Seeing a number of rumors that Israel is asking to end the war, to which Iran has reportedly said "the time has not yet come".

Russia and Iran are currently holding talks, there's no information on what's being discussed. There are rumors that there will be big changes to regional security. Getting Russian AD systems would be a good idea, but this might even be much bigger. We'll see.

Somewhat off topic, but may have bearing on the situation in Iran, is that Russia is bombing Kiev pretty hard right now. The Iran situation has shifted the spotlight. There are peace talks between Russia and Ukraine scheduled for for the 26th IIRC. Zelenskyy seems to want to continue escalating, I guess for more favorable concessions? Doesn't seem to be a good idea. Russia caught some saboteurs trying to blow up a missile depot or something inside Russia. Zelenskyy is a bad investment for foreign capital, Ukraine will not be able pay it's debt in soil, so his recent begging tours are turning up nothing. Thar regime is likely to be at it's end soon and may result in total annexation if an agreement of neutrality is not reached. Russia being able to spare more of its MIB output could help douse some of the fires the US keeps starting.
