The holy books did not talk about 'Hindoos'. There was no such thing as a Hindu before the British Raj and Hindu Mahasava in India invented the term.
I am rather surprised your Sangh heart bleeds for Muslims - whether Hijabi girls or Sunnis, who are themselves persecuted in India by Hindutva folks.
You don't share a border with Turkey or Egypt. Yet there is no dearth of hate coming for those countries from Hindutva Indians. All Muslims are enemies according to Hindutvas in India.

Iran must reinvade Syria and kill the Al-Qaeda/ Daesh muzlims backed by Israel and AL-Turkiya. Reactivate other muzlim toady like Hezb and Hoosi's ASAP.
This would be a great strategic move right now to really fukk Israel up.

Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated that the facility had been emptied "well in advance" amid fears of a possible US attack, according to news agencies.Job listings
Satellite images taken by US-based space technology firm Maxar showed 16 cargo trucks and bulldozers near Fordow’s entrance on 19–20 June, indicating possible removal activities, though the cargo remains unknown.
Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization condemned the strikes on Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, confirming no radiation leaks. The UN’s nuclear watchdog IAEA and regional countries Saudi Arabia and Kuwait also reported no rise in radiation levels.

In a decisive response to the US aggression against Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities, the Iranian parliament has voted to close the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, reports the Iranian news network Press TV.
A senior Iranian lawmaker, Esmaeil Kowsari, said on Sunday that the Majlis (Iranian parliament) has agreed to close the key artery for global energy trade in response to the American aggression and the silence of the international community, according to the report.
Kowsari, a member of the parliament’s committee on national security and foreign policy, said lawmakers have reached a consensus on the closure of the strait, though the final decision rests with Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, as per the report.
“The parliament has come to the conclusion that it should close the Hormuz Strait, but the final decision lies with the Supreme National Security Council,” Kowsari stated.
The Strait of Hormuz, situated at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, is one of the most critical chokepoints in global trade, with roughly 20 percent of the world’s oil passing through it, the Press TV report says.
According to various estimates, roughly 20 per cent of the world’s oil, about 17 to 18 million barrels per day, passes through the Strait of Hormuz, making it important for global energy.
The narrow strait also sees the transit of a significant amount of liquefied natural gas (LNG), especially from Qatar, which is one of the world’s top LNG exporters, as per the report.
The Strait of Hormuz is the only sea route that connects the Persian Gulf to the open ocean and is home to major oil producers such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, and the UAE.
Experts have long warned that any disruption or closure of the strait can lead to immediate and major spikes in global oil prices and disturb the global energy security, according to Press TV.
Before the US launched aggression against the Islamic Republic’s nuclear facilities early on Sunday, experts had warned about the likelihood of the ongoing war imposed on Iran extending to the sea, the report says.
Speaking to Press TV last week, strategic experts said the direct American military intervention will prove costly for the US and the Donald Trump administration, especially if the Strait of Hormuz is closed.
Most multi-national corporations around the world would shut down within days as energy supplies necessary to keep them running would run out, they warned, as per the report.
According to some forecasts, oil prices are likely to jump 80 per cent in the very first week if the Strait of Hormuz is closed, as alternative routes would incur heavy costs, the Press TV report adds.

Pakistan condemned on Sunday the strikes ordered on its neighbour Iran by Donald Trump, a day after Islamabad had said it would nominate the US President for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Pakistan on Sunday said Trump’s decision to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities violated international law and that diplomacy was the only way to resolve the Iran crisis.
“The unprecedented escalation of tension and violence, owing to ongoing aggression against Iran, is deeply disturbing. Any further escalation of tensions will have severely damaging implications for the region and beyond,” Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
Also on Sunday, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif telephoned Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and “conveyed Pakistan’s condemnation of the US attacks,” a statement from the Pakistani leader said.
Pakistan’s information minister and the foreign ministry did not respond to requests for comment on the apparent contradiction in the country’s positions over the weekend.
In Pakistan’s biggest city, Karachi, thousands marched in protest against the US and Israeli strikes on Iran.
A large American flag with a picture of Trump on it was placed on the road for demonstrators to walk over. The protesters shouted out chants against America, Israel and Pakistan’s regional enemy India.
Pakistan on Saturday said it was nominating Trump as “a genuine peacemaker” for his role in bringing a four-day conflict with India to an end last month. It said he had “demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship”.

Gulf states, home to multiple US military bases, were on high alert on Sunday after US strikes on Iran raised the possibility of a widening conflict in the region.
US forces "obliterated" Iran's main nuclear sites with massive bunker-busting bombs in the early hours of Sunday in the region, President Donald Trump said, warning Tehran it would face more devastating attacks if it does not agree to peace.
Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, was on a high-security alert after the US strikes, two sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Sunday, while Bahrain urged drivers to avoid main roads.
Kuwait, another key oil exporter in the region, said its defence council would remain in permanent session, according to the state news agency on Sunday, and set up shelters in a ministries complex.
Tehran has previously warned that if it were attacked by the United States, it could target American assets in the region, including US military bases.
Bahrain is home to the headquarters of the US Navy's 5th Fleet and there are US bases in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, as well as in neighbouring Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
Nuclear authorities in Saudi Arabia and the UAE said they had not detected signs of nuclear contamination following the strikes in Iran.
"While the war has so far been contained in direct hostilities between Israel and Iran, direct US involvement is a critical threshold that risks dragging the Gulf states, notably Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar, which host large US military facilities, into the conflict," said Hasan Al Hasan, a senior fellow for Middle East Policy at the International Institute for Strategic Studies.
He said the risk of an open conflict between the US and Iran could plunge the region into a devastating and potentially protracted conflict.
The US strikes added to airline woes with Singapore Airlines cancelling scheduled flights from Singapore to Dubai on Sunday and British Airways cancelling flights to and from Dubai and Doha.
Airlines have been avoiding flying over large parts of the Middle East, including Iran, Iraq, Syria and Israel, due to ongoing missile exchanges.
"In light of recent developments in the regional security situation, we urge citizens and residents to use main roads only when necessary to maintain public safety and to allow the relevant authorities to use the roads efficiently," Bahrain's interior ministry said in a post on X.
Bahrain also told 70 percent of its government employees to work from home on Sunday until further notice, citing escalating tensions, according to the Civil Service Bureau.
The country's authorities earlier this week said they had activated a national plan to prepare for emergencies, set up an emergency centre and tested warning sirens.
Local media also reported that Bahrain had set up 33 shelters.

To say Israel is committing crimes against humanity is an understatement. The mind behind the daily routine killing of unarmed and relief-seeking hungry Palestinians is diabolical at its worst. Even at a time when the Zionist state is at war with Iran, its pogrom continues unabated---lately its targets being Palestinians desperately looking for UN food aid including drinking water for mere survival. History's irony is that the people who suffered the 'final solution', an euphemistic expression for extermination of the Jewish people of Europe, are now the perpetrators of an equally outrageous mass murder of a people on whose soil an artificial state called Israel was created from nowhere to rehabilitate the former.
If the Nazi programme orchestrated to eliminate the Jews continued from 1941-45, the lesson learnt should have been sobering and humane. Instead, brutality and barbarity of the extreme form mark the Jewish state's existential mantra. To the Jewish leaders like Netanyahu, the Palestinians are not just enemies---they are vermin which can be destroyed at will. The ultimate disgrace of the modern civilisation is that the so-called civilised nations not only approve of this genocide but also provide Israel with the killing machines and other material supports. A nation of less than 10 million in a land area of only 8,355 sq miles could not wield so much power unless its Western bosses helped it to be armed to the teeth. In fact, the Western powers are pulling the strings from behind the scene.
No wonder that 14 cargo planes loaded with military equipment and hardware from the US and Germany landed in Israeli airport right at the time the Jewish state and Iran are trading barrages of missiles following the aggression of the former on the latter. Middle East media including the Times of Israel have confirmed this. This fresh batch of military supply is on top of more than 800 cargo planes that have arrived in Israel since the start of the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023.
The US, no matter if it is under a Republican or Democratic president, has been leading the pack of Israel's Western allies. Colonial powers may have gone and the blatant exploitation of resources from Asia, Africa and Latin America may also have ceased but it has taken a vicious form of inciting internal conflict within a country or region thanks to Western powers' ruthless chessboard diplomacy. To establish monopoly access to natural resources such as fuel oil and minerals as also to ensure sale of arms aimed at stoking feuds and destabilising nationalist governments and regional peace, these materially developed nations can go to any length.
The exporters of democracy thus practise something diagnostically opposite to what they preach. Not that the peoples who fall victim to their Machiavellian designs are unaware of the sinister purposes but they are helpless. The hypocrisy and double standard of the defenders of democracy and moral guardians thus get exposed. Their sustained campaigns to paint a regime as evil have time and again proved unsubstantial. It has happened in case of Afghanistan, Iraq and wide swathes of the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Latin America. Now they have targeted Iran.
It is not difficult to see how the Western macabre scheme at times gets exposed. One recent example is Donald Trump's question-answer session on the White House lawn on the day of installation of new flag poles there. In answering to a question, he said 'we' control the sky. This referred to the Israeli and Iranian skies. The US was not officially involved in the war but his use of 'we' bares it all. Then again, an Israeli minister called it a war crime when an Iranian missile struck a hospital called Soroka Medical Center in southern Israel. Contrast this with the destruction of one after another healthcare facilities in Gaza strips. Gaza City hospital, Nasser Hospital, European Gaza Hospital and finally the last fully functional Ahli Arab Hospital all were partially or totally damaged.
The choice of words by some of the Western media outlets also favours their governments' stands. There lies the moral turpitude of the Western civilisation. Despite all its materialistic progress, it is morally depraved and debased.

The world awaited Iran's response on Sunday after President Donald Trump said the US had "obliterated" Tehran's most sensitive nuclear sites, joining Israel in the biggest Western military action against the Islamic Republic since its 1979 revolution.
With the damage visible from space after 30,000-pound US bunker-buster bombs crashed into the mountain above Iran's Fordow nuclear site, Tehran vowed to defend itself at all costs. It fired another volley of missiles at Israel that wounded scores of people and flattened buildings in Tel Aviv.
But perhaps in an effort to avert all-out war with the US superpower, it had yet to follow through on its main threats of retaliation against the United States itself - either by targeting US bases or trying to choke off global oil supplies.
Speaking in Istanbul, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said Tehran would consider all possible responses. There would be no return to diplomacy until it had retaliated, he said.
"The US showed they have no respect for international law. They only understand the language of threat and force," he said.
Trump, announcing the strikes in a televised address, called them "a spectacular military success".
"Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks would be far greater and a lot easier," he said.
Still, his administration stressed that no order had been given for any wider war to overthrow the hardline Shi'ite Muslim clerical establishment that has ruled Iran since 1979.
"This mission was not and has not been about regime change," Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters at the Pentagon. "The president authorised a precision operation to neutralise the threats to our national interests posed by the Iranian nuclear programme."
US Vice President JD Vance said Washington was not at war with Iran but with its nuclear programme, adding this had been pushed back by a very long time due to the US intervention.
In a step towards what is widely seen as Iran's most effective threat to hurt the West, its parliament approved a move to close the Strait of Hormuz, the entrance to the Gulf where nearly a quarter of the oil shipped around the world passes through narrow waters that Iran controls.
Iran's Press TV said closing the strait would require approval from the Supreme National Security Council, a body led by an appointee of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Attempting to choke off Gulf oil by closing the strait could send global oil prices skyrocketing, derail the world economy and invite almost certain conflict with the US Navy's massive Fifth Fleet, based in the Gulf and tasked with keeping it open.
BUNKER BUSTERS
Israel, which started the war with a surprise attack on Iran on June 13, has long said its aim was to destroy Iran's nuclear programme. But only the United States possesses the massive 30,000-pound bombs - and the huge batwing B2 bombers that drop them - designed to destroy subterranean targets like Iran's uranium enrichment plan at Fordow, built beneath a mountain.
Satellite images obtained by Reuters following the attack appeared to show damage both to the mountain above the site and to entrances nearby.
The U.N. nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, said no increases in off-site radiation levels had been reported after the US strikes. A senior Iranian source told Reuters that most of the highly enriched uranium at Fordow had been moved elsewhere before the attack.
While it is clear that US airstrikes had hit the Fordow site, it was not yet possible to assess the damage done underground there, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi told CNN.
Iranians contacted by Reuters described their fear at the prospect of an enlarged war involving the United States.
"Our future is dark. We have nowhere to go - it's like living in a horror movie," Bita, 36, a teacher from the central city of Kashan, said before the phone line was cut.
Much of Tehran, a capital city of 10 million people, has emptied out, with residents fleeing to the countryside to escape Israeli bombardment. Iranian authorities say over 400 people have been killed since Israel's attacks began, mostly civilians.
Iran has been launching missiles back at Israel, killing at least 24 people over the past nine days, the first time its projectiles have penetrated Israel's defences in large numbers. The elite Revolutionary Guards said they had fired 40 missiles at Israel in the latest volley overnight.
Air raid sirens sounded across most of Israel on Sunday, sending millions of people to safe rooms.
In Tel Aviv, Aviad Chernovsky, 40, emerged from a bomb shelter to find his house had been destroyed in a direct hit. "It's not easy to live now in Israel (right now), but we are very strong. We know that we will win,” he said.
During the past nine days of war, Israel killed much of Iran's military leadership with strikes that targeted bases and residential buildings where senior figures slept. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has spoken openly of the possibility of pressing on until the Islamic Republic's clerical rulers are toppled, while denying that was his primary objective.
Trump had veered between offering to end the war with diplomacy or to join it, at one point musing publicly about killing Iran's supreme leader. His decision ultimately to join the fight is the biggest foreign policy gamble of his career.
Netanyahu congratulated Trump on a "bold decision". Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid also praised Trump, saying the world was now a safer place.

Following US attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, Behrouz Kamalvandi, a spokesperson for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, says efforts to develop the civilian nuclear sector will go on, Al Jazeera reports.
“This is not the first time our facilities are attacked,” Kamalvandi was quoted as telling Iran’s YJC news agency. “Considering our capabilities, the nuclear industry must continue.”
The organisation confirmed attacks took place on its Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz sites. Iran said there were no signs of radioactive contamination at the three locations, according to the report.
Iran has maintained its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes only, and US intelligence agencies assessed that Tehran is not actively pursuing a nuclear bomb, the Doha-based broadcaster notes.

The United States' attack on Iran's nuclear facilities has drawn sharp global reaction, with international leaders and humanitarian agencies calling for de-escalation, renewed diplomacy, and respect for international law.
Several Arab countries have swiftly issued statements expressing concern and urging de-escalation.
Oman, which had been acting as a mediator in nuclear negotiations between the US and Iran, issued a strong condemnation of the strikes. The Gulf state said it "expresses deep concern, denunciation and condemnation of the escalation resulting from the direct air strikes launched by the United States".
Saudi Arabia, a key regional ally of the US, denounced "the violation of Iran's sovereignty and stresses the need for restraint", while calling on the international community "to redouble efforts in these extremely sensitive circumstances to reach a political solution".
Qatar's foreign ministry also reacted with alarm, stating that the rising "dangerous tensions will lead to disastrous repercussions at the regional and international levels." It added that it "hopes that all parties will exercise wisdom and restraint at this time."
Egypt echoed similar concerns, warning against "the dangers of the region sliding into further chaos and tension," and emphasised that "political solutions and diplomatic negotiations, not a military solution, are the only way out of the crisis".
Lebanon's President Joseph Aoun expressed grave concern, stating that "the bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities raises the level of fear of an escalation of tensions that would threaten security and stability in more than one region and country".
European leaders also expressed deep concern over the consequences of the strike, warning against further escalation in the Middle East.
European Council President Antonio Costa urged "respect for international law and nuclear safety" in light of the developments.
"Diplomacy remains the only way to bring peace and security to the Middle East region. Too many civilians will once again be the victims of a further escalation," Costa said, adding that he is alarmed by the latest developments.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen echoed similar sentiments, stating, "Stability must be the priority" and calling for "Iran to engage in a credible diplomatic solution."
"The negotiating table is the only place to end this crisis," she said.
Germany's Chancellor Merz has also called on Tehran to resume talks. A German government spokesperson said Merz urged Iran to immediately re-enter nuclear negotiations with the United States so a diplomatic resolution can be achieved.
Iran, however, rejected the notion that it had walked away from diplomacy. In a social media post, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi questioned, "How can Iran return to something it never left, let alone blew up?"
Meanwhile, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) warned of "irreversible consequences" if the situation spirals into a wider war.
"The intensification and spread of major military operations in the Middle East risk engulfing the region - and the world - in a war with irreversible consequences," ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric said in a statement.
"The world cannot absorb limitless war. Upholding international humanitarian law is not a choice - it is an obligation. Civilians must be spared from the conduct of hostilities," she said.
Spoljaric noted that the ICRC has delegations in both Iran and Israel and is scaling up operations to meet rising humanitarian needs.
"[However], no humanitarian response can substitute for political will to prioritise peace, stability and human life," she added.
In the UK, Trade Minister Jonathan Reynolds confirmed that Britain was informed ahead of the strike but was not asked to participate or allow the use of its Diego Garcia base.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who earlier endorsed the US move, is set to consult with allies. "Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon," Starmer had said.
The European Union's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas also joined the chorus urging restraint.
"Iran must not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon, as it would be a threat to international security," she said in a post on X.
"I urge all sides to step back, return to the negotiating table and prevent further escalation. EU Foreign Ministers will discuss the situation tomorrow," she added.

Arab countries on Sunday strongly condemned the US air strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran, warning of serious repercussions and calling for a return to diplomacy.
Iran's former regional rival, Saudi Arabia, which resumed ties with Tehran in a Chinese-brokered detente in 2023, expressed "great concern" over the attacks.
Gulf countries have been engaged in intense but fruitless diplomatic efforts since Israel launched its air campaign on their neighbour Iran on 13 June.
Many of the oil-rich countries host major US assets and bases, and fear that a spillover from the war could threaten their security and economies.
Qatar, host of the biggest US military base in the Middle East, said it feared "catastrophic consequences" for the region and the entire world.
Yemen's Huthi rebels repeated threats to target US vessels and warships in the Red Sea after the overnight strikes, which they described as a "war declaration" on the Iranian people.
On Saturday, the Iran-backed group had threatened to resume attacks on US vessels and warships in the Red Sea, despite a recent truce, should Washington strike Iran.
US President Donald Trump said the attacks destroyed Iran's main nuclear sites, describing them as a "spectacular military success".
But his allies in the Gulf urged a return to negotiations.
Oman, which was mediating recent nuclear talks between Washington and Tehran, strongly condemned the US strikes, labelling them illegal and calling for de-escalation.
The United Arab Emirates also expressed concern, calling for "an immediate end to the escalation".
Bahrain told most of its government employees to work from home until further notice, while its foreign ministry also urged a return to talks.
The US Navy's Fifth Fleet, which covers the region, is based in Bahrain.
Meanwhile, Kuwait activated an emergency plan that includes readying shelters.
The Tehran-backed Palestinian militant group Hamas condemned what it called "blatant US aggression" against Iran.
Iraq, another country that hosts US bases, expressed "deep concern and strong condemnation", government spokesperson Basim Alawadi said, calling the attacks "a grave threat to peace and security in the Middle East".
Fears are growing in Iraq over a possible intervention by Iran-backed armed factions, who have threatened Washington's interests in the region if it joins Israel in attacking Iran.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, largely seen as close to the United States, urged both sides to resume talks to restore stability.
Lebanon has been reeling from a destructive conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah group that ended with a fragile truce last November.
Egypt also condemned the escalation, warning of "dangerous repercussions", while Jordan's foreign ministry voiced "deep concern".

The United States would allow Iran to operate nuclear power plants but not enrich its own fuel, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Sunday, after a wave of American strikes aimed to wipe out Iran's nuclear program.
"The Iranian regime should wake up and say 'OK, if we really want nuclear energy in our country, there's a way to do it.' That offer's still there, we're prepared to talk to them tomorrow," he told Fox News.
"Ultimately, they have to make a decision. It's a very simple decision: if what they want is nuclear reactors so they can have electricity -- there are so many other countries in the world that do that, and they don't have to enrich their own uranium -- they can do that," Rubio added.

"The Iranian regime should wake up and say 'OK, if we really want nuclear energy in our country, there's a way to do it.' That offer's still there, we're prepared to talk to them tomorrow," he told Fox News.
"Ultimately, they have to make a decision. It's a very simple decision: if what they want is nuclear reactors so they can have electricity -- there are so many other countries in the world that do that, and they don't have to enrich their own uranium -- they can do that," Rubio added.

The United States' strikes Sunday on Iranian nuclear sites raised two major questions: how effective were they, and what will Iran do next?
US President Donald Trump said the air raids "totally obliterated" the main nuclear sites, calling them a "spectacular military success".
So far, Tehran has given little away about its response, although Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the United States had "crossed a very big red line".
AFP looks at the impact of the attacks and the possible next steps.
What was the effect of the strikes?
The United States targeted Iran's three main nuclear sites including Fordo, a uranium enrichment facility buried 90 metres (about 300 feet) underground.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the strikes "devastated the Iranian nuclear programme".
The extent of the damage has not been confirmed, but there is speculation nuclear material had already been moved away.
Heloise Fayet, a nuclear expert at the Institut Francais des Relations Internationales, said satellite images showing activity around Fordo "suggest enriched uranium stock may therefore have been transferred to sites not monitored by the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency)".
"We previously had knowledge, albeit imperfect, of the programme thanks to the agency's inspections; now no inspections are possible," she told AFP.
"As for Iran's technical expertise, it cannot be destroyed, knowing that thousands of people have participated in Iran's nuclear programme."
Andreas Krieg, a senior lecturer at King's College London, called the US action a "high-risk operation that delivers unpredictable outcomes", given the facility was deep underground.
"Trump has been using OSINT (open-source intelligence) accounts to say Fordo is gone while the Iranians claim there is only surface-level destruction."
Ali Vaez, Iran project director for the International Crisis Group, said destroying Fordo "won't necessarily end Iran's nuclear programme.
"Tehran has produced hundreds of advanced centrifuges in the past few years that are stored in unknown locations," he said.
What is Iran's next move?
According to Krieg, Iran will seek a "calibrated response -- loud enough to resonate, but measured enough to contain".
Michael A. Horowitz, a geopolitics and security analyst, said its options included attacking US assets, closing the Strait of Hormuz -- a vital conduit for the world oil trade -- or even attacking energy facilities in the Gulf, which hosts several US military bases.
"None of those are good options that achieve anything -- this is mostly about saving face," he posted on X.
"The risks, on the other hand, are great."
However, Horowitz said there were other ways to respond, including a limited retaliation against the US before returning to strikes against Israel and finally negotiating a settlement.
The Iranian government now realises its very existence is at stake, said Renad Mansour, senior research fellow at the Chatham House think-tank, casting it back to the days of the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war.
"It's survival mode," he said, predicting "more violence" in the short-term with the prospect of a "managed de-escalation" and eventual negotiations.
Hamidreza Azizi, visiting fellow at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs, said Iran might allow Trump a "symbolic win" and retaliate against Israeli targets instead.
"This keeps Washington out of the war while intensifying pressure on Tel Aviv. The risk of drawing the US further in would now rest on Trump's next move," he posted on X.
"If Trump continues to strike Iran without new provocation, it looks more like going to war on Israel's behalf. That's politically costly, given domestic opposition to war with Iran."
Meanwhile, Iran could deny knowledge of what happened to its enriched uranium, avoiding IAEA inspections, and later leave the Nuclear Non-Profiferation Treaty.
"Trump may have scored a tactical win, but if Iran plays this smart, they hand him a political grenade," Azizi wrote.
"All while shifting the nuclear game into murkier, more dangerous territory."

UN Security Council meets on Iran as Russia, China push for a ceasefire
"The bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities by the United States marks a perilous turn," UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the Security Council on Sunday.

The UN Security Council met on Sunday to discuss U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear sites as Russia, China and Pakistan proposed the 15-member body adopt a resolution calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in the Middle East.
"The bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities by the United States marks a perilous turn," UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the Security Council on Sunday. "We must act – immediately and decisively – to halt the fighting and return to serious, sustained negotiations on the Iran nuclear programme."
The world awaited Iran's response on Sunday after President Donald Trump said the US had "obliterated" Tehran's key nuclear sites, joining Israel in the biggest Western military action against the Islamic Republic since its 1979 revolution.
Russia and China condemned the US strikes.
"Peace in the Middle East cannot be achieved by the use of force," said China's UN Ambassador Fu Cong. "Diplomatic means to address the Iranian nuclear issue haven't been exhausted, and there's still hope for a peaceful solution."
But acting US Ambassador to the UN Dorothy Shea told the council the time had come for Washington to act decisively, urging the Security Council to call upon Iran to end its effort to eradicate Israel and terminate its drive for nuclear weapons.
"Iran long obfuscated its nuclear weapons program and stonewalled our good-faith efforts in recent negotiations," she said. "The Iranian regime cannot have a nuclear weapon."
Russia's UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia recalled former US Secretary of State Colin Powell making the case at the UN Security Council in 2003 that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein constituted an imminent danger to the world because of the country's stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons.
"Again we're being asked to believe the US's fairy tales, to once again inflict suffering on millions of people living in the Middle East. This cements our conviction that history has taught our US colleagues nothing," he said.
COST OF INACTION 'CATASTROPHIC'
Iran requested the UN Security Council meeting on Sunday.
Iran's UN Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani accused Israel and the US of destroying diplomacy, said all U.S. allegations are unfounded and that the nuclear non-proliferation treaty "has been manipulated into a political weapon."
"Instead of guaranteeing parties' legitimate rights to peaceful nuclear energy, it has been exploited as a pretext for aggression and unlawful action that jeopardize the supreme interests of my country," Iravani told the council.
Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon praised the US for taking action against Iran, saying: "This is what the last line of defense looks like when every other line has failed." He accused Iran of using negotiations over its nuclear programme as camouflage to buy time to build missiles and enrich uranium.
"The cost of inaction would have been catastrophic. A nuclear Iran would have been a death sentence just as much for you as it would have been for us," he told the council.
It was not immediately clear when the council could vote on the draft resolution. Russia, China and Pakistan have asked council members to share their comments by Monday evening. A resolution needs at least nine votes in favor and no vetoes by the US, France, Britain, Russia or China to pass.
The US is likely to oppose the draft resolution, seen by Reuters, which also condemns attacks on Iran's nuclear sites and facilities. The text does not name the United States or Israel.
"Military action alone cannot bring a durable solution to concerns about Iran's nuclear program," Britain's UN Ambassador Barbara Woodward told the council. "We urge Iran now to show restraint, and we urge all parties to return to the negotiating table and find a diplomatic solution which stops further escalation and brings this crisis to an end."
UN nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi said that while craters were visible at Iran's enrichment site buried into a mountain at Fordow, "no one - including the IAEA - is in a position to assess the underground damage."
Grossi told the Security Council that entrances to tunnels used for the storage of enriched material appear to have been hit at Iran's sprawling Isfahan nuclear complex, while the fuel enrichment plant at Natanz has been struck again.
"Iran has informed the IAEA there has been no increase in off-site radiation levels at all three sites," said Grossi, who heads the International Atomic Energy Agency.

US bombing of Iran started with a fake-out
...they were a decoy. The real group of seven bat-winged, B-2 stealth bombers flew east undetected for 18 hours...
US bombing of Iran started with a fake-out
This undated photo handout picture from the US Department of Defence shows a US B-2 bomber in flight at an undisclosed location. Photo: AFP/US Air Force
As Operation "Midnight Hammer" got underway on Saturday, a group of B-2 bombers took off from their base in Missouri and were noticed heading out toward the Pacific island of Guam, in what experts saw as possible pre-positioning for any U.S. decision to strike Iran.
But they were a decoy. The real group of seven bat-winged, B-2 stealth bombers flew east undetected for 18 hours, keeping communications to a minimum, refueling in mid-air, the US military revealed on Sunday.
As the bombers neared Iranian airspace, a U.S. submarine launched more than two dozen Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles. U.S. fighter jets flew as decoys in front of the bombers to sweep for any Iranian fighter jets and missiles.
The attack on Iran's three main nuclear sites was the largest operational strike ever by B-2 stealth bombers, and the second-longest B-2 operation ever flown, surpassed only by those following the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States by al Qaeda.
The B-2 bombers dropped 14 bunker-busting GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators, each weighing 30,000 pounds. The operation involved over 125 U.S. military aircraft, according to the Pentagon.
From the U.S. military's perspective, the operation was a resounding tactical success. The Iranians were unable to get off a single round at the American aircraft and were caught completely flat-footed, General Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters at the Pentagon on Sunday.
"Iran's fighters did not fly, and it appears that Iran's surface to air missile systems did not see us throughout the mission," Caine said. "We retained the element of surprise."
Caine said initial battle damage assessments indicated that all three sites targeted sustained extremely severe damage and destruction, but he declined to speculate whether any Iranian nuclear capabilities might still be intact.
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was more confident.
"It was clear we devastated the Iranian nuclear program," he said, standing alongside Caine in the Pentagon briefing room.
Midnight Hammer was highly classified, Caine said, "with very few people in Washington knowing the timing or nature of the plan." Many senior officials in the United States only learned of it on Saturday night from President Donald Trump's first post on social media.
Hegseth said it took months of preparations to ensure the U.S. military would be ready if Trump ordered the strikes. Caine said the mission itself, however, came together in just a matter of weeks.
What happens next is unclear.
Gulf states, home to multiple U.S. military bases, were on high alert on Sunday as they weighed the risks of a widening conflict in the region.
Guarding against blowback, the U.S. military also dispersed U.S. military assets in the Middle East and heightened force protection for U.S. troops.
Hegseth said the U.S. military was positioned to defend itself in the Middle East, but also to respond against Iran if it goes through with longstanding threats to retaliate.
The Trump administration said it is not looking for a wider war with Iran, with Hegseth saying private messages had been sent to Tehran encouraging them to negotiate.
But Trump has also warned Iran that the U.S. is prepared to hit additional targets if needed, using far greater force.
"Iran would be smart to heed those words. He said it before, and he means it," Hegseth said.

Including the state of Pakistan.

You an I both know Iranis will rather die than play quiet.Now Iran should just STFU and play along k haan Bilkul everything has been destroyed completely
There is this very strong aggravational gene.
And negative 0 (when you go negative till you reach 0 on the other side) tolerance for shysters and misc chtyapanti.
Is life truly lived if you havent told a chtya what a chtya he is?

True.
Its not just the capacity.
Its the ability to take multiple hits and still see it through.
In the old days (90s) most of the Akhamals (fauji speak for Iranian students in Poona) were actually Jordanian haraamis. Masquerading as Iranis and fking around with our girls.
Bahut peeta un ganduon ko. They stopped coming after a few years.
