Terrific, if so !!!
"According to the US CIA, Russia has gifted Iran an air defense system.
Neither Russia nor Iran has publicly announced this.
As a result, Israel and the US are reportedly in a state of extreme alarm."

Re: Iran commentary by top observers
This looks better that MbA, the Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister combined, ignored Vance !
For always the Qataris have been SO WEAK, buckling under to any American/is not reali demand - at least as far as the eye can see.
Nobody would expect any Iranian official to wish to greet the American VICE-president after 47 YEARS of animosity between the 2 countries
"In a series of diplomatic snubs, JD Vance was publicly ignored—not once, but repeatedly—by Iranian and Qatari negotiators in Switzerland.
Video footage shows Qatar's lead negotiator completely disregarding Vance during a formal gathering.
In a separate exchange, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was also seen walking past Vance without even caring."

Re: Iran commentary by top observers
Comment on a post about Iranian reformers who act as almost agents of outsiders - and the fact that the Supreme Leader and others stated they were against the MoU [Memorandum of Understanding]
Though the MoU sounded like about the only option, the results have not yet been very good.
"I really don't grasp how so many Iranians believe they have a choice to make peace.
Do they not recognize that the Israel will never stop and because of that neither will the US ?
They are predators set on making Israel a superpower and [destroying or subjugating Iran]"

"The Revolutionary Guard Delivers a Double Message to [is not real] and Qatar :
We Know {Even} What Your Agents Eat and Their Home Addresses.
and a Warning to Doha from an Adversary Who Knows No Honor
In a sharply worded statement, Iran's Revolutionary Guard revealed a shocking level of intelligence, warning Israel against any "folly" toward the negotiators in Doha, while simultaneously directing a cautionary message to Qatar.
The statement said:
"If the Zionist enemy commits any mistake, we will not respond to its known targets.
But we will strike its agents scattered across the Gulf and the region, whose names we know, and their residential addresses, and even the daily meals they consume and their communication networks."
The statement then turned to Doha in a sharp tone:
"And Doha must pay close attention and prove worthy of hosting the negotiating delegations.
For what happened previously, when one of Hamas's senior negotiators was assassinated, is enough for you to learn whom you are dealing with.. an adversary who knows neither honor nor loyalty.""

Re: Iran commentary by top observers
History repeats itself !
"Shapur I: The Persian King Who Defeated Three Roman Emperors
For the Sasanians, he wasn’t just a ruler, he was King of Kings, guardian of Ērānshahr, and the man who carried Iranian arms deep into Roman lands.
His victories over Rome became legend. Here’s the story"
Rise of the King of Kings
Shapur I inherited the throne c. 240 AD, ruling a young empire founded by Ardashir I.
But he wasn’t content with survival, he sought expansion, glory, and to prove Persia could stand superior to Rome.
In 243 AD, Emperor Gordian III invaded Mesopotamia with a massive army.
After early success, Roman forces crossed the Euphrates expecting to crush Persia.
They met something very different.
The Battle of Misiche [244 AD]
Near Misiche, Shapur I confronted the Roman army.
The battle shattered Roman momentum. According to Persian sources, Gordian III was defeated and killed during the campaign.
Roman accounts differ on Gordian’s death—but not the outcome.
The invasion collapsed completely.
Rome’s eastern campaign had ended in failure.
Peace on Iranian Terms
Philip the Arab became emperor and chose survival over pride.
He made peace with Shapur I, paid a heavy indemnity, and withdrew.
Rome had conceded before but this time, the victory belonged unmistakably to the Sasanian Persian King of Kings.
Shapur I seized the initiative, shifting the balance of the war.
Over the next decade, Sasanian Iranian armies pushed westward, raiding and capturing territory across Mesopotamia and Syria. Rome was now on the defensive.
Barbalissos & Antioch
In 253 AD, Shapur I annihilated a Roman army at Barbalissos.
He then captured major cities, including Antioch—one of Rome’s greatest eastern capitals.
Sasanian Empire now dominated the eastern frontier
Rome’s Last Gamble
In 260 AD, Roman Emperor Valerian marched east with a massive force.
This was meant to restore Roman prestige and crush Shapur I once and for all.
Instead, it led to disaster for Rome
The Battle of Edessa (260 AD)
Shapur I surrounded the Roman army at Edessa.
As Persian pressure mounted, the Roman position collapsed. Emperor Valerian sought negotiations but was captured.
For the first time in history, Roman emperor was captured alive by a foreign king.
Legacy in Stone
At Naqsh-e Rostam, Shapur I carved his triumphs into rock:
Gordian III killed.
Philip forced to submit.
Valerian taken captive.
Three Roman emperors broken.
One Persian King of Kings victorious.

Re: Iran commentary by top observers
The very same fields of battle in this era, too
"I just took this photo outside Saint Mary subway station in central Tehran. Above her statue hang portraits of Iranian Christians martyred in Saddam's war - backed by the West - against the Islamic Republic.
Zionists despise Saint Mary.
Iranians and all Muslims hold her dear."
