It's relevant, yes, but also pretty obvious that it was for leverage after Trump withdrew from the JCPOA, and during talks initially with the Biden administration and then more recently with Trump. It was always pretty clear that anything above 3.67% was going to be sacrificed.

There are times when I, too, cannot believe words you have just written down, Noga. (But thank you for writing them.).

Actually, the U.S. and every single other country's intelligence community agree with the Iranian president: Iran doesn't have and never had nuclear weapons. If they did, do you think Israel would've attacked them?.

Hard to argue the Iranian president has absolutely no power, and impossible to argue that Ali Shamkhani (who Israel tried to assassinate) has no power (he gave an interview to @RichardEngel of @NBCNews before the war started). Both men have access to and can influence the.

On winning the hearts and minds of the Iranian people.

There isn't an American journalist worth his/her salt who wouldn't jump at the chance to interview Kim Jong Un (who has never given an interview to the western media).

RT @ntabrizy: Our investigation into the Israeli airstrike on Evin Prison in Tehran — analysis of satellite imagery and videos shared to so….

Since you haven't seen the interview, as you admit, perhaps hold off on tweeting until you have?. Or is "preemptive criticism" the same as believing in "preemptive" war?.

It is exceedingly difficult to convert to Zoroastrianism. Some traditionalists don't allow it all; others only through a lengthy and difficult process (not unlike Orthodox Judaism). One can't, as some Iranians do, just call oneself a Zoroastrian simply because there is a chance.

RT @NTarnopolsky: 💥We have been here so many times before, with Netanyahu saying "No" while sending a nominal delegation of empty suits to….

People all day losing it over @TuckerCarlson 's interview with the president of a country we just bombed (and who was apparently not targeted for assassination by Israel, or if he was, escaped with his life). ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN, among others, have also recently interviewed.

Oh, let me guess. .

The Arab-Israeli conflict predated the Islamic revolution (and the PLO was hijacking airplanes). The "current problems" include the issue of Palestinian statehood and self-determination, which predated the Islamic revolution and has yet to be solved.

RT @NTarnopolsky: 💥+1.

How do we know it's a "softball" interview? It hasn't aired yet.

(The numbers are approximate, but an anti-regime network did a deep dive into numbers of government forces and came up with the following: ).

Firstly, we don't know what that number (20K) means, nor is there a breakdown of what disciplines the people come from. And whether they represent intentions to actual defect or if some represent curious inquiry. Secondly, the armed forces (army, IRGC, etc) number ~ 600,000.

He actually says it was recorded on Thursday, July 3rd. One presumes he spent July 4th with a "God Bless America" sentiment and vibe. .

Whoa. People are losing it over this interview without having seen a single frame (yes, I know it was shot on video). It might be better to judge whether @TuckerCarlson is a dupe, a foreign agent, an Iran-apologist or an America-first person AFTER watching and listening to the.

The American political class doesn't really care about human rights beyond some sympathetic rhetoric (see: Gaza, Egypt, Sudan et al) so those issues resonate with Iranians both inside and outside the country. But @TuckerCarlson isn't conducting the interview for us. He's.
