I don't believe Mossad was involved in the Bandar Abbas bombing.
Mossad bombings are precise and target single apartments/rooms. This one is more messy and did widespread damage. There are also no gas pipes which could explain what happened as any kind of accident.
This is likely an IRGC building used to host regime thugs. All furniture and even the curtains are identical. There's barbed wire and security outside. This was no residential building. Only the enemy lives here.
Further, we have "Long Live the Shah" written outside around the time of the bombing.
I strongly believe an Iranian monarchist militia is taking revenge for the massacres. Not only that - they have gotten access to explosives and morr advances weaponry.
Combine this with mass doxxing of basijis and IRGC terrorists, and you're looking at a real insurgency.
Javid Shah.

the Islamic Republic, it works like a charm--dangling the fantasy of engagement to lure in the credulous while buying time. The Islamic Republic's plays are utterly predictable. One of the few remaining tools it has is to offer negotiations to nowhere at the last minute to stall.
China does same thing on trade. It’s used against us specifically because they know our president is term limited and they can run out the clock and hope the next president is weak.
Trumps biggest fault is falling for this. It’s commendable that he seeks a peaceful and diplomatic solution because he wants to save lives, but you have to realize who you’re dealing with. They don’t care about lives or their people. The only thing these savages respond to is force. You must take the gloves off and make them fear you.
Same with trade with China. Don’t give an inch and reduce tariffs while negotiating terms. They’ll give you token wins and run the clock. You break their economy and keep the boot on their neck until the terms are settled and signed. And the first time they break the terms you break their economy again.
We don’t have the world’s most advanced economy and military for nothing. You fricking use it and bully the frick out of them. They do not want this smoke no matter the saber rattling they do, and they want access to the American consumer and cannot survive without it. We hold all the cards, just stop being nice and betting small to keep them in the game. Go all in and break them

Russia knows that it would be a futile exercise and would only get it's own troops killed. They are already fighting in Ukraine and probably don't want to extend it's troops to another front. Additionally, Iran can't keep the lights on much less pay for new military equipment from Russia for an extended conflict.

All that is true but Russia signed a defense deal with Iran and now is backing out of it. Russia is a nation who cannot be trusted to keep their word.

The Iran they made that agreement with won't exist in 7 days.

With Iran, Trump wants it to be obvious he took every opportunity to avoid military intervention, before he releases the hounds.

No, he’s pussing out. He is not all interested in the Iran protestors, he wants a nuclear deal, He is fine with leaving the mullahs in control.

Well beloved Taiwan owes US citizens nearly a trillion dollars in defunct bonds from WW2.
NATO countries did not fulfill their obligation for nearly 70 years.
And Russia lost 10s of millions of people waiting for the Allies to get off their arse and invade Europe during WW2.
The US has much more in common with Russia than most of our western "allies".

This and this.
Rubio said as much, its a typical tactic. So we just lay out the parameters and thats it, no more "oh poor me we are trying to negotiate" nonsense.
