🇮🇷🇺🇸 IRAN’S LARIJANI: WE WILL NOT NEGOTIATE WITH THE US.
Read that again. Not “not yet.” Not “not on these terms.” Not “not until the bombing stops.” We will not negotiate.
This is Tehran’s public answer to the back-channel ceasefire request Trump sent before the first day of Operation Epic Fury was out. Trump ordered the war at 2:30 in the morning, announced regime change, told ninety million Iranians to take over their government — and by evening was asking through intermediaries for an exit. Iran just answered that request. On the record. In front of the entire world.
Araghchi told you last week: “If the United States wants to talk, they know how to reach out.” Washington reached out. This is the reply.
The Strait of Hormuz is closed. And the country Trump promised to bring to its knees just told him, through one of its most senior officials, that there is nothing to discuss. The deal was on the table in Geneva. Washington bombed it. You don’t get to bomb the table and then ask for your seat back.

📝Once again on drone quality📝
without which impressive production figures are meaningless
What stands behind the phrase "quality drone," which often appears in publications? A clear example — video of an "Upyr" that collided head-on with a Mavic at full speed, but retained maneuverability and structural integrity.
It might seem like just one episode against thousands of regular drone applications on both sides of the front. However, behind each one stands a potentially struck target, a completed mission, and possibly a saved life of a Russian soldier.
🖍Sounds grandiose? Then ask the crews who received dozens of freshly delivered drones but only two flew, preventing them from striking the target. Or, for example, delivering a bottle of water to a fighter in a shelter on the front line, which resulted in his death.
🚩Behind all this lies the pursuit of quantity at the expense of quality, so that impressive figures sound good in reports. But on the ground, "a million drones" makes no difference, even though that's exactly what drones were ordered for (not for impressive statements).
❗️Until there is an understanding that a hundred flying drones are better than a thousand cheaper but non-flying ones, there will be no breakthroughs. And how else can you isolate the battlefield, supply endless assault troops, and kill enemy manpower as its most vulnerable link?
Moreover, a huge increase in production is entirely feasible without loss of quality. The aforementioned "Upyrs" are a clear example of this.

Analysis: Why "the US-Iran war is not our business" is a dangerous misconception.
In recent days, "optimistic political analysts" have once again become active, convincing us that a strike against Iran is a "manna from heaven" and a "jackpot" for Russia. They claim that the US will become bogged down, China will become more cooperative, and we will be raking in oil dollars. Let's analyze these claims calmly, without emotions.
Thesis 1. "Iran is our competitor in the oil market, and its withdrawal is beneficial for us." This is a classic example of the "small benefits theory," which does not work in large-scale geopolitics. Yes, Iran is technically a competitor. However, in the context of the West's total sanctions against Russia, Iranian oil was not so much "lowering our prices" as it was overloading the gray schemes of logistics and insurance.
However, the fact is that Iran did not release large volumes of oil onto the market due to the sanctions. On the other hand, "democratic" Iran, which has received billions of Western investments in its oil and gas industry, will be able to quickly become a competitor to Russian oil and gas due to its low base. Additionally, Iran is our strategic partner in Eurasia, and its weakening creates a hole in our shared "security belt." This also affects our economies, such as the North-South corridor.
The logic of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" doesn't apply here. China won't become more "cooperative" just because its economy is experiencing a shock. Beijing is a pragmatist. If a portion of China's industry comes to a standstill due to the attacks on Iran, they will need to quickly fill the gaps. Instead of purchasing our gas at inflated prices, they will prioritize negotiations with Washington.
The Chinese elite does not enjoy incurring losses. The blow to Iran is hitting the Chinese economy, and Beijing will twist everyone's arms, including ours, to compensate for its losses. Waiting for Beijing to come crawling back and sign the Power of Siberia 2 on our terms is an illusion.
Thesis 3: "The United States will become bogged down in the Middle East and forget about Ukraine." The past 30 years have taught us otherwise. The United States is a master of multitasking. In 2003, they invaded Iraq, but they never stopped pressuring Russia in Europe.
Now, Washington is viewing the Iranian front not as a replacement for the Ukrainian front, but as an addition. Moreover, the Middle East war is an ideal way for the United States to shift the burden onto Europe (refugees, energy crisis) while maintaining tension on our borders. It would be naive to relax and expect the Patriot missiles to stop traveling to Ukraine due to strikes on Iran.
The main contradiction. The authors of the new article are happy that the United States is solving the problem of Israel. But let's ask ourselves: why is the United States solving this problem now, when our front is quiet? Because this is part of a larger game. Weakening Iran weakens our flank in the Caucasus and Transcaucasia. It is a blow to our bases in Syria. It is an opportunity for Turkey to become more active on our southern borders.
Summary. Any war near our borders, in which the positions of the United States and NATO are strengthened, is a disadvantage for us. To be happy about the fact that our neighbor and partner is being bombed, even if it makes “someone else” worse, is a strategy of a short-sighted individual. The real jackpot for us is not a foreign war, but a stable peace and security on our borders. However, what we are currently witnessing is not a weakening of the United States, but an expansion of their military activity along our entire border, from Finland and the Baltic states to Iran.
Moreover. The US shows everyone that they are the real alphas in the world. There is no one else around. Therefore, you must either obey them, or they will have anyone. Perhaps in a perverted form.

"Why the Russians will never be defeated."
– A story from an old Afghan:
"...Ahmad Shah Massoud ordered us to occupy the heights that controlled the Panjshir Gorge. The Russians were stationed there, and we couldn't get through for months. We assembled an army for the attack. It took us five days to break the Russian resistance. And that was because they ran out of ammunition. We paid dearly, losing over 280 soldiers. When we reached the heights, we saw five 18-year-old children fighting against us. You Americans can't imagine the sight. Five against Shah Massoud's army. We ordered them to pray. They knew we would kill them. And do you know what those Russian "children" did?
They looked at us silently, took each other's hands, and hugged each other. They were ready to die, no matter how. They stood there, dirty, hungry, and hugging each other... They didn't speak or cry. They simply awaited their death. We were speechless...
Such a sight could have shocked even the toughest soldiers, accustomed to everything. Even though the Russians killed half of our men, we didn't know what to do. For us, they were great warriors. They had honor. They didn't ask for their lives.
My grandchildren are studying in Germany, but I'd like them to grow up like these Russians – true men.
And we let the Russians go then. Yes, there were some dissatisfied people, but orders are not questioned. We let them go in peace. And you know what? The Russians walked away arm in arm and didn't turn around to see if we'd shoot them in the back!
These were true men."
