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

Obviously, they feel that Iran is lying.

Again, take it in stride. The fog of war is thick, and tensions are high.

This video will probably be posted tomorrow as aftermath of strikes on Bahrain, we should rebuke this right now as fake because it's 2:49am right now in Bahrain, and the video is showing daylight.

CNN: Radar bases housing key US missile interceptor hit in Jordan and UAE, satellite images show​


New satellite images from several key military bases in the Arabian Peninsula suggest that Iran is seeking to degrade air defenses by destroying US-made radars that detect incoming missiles and drones.

The radar system for an American THAAD missile battery in Jordan was struck and apparently destroyed in the first days of the US-Israeli strikes on Iran, a satellite image taken on Monday shows.

Buildings housing similar radar systems were also hit at two locations in the United Arab Emirates, CNN analysis shows, although it is unclear if the equipment was damaged.

The radar is a critical element for the high-end missile interceptor system, which is used to engage and destroy ballistic missiles as they fly toward their target. The US operates eight THAAD batteries, while the UAE operates two and Saudi Arabia one. This one was at the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, over 500 miles from Iran.

The radar system for THAADs is the AN/TPY-2 transportable radar, manufactured by Raytheon. According to a 2025 Missile Defense Agency budget, it costs just shy of half-a-billion dollars.

The image shows a pair of 13-foot craters in the sand near the radar, suggesting that it may have taken multiple attempts to hit the system, which is split across five 40-foot trailers. All appeared to be destroyed or seriously damaged.

It may not be the only THAAD radar struck in the opening days of the war with Iran.

At least three buildings at a military installation near Ruwais, and four at an installation in Sader, both in the UAE, were damaged between February 28 and March 1. Pull-through vehicle sheds used to store radar systems for THAAD batteries at both sites were among the buildings struck.

N.R. Jenzen-Jones, a munitions specialist and director of the research company Armament Research Services (ARES), told CNN the radar cannot be easily replaced and called it a significant loss.

“The AN-TPY/2 radar is essentially the heart of the THAAD battery, enabling the launch of interceptor missiles and contributing to a networked air defense picture,” he said. “It also happens to be an incredibly expensive piece of kit. The loss of even a single radar of this type would be an operationally significant event. It is probable that a replacement unit would have to be redeployed from elsewhere, which will take time and effort.”

To target and neutralize the THAAD systems themselves is no joke.

Diplomacy involves multiple things, including sharing what your nation's views of matters. It is what it is.

This isn't an expelible offense.

It definitely is! A decision for Iran and Iranians to make.

falsely accusing your host nation of terrorism is without any doubt a grave offence in diplomacy

if he did this in any other country he would be immediately expelled

in any case, the decision is Iran's.

It's historically Iranian land. Get your facts straight. We don't fear Turkey.

We're not talking about historical claims on anything. You're creating a strawman argument.

You may not fear Turkiye, but they dont fear you either. The Azeris would 100% be protected by Turkish fire power and soldiers.
