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

[Meengla]

As far as I know china is not sanctioned overall except from few technologies and for their industrial base and huge export they may not come openly in help to avoid complete sanction. but what excuse russia have? they are already sanctioned to the core. If i have said something factually incorrect here.. i would love to be corrected from those who has a real knowledge of this sanctions

Punitive sanctions were attempted on China but they would hurt America too--and badly.
The war against Iran may be mostly for Netanyahu but also another way for America to go after China--using oil as a weapon. NY Times had a major article on that just 2-3 days ago.
As for Russia, I don't know except they are too tied down in Ukraine; there may be more reasons for Russia but I would only speculate

Iran still has the small boat swarms that it has armed and practiced with to attack larger ships. May be it is time to utilize them?

I think coastal anti-ship batteries are more than enough, though. And drones.

There's the Abu Mahdi anti-ship cruise missile with 1000 km range, so that doesn't even have to be near the coasts, as they can be placed anywhere within the interior of Iran in "shoot-and-scoot" launchers.

Then there's the Hadid-110 stealth attack drones.

I find the Iranian claim that Azerbaijan strike wasn't them hard to believe, the drone in the footages exactly ressembles an Arash-2 drone

Somehow Israel/US managed to make a perfect copy of it to pass as a genuine Arash?

They confiscated weapons from Syria and on its way to Yemen many times.

Iran launched several missiles toward Tel Aviv.

Is Azerbaijan about to do something?

Why would they?

 

[SteppeWolff]

️ World Health Organization: We have recorded 13 attacks on healthcare facilities in Iran.

Israel and USA are terrorist states !!

I am amazed people still think in terms of good and evil and friends and enemies.

I think majority of people think this way. Everyone uses their ideology to determine what they say is good and evil and allot friends and foe accordingly.

Trumpy has many religious nut jobs in his admin using religion to define their good and evil. One could argue this also influences geopolitics.

Israel/USA could have recovered them and reprogrammed them to send into Azerbaijan ?

I am amazed people still think in terms of good and evil and friends and enemies. There are NO such concepts in international geopolitics.

USA is doing exactly what Iran and Pakistan are doing: pursuing their own national interests, as best as possible. That is all.

Iran has pursued its own national interests, and it has come to this point that is is under direct attack, without a lot of support from any other country. Geopolitically, that is an abysmal failure, no matter what divine or regious or moral cover one may wish to give it. Now, it must bear the consequences and try to mitigate the situation as best as possible.

All is not lost at this point, however, and compromises are always better for outcomes, for all sides.

(Similarly, Pakistan will be okay if it plays its cards better than what Iran has done. But that discussion belongs in some other thread, not here.)

Fine sir, whatever floats your boat, I’m hardly the expert here.

BTW, "America First', clearly too hidden to be visible to our eastern neighbour!

but you know better, so, I wont argue

go on beat up, 'good' and 'evil' argument, as if it was the main premise!

Zionists know that american people have started haying them, and this is the best chance they got to destroy middle east

 

[Hassan Al-Somal]

Lebanese Minister of Information:

We will stop and expel every member of the Revolutionary Guard present in Lebanon. Every member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard present in Lebanon - will be arrested

 

[mangekyo]

Azerbijan is a direct neighbour of Iran, and a country of only 10million and they need to learn to live with Iran. They should get their thinking caps on asap, as any conflict with Iran means they will have more to lose. Iran will still be there, long after the interests of the USA and Israel are "gone" etc.

Hoping calm heads prevail all around, they should not back themselves into a corner with their language of how they respond etc.

Unfortunately, they are a Zionist outpost listening to pan-turkist chest thumping by another Zionist outpost.

 

[Reichsmarschall]

Iran launched several missiles toward Tel Aviv.

Half an hour old news.... please try to keep this thread realtime as many of us come here to get latest news.

 

[maverick]

When is Pakistan jumping into this new war ?

@Ali_Baba, then mark my word, and everyone here remember this, Pakistan will attacked by India, Israel and US together in next 3 to 5 years if Pakistan did not jump in to help Iran now

 

[Goenitz]

so who attacked the UK base in Cyprus?
