What the former FM @JZarif is explaining here is that with the experience of Lamerd in Iran (where civilians were killed by Lockheed Martin's Precision Strike Missile, which explodes midair and spreads shrapnel over a large area), the residents of that area are opposed to negotiations with the U.S. while elsewhere the average is 60% for negotiations.

Yeah, FDD has been at war with Iran since its founding, following Israel's longer standing war with Iran.

Firstly, there has been no evidenced offered as to what exactly the "plot" was. Secondly, It is not possible for an attack on RAF Fairford, even if it happens or was planned, to be called a "terror" plot. There is and was no intention to "spread terror" among a general population in attacking a military base in the middle of a war.

Bizarre that they won’t say what the “plot” was, why the planes had to be flown out ASAP, and why those arrested are free on bail if they were “plotting” a major attack on a RAF base. Make it make sense.

If you're a real estate guy and screw up with plans for a project, you can walk away and not much will happen. You might lose money, you might get sued; you may settle a dispute with cash.

Given that the Saudi ambassador in Tehran attended FM @araghchi 's sister's funeral, and given that just today he and the Saudi FM spoke, relations are reasonably friendly these days, despite all the conflict around.
