Iranian Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister for Policy Majid Takht Ravanchi announced that Iran will remain a member of the NPT. Iranian officials have previously threatened to withdraw from the NPT in response to US and Israeli strikes.

And “Aryan” identity has used at times to legitimate this (which the Nazis tried to instrumentalise, as @davidmotadel.bsky.social and @arashtehran.bsky.social have written about). iranwire.com/en/sardari-p...

I see three possible options right now: 1. Khamenei does a khomeini ca. 1988 and drinks the “poisoned chalice” and accepts an imposed deal; or 2. He digs in and becomes a Hassan Nasrallah and gets knocked off; or 3. There’s a coup and a different version of IRI appears.

Because I'm hardwired to think of the strategic dimensions of conflicts such as this, I really appreciate pieces like this one from @arashtehran.bsky.social who gives voice here to Iranian opposition and pro-democracy activists, who hate the regime, but fear Israeli actions. 13/
