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

[HAIDER]

Apparently everyone in KSA was against this but MBS wanted this and his wish is final. His head could be on the chopping block by rivals hopefully

Well, Trump already named MBS in his speech ... calling him day and nite to strike Iran.

If true they are all but wanting the Israelis to fully engage them in Lebanon home turf advantage

Israel running critically low on missile interceptors, U.S. officials say​

Israel informed the United States this week that it is running critically low on ballistic missile interceptors as the conflict with Iran continues, U.S. officials told Semafor.

U.S. officials said Washington has been aware of Israel's limited interceptor capacity for months, with one official saying the shortage was "something we expected and anticipated." The official added that the United States is not facing a similar shortage of its own interceptors.
So I believe the Israelis are running low on interceptors but I also believe this senator is being dishonest about Americas own reserves if they are taking from stock from countries like Korea and strong arming European allies to give them their reserves it means America can’t keep production that these interceptors aren’t an infinite stock that trump pretends it is

This increases likelihood of future nuclear war if nations are unable to inflict conventional damage on each other

Russia now has incentive to supply Iran with drones. Not that it has a way, idk?

China may not actually prefer this war. Unless it drags on for long and US deploys grounds troops for a ground invasion, then it will maybe make some moves in Taiwan.

Haaretz on security estimates: Iran has so far launched around 400 ballistic missiles toward Israel (since beginning of war)

 

[Musings]

The US hasn't targeted Iranian Oil infrastructure nor has it struck at the pillars of the Iranian economy. Bridges, dams, power grid are yet to go down. If you don't think Iran has anything to lose then you are mistaken.

No doubt Iran has plenty to lose. What you have to accept is THEY were attacked and have no choice but to fight like cornered tigers. They simply have to fight and do whatever it can. They have a ling heritage and sitting back absorbing is not what they are about. The damage they have inflicted or are capable of inflicting cannot be downplayed.
Even BBC and SKY are suggesting the unintended consequences for the Americans and its bases in the ME is astronomical

That was actually funny to be fair I think he’s going to want payback for his dad and family I don’t think he is going to be anything like his dad his dad sadly believed himself to be pragmatic and a realist I think his son is going make everyone wish they never touched Iran

 

[HAIDER]

They got a green light and supply from somewhere ... maybe Syria open the passage ...

Iran urges Middle East nations to ‘expel’ US forces; Trump says other countries ‘must take care’ of Hormuz​

I think much is true yes Iran had a robust military program above ground but like many states and groups a lot of it has gone underground over the years I’m thinking even even if the numbers they can produce are far lower in war time I can see realistically they can produce dozens a month spread out in different underground cities for a year or longer to compensate for any losses for the short term

 

[Shags101]

Where’s that percent success rate or like @Immortals likes to say 10000 percent success rate
