Tehran has announced a list of its "red lines" in negotiations with the United States.

The Iranian government has provided Pakistani mediators with a list of its "red lines" for negotiations with the United States in Islamabad. Tehran insists that these demands must be strictly met before any final peace agreement can be reached.

According to IRIB, Tehran is demanding the Islamic Republic's sovereign control over the Strait of Hormuz, the payment of war reparations by the United States and its allies to compensate for the damage caused during the armed conflict, the complete unfreezing of frozen Iranian assets, and the achievement of a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire throughout the region.

Meanwhile, the first round of US-Iranian talks began in Pakistan's capital. The Iranian delegation is led by Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of the Islamic Republic's Parliament, and the American delegation is led by US Vice President James Vance. The working basis for the discussions was Tehran's 10-point proposal, on some of which, according to Trump, certain agreements have already been reached.

According to American media reports, the Iranian delegation, which includes not only negotiators but also technical specialists, consists of 71 people. Iran has sent hard-liners against the United States to the talks in Islamabad. Specifically, one of the delegation's members, Ali Akbar Ahmadian, is the author of the decision to close the Strait of Hormuz. The delegation also includes Abolfazl Amwei, the sponsor of the law increasing uranium enrichment. Trump has already stated that if the negotiations fail, there will be a "reset."

Good luck, Iran! Put it to the fascists' mercy!

[Gavrilo Princip]

Iran has no such thing as red lines. These shameful words don't apply to the Persians. They've proven it with their actions. Victory to you, Iran.

The Iranian government has given Pakistani mediators a list of its "red lines."

Well, let's see how many sparkling jokes about red markers there are in this thread...

[phrases]

The markers will be green. This is Islam, after all. But the usual nonsense like #holdoniran! couldn't be avoided. There, in the east, there's no snotty ice, and everything is far from what the armchair fantasists would like. Just like in any other topic.

Incidentally, I'm curious if anyone notices that, if we're drawing analogies, Iran is similar to Ukraine in this war, and the US is similar to Russia? Well, except that no one is helping Iran, and no one is imposing a hundred hundred sanctions against the Americans.

[Dilettante grandfather]

Stand your ground to the end. You're in a winning position; the US can intimidate, but it can't bite.

[Irek]

The shaggy-maned one nods, and the Zionists will abandon them all and start provocations.

[ZODIAC]

I doubt that the Americans will pay them compensation and unfreeze their assets. These two points may become a stumbling block and a truce will not be reached in the near future, but good luck to Iran.

Remember the phrase: “red-haired, often with various men in restaurants, dyes her hair with streptocide” from the film “The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed” (1979)?
I look at this “master of the world” and understand that in front of me is -
an old, unbalanced psychopath suffering from narcissism, engaging in political squabbles with various men, a fan (was) of attending various parties with elements of pedophilia, and dyes his hair with streptocide.

When dyeing hair with red streptocide (sulfanilamide prontosil), a straw-yellow color was obtained.

Hold the line, Iran! The ice has broken and your allies are on the move. Help is sure to come.

[Victor Leningradets]

The ice has broken and your allies are stirring. Help is sure to come.

If we are to quote Ilf and Petrov, then the words from O. Bender’s telegram would be appropriate:

Tehran demands respect for the Islamic Republic's sovereign control over the Strait of Hormuz,

Meanwhile:

Axios: US ships pass through the Strait of Hormuz for the first time since the war began

Several US Navy warships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz, Axios reports, citing a US official.

According to the publication, the maneuver was not coordinated with Iran.

And how should this be understood now?

Tehran insists that these demands must be strictly followed until conclusion any final peace agreement.

It seems that the Iranians will throw a full basket of diplomatic goods at the Americans.
Even if no agreement is reached.

And how is it to be understood now?

As information provided by Americans.

...Iran issued a warning to the destroyer and also directly informed the Pakistani mediator that the ship would be targeted for attack within 30 minutes if it continued moving, and that this situation would damage the US-Iran negotiations.....these actions led to the order to stop the destroyer.

It's insulting and humiliating to use the term "red lines" in relation to Iran. After all, Iran is a country that is genuinely fighting and achieving success (even against a superpower like the United States and its allies... primarily Israel). Iran doesn't beg on its knees for negotiations, doesn't draw lines, doesn't issue warnings, but rather fights fiercely for its interests. Because it knows that only strength and success on the battlefield matter in international relations today. And when the situation demands negotiations to end this conflict, Iran is capable of publicly, clearly, and specifically defining its goals and interests. And all this in a situation where Iran doesn't possess usable nuclear weapons and has never called itself a power or even a superpower... for example, in the Middle East. But it has a leadership capable of truly defending the interests of the country and its people, and not only in various forums, through speeches by various representatives, speakers, etc., but also directly in combat. In a word, real men are at the helm, who don’t wear skirts, but wear trousers.

Tehran demands respect for the Islamic Republic's sovereign control over the Strait of Hormuz

To be fair, it should be noted that the strait cannot be entirely owned (under sovereign control) by Iran. At the very least, the strait's other "sovereign" is Oman. Moreover, the fairways in the narrowest part of the strait are within Omani territorial waters.

[nik-mazur]

Quote: olbop

At least the other "sovereign" of the strait is Oman.

To paraphrase slightly: “He has the right… He doesn’t have the right… The main thing is who has the gun!”

[olboop]

So, we will respond to lawlessness with lawlessness?

[nik-mazur]

Quote: olbop

shall we respond to lawlessness with lawlessness?

What does this have to do with us? Let Oman worry about whose gun is bigger.
Again, you may not like it, but reality is what it is and nothing else. In this situation, this means Iran can close the Gulf, but Oman can't open it. It's that simple.
