Iran offers no response to Damascus strike if US secures Gaza ceasefire - report
The report comes as negotiations for a ceasefire and hostage release deal resume between Israel and Hamas in Cairo.
Iran informed the US that it would refrain from responding to the airstrike in which senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commanders were killed in Damascus if a ceasefire in Gaza is reached, Jadeh Iran reported on Sunday.
The news outlet cited an anonymous Arab diplomatic source, saying the source spoke to the news outlet two days ago. The source added that "If America succeeds in containing the situation, it will be a great success for the Biden administration and we can build on that."
There are countless good reasons for a ceasefire in Gaza. None for otherwise.
None for otherwise.
A ceasefire may allow Hamas to regroup and survive, which would be a bad thing. Then again, from my couch it seems like IDF is not about to destroy Hamas completely with this war.
You know what would be a bad thing? Letting Israel government and their IDF have their way and keep murdering more and more innocent people. A ceasefire is definitely needed.
They (Israel government) currently have murdered around 33 000 – 35 000 Palestinian people already. Hamas is a literal creation by Israel, Israel has done so much horrifying things from 1948 up to 1987 that a group of normal people made Hamas and become violent.
Want Hamas to stop existing? Then let Israel stop their ethnic cleansing, genocide and at least give half of the land back (that was and stays Palestinian land).
An occupier cannot become its owner.
Hamas is bigger than ever right now. This was foretold 6 months ago before israel started slaughtering civilians. It is reality now
The only way for this not to be the case so far has been to murder thousands of children.
Call me old fashioned but maybe we should take the chance and not murder innocent children.
Interesting move by Iran if true.
Well the ball is in biden’s court
Does Biden have the power to stop supporting the war? Like will any action be null and void due to the USA political structure or does he in fact have some sort of power that can stop all support by a stroke of the pen?
Super great for Iran if this happens, absolutely awesome for the hostages in Gaza.
Out of mere curiosity I checked your comment history and well was not surprised to be honest.
- Making things immediately personal.
- Claims without actual evidence (the Hamas rape comments)
- Calling people ''deranged''
It's clear as day you are at least a Israel supporter, I won't be surprised if you're a Zionist. I'm always curious why Israel supporters always makes things immediately personal, claims things without clear evidence and insults.
There's plenty of misinformation perpetrated by both sides. Singling out the Zionists isn't giving much. That being said, we need to push our discourse to start from factual positions. I bet 99% people on social media only skim headlines and have no idea what the articles discuss or the factual matters of what they are talking about.
Iranian diplomacy operates along the lines of a Jinn. Every move feels like a Faustian bargain. You ask the Jinn for a giant penis and it gives you a giant penis attached to your head, then disappears in a puff of smoke.
Like that time they had a nuclear deal with America and then Trump ripped it up?
The Americans are the sinister and mendacious psychopaths of international diplomacy. It's much less nuanced and not very interesting.
Super great for Iran if this happens, super awful for the hostages being raped to death in Gaza.
One, there's been no proof of rape happening by them (although there's probably some sexual assault and harassment, which is obviously terrible. I condemn Hamas, etc.). Two, you think they have a higher chance of getting the hostages back if they continue this indiscriminate bombing campaign over actual negotiation? There's a reason families of the hostages have been protesting Netanyahu. He doesn't give a shit about the hostages. He'd rather they all die than have an extended ceasefire.
Shame on Iran for using the Palestinians as a pawn once again.
What? They are using their leverage to save the Palestinians.
The issue is about Iran promising retaliation, something Israel had in their calculations long before executing the strike on Iran in Damascus.
Israel has historically shown that they are more than capable of striking targets inside Iran. Iran knows exactly this and this is the reason for them using the Palestinians as a shield to avoid an escalation.
Ask yourself, was the offer time limited? If not, then there is actually nothing stopping the suffering of the Palestinian people in the "offer" from Iran.
So, what aces up the sleeve does Iran have here? What leverage do you speak of?
Excellent point. In our struggle against Iran it is very important to deny them this tactic. Which is why Israel should immediately stop massacring, occupying, oppressing, and ethnically cleansing the Palestinians. A free independent Palestine will definitely strip Iran of a lot of leverage in the region. To politically destroy and defeat the Iranian regime, let us all unite in proclaiming Free Palestine!
