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

[Falcon29]

Given that they entered this war for Iran, it will be interesting if Iran abandons them to face Israel alone now ?

I think it depends if Trump is serious about ceasefire. He's giving mixed messages. And if they keep greenlighting Israeli attacks I don't think this will stop if Trump said US stops but Israel continues.

But if all sides stop then sadly Hezbollah will be left on their own.

If the US is calling it off now then Iran needs to scramble for the best air defence and radars that Russians and Chinese can spare.

The Strait is the key here, but is it in Iran's control?

It's not about who actually controls the Strait. But whether or not insurance companies believe it is safe to cross, Iran could have zero control of the strait, but if the insurance company didn't think so, they will refuse wartime insurance for shipping, and no ship will cross without insurance, hence the standstill

I have been following this channel for Shipping, the guy Sal, who was a merchant seaman describe very well with the issue here

I heard he was a very evil person, heard the stories of him going to prisons and telling the prisoners guards how to torture Palestinians is that true?

That's just standard practice in apartheid states.

Any of them sink?

Once again as a think tank these one liners are devaluing your title on the forum. I used to think it was just innocent banter but the frequency suggests it’s deliberate and kn the verge of trolling purposefully.

I disagree, since these platforms (AC-130) have long range combat persistence and TEL's need to operate under an open sky. The AC130 can operate for long durations hovering over missile cities waiting for TEL's to emerge with a missile. Launching these missiles is a highly specialized task, the crew and the missile isn't readily replaced neither is the TEL since heavy trucks need special modifications to transform it into a missile launcher.

It does indicate the US /Israel have run out of cheaper loitering drones that were previously performing this job. The AC130 is also an juicy target.

Agreed. Insurance coverage is the key.

No Sir, brevity while conveying the point is better. Iran has not sunk any ships, while making its point by causing an interruption in the insurance coverage.

If it helps to sound more "think tank like" I can make the same point using many more words, if that is what you would prefer.

Please let me know.
