Esmaeil Baqaei is Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesperson.

I don't think the Iranian people have many attractive options for being a refuge too and the evacuation cities seemed limited

Unlike assad gunning his own people down I don't see a widespread reason for Iranians to flee the entire country, especially because of its land mass and because Israel typically warns what it will hit so it's fairly predictable where to leave

I don't see mass migration out of Iran, i just don't. I don't think other neighbors would really want to take in Iranians but i could be wrong, I'm just not seeing any signs of it other than that he initial mass evacuation

Even so i don't think they'd leave the country entirely

@Vermillion-Rx

I do not believe this will be the case from Iran. I really don't

As long as this is all there is to all this, you'll be right

@Vermillion-Rx I'm still not thrilled about the strikes after all the "no more wars!" thing, but Secretary Rubio reassured me a bit in that video I linked earlier.

This may have been necessary after all. Time will tell.

@Typo-MAGAshiv

huh. I would not have expected that.

Yup. I'm looking at this issue very differently than most I would say

Like I said earlier I'm going to keep dying on this hill, I am very confident in trump 47 compared to Trump 45

Partly because he staffed better this time around, but also because the global climate is more in lockstep with following the program than before

It's a completely different environment and it's not surprising trump can easily get outcomes he wants this time

@Vermillion-Rx

I'm pretty sure what happens is IAEA inspectors show up, say "is this everything" , the Iranians just say yes and then suddenly Iran is "in compliance"

That's pretty much what happened with Iraq, but most of us didn't buy the bullshit.

@Typo-MAGAshiv

Part of my problem with people saying Iran complies with IAEA is that these international agencies are often agenda driven and have soft influence

I'm pretty sure what happens is IAEA inspectors show up, say "is this everything" , the Iranians just say yes and then suddenly Iran is "in compliance"

Just like the UN and WHO are corrupt as hell and massive hypocritical pushovers, I would not be surprised if IAEA does a half-assed job and then just says "yup all good, we believe U"

And then suddenly the headline is "Iran is complying"

There seems to be some very high level intel to the contrary if such drastic and politically risky action was taken against it

@First-light

Two enemies negotiated in bad faith

There were several nations involved.

Muslim countries... civilized

LOL!

@SeasonedRP yeah, they pretty much asked permission to do it, and our troops evacuated all personnel and essential equipment, so they hit nothing of significance.

But like you said, it allowed them to save face a bit.

@Vermillion-Rx huh. I would not have expected that.
