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

[Hamartia Antidote]

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

Using an 8 missile revolver internally and the 2 tri-packs under the wings

I won't disagree with any of that. The point I'm making is the US can destroy every key target it wants. Power generation, oil & gas fields, telecommunications, etc.

So far power plants in Iran have not been targeted yet. Because Iran can target Israeli power plants and desalination plants too if US goes after Iran's critical infrastructure.

The fact that Iran hasn't launched missiles on Dimona Nuclear Facility yet shows that the enemy is deterred from destroying Iran's critical infrastructure for fear of Iran doing the same not only to Israel but to all Arab countries' desalination plants.

So if the US destroys Iran's infrastructure, say goodbye to all oil refineries and desalination plants all over the region as Iran will go scorched earth and punish all Arab countries who host US Bases too. So while Iran may not win they can take down everyone with them as part of their revenge for the martyrdom of Khamenei.

US destroyed 17 Iranian civilian planes at Mehrabad airport yesterday night

Majority of those aircraft have been grounded there for Years!

1. They still have proxies like Hezbollah, Iraqi Resistance and Houthis. And building drones and launching them doesn't require as much infrastructure as missiles, so they'll switch to suicide drones as the main force, perhaps new models with jet engines or turboprop around MACH 1 to make it faster than the usual Shaheds.

2. Infrastructure can be rebuilt. Unless the US is willing to bomb every single day or week to prevent the rebuilding of the infrastructure, you'd eventually need to put boots on the ground to capture territory to deny Iran's ability to produce and rebuild things.

3. And finally, no war can be won just from aerial bombings only on a country the size of Iran. The US intelligence just assumed that they have taken out most of Iran's missiles and launchers, but satelite surveillance and HUMINT can only go so far to find out the real scale of Iran's assets.

Not everything can be discovered just from satelite date as most of the action happens deep underground as Iran has 30+ missile cities and perhaps dozens more underground sites for all sorts of weapons production needs the US still don't know about.

I trust Iranian officials when they said they "prepared for a long war" because Iran is close to Russia and China so they would have gotten sound advice from them on hardening shelters, dispersal, etc , and they those underground mountain bases are definitely secure from US bunker busters now, with means to get out from there via tunneling even if entrances are entombed by US bombings.

1. Once this war ends, I think there will be lot less activity by proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis. At least part of financing and material support was coming from Iran and that has stopped now.
2. Even after withdrawing, I think U.S. and Israel will maintain vigilance. It will be something like Iraq after 1991 war. There was a no-fly zone maintained and major rearming was prevented.

Trump was telling this weekend will be intense. I think he was suggesting energy infrastructure will be taken out.

Iran needs to continue targeting early warning systems in GCC.

Without targeting these infrastructure, targeting the Zionazis will be prove to be very difficult.

This might be an off ramp.

Pictures of captured American soldiers in Tehran would be a disaster for Trump’s popularity.

1.How can Iran continue the war if U.S. & Israel pullback after missile & drone threat is over?
2. Missile & Drone attacks will eventually stop either because they run out or can't launch due to lack of infrastructure. How can launches happen when there is no electricity, communication, fuel or transport?

Your constant dribble is wearing thin. Stop posting marijuana infested posts or i will remove you.

That would burn Trump if true. Dont see how it would be possible but just imagine the humiliation back home

Hope the Iranians are level headed to realize this is an opportunity to negotiate and bring a stop to all this.

Let’s see if the news is true.
