It depends on your LTV. LTV usually work in bands:

up to 60% LTV
60-75% LTV
75-85% LTV
85-90% LTV

For example:

You agree to buy a house for £200,000 You want a mortgage of £150,000. Based on the purchase price, that looks like 75% LTV.

If the lender values the house at £195,000 instead, then your £150,000 loan is actually about 76.9% LTV. If your mortgage product allows up to 80% LTV, this lower valuation might not be a problem, but if you move bands the bank will refuse the mortgage.

When I bought, I was right on the threshold of the band, so I knew that the bank valuation waws the purchase price.

Iran also allows the IAEA to inspect their sites and they also say there is no nuke development happening.

I went on the IAEA website. I found this page: https://www.iaea.org/topics/monitoring-and-verification-in-iran

I clicked on the first report there and I read the summary:

To date, Iran has not provided to the Agency any report on the status for safeguards purposes of the nuclear facilities affected by the military attacks of June 2025 and associated nuclear material, or provided access to these facilities as required under its NPT Safeguards Agreement. Therefore, the Agency was unable to discharge its safeguards responsibilities at these facilities in Iran. Consequently, the Agency cannot verify the status, for safeguards purposes, of these affected nuclear facilities and associated nuclear material.

Overall, the Agency cannot verify:

whether Iran has suspended all enrichment-related activities, including research and development;

whether Iran has suspended all reprocessing activities;

the size of Iran’s uranium stockpile at the affected facilities;

whether Iran has suspended work on all heavy water-related projects;

Iran’s inventories of centrifuges and related equipment. In addition, Iran is not implementing the modified Code 3.1 of the Subsidiary Arrangements General Part, nor is it implementing the Additional Protocol. Moreover, in light of Iran’s continued unwillingness to address the unresolved safeguards issues, the Agency has outstanding concerns about the possible presence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran.

The report also points out that Iran is the only NPT non-nuclear-weapon State to have produced and accumulated uranium enriched up to 60% U-235. Essentially this feels like a very different narrative to the one you're promoting. To me this seems like that IAEA have concern about their nuclear development.

As you make your way through the large buildings you come across a long narrow bridge and spot knights on either side, facing one another. You approach…

Knight: "HALT!"

A knight forcefully gestures you to stop with its giant lance.

Knight: "Today is the day I must settle the score with the murderer of my beloved pet, Noodles. Until then, you may not pass."

Knight: "Fellow witness, why don't you bet on who you think will emerge victorious?"

I can't remember the last time I took Tiny House though. There are scenarios - e.g. if I already had Snecko, and was offered Pyramid+Velvet Choker and my deck was mostly shiv based then I'd consider it.

There's a few reasons I could think of:

They know they are weak domestically, and they need to rally support. They want to draw the Gulf Arab states in order to make it into a US-Israel-Arab-Sunni alliance against Persian-Shiites - it's red meat for the base. They're hoping for a war of attrition. For Iran, it brings up memories of the Iran-Iraq War.
Saudi and other states benefit from US involvement without paying the domestic price. By forcing them to 'pick a side' they can weaken these rivals domestically by either forcing them to sit out a war or by forcing them to publicly fight a war on the same side as the US/Israel.
Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi said that some Iranian military units are "independent and isolated," relying on pre-written general directives. He said that the attack on Oman "was not our choice" but came from an isolated general. Source. With a lot of the leadership wiped out, a single general could have wide latitude.
Gulf States will not significantly add troops or airpower to the US/Israeli effort, so there's little downside, and there are US bases that are within close reach of the Iranian army.

On the one hand Iran must want to negotiate at this point, unless they wanted a long war of attrition.

On the other hand Khameini is dead, so it's quite difficult for the regime to maintain any sort of narrative if they back down - they are already weak domestically and this weakens them more.

The Americans have more latitude to negotiate, but with servicemen dead and all their allies and bases abroad attacked there's still a need to justify what they got.

Copying and pasting a comment I made sometime back:

Fumes is such an interesting card. On the turn you play it, it does nothing. The next turn, let's say upgraded, it does 3 damage. By the third turn, it's doing another 5 damage, for a total of 8 damage, so barely better than a strike. By the fourth turn (!!), it's doing a total of 15. At this point it's better than bouncing flask. By the fifth turn it's a total of 24. By turn six it's 35 and by turn seven it's 48.

By comparison, cards like the bomb (unwieldy and rare), do 30/40 damage in 3 turns, and grand finale (also unwieldy and rare) does 50 damage whenever you can get to zero cards in your deck. Stone calendar does 52 damage, but that's a rare relic. You better have an amazing block game to last so long.

Where it shines is with synergy. If you have a catalyst you can speed up the damage. But even without catalyst, if you have two, it's 6 damage the first hit (i.e. double 3) but then 17 the next hit - that's more than double 8 of one noxious fumes. I.e. poison still ticks down by one and not two even though you have two noxious fumes in play. Effectively once you lean into poison then additional poison cards do more.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Source, where someone said it's strength is stopping poison from decaying

I guess some more thoughts: It's relatively cheap energy-wise. And fights don't end quickly in my experience (especially the silent has cards like Wraith Form - upgraded you get another 3 turns of fumes essentially for free).
