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

[EugeneP]

They did use B-52s yesterday AFAIK, albeit with JASSMs exclusively, meaning stand-off strikes, itself meaning Iran's medium-range air-defense, shoot & scout assets are still deemed enough of a threat for them to back off the GBU route (for now). I suppose Tabas/Ra'ad systems are still out there in enough numbers.

You are correct. B-52s are employing AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Stand-off Missiles, likely launching from over Iraq.

Multiple explosions were reported in Israel due to direct hits. One missile struck Netanya, another Khadirah, and a third the Haifa oil refineries. The targets in Netanya were desalination plants and water wells; in Khadirah, power plants; and in Haifa, oil refineries. Hezbollah launched missiles simultaneously with the Iranians. The missiles were launched from southern Lebanon without any warning sirens sounding.

Exclusive: The U.S. is pressing Sri Lanka's government not to repatriate the survivors from the Iranian warship it sank this week, as well as the crew of a second Iranian ship ‌that is in Sri Lankan custody, according to an internal State Department memo https://reut.rs/4ubXJ74

One week into the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, Donald Trump faces a growing list of risks and challenges that raise questions about whether he will be able to translate military successes into a clear geopolitical win.

Even after the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and devastating blows against Iranian forces on land, at sea and in the air, the crisis has widened into a regional conflict that threatens a more prolonged U.S. military engagement with fallout beyond Trump’s control.

Trump, who came to office promising to keep the U.S. out of "stupid” military interventions, is now pursuing what many experts see as an open-ended war of choice unprompted by any imminent threat to the U.S. from Iran, despite claims to the contrary by the president and his aides https://reut.rs/4stPm5d

You spend countless hours tracking and compiling US aircraft the region - tracking where they land and their callsign and roles - present it in a professional spreadsheet only for someone on PDF to shit all over your work with a post like this:

It was just a simple question.

I gave an example of whether these numbers are enough to force Iran to surrender, or not, if that is the goal? Hence, whether these numbers, so painstakingly compiled, are "enough" or not, depend on the goals for which said aircraft are been assembled.

Perfectly valid.

The video begins with a scene from "Call of Duty." It cuts to images of fighter jets launching from an aircraft carrier, missiles streaking through the sky and targets exploding in slow motion - set to Childish Gambino's song "Bonfire" and a deep-voiced narrator declaring, "We're winning this fight."

A 14-second video posted by the White House account features military explosions interspersed with SpongeBob SquarePants repeatedly saying: “Wanna see me do it again?”

The videos are part of a social-media push ‌the Trump administration has launched to sell its bombing campaign against Iran to the American public. Critics say these videos and more amount to a distasteful "gamification" of a war in which U.S. service members and Iranian civilians have been killed https://reut.rs/46OfHmh

Saudi Arabia has told Tehran that while it favours a diplomatic settlement to Iran's conflict with the United States, continued attacks on the kingdom and its energy sector could push Riyadh to respond in kind, four sources familiar with the matter told Reuters reut.rs/4bw2UaA

I think 'numbers' and 'surrender' are unrelated. Trump and Netanyahu will be happy to end the campaign if missile and drone launches fall to zero. What will they do if Iran surrenders? Will they hang around and form a new government? We know how well that worked out in Iraq and Afghanistan. Pete Hegseth is dead set against that.

Iran's hierarchy is showing signs of fracturing over a war its leaders see as existential, with angry divisions between hardliners and more pragmatic factions laid bare by a row over President Masoud Pezeshkian's promise not to strike Gulf states.

Sources close to Iran's leadership, speaking from inside the country, told Reuters the strains were starting to show among leading figures still alive after a series of killings in the US-Israeli strikes. In a sign of the growing stresses to the system, clerics are now accelerating the appointment of a new supreme leader with a decision possible on Sunday reut.rs/3NdhzhD

The "analysis" claimed the numbers of planes tabulated are "enough". For what, exactly, was the quesiton I posed.

Clearly, they are NOT "enough" to force a surrender from Iran.

…..I thought many were involved one way or the other if not helping out offensively are helping to defend from retaliatory Iranian attacks but until any actual information comes out could honestly be nothing but a flat tire….not saying it is but it could be absolutely nothing sinister
