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

[VCheng]

Humility is what is lacking here when constantly people dismiss the opposing force as a nonsense. Being humble is the first step to objectively looking at the facts and truths available to us.

There is no point to putting on airs on what is essentially a military blogging forum.

It is always better to over- rather than underestimate the capabilities of any enemy, and to under- rather than overestimate one's own.

Aljazeera 17.20 GMT: Blasts over Dubai we're successful interceptions: MEDIA Office

really, then, such sounds should be very frequent (unlike this one!)

 

[Trailer23]

@Trailer23 any updates on the cause for that loud bang you guys heard?

There was an interception right above DxB Airport.

I saw the video, recorded by a staff from Terminal 2 (flydubai Aircraft in the background).

People living in DxB are still puzzled where the sound came from.

A lot of confusion.

Everytime they put their guard down and attept to start operating flights, something happens to put a hold on everything.

I guess the sound intensity will depend upon the incoming projectile type and warhead. That's all I can speculate.

The US will probably end up sending ground troops to invade. That will be the final nail in the coffin of the American empire.

Now, this is impossible because there's no logistics to deploy 150,000-300,000 soldiers to countries neighboring Iran, when all the defense systems of those countries have already been destroyed. The soldiers would be attacked before reaching the Iranian border. What Zionism will do is use ISIS/Al-Qaeda/Kurds, etc., a classic invasion is impossible , now.

Kurds will enter in bedded with US special forces soon

That will immediately drag Turkey into it. They did not take any time to attack Syria and take over, as soon as they saw the Kurd activity. There is no way they are gonna allow the Kurds to enter Iran and surround Turkey from 3 borders.

Especially not for the sake of NATO (which might eventually end up attacking Turkey anyway).

Omg I need this in my life. I need it!

Top guy I know you already are. Full respect.

I dont expect China going to war for Iran.

I would expect China stopping selling rare minerals when someone threaten their economic interests, like they almost did when Trump threatened to put tariffs to China.

China’s rare-earth export restrictions

In response to United States (US) tariffs, and citing national security interests as a reason, China introduced two waves of export controls for rare-earth elements (REEs) in April and October 2025 respectively.

But maybe China interests is a little economic mayhem in the heart of Middle East that it would affect their competitors.

Rare earth restrictions are China's tit for tat to US chips ban on China. I don't think China want war or economic mayhem in the Mideast, that will disrupts its energy supplies from the region and no good for BRI.

Well that is not entirely true. There is Azerbaijan. A hostile regime. Granted, such buildup would take a lot of time.

There is also the possibility of ground troops coming in through amphibious ships along the Iranian coast in the Persian gulf.

When did Iran become their ally?

It's not China's responsibility to save a country especially when that country doesn't value what China is offers them.

The Chinese drafted a massive $400 billion 25-year economic cooperation agreement, and the Iranians dragged their feet hoping they will get better deals from the EU under JCPOA or some other version of JCPOA.

So, China did not progress any further. (If Iranians are going to be so fussy, why bother).

On the other hand,

• In 2014, China offered a $400 billion economic deal to Russia, and the Russians grabbed it with both hands.
• In 2015, China offered a $62 billion CPEC package to Pakistan, and the Pakistanis grabbed it with both hands.

Russian has been pummeling Ukraine since 2022 with Chinese support.
Pakistan pummelled India in 2025 and now Afghanistan with Chinese support.

You have to commit to China. That's how it works.

It's too late to discuss these issues now. Iran's immediate priority is to place orders with Chinese factories for the Kamikaze drone.

Iran produces its own Shahed 136 drones, but still needs to import many components. China's Feilong-300D and PD2900 drones have larger payloads, longer ranges, and are significantly cheaper than the Shahed 136. They also natively integrate the BeiDou navigation system.

More importantly, there's production capacity. These drones cost $10,000 each, and we can supply Iran with as many as they need, absolutely guaranteeing supply.

For Iran, it's best to order from small, privately owned factories through AliExpress. These factories can accept custom orders and renegotiate prices. All components can be re-labeled, for example, marked "Made in the USA"...

My friend, there's no way to put 150-300 thousand soldiers in Azerbaijan without Iran(and everyone) seeing it. It takes months to move that many soldiers. When they enter Azerbaijani territory, they would be attacked by Iran, which would also attack the Azerbaijani government.
