Iran Analyst: Negotiation Over, Missiles Will Speak; Nuclear Program Unaffected

Iran's Stance on Negotiations and Conflict

• 💡 An analyst close to the Iranian regime states that Iran is "very united" in response to Israeli attacks.
• 🎯 The time for negotiation is deemed over, with the "language of talks" now being missiles.
• ⚠️ Talks may only occur if Israel admits defeat and is sufficiently punished, which is considered unlikely soon.

Iran's Nuclear Program and Capabilities

• 🔬 Israel reportedly struck nuclear facilities at Natanz (enriching uranium to 60%) and Fordo.
• 🚀 The analyst claims that even 30,000lb US bunker busters would be unable to penetrate Fordo, which is located approximately 90 meters underground.
• ⚡ This suggests Iran's enrichment capability may remain unaffected by such strikes.

Internal Situation and Public Opinion in Iran

• 💬 Life in Tehran is described as "going on" normally, with many relatives remaining at home.
• ⏳ The situation is perceived as less severe than during the Iran-Iraq War.
• 📊 While external analysts suggest Iran's regional power has weakened, the government structure remains strong.
• 👥 An estimated 20% of Iranians may want the government toppled, with only 5% actively participating in protests, though independent organizations suggest these numbers are reversed.
