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

The Dirty Bomb Nightmare

Israel may have struck Iran before it could build a fissile nuclear weapon, but the Islamic Republic can still cause tremendous destruction short of a nuclear explosion. If Khamenei wants to make good on his threats, his next step will likely be to hit Israel with dirty bombs to spread radiation over large sections of its urban areas.

The same strategy would satisfy Khamenei's desire for revenge against Arab states that help Israel. After all, if Jordan shoots down a missile with a radioactive warhead over its own territory, then the resulting radiation contamination it suffered would be, from Khamenei's perspective, divine retribution.


While its main nuclear facilities have been damaged, underground labs and dispersed storage sites may still hold usable material," Dr Krieg said, adding that "assembling a viable dirty bomb with significant dispersal impact involves logistical, safety, and secrecy challenges".

However, John Erath, senior policy director at the Washington, DC think-tank, the Centre for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, points out that if Iran were considering building a dirty bomb, "it's kind of wasting a lot of enrichment".

He added: "It would, in theory, potentially put a lot of radiation out in the atmosphere and potentially make people sick over a wide area. So it exists mostly in theory. It's highly impractical and a little bit difficult to do in practice.


This are some sources. But the one I read was on Reddit.
 
This can stop as soon as GCC tells the Americans to F off from their land. And sometimes I wonder if that might be what they want, but don’t have the balls to say? They know those bases will never protect them from the Zionists.

GCC are snakes and if they feel that China is the future, they would want to pivot to China.

So the question is, if you are GCC and want US base gone from your land, who better than Iran to outsource this operation to?
this is actually something I suspect, that the reason why MBS was pushing trump for this Iran war (as per numerous institutional media organizations), was because he wanted those bases to be disabled and did not have the political avenues to do so himself. My read on him is that he is deeply attached to his sense of ownership over his Kingdom, and the realization had possibly arrived that the US was basically planning to make him a provincial governor in Greater Israel or something even worse. Hence the attempts to diversify his military procurements etc.

Just speculation though.

Lol the first source is a Pro Israeli anti Iranian think tank based in Washington.

Well done, great research. 😂
 
AZ_HighCountry is far from a crusader. If you only knew how he has helped identify and counter a potential Far Right white nationalist on PDF.
Do not question him, secretary of war is self proclaimed evangelistic crusader, so if you support usa army wars you are crusader to like it or not as it is not position of personal qualities when you comment or participate about/in war.
 
Countries that hold military bases of the enemy that launch attacks on Iranian soil have to be targetted. There also has to be a financial cost too hence why the closing of the straight of Hormuz. Attacks on oilfields are denied by Iran, so best not to speculate. Other than that, we make no apology for any of this.
GCC has a 6T dollar collective wealth fund. Saudis wealth fund alone is believed to be $1T+ Their vision for the future is to turn Saudi Arabia into a global financial center and tourism hub. They are directly threatened by the UAE.

They must have realized that American bases in GCC are only there to protect Israel. UAE hostility with Saudi and increasing alliance with India and Israel is also threatening them.

Saudi knows having American bases in the region have become a liability and no longer an asset.

Those bases will eventually be used to regime change Saudi and they know this.

So my question is, if you are Saudi and want those bases out of the Middle East, who do you outsource this project to?
 
Oh my God, Turkish politicians did cry a lot about that Iranian missile which felt down in South Turkey. They are summoning the Iranian ambassador.

Obviously a mistake from Iran, that rocket was ment for South Cyprus. In war and during high airtraffic, sometimes a rocket can change course.

Why would Iran attack Turkey? Fighting against US and Israel is not enough?

This comment makes no sense.
 
I don't want to waste bandwidth debating. Because your country is at war and I read your emotions. But I am looking at this objectively and lashing out at erstwhile friendly or neutral nations is not a workable strategy.
I didn't read the debate, but which friendly or neutral country did Iran hit in this war?

So far only hostile countries disguised as neutral
