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

Which surprisingly they are not, most probably deu to unavailability of location information.

Location information is available with pinpoint co-ordinates. Anybody can go on google maps to find the co-ordinates of anything. Besides, I think Persian Gulf shared the co-ordinates of these facilities before.

unavailability of location information?

How can be hidden a power plant or a desalination plant?

The location of the radio station that was broadcasting a series of numbers in Persian (Numbers Station) has been identified in Germany.
This location belongs to a U.S. military base in Germany.

A 48-hour ultimatum — posted on social media.
And the world is now on a countdown.

Trump’s message is blunt:
Open the Strait of Hormuz
Or Iran’s power infrastructure will be “obliterated”
Iran’s response is just as clear:
Strike our infrastructure — and the Strait shuts
Regional energy systems and infrastructure become targets
This is escalation — by design.

What makes this moment far more dangerous:
This is not about military targets.
It is about civilian infrastructure — power, water, hospitals.
And once that line is crossed, escalation does not stay contained.

This is the new equation:
• The US can cripple Iran’s grid
• Iran can choke ~20% of global oil supply
• The Gulf’s energy and critical infrastructure become vulnerable
This is mutually assured economic destruction.
And it will not remain regional.
Markets are already reacting:
• Oil is surging
• Risk is being repriced
• Supply chains are already to strained

Bottom line:
This ultimatum is not just a warning.
It is a trigger point
Where a regional conflict can become a global economic shock

March 23 is not a deadline.
It is a fault line. With marines arriving we are now at final hours of showdown.

They didnt neglect defense actually. In 2024 the first isreali attack was repelled successfully by air defenses. But radar based air defenses which was the only available route for Iran in that time didnt return the dividends back against the two major air powers combined. But now Iran is on good route with IIR EO systems and they are thinking of ways to counter those new threats by modifying their current systems or creating new ones.

Another issue was cruise missile defense. isreal and usa attacks with cruise missiles(or albm but they are low in number) where they dont want to risk to enter and defending against cruise missiles should not be that difficult as we see in Ukraine theater. Similarly defending against kamikaze drones is not too difiicult even with machine gun based systems. These low altitude cheaper defenses needs to be produced in higher quantities and needs to be camouflaged by radar-thermal scattering camo nets, shoot scoot mode operations to be protected from high altitude threats.

I think they have multiple dimensions they also use alcms or other standoff weapons and not to mention fighter bombers, and bombers when it is safe and they are serious. That's where Iran needed a fully functional airforce with air defense and air assets to defend and counter punch. But I assume they did not have much choice due to sanctions and probably due to some stubbornness too.

Yeah but need to hit Israeli desalination and power plants too.

hitting nuclear power plant cores of isreal resulting in a meltdown is for nuclear deterrence(along with dirty bombs ofcourse) but hitting nodes, power connections etc. of nuclear power plant can be done with satellite pictures putting the power plants out of operation for a long time without meltdown.

usa will possibly hit Iranian nuclear plants connections and other nodes to not to result in nuclear meltdown making them out of operation but hit other plants like thermal-gas power plants throughly where there is no meltdown risk. So uae nuclear plant should be attacked in a similar manner hitting power connections where there is no meltdown risk, Hitting water connections can result in meltdown. bahrain gas plant and jordan thermal plant can be attacked throughly.

The usa attack would mostly be carried out by cruise missiles without risking too many usa planes. but they can do an initial run to take out air defenses around the area before the main attack so Iranian anti cruise and anti aircraft defenses around that area needs to be mobile and camouflaged.

I believe they should not hit desalination plants it has a direct influence on people who are not projecting this voilence on Iran. Also I think reading all about Karbala would think they understand what thirst and starvation means. They might do it nonetheless once some idiot(s) (you know who) does something similar.

Iwo Jima was also bombarded by battleships before being invaded and the thought was the Japanese couldn’t survive on such a tiny island from the massive cannon fire. And yet still there was 7000 KIA and 19K+ injuries. Again how big was Iwo Jima? 30 square miles?

Qeshm is a natural floating aircraft carrier and is sitting less than 30 miles off the coast. It has networks of tunnels and was specifically developed for this exact task we are talking about, that’s why it’s sparsely populated. Iran doesn’t need human shields to hold it.

Your logic applies both way, even if the marines manage to secure the island at great cost. They are now sitting ducks on that same island as Iran bombards them with artillery, MLRS, drones, FPV, etc.

Many notable military analysts and former officials have discussed the fallacy of this island hopping logic.

To me it’s a feint and the real attack is somewhere else. Again your pre-war predictions were wildly off and I feel these ones are the same. But you are entitled to your opinion.

I believe real target is Chabaha.

There is some bet in polymarket of how hard USA will fck the world tonight?

Because it seems they are about to do something really evil and stupid, again.

The current USA administration of shabbos goyim monkeys and his stupidity is astonishing.

As you said they didnt have many options and some suppliers even delayed the fighter planes they purchased. But what can be done in future is to create a drone based high altitude air defense. More Karrar type reusable weapons that will also have stealth characteristics(Valkyrie, Vanguard, bqm 177a or similar types) to cover large areas just like interceptor planes. A paradigm shift is necessary against an adversary that is specialised in targeting radar based static air defenses.

Karabala situation should be repeated on Israel, they deserve it.

As for the Arabs, I would say take out 40-60% of their water capacity. That will ensure they have water to drink but not enough to use it on industries which keep the economy afloat. A lot of foreigners will also leave if they are reduced to drinking water only. This will achieve the desired objective.

If trump carries on his threat, world is going to be a lot different from next day.

I didn't say nuclear power plants. Israel has a number of non-nuclear power plants and big ones at that.

The mighty saudi army! Conquerors of World, bigger than US, bigger than Israil.. Now its really over for Iran.. haha

You very obviously failed to consider the repercussions of Saudia going to war against Iran. That would literally mean the US would have a launchpad against Iran just a few hundred km's away, from Saudi territory + the hundreds of Saudi war planes pounding Iran penny for penny. It would also compel other GCC countries to go to war against Iran too. And at some point, in time, Pakistan too would be dragged. And Pakistan getting into the war could also potentially mean Pakistan allowing the US to place boots on the ground against Iran.

Can Iran really fight all this and continue to fight all these countries combined? 3 of which have battlefield nuclear weapons? I mean how long can the Iranian Missiles last?

This is obviously the worst scenario in my mind right now, and the scariest because I don’t see this going anywhere other than complete and utter annihilation for Iranian forces and another Afghanistan for Pakistan to manage in Iran if Iran continues to ignore the sincerest of advises and goes on attacking GCC infrastructure.

Instead of all this, Iran should increase diplomacy with GCC countries, commit to not attacking the GCC infrastructure and insist on removal of US bases from these countries in the most diplomatic way possible. And at the same time, Iran should also make urgent requests with China and Russia to supply it with weapons with which it can atleast defend itself against the US and Israeli Air Force.
