March 7 (Reuters) – Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Saturday that its temporary leadership council had approved the suspension of attacks against neighboring countries unless an attack on Iran came from those countries.
The announcement came as Iran continued to launch attacks in the region in response to U.S.-Israeli strikes on the Islamic Republic.

Its hard to launch missiles at your neighbours when you dont have many missile launchers left

LOL. Yeah, more like we ran out of launchers.

Seems like a nice way to make a strategic decision sound like an olive branch. Really it means they’ll focus the rest of what they have on military targets

Lets game it out:
Jordan/Iraq/Kuwait cant stop US /Israel for different reasons.
Bahrain will do as Saudi orders
Oman is least involved and affected, its actions have limited impact.
Question boils down to Saudi/UAE/Qatar.
If they block:
– US and allies can focus in Iran without the headache of defending Gulf coast.
– Opening up Hormuz becomes harder.
– Arial attack vectors remain intact from Israel and CSGs
– US has to expend fewer interceptors, but it’s unlikely gulf countries will let US take back remaining stocks.
– Gulf states need to trust Iran’s word
If they dont block:
– there is fear of interceptors running out in Gulf.
– easier to keep hormuz open
– higher risk of us service members death
– higher sortie rate by USAF and much better SIGINT

This episode was baffling. By attacking their neutral neighbors, Iran immediately tossed out their Victim Card. How have these guys been in business for this long?

The damage is already done, I don’t think that any of their neighbors will forget any of that in the next decade

They’ve managed to bomb / attack all of the countries who might have been able to urge the US and Israel some restraint.

Wow there goes Iran’s biggest lever on the US. That’s big if true. Israel and american bases are built to handle much more fire, for much longer. It was the gulf countries, that paid for US Ally+ Max with all the nice gifts they got donnie, that couldn’t. They were the ones who were supposed to get America to stop.
Now it’s just about Trump changing his actions because most Americans oppose it. So never basically.

I guess they announced this yesterday and I woke up to an amber alert.
Let’s hope this is true and we’re able to continue living in peace.

If thr Gulf countires weren’t that cowards, they could join Israel + US alliance to take down Iran faster
But now they proved to Iran how easy to scare them

They must have realised that their strategy of attacking their neighbours in order to pressure the US and Israel into stopping the bombardments wouldn’t work, and would result in the Gulf states becoming even more hostile. They must also have realised that their striking capacity had been massively diminished since the outbreak of the war, so they’re trying to mask their diminishing capacities as goodwill.

Well that’s nice of them.. to be fair.. they’re kinda getting their shit pushed in.. most of what they were using to attack their neighbors has been turned to rubble thanks to Uncle Sam

It is strategic and reframes themselves as the defender, and positions those who allow US and Israel to strike them as belligerents.
The energy exporting countries may build this into an acceptable offramp for the conflict.

The worse for Iran is going to come this week.
There’ll be full surrender within a month.
Does Trump have the ego to do a full MacArthur overseeing the surrender on board the USS Gerald Ford
