That's rather interesting that Iran wants talks with just the US and not other Muslim leaders to be present.

Another drone may have been sent out after the first one was shot down. So far only TousiTV is reporting it and I can't find any others talking about it at the moment.

Mossad, faulty gas lines, or the US getting mad that they tried to touch our ships?

Peace talk are not going to result in anything productive. Iran is doing it for optics and hopefully a delay in retribution. The USA is doing it for optics.

Just saw a report on X that the second drone was shot down as well.

Have only seen this from one source.

I don't know how to embed links so don't hate me for not posting it.

Most muslim leaders do not like the Shia sect. Iran is very alone in this as a state.

Iran was once majority Sunni. However, the Safavids persecuted Sunnis, driving the spread of Shiism across the country. Eventually this turned Iran into a majority-Shiite nation under Twelver Shiism, a transformation still evident today.

Israel is requesting freedom to act on it's own. They know if they strike first we will have to back them up and hasten the fall of the regime.

Are there any other countries with a Shia dominated government?

Iraq is. The Kurds are only technically Shia but still maintain their cultural matriarchal society based on Zoroasterism.

FYI, Shia pets, are a minority in Iran. The largest segment is agnostic/athiest followed by Zororasterism, Christianity and Judaism. A lot of those are converts in the last decade or so.

Israel can jump off a bridge.
Sure let Israel bomb them and flame the whole region again. MiC loves the idea. Why make the sunni feel bad for them.

Agree. Trump is trying to show he’s trying all diplomatic efforts and at the same time our forces are getting more prepared.

Israel always get their way, and we always back their play. I don't like it, but I'm used to it now. This is what happens when all of your leaders have either been bribed or compromised.

I think our surgical strikes on Iran stopped much worse from Israel.
