About Iran: the ceasefire is likely temporary. How temporary depends on how badly Iran uranium enrichment capabilities are degraded. It also depends on political factors in the US and Israel.

Yes, correct. I saw the story in India Today when PV saab was forced to open up India, IIRC. I cross checked with people who would have been in the know.

One thing I am sure of now is that there was a story in one of the very popular news magazines and my vague memory is that it was it was India Today. When did Illustrated Weekly stop publishing? It could have been that too.

Vacuously true.

Did not Sam Pitgaya use Unkil's old equipment and remodel as CDOT and make money in the interim!!
Also Pitgaya has been involved in many guplas noo!

That came later. AFAIK, he put together a capable group who did develop the switch from ground up. I know a few. They are no slouches. He is lot more technical than NRN sir. NRN's only innovation is 24x7 development model and slave driving. Pitroda is somewhat similar to APJ Abdul Kalam ji.

Iran president signs law suspending cooperation with IAEA

Welp, things just keep sliding. Iran officially suspended cooperation with the IAEA after the recent Israeli and U.S. strikes — and now Grossi (IAEA chief) might get banned from even entering the country. His request to visit bombed nuclear sites? Flat-out rejected.

What’s wild is how much easier it became for hardliners to take the wheel after Trump pulled out of the JCPOA. That move totally sidelined the moderates — now it’s mostly the more radical voices calling the shots in Tehran. Any chance of balanced diplomacy got shoved to the back of the shelf (if it was still there).

As long as Iran does not believe in the right of Israel to exist, no amount diplomacy (isn't all diplomacy balanced by definition?! ) will work. They will string the world along till they get nucs. Now is as good time as any to have called their double game and bluff. It is a tad too late in fact. That should have been done before giving them pallets of cash.
