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.”

    I’ve provided sources:

    I don’t know if you’re doing this intentionally, but you’re sliding in a lot of weasely language:

    In perpetuity

    So, to circle back to the initial claim: stopping US sales of weapons wouldn’t change much, would it? Realistically speaking. The cash aid has liminted effect, since they have enough capital anyway. Germany has nothing to do with it, since they can still shop around (despite your imaginary 'limited list of countries that will supply weapons"). They’ve already purchased enough arsenal to turn the middle east into glass (see link above).

    So what exactly are we arguing at this point? Are you just being a contrarian for the sake of it?

      You’ve only demonstrated that they have a lot of NUCLEAR weapons stockpiled. Aka the one kind of weapon they CAN’T use because then they wouldn’t be able to use the newly stolen land for settlements and upscale oceanfront real estate projects, might not even be able to extract the offshore gas they’re also eager to steal. So nukes are useless.

      As for your claims that breaking international rules and norms not decreasing the number of countries that will do business with you, allow me to remind you of Apartheid South Africa and present day Russia.

      Not having the billions worth of weapons and cash from the US OR the support of other countries strongarmed into it by the US would make it MUCH harder for Israel to carry on their genocide, if not downright impossible.

      So what exactly are we arguing at this point? Are you just being a contrarian for the sake of it?

      Obviously not, but since you’ve now proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that you’re impervious to reason when it comes to your pet theory of an omnipotent Israel, I’m gonna drop it now. Have a nice day.

        There are three links in that post. Only one deals with nuclear weapons. If you can’t be bothered to read what others post, then you’re just here for grandstanding and to be a contrarian. The third link specifically deals with this. Israel can wipe out Gaza already ten times over. There is no doubt they can’t.
