War begins with "pictures"!

The least that can be said is that the visit of Witkoff and Kushner to take pictures aboard the destroyer Lincoln, and the response of Araghchi less than twenty-four hours later, with similar pictures aboard an Iranian warship in the Arabian Sea, carry unmistakable connotations. Both parties resorted to exchanging insults through pictures and flexing muscles after the negotiations stalled. Tehran believes that the cost of these negotiations is much less than the cost of what is being offered to it: trimming its nails, amputating its arms, and zeroing its nuclear counter. It knows that if it does, it will become an easy meal for Trump, who will consume it without suffering from indigestion. The exchange of pictures is like the exchange of words before engaging in punches. If the first picture carries the meaning of the desire for acquisition, dominance, and subjugation by the force of arrogance, then the second carries the meaning of resistance, in whose body there is no inch left without a sword blow, a spear thrust, or an arrow shot. War, as an ancient poet said, begins with words, or pictures, if that were available to those who fought wars with horses, night, desert, spear, paper, and pen. The jostling of ships, battleships, and aircraft carriers in narrow waterways resembles the jostling of football players in the penalty area in the last breaths of a decisive match. Any miscalculated move could result in a friction that generates a penalty kick that could cause a bloody military "remontada," turning the result upside down and destroying the stadium and the audience at the same time. In visible evidence and public statements, the probability of war breaking out outweighs the chance of avoiding it. Both parties may engage in it unwillingly, due to misjudgment, or by the act of an instigator who lights a match in a region where everything is flammable. When war breaks out, no one can predict its outcomes, for the ghost of Nagasaki and Hiroshima hovers around Tehran and Qom... This time, the enemy will not accept less than complete subjugation amidst an international environment governed by Epstein's rules. The movement of "Trump's Armada" is no longer just a maneuver, or pressure on the exposed Iranian nerves, but rather a "dance on the edge of the abyss".. And what do you know about it?!
