Iran was just Russia's doing tbh. Not sure the act has benefitted anyone else?
1. Get US to break their word and forever taint their reputation and ability to make future international agreements.
2. Give their only middle eastern ally permission to develop the bomb.
I think it started from the WH Press Dinner when Obama made fun of The Donald. He was there himself and you could see that he was so angry. No one gets to make fun of The Donald and gets away with it is what he feels.You’re overthinking it. He was just pissing on Obama’s bed.

I think the number stands at 30 including Morocco. I could be wrong.The long engagement finally results in marriage.
How many of the O.I.C members will have official diplomatic relations with Israel by the start of ramadan? What's everyone's guess? I'm going with 20 to 25.

Amal and Hezbollah supporters organized a protest in front of the Palace of Justice in Beirut (they're not happy with the investigatons of the Beirut port explosion).
Thanks. Is the Palace of Justice in a Christian area? Can only think some higher party must have given the LF the nod to go ahead with this.Amal and Hezbollah supporters organized a protest in front of the Palace of Justice in Beirut (they're not happy with the investigatons of the Beirut port explosion).
Members of the Lebanese Forces started shooting at the protesters, killing 6 people and injuring many more. This, of course, led to armed clashes which ended after the army interfered.
I'm not one for wild theories, but even I knew that something was gonna happen today. I didn't expect it to be this major but how did the security forces and intelligence services miss this? There was literally 10's of trained snipers on roofs all around the area...Hezbollah now are claiming that 2 high ranking Lebanese Forces officials were in the area yesterday, why go through with the protest?
Something doesn't add up, and the situation now is extremely tense.
