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

[RescueRanger]

I had an Afghan colleague who went back to Afghanistan as an interpreter. He signed a 12-month contract that paid extremely well , enough to cover the cost of his house.
He shared some wild stories about how money was flowing with almost no oversight. According to him, a platoon commander (a lieutenant) would sometimes carry a briefcase full of cash to hand to a tribal leader, with little to no auditing.
He also mentioned contractors doing things like installing a metal door on a mud hut and billing $1M for what was supposedly a “reinforced command center.”


War is a massive business.

Yup in the early days there was so much corruption people really have no idea. You could have unlimited hours on your timesheet if you were a contractor. Vendors were litrerally charging 1900 USD an hour for a refigerated truck to keep cakes and drinks fresh and cool for Camp Barber (Bastion 2) part of Camp Bastion.


Then there logistic supply line corruptions. Anyway im going off topic. Sorry.

Do Iran have air defense to shoot at B52s / B1s ? @RescueRanger @Persian Gulf

The B-52s are likely flying into low priority Iranian airspace that is unprotected and then firing long range JASSMs at targets that are heavily protected.

How JASSM armed B-52 Stratofortress is systematically decimating Iranian assets ?​

They also have a JASSM-XR for longer ranges

But there is open source information that Iran received S-300 systems in 2016 and a few S-400s in 2025, or am I mistaken?

You think uncle sam didnt look into that. Come on sir...

Iran has fired 230 missiles at Israel since war began according to IDF

In 12 day war it fired 700 or more

230 is not enough to overwhelm their defenses. They have probably 400 interceptors+ 96 Thaad available for use while rest is for strategic sites only.

Iran would need to get into 400-500 range for Israeli interception rate to go on downward curve which will open way for precise strikes on infrastructure in Israel

you're right

in June Iran fired 500-600 in total

at this rate it will take another 20-30 days to materially deplete Israeli interceptors

Do you think they gonna take any Iranian island?. Seems US wants to re-open Strait of Hormuz by taking islands.

Despite their parasitic nature & Satanist perception management, Israelis are no superpower. Never have been, never will be. They have always been a few steps away from a beat down.

I give it a decades worth of time before they are thrashed again by the “Edom” as they call it. For this reason precisely, their anxiety is at an all time high.

Every atrocity they commit is an act of desperation to somehow prevent the Divinely ordained punishment coming their way.

Countries in the region & their leaderships are no fools. Everyone is aware of their true nature & goals.

Turkey, Saudi, Pakistan, Egypt have no interest in fighting with Iran & neither can these countries be manipulated to get in to a fight with Iran. They might pretend to be hostile towards Iran, but only for perception management & up to a certain level. These states are well aware that Iran is a shield for these countries.

It’s the little Kinglets that have brought in insecurity to the region. The old empire created them for this very reason. Kinglets have turned in to jewlets & need sorting out permanently. Hence they are being taken care of more than Israel by Iran right now. It’s the right approach.

Even if America somehow manages to attain a Pyrrhic victory ( which is highly unlikely ) this approach of targeting these little jewlets is the correct one, as the loss of prestige for America & its Baal worshipping Epstein elite is quantified with every missile that lands on these kinglets.

I bet behind closed doors the Saudis are celebrating the Iranian strikes on these bases. Iran is literally breaking their shackles & if the Saudis don’ take full advantage of it, then it’s their loss for another century. I have no doubt in my mind that the Saudis will take full advantage of the geopolitical space being created by Iran.
So will Pakistan, Turkey & Egypt.

The whole region ( except the little jewlets ) including India is rooting for an American defeat. Sure it’s going to be very painful for Iran, but it’s a pain civilizational forces must endure every other century.

Thank you good post

As things are Israel is very much a superpower if you look across technology and how most powerful institutions like militaries and corporates go via Israel.

I am not saying that is long term but this is the current reality

Any place there might be a difference or division to take advantage of they seem to know how to

My initial thought was just based on that and the general chaos only creates more opportunities

 

[RescueRanger]

Are they using F16 gun fire or sidewinder WVR or BVR?

Dont know sir didnt catch a good enough image to see what the payload was.

They can take it, the problem is holding it.

 

[Master Chief]

They can suck FM off dry but this ain’t happening. Heck we never complied on their pressure to act against Taliban, what makes them think we ll act on this one.

It's a wet dream of Indian diaspora in USA and UK. They should worry about India’s western border, not about what the mid east conflict will do to their remittances.

Oh yes, I knew a couple of Pakistanis who also served as translators in Afghanistan. A 12 month contract was 180k per year, tax free. You could make even more money if you were willing to leave the base and go on patrol with the Marines.

These were guys who didnt have much education or skills but had immigrated to America on family unification visa. So all they could do was manual or minimum wage jobs. Of course the translator work in Afghanistan paid 10 times more.

Yeah this guy went on patrols. He had to go to basic training for 3 months to get in shape and be able handle basic firearms. Was a farsiban from Jalalabad. Immigrated in mid 90s when he was 7-8 years old.

So none have survived is what you mean. But you said "not yet" when I referred to the deployed bombers as the mop-up crew for the leftovers, so I understood that to mean that there were still some capabilities remaining. (I did ask for a clarification though, none received.)

The new Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic lost his father, his mother, his wife, and his daughter, in a US-“Israel” aggression against his homeland. I hope the world understands what that means. Glory to Sayed Mojtaba Khamenei.

Can any Iranian ballistic missiles hit the UK base these B1s in UK are based in? Iran may need to drop kinetic metal gifts on that UK base.

I think yes. Qaem 100 should be able. But if you strike UK half of EU will join those bast*ards. Irán disguised their ICBM as SLV, but they have capability for so or even farther.
