Should the US Offer to Guarantee Iran's Territorial Sovereignty?

[Independent thinker]

A US guarantee would protect Iran from incursions by OTHER countries. Obviously, the US would agree not to invade Iran as part of that deal.

What other countries want to take over Iran and what happens if they do?

Any country coveting Iran's oil reserves could be a threat, especially with its military so degraded. If it was invaded, who would come to its aid? Most of its neighbors would celebrate that event. The US is the only country that could secure Iran's territorial integrity. That might be the only way the current regime could stay in power.

One item that has not been mentioned regarding the US-Iran negotiations is the issue of territorial sovereignty. Given the invasions of Iraq, Afghanistan and Ukraine, that should be a serious Iranian concern. What if the US offered to guarantee Iran's present borders (including its islands in the Persian Gulf) in return for Iran guaranteeing open passage of international shipping through the Strait of Hormuz?

Iran would also have to give up its offensive military and nuclear weapons programs, but might such a deal be worth it for them? The alternative may be continuous warfare until Israel decides to put an end to the Islamic State.

Iran will not give up on its "defensive" military program (the one you falsely term "offensive") neither will they IMO give up their nuclear program.

The present US administration has beyond any doubt proven, that it's promises nor guarantees are worth the paper they are written on. Therefore what's the point of another Hypothetical thread of yours?

Notice how no one is calling for Israel to end its ethnic cleansing in the West Bank and Gaza and removing its invasion/occupation forces from Lebanon and Syria?

Perhaps Egypt and Turkey will stir themselves to join Iranian civilization in opposing the racist, Jewish-supremacist, puppet state of Israel.

Well - are you surprised? certainly not.
Germany hasn't even the guts, to join/sign the sanctions of other European States against Jewish settlers and their atrocities and violence in the West-Bank.

Perhaps Egypt and Turkey will stir themselves to join Iranian civilization in opposing the racist, Jewish-supremacist, puppet state of Israel.

Egypt as you know, totally relies financially and militarily onto the USA. So unless e.g. the Saudi pay up - I don't see any feasible move on Egypt's part. It's more likely that fundamentalists in Egypt take power to revert Egypt's political course towards Israel.

Turkey might be a likely candidate - depending on their urge/motivation to still become an EU member. Personally I wouldn't underestimate Syria in the long run, they got a lot to even out with Israel.

So overall it all depends on how many $$ the US want's to keep stuffing into all these Middle-east countries to keep Israel's actions "protected".

I say the current regime needs to go but that's probably not going to happen.

Just for perspective: The US has not taken any land in either Iraq, Afghanistan, Venezuela, or anywhere. Yes, Russia has taken land in Ukraine.

What do you mean by "take"? If the US hasn't "taken" any land in Irak, Afghanistan, Venequela, or ....... anywhere then neither has Russia taken any land in Ukraine. It was Russia that "gave" Ukraine in the first place. How much land has the US "given" to anyone?

I think Iran knows we have no interest in their land, therefore, it's not much to negotiate with.

So ..... you've never heard of the CIA Operation TP Ajax and the ongoing US war as we speak this very moment to do it again. You're not taught very much in US schools. Talk it over with your friends before you respond.

Speaking of Arabs and Israel...

Arabs Bought $2.9bn in Arms From Genocidal Israel

"While the United States is considered Israel’s closest international partner, Israel sold more weapons to its Arab allies in 2025 than it had to the Americans, representing a major shift.

"North America accounted for 13 percent of Israel’s arms exports, while the Middle East and North Africa accounted for $2.9 billion or 15 percent; a percentage that is anticipated to rise this year."

WTF is threatening to invade Iran? No one. Especially us!

All of the other countries have oil reserves of their own. Are you familiar with the area at all?

Having to repeat your reply indicates a lack of forethought.

P.S. How much oil does Turkey have?

No, you want answer a simple question.

Why does Turkey need oil? They also do not border Iran in case you haven't checked a map. Turkey is also a member of NATO in case you haven't checked that either. That is a perfect example of you NOT thinking.

Iran and Turkey share an almost 550 km long border. And Turkey is an importer of oil, around 28 million tonnes a year, or around 670,000 barrels a month. And what does NATO have to do with this?

Can't do it. The USA is deal incapable. Trump tore up Obama's treaty. Trump / Jews assassinated 2 of Iran's negotiation teams during final talks. Trump killed Iran's current spiritual leaders' father, wife and children in a sneak attack.

Who would make such a deal with anyone that is hellbent for your country's destruction?

I don't make this stuff up. See Gov / Brookings Institution's paper called 'Which Path to Persia'

https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/06_iran_strategy.pdf

See the chapter...Leave it to Bibi.

See the chapter on regime change and the Velvet revolution for Iran.

The USA / Jews have been working for decades to destroy Iran.

You should get some new maps

Map of Iran shows no border with Turkey on the Persian Gulf area where the oil is located. You are correct. There is a border, but it is a mountain range. No oil there.

Yes - Israels arms industry and their lobbyist policy is widely underestimated - especially towards sales in the Middle-East, Morocco, Germany and others. This is due to strong lobby work from Israel - which is also mirrored in Europe's "inability" to effectively confront Israels genocidal policies.

Israeli knockoffs from US and European weapon-systems are usually 20-30% lower in price. They are also able to achieve better prices in their customer happens to be on an embargo or sanction list by the EU and the US. Those arms sales also increase their political pressure potential towards other countries, via Joint-ventures or as a co-system supplier.

E.g. the Iraqi's weren't actually aware that those 24, KAI T-50IQ jets (S-Korea) - beheld an Israeli radar, antenna measurement and electronics.
As such the Israelis allowed this business, but were also able to block Iraq's attempts to purchase ballistic missiles from S-Korea.

Therefore a "smile" always run's across my face if Europe and the USA whine about Chinese knockoffs or espionage - whilst being totally "relaxed" or intentionally keeping their own public in the dark, when it comes to Israeli knockoffs and espionage.
