According to well-informed sources, Iran rejected a proposal by US intelligence – made via a third party – that Trump be allowed to bomb one, two or three clear objectives, to be chosen by Iran, so that both countries could appear to come out as winners and Trump could save face. Iran categorically rejected the offer and sent its reply: even an attack against an empty sandy beach in Iran would trigger a missile launch against US objectives in the Gulf.

the best part is actually the next few paragraphs imo

quote:

Moreover, Iran has established a joint operations room to inform all its allies in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Afghanistan of every step it is adopting in confronting the US in case of all-out war in the Middle East. Iran’s allies have increased their level of readiness and alert to the highest level; they will participate in the war from the moment it begins if necessary. According to sources, Iran’s allies will not hesitate to open fire against an already agreed on bank of objectives in a perfectly organised, orchestrated, synchronised and graduated response, anticipating a war that may last many months.

Sources confirmed that, in case of war, Iran aims to stop the flow of oil from the Middle East completely, not by targeting tankers but by hitting the sources of oil in every single Middle Eastern country, whether these countries are considered allies or enemies. The objective will be to cease all oil exports from the Middle East to the rest of the world.

Iran is gonna hold the world's balls in a vicegrip if they suspend oil exports from Hormuz and will definitely get the EU, China and Russia to intervene if that happens ao it's a dangerous gamble but also the best choice considering how damaging Trump's embargo is.

Magnier is basically the Syrian equivalent of those DC pundits that just print what the State Department and Pentagon want publicized. Which makes him better than most of those guys.

He did get into a beef with Hezbollah a while back though which was funny.

Tbh if Iran promises to destroy the oil fields then maybe war's not the worst thing ever, it would be incredible if that's what destroyed capitalism
