Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

[Persian Gulf]

Hello Sir

Are the reports of Iranians talking about "pre-emptive" action true?

If true, they should have remained silent about that.....

it's not true, just bluster in an attempt to signal they are watching Israel's preparations

 

[Mr Iran Eye]

The preemptive attack has already begun in Israel, and my intuition was right about how it would start. This is just the beginning...

Can you remind us all of what happened to the only country in history that decided to pre-emptively strike the US?

Don't worry. Nobody takes the IR's empty threats of pre-emptive strike seriously. Not even the IR itself.

They killed General Soleimani and Iran did nothing. Let that sink in. The threat of a pre-emptive strike on Israel is even less shallow than the threat of shutting down the Strait of Hormuz.

So far the rioting seems mostly the rural and poorer areas of Iran rather than the big cities.

There are reports that the police in Abdanan has joined the protestors. Looking at that video with so many people and no anti-riot police, it seems to be true.

Yeah nothing will happen. Israel will attack first. A conflict would probably be an advantage for the regime and good solution IF the country is on the brink of collapse. But I really don't think that is happening right now.

Didn't I tell you? When there is no bottleneck in production, I won't be surprised if they increase it to 6,000 in a year.

I moved the post to the other thread.

Smaller cities don’t have dedicated anti riot police. But ordinary officers also don’t make a living wage in Iran. So it’s not surprising if some don’t actively try to stop the riots. Better to let the protestors just vent and only bring in police and soldiers of it turns into vandalism and rioting.

Kurdistan is another problem altogether.

At the end of the day, if the average Iranian had a half way decent economy and livable wage, then Iran could do well. But instead they never focused on the economy and maintained status quo.

Before there were protests maybe every 5-10 years. Now the frequency is becoming every year or every other year.

Well go look at why. 30 years ago $1 USD was less than 1000 Toman. Today it is worth 150,000 Toman! The annual government budget reached the quadrillions of rials.

People with no clue of economics think this is sustainable. That magically US will cave and give Iran a good deal or Iran will build a nuke and U.S. will magically remove all sanctions.

Even if U.S./Israel weren’t doing to attack Iran for another 5 years. At the current pace, the currency devaluation and runaway inflation would basically demolish the Iranian economy and cause mass rioting even worse than the past few years.

Water supply is drying up
Lakes and rivers are drying up
Crop production is lower due to drought
Electricity generation is lower

What is the point of resisting the West if the country is turned into a 3rd world dumpster in the process?

I don't think anyone disputed superiority of US war machine and ability to ramp up production
