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

Source?

They have been in the Lebanese government and working with it for decades. With all due respect let Lebanese people handle their internal affairs. Lebanon is not going actually going to disarm Hezbollah. But will play good cop bad cop until situation in region stabilizes.

Hezbollah is fighting for Lebanese deterrence and reshaping the equation for stability in Lebanon right now, using this time as opportunity to do so
Lebanese broadcaster LBCI reports that the Lebanese army arrested 12 armed Hezbollah members at one of its checkpoints today.

Their arrest comes after Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam declared the Iran-backed terror group’s military operations “illegal acts” following its recent attacks on Israel amid the US-Israeli strikes on Iran.
 
Venezuela was to help shareholders and stock market. They cannot extract that oil that fast.

The US taxpayer is getting fucked but stock market will do fine.

MAGA idiots continue supporting their scum corporate, Israel-first party

BREAKING NEWS: IRAN OFFICIALLY APPOINTS MOJTABA KHAMENEI AS SUPREME LEADER OF THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC

He is the hardline son of martyred Sayed Ali Khamenei

Now his task is to survive 24/7 US-Israeli attempts to kill him...
Correction: It is the task of all those around him.
 
As a think tank it doesnt befit you in attempting to troll.
Please dont embarrass yourself or the title.
You know you are better than that

I really meant that comment with the best of intentions. Please allow me to explain:

He carries with him the awesome responsibility of leading the Shias around the world, not just his personal tragedy. His own tragedy can only make him most aware of what Iran is going through right now.

Therefore, he is the best possible choice at this critical time.

I do not troll in such critical and sensitive matters, ever. I personally know from my best friend Ali just what an ayatollah of the times means for Shias, and never shall I forget that.
 
it seems you are not aware of the latest developments in Lebanese society

Lebanese government formally banned Hezbollah's military wing


and arrested 12 Hezbollah members at a checkpoint


their cases are progressing in the courts
It's for show like in 2006. Lebanon as a state has interest in keeping Hezbollah around for negotiations and deterrence purposes. But if iranians keep talking like they own Hezbollah and Lebanon, and don't stay out of it the internal bickering, they will make it worse for Hezbollah.
 
in June Iran was able to launch large salvos on the first 2 days to deplete interceptors

this time due to massive initial Israeli and US strikes, it was not possible

so Iran is behind schedule on depleting Israeli interceptors. until then it can't strike Israel effectively, despite using its most advanced missiles (Fattah and Khorramshahr)
In my himble opinion, Iran is not "behind schedule" on depleting Israel's interceptors if we remember that this is a long war for Iran. June 2025 was a "short clash" for Iran.
Iran is naturally fighting differently in different war situations (june 2025 war vs current war).

Thanks for your insightful and informative posts on this thread.

Trump administration will try using this as proof war won't hurt economy. As you said, people that matter will do fine but American poor and middle class will suffer if this war becomes protracted.

usually in history rapid increase in oil prices accelerates the end of a business cycle and the start of a recession follows

we are already in the late stage of a business cycle. so far the Fed managed to achieve a "soft landing" but that is all toast now.

every day the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, is good for Iran as oil and gas prices will continue to rise. in a few more weeks, UAE's oil storages will be at max capacity and they will have to shut down production too, following Kuwait and Iraq.

not to mention the kinetic attacks against oil and gas facilities, which can make things 10x worse.

Americans are already complaining about gas prices going up across the country

it's going to get much worse

usually they say if the national average exceeds $3.50 per gallon, people get angry

it's currently $3.45, and about to rise a lot in the next few days
