Give up the nuclear program, sort out the proxies, guarantee the Hormuzz straits, in return lifting sanctions. But a country has got to be able to defend itself. The problem is none of the main countries involved have leaderships that can in any way be described as moderate.

Agree with most of that including the self defence, but even forgetting about nukes, should they be allowed to develop ballistics capable of reaching 'the great satan'.

The problem is that Iran sees itself without a deterrent against attack when it has a near neighbour with nukes...

And it's a country that is intent on expanding it's territory...

It looks at countries with equally oppressive regimes and notes that they aren't attacked because they too have nukes...

Therefore they engage in an asymmetrical type of conflict, hence the proxies...

The only way to stop this is to tackle the root cause...

Israel goes back to the internationally agreed borders and a recognised two state solution with Palestine...

Those who decry Iran for refusing to recognise Israel fail to notice that israel refuses to recognise the right for the Palestinians to have their own state!

Two points on that.

By internationally agreed borders I assume you mean the pre 1967 borders. If these are acceptable to the Arabs, why did they invade Israel in 1967?

Palestinians have rejected a two state solution on at least 4 occasions, 1937 Peel Commission, 1947 UN resolution 181 and twice by Yasser Arafat in the build up to the Oslo Accords.
If the Palestinians reject a two state solution and refuse to acknowledge the right of Israel to exist where is the starting point?
 
Trumpf’s latest ramblings suggest he still sees this as a Venezuelan type situation. Irann has a completely different outlook on life including politics. The Don thinks everyone is as obsessed about money as him.

Worth a watch, Tousi TV asserts the Iranian people did assist the 2nd pilot.

This sounds more like propaganda than reality. I cannot see the Iranian people putting their lives at risk against a regime that would have surely killed them for doing such a thing. Plus a $66.0000 bounty for anyone that found him would have been more of an appeal to hand him over rather than help him escape. A nice thought is about all I can make of this.
