Because of the territorial ambitions of the leaders on both sides, 2 million soldiers and civilians from Russia and Ukraine have died. This death and destruction must end soon.
False narrative. According to reports on the ground there is no real public support, however, mercenaries have been brought in from both Afghanistan and Irak. Shame on you for trying to distort reality have the Iranians not been through enough?

Shows khamenei is even more respected and popular leader now than DJT can ever hope to be in his remaining lifetime
If I were Israel, I would have gone scorched earth a long time ago. Nobody should have to live like that with rockets flying in every day. Not to mention the attempted genocide on October 7th.
