:Trump should be grateful to Pakistani mediators - they threw him a lifeline to get him out of that [[stupid]] & impotent threat to nuke Iran in 48 hours.

*[[Robert Pape]]: [https://archive.is/JfrRn#selection-533.0-533.48 The War Is Turning Iran Into a Major World Power].
:"A fourth center of global power is quickly emerging — Iran — that does not rival those three [US, China, Russia] nations economically or militarily. Instead, its newfound power derives from its control over the most important energy choke point in the global economy, the [[Strait of Hormuz]]....The [[United States]] faces a difficult choice: either commit to a long-term effort to reassert control over the Strait of Hormuz, or accept a new global [[energy]] arrangement in which U.S. control is no longer assured. If it chooses acceptance, the outcome is clear: The international system will reorganize with [[Iran]] as a fourth center of global power. Yet if the United States chooses to reassert [[military]] control, it is in for a long battle, one it could well lose." [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeyFMYuPDk8][https://youtu.be/ecjRTJ1YVeM]
:Bottomline: It is [[psyop]] & [[lie]] to label Iran as the largest "state sponsor of [[terrorism]]", per the [[US State Department]]'s own records and figures. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|Abnormal is fine. Stupid isn't.]]</sup> 15:35, April 10, 2026 (EDT)
