Iran has no choice but to obtain a nuclear bomb to remove the military option against the country during the transition to a new world order, IRGC-affiliated Fars News wrote in a commentary on Sunday.
The outlet argued that Iran must achieve nuclear deterrence to gain what it called the “calm needed” to ensure other disputes can be resolved through negotiations.Fars wrote that only under such conditions would negotiations be possible from the “right position.”
It also argued that nuclear deterrence could create a balance of power between Iran, the United States and Israel and keep the scope of any possible conflict under control.
Fars News Agency is not the Iranian government, but it is widely regarded as closely aligned with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Because of that relationship, its editorials are often viewed as reflecting or testing ideas circulating within hardline political and security circles, even though they are not official government policy.
Iran walking into a corner willingly? Not unless they have the bomb in clutched with their pearls. They will never stop pursuing an aggressive approach towards their neighbors IMHO. While it could be similiar to Korea, I don't think we will have any kind of DMZ, and any kind of Maritime DMZ in the gulf/strait would effectively cut off all trade to and from the gulf. Because we know Iran/other groups will not stop attacking vessels, committing and backing terrorist attacks in the region. I hate to say it but the Koreans knew the hand they were dealt and so did we, Iran is a bit more of a wildcard in how they perceive peace/ceasefire. The South Koreans had every reason to want to settle the conflict as well, after bringing themselves back from the clutches of defeat. On the opposite side of that the Israeli's feel spurned by the US, forced to ease their ambitions as their adversaries will 110% be able to dig in and make it 10x harder to deal with them when the real deal actually happens, if it ever does. As much as I dislike Trump, I do think he is ultimately not wanting to see 1000s of dead US servicemen and women like the neocons that have been pushing for this to pop off want, I don't think the hawks in Washington ever expected Iran to innovate and put up this much of a fight.
As much as anyone tries to fully blame Trump for this you simply cannot. I DO NOT DENY that Trump isn't blame for the current catastrophic existential crisis we seem to be in AT CURRENT TIME.
BUT THIS CRISIS DID NOT OCCUR RANDOMLY OR IN A VACUUM. THIS HAS BEEN DECADES OF NEGLECT. DECADES OF EMPIRE ROT, making deals with untrustworthy terrorists pigs who have never once held their end. You do not make deals with terrorists as they have never once stayed true to any agreements whatsoever.
As for Korean war ending similarities I never once mentioned a DMZ and wait for you to prove otherwise.
Back to the VERY legitimate point/comparison I was making. Nothing is gonna happen. It will end MUCH LIKE but NOT exactly like Korean war. SIMPLY things left unsettled indefinitely because neither side has appetite to continue but no appetite to admit defeat.
You might be correct, so given our extreme aversion to expanding the war significantly. I mean it was never going to happen. What is the solution?As for Korean war ending similarities I never once mentioned a DMZ and wait for you to prove otherwise.
There is none.
But then again DOES NOT take a rocket scientist to predict this future. Anyone with a truly cognitive brain can predict this future in purely probability outcomes.
Kazakhstan signs historic deal with US on mining and REM.

While some have dismissed an expansion to Central Asia as “largely symbolic” this interpretation overlooks deeper implications.www.atlanticcouncil.org
The Zangezur corridor is opening the Caucuses and Eurasia to US investment resources and influence with the west.
There is a purpose to it all.
I understand your pessimism. But that’s like saying the Abraham accords wouldn’t work either. We are already seeing results from that.There is none.
The terrorists won. Much like North Korea did.
To many decades of rot from both parties have made this impossible to correct. American mentality is to have their cake and eat it too.
Won't work forever. And when a Western city goes up in radioactive smoke in a decade or so because the West thought they could evade consequences by burying their heads in the sand........ I'll be right here saying told you so to everyone.
Your right. I will give credit where credit is due. Trump did extract some wins. But the losses outweigh any win and any deal with terrorists is doomed as it has been since, well, ever. So. The same reason why Obama deal was bad is same reason why ANY deal with Trump is just as wrong. You cannot make deals with terrorists. Only way to ensure our safety from terrorist nuclear blackmail is to finish off the threat once and for all entirely, no negotiation your way out of this. Sadly Americans have lost any kind of appetite for such commitments, many. Many. Many decades ago.
If negotiating was fairly or truly possible this WOULD OF BEEN DONE DECADES AGO. FULL STOP. Before most of you where even born this should of been handled long ago. But it hasn't for a simple reason. You cannot negotiate with terrorists. But because Americans got complacent/wanting to have their cake and eat it too, here we are...
But hey if Americans want cheap energy prices now IN EXCHANGE/FOR THE PRICE OF a nuclear armed terrorists state..... Then I say..... we deserve WHATEVER the fuck is coming for us. It will be SOULY due to our collective utter failure over many, many, many decades.
probably to late, but wake up America!!!

So we left with both sides walking back to their corner cause neither side truly wants to test their commitments/red lines.
SUPPOSE the wild card is Israel. But even then. Will be hard to get US and Iran back into a full scale war when neither side population has appetite for it.
THEN people stupidly ask why we not getting "empire benefits/sway/say" anymore and in debt, jeeze, wonder why.
I'm sorry, then how exactly is it going to be similar to the Korean War? We are still effectively in a grey zone. No one here or outside of here can tell the future through a crystal ball so I apologize for prospectively drawing to conclusions on your broad comparison. The MoU is barely holding, calling this a similiar to a long fought for settled agreement like Korea is hard to understand in any capacity other than you meant a DMZ.As for Korean war ending similarities I never once mentioned a DMZ and wait for you to prove otherwise.
