Totally reasonable people I’d want to cut a deal with. Totally the best.

This is new?

I ask because wasn't the internet recently "turned back on"? I'm wondering if this may be older and just now getting out, not at all doubting that it was actually said.

Translated from Persian
I'm right here, one of this crowd, in this very scene from this horror movie.
When we were backing away next to this gas pump, someone grabbed the collar of my shirt from behind. In those few seconds before I turned around, I thought whoever had my collar must be a security agent, and I'd been caught, and...
When I turned, I saw a middle-aged woman in bad shape, with half-open eyes, who had grabbed my shirt collar for help.

The effects of tear gas and stress and nonstop running had pushed that woman to the brink of fainting.
She collapsed to the ground.

Me and another woman stayed by her side; with the water bottle I had in my hand, I splashed water on her face to bring her around.
The crowd passed by us one by one, the street getting emptier, and right in front of us, the wild hyenas of the tactical unit were standing there.
The woman who had stayed to help me got up and ran off when the last person from the crowd passed us, but the woman was still unconscious, and I didn't know what the hell to do.

To be honest and straightforward, in those few seconds, it crossed my mind a thousand times to get up and run myself. I was scared—no, the more accurate way to put it is that I was "terrified."
The street was empty, full of debris and smoke and fire, and the agents were 50 meters ahead.
I pulled a cigarette out of the pack, lit it, held the smoke under her nose, and... she came to.

We got up, joined another group of people coming from the street below, and I never saw her again.
I don't even remember what that woman looked like.
I don't even know if she's alive or dead.
But if you read this someday, you owe me a pack of cigarettes, because I left it on the ground.

Out there, in the hellscape of Iran, a lady owes a man a new pack of cigs.

Around and around we go. As much as Trump keeps repeating “deal” will not will one into existence. The next steps are obvious.

You can’t trust anything Iran releases, but if no Nuclear concessions, then Trump won’t look good signing this, Just needs to finish them. The fact that they are doing everything to open the strait, and delaying the Nuclear discussions to a later date( closer to midterms with this ceasefire) is a huge win for Iran , and everyone knows the game being played, here…

The only solution is going to be the removal of the current regime. Resume the bombing campaign and this time get arms to the Iranian people. They are online begging the outside world to help arm them so they can take down the regime from the inside.

Getting them armed with some communications for coordination would go a long way to help bring the Islamic Republic down. When we were drone striking Basij and IRGC stations non stop with Israel, is when the Iranian people should have been able to move on the regime with arms and comms.

The only good that has come from this delay, delay, delay is now more understand the IRGC will never give up the nuclear material.

I don’t think arms to the people are going to do it. Nobody wants to admit it but the revolutionary element got purged before we could get clear of the Olympics and not do norm breaking (sorta like Russia waiting until after the Olympics in 2022). There was some sort of secrecy break down and the regime cracked down hard.

At this juncture collapsing the regime is going to be on US-Israel destroying cities and infrastructure causing complete civil collapse. There is no little shove of decapitation strikes that is going to do it now. Our timing got fricked up and the internal forces we likely hoped to seize the initiative in the power vacuum got purged.

I think you're probably right.
Iranian leadership {whoever the hell that is} is watching CNN, BBC, Reuters,, Bloomberg,etc. and see the complaining over high fuel prices and avaition fuel shortages, fertilizer shortages,etc. and realize everyday without and beleive they can just absorb the pain and wait us out.
Reallly is time for bridges and power plants.
