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

Day may come soon, when ICE won't see documents but skin color.

Third Tuesday in October, I think.

The Hormuz Strait will be a graveyard for American ships due to Iran Anti-Shipping. Kill them all!

Please avoid personal attacks!

specially when someone is way above your age

you cant take away someone's opinion, it's their right

there is no right or wrong here, only an opinion

I took no offense whatsoever. Tensions are high.

Some of the commentary I make is because I know these people. Remember, I grew up during the Vietnam era.

More signs that the civil leadership of Iran and IRGC are acting independently from each other.

I think many Americans here will agree with me when I say this, that the Trump administration doesn't care how the world views it, or thinks of it. It will only do what is necessary to safeguard its own self-interests.

Most American administrations care primarily about American self-interest, but the Trump cabinet is full of uncouth louts chosen for personal loyalty rather than competence. Many of them are also personally corrupt. Quite a contrast from the Trump 1.0 cabinet, which had some great people, at least to start with.

IRGC does have a lot of anti-ship cruise, ballistic options plus drones.

Hormuz is quite narrow and swarms of IRGC munitions can overwhelm them.

But if USN is going through with this, they must be very confident in the efficacy of their AD and the speed of their OODA loop.

Or is it all hubris and an impending disaster?

 

[mangekyo]

Still no news coming out? The degree of control they have over news is insane.

We shall know in a few short days.

Trump has offered the US Govt will underwrite vessels if they wish to proceed with it.

The Clock Is Ticking on DFC Reauthorization

The Trump administration has shaken the international development establishment to its core. As part of this shift in foreign policy strategy, the DFC could play a more central role in advancing U.S. interests.

"If necessary".. it is necessary...bring some ships into the Persian gulf ..near our coast and zagros mountains.

 

[codeforfood]

Was, will from now on be know as the American Ocean.

I think lets just settle on calling of the waters as Gulf of America shall we

 

[SteppeWolff]

When is Pakistan jumping into this new war ?

Hopefully never!! Its not our war.

But we definitely should be leading humanitarian missions in Iran as the terrorist states of USA and Israel have been bombing hospitals, schools, and civilian areas.

 

[hussain0216]

I agree, and I will add that any new administration is likely to follow the same attitude. Americans have had it with being the villain for everybody and their nephew, despite not being one (yes, I said it on PDF), so we might as well act as suits us, and us alone.

It is about bloody time.

That's dumb

The U.S has been incredibly destructive for the world and slowly but surely it's gotten worse and worse and worse

Hell no ! There is some foul play. Now or after some more false flags, azerbaijan will have reason to support against iran. I believe they are looking for reason and we may see ground invasion after all.

Its my speculation, which can 100% be false.

"The Trump Administration will continue to unleash American energy dominance, and tap into our newfound oil in Venezuela."

And we were told Maduro was toppled because of the drugs sent by Venezuela!
BTW, notice, unlike in all past wars involving America, how quiet VZ is now?? Yup, the 'regime change' happened there!

So whose problem is that?
