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

[dbc]

comically ignorant of Iran, like most Americans.

Iran's military budget is $20 billion. a significantly lower percentage of its GDP compared to virtually all of Iran's neighbours.

just worry about your new $1.5 trillion military budget and extra $200 billion for America's latest illegal war.

Wow, only 20 billion $'s for defense and proxies in Syria, Lebanon and Yemen. Iran must get the friends and family discount. Why would I worry about the cost of the Iran war? You think the terms of surrender or ceasefire will not have reparations baked into it? Clearly you missed the fact that even today Iraqs oil revenue is controlled by the US. It's the same with Venezuela. Clearly I have less to worry about as an American than you as an Iranian. Unless you believe this war will end on Iran's terms. You may be right but only time will tell.

@Persian Gulf

I am keeping log of ADs/Radars and aircrafts destroyed with citations, visuals.

I hope someone (you?) keeping record of missile strikes/waves and their proven hits through sat/on ground visuals?. This thread and few X accounts I follow have all of them, they need to be sorted out in proper date wise manner.

Maybe the admins here can create a webpage on this forum from the home page that allow you to create to catalogue this war by day ? One for the record, as we know Wiki is compromised as a neutral source ? A running commentary?

@Mr X ?

Iran has allies, not proxies. America has proxies, they are called the Arab states, lol.

In case you hadn't noticed, Iran doesn't exactly spend much on its air force or navy. If you have information to suggest Iran's military budget is above $20b, feel free to share it.

I am not sure if this could be labelled as revolutionary government in Iran, practically any government will be same to defend already attacked nation...Do you think that anyone who is openly about to "comprise" with zio-empire could stand on the dealing right now...traitors are in every possible nation, but they should not be a dominant force...


After this war, if on next elections more than half of population votes, it is continuity of Iranian National Doctrine, for achieving independence and self-reliance in global terms, regardless of internal political system...

Maybe president will have more operational power, but this network of institutions with parliament and councils is most efficient to Iranian National interest...

IRI is a revolutionary system that was born out of populist leftist student protests against Monarch. Mullahs hijacked the movement much later. So these two formed the IRI. System is not plural, capitalists, monarchists, seculars, nationalists all left or were kicked out. They over the period of time created the psycho diaspora we have including all of us members here.

As a government, IRI mullahs have been extremely harsh and stupid in past so they created an army of traitors. Iranians are inherently very stubborn and egomaniac types. We keep grudges. Majority that chose to act against IRI wanted to get back at them for some personal reason.

Good idea. This thread has become a bin anyways.

Its a country of 100 million almost and they've knocked out a few drones and damaged a few aircraft, navy is non existent apart from small craft, similar to Ukraine, a good weapon against a defenceless enemy but it's limited in use and still requires a base. And the missile force is what it is, it's useful for fear but offers nothing militarily speaking, and the actual damage range of them is pretty poor, destroying a house if your lucky.

Compared to the first week Iran's fighting ability is getting worse and worse, hence their targets are now ones of desperation which could work for or against them depending on who cracks first.

Settle down. This is a war. A long war ...

( unfortunately, but that is the reality of it ).

We members can. May be some dedicated mod @Persian Gulf ?

Off topic but we have tried to engage community for similar roles in the past, they say it but nobody wants to take such responsibility in the long run. Such role can’t be given to a random person as it has to be balanced analysis.

If you wish to discuss, please create a seperate thread in suggestions as this is off topic

Thank you

50 billion $ on propping up Asaad regime in Syria as per a 2024 leaked Iranian documents. 1 billion $'s on Hezbollah, 400 m$ on Hamas and 200 m$ on Houthis each year as per European research institutes. I'm surprised you believe your allies cost you nothing? There are no official figures from the Iranian government so the above numbers are guesses but I'm confident Iran didn't secure these allies without cost.

To be fair, it's hard to avoid authoritarian rule when main global power is your main opponent... Non-functional nation states like Syria or Lebanon failed to carry themselves...unlike Iran...

Of course, the problem arises when its too ideologically rigid internally against what people's lifestyle is like. Domestic freedoms can't be ignored.

Have multiple verified members given permissions to add entries is one suggestion. For example the think tanks could do it.
