This story is breaking more side stories than a celebrity wedding. So..I figure a place to collect the growing wealth of stories may be a very good solution to Iranian story pollution all over the place.
War also seems appropriate, as war footing seems to be what this development has caused Saudi Arabia and Israel to shift into....together..of all the bed fellows we could expect to have seen appear.
There is, of course, much more though! So, lets get started..and I'll try and keep updates through this thread as long as new and different stories keep flowing on a regular basis.
At the moment, our President seems to be harassing the press in a press conference.
(July 15)
For the record, and given that this thread may be a something looked at months or more from now, long after the fine details are remembered? This deal was likely made Sunday. It was not announced until Monday. This...is Wednesday of the same week.
Yesterday...This headline appeared, and should have given the world pause:
Israel and Saudi Arabia present united front over Iran deal
Bibi looks especially pissed in that photo..and why shouldn't he be? It isn't just that a deal got made. No...That? Israel knew was coming, one way or another. Nope.. I don't think that is what has Bibi pissed and Saudi scared.
This is...
Israel can hold it's own, at least for awhile (the fight better be real real short..TBH) against Iran. They have been holding their own in fights with Syria and/or others since they declared as a State.
They CANNOT have much hope to be anything but subservient to an Iran with the passion Iran holds for putting Israel down, or OUT (if possible) ...now... COMBINED WITH the technological power of the United States....and the backdoor intelligence we've freely shared to get FROM Israel up to this point, shared with our new buddy...Iran.
I dunno, in all honesty, how this one plays out. I can't even guess. Some nations are realistically in a position that, before finding themselves in it, they would likely have described as holding only one solution to get out of it.
Now, for all the talk and war-gaming and theorizing? Israel has a population just over 8 million. The Islamic Republic of Iran has a population just over 77 Million. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has 28.8 million people.
All told, in just the primary nations currently visible, there are over 114 million people involved in whatever comes next. I hope, sincerely, that is NOT war.

I'll keep updates posting here for how it goes tho, in what I find...and anyone else is welcome to share the same and add to it if they'd like.
** note... Israeli population is just over 8 million, not 9. (corrected above)

The United States and other world powers will help to teach Iran how to thwart and detect threats to its nuclear program, according to the parameters of a deal reached Tuesday to rein in Iran’s contested nuclear program.
