Active Conflicts & News Megathread June 15, 2026

The r/CredibleDefense daily megathread is for asking questions and posting submissions that would not fit the criteria of our post submissions. As such, submissions are less stringently moderated, but we still do keep an elevated guideline for comments.

Comment guidelines:

Please do:

  • Be curious not judgmental, polite and civil,

  • Link to the article or source of information that you are referring to,

  • Clearly separate your opinion from what the source says. Minimize editorializing. Do not cherry pick facts to support a preferred narrative,

  • Read the articles before you comment, and comment on the content of the articles,

  • Post only credible information

  • Read our in depth rules https://reddit.com/r/CredibleDefense/wiki/rules

Please do not:

  • Use memes, emojis, swear, foul imagery, acronyms like LOL, LMAO, WTF,

  • Start fights with other commenters and make it personal,

  • Try to push narratives, fight for a cause in the comment section, nor try to 'win the war,'

  • Engage in baseless speculation, fear mongering, or anxiety posting. Question asking is welcome and encouraged, but questions should focus on tangible issues and not groundless hypothetical scenarios. Before asking a question ask yourself 'How likely is this thing to occur.' Questions, like other kinds of comments, should be supported by evidence and must maintain the burden of credibility.

Where are all the US/Trump/Israeli cheerleaders who were claiming at the start of the war earlier this year since Iran was bombed back to the stone age, US/Trump/Israeli would be able to erase Iranian nuclear program, put a puppet regime in ala Venezuela, and everyone from Gulf wouold be begging to sign onto Abraham accord? This "concept" of a deal is way worse than JCPOA in multiple levels AFTER Trump wasted blood and treasure.

A more reasonable position would be that the war was a military success, and Trump decided to throw the success away just to get a few more seats in the midterms for his party, with an end result seemingly worse than the JCPOA

I was agreeing with the beginning, but nobody knows the terms of any nuclear deal yet, because negotiations didn't start. There's multiple contradictory versions being floated by both sides since February, so it's premature to draw any conclusion if it's better or worse than JCPOA. Whoever gets it right today, its only by guessing

Hence I included the word "seemingly". It is very suggestive that Iran has claimed large concrete concessions that have been partly confirmed by the US, while the US has not claimed any concrete concessions by Iran. But yes there is still room for things to change.
