it's a mixed bag. Mostly it's touchy around current defeats, as people start blame-gaming and doing recriminations and infighting when stuff goes badly for our side, or just completely staying in denial of it. I think it's important to read the official positions and statements from resistance factions to get their side of the story and public intent, however they have been known to exaggerate, lie and mislead as well. Iran lied about not negotiating with Trump during the recent war, and they lied about not negotiating while Lebanon was being attacked. They agreed to a ceasefire while Lebanon is still being sieged when they explicitly said they would not do that, in fact they said they would not even begin talks while hot attacks on Lebanon were ongoing yet they not only did so, but agreed to a ceasefire with the strait still closed as some sort of compromise. I wish people could be honest about things like this instead of gaslighting us and pretending the resistance factions never made the statements that users here were gleefully parading around just days before the aboutface. Iran loves saying things about destroying the entity, freeing Palestine, etc and make huge statements to rile up their base and then they ceasefire out and try to sign sanction relief normalization deals with the west.
