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

Former General Mattis calls Trump war goals as delusional

 

[MS Sandhu]

Brought back some memories from the months leading to the Iraq War 2003. So there was some Arab League session where the Arab leaders--probably the GCC ones--asked Saddam to resign so that the region could avert a war. IIRC, the Saddam delegation guy screamed at the Arab delegates, calling them 'Monkeys' or 'Donkeys'. I don't recall exactly the words now--it was probably in 2002/early 2003.

The same circumstances apply now. The Arab countries enjoying unmatched generational prosperity don't want a war in their neighborhood, would rather have either America or Iran to totally back off. To an extent I could relate to them: If I was living a High Life, would I want strife up and down my street? No. But the problem with some of the rich Arab countries is that they are just kicking the can down the road facing a regional bully, an alien entity called Israel, which would come after them later, in one way or another. For because it is in the very nature of the scorpion to sting!

Israel has literally failed the Iran-Arab re-approachment.
MBS seemed to be quite open to normalize relations with Iran and so was Iranian side but this war has changed everything.
I see Arabs going back to American sphere more strongly since it's the American weaponary that saved them this time.
Even the masks are off now.
Israel has effectively isolated Iran in Middle East and has carved out a place for itself.
This war is not going to end any soon.
But a kind of pause is needed for everyone.

RETURN BAHRAIN BACK TO IRAN

Seems unavoidable at this rate.

Wait until some Americans start calling him Anti-semitic.

How does Iran want to take Bahrain back without CAS? lol Missiles alone will not work.

There is no true military in Bahrain, usually they call the Saudi’s when they want to put down revolts.

Remember Bahrain is basically all Shiite and the King is a Sunni Wahhabi. If the roles were reversed the entire Arab world would be screaming for regime change like they did with Assad.

Bookmarking this one as well.

Gen. Mattis is someone I would listen to. John Brennan not so much. Brennan was also a leader in the Trump Russian Collusion Delusion misinformation campaign and was among the 50 or so who signed off that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation. He continued to cling to that story when it was proven otherwise.

Thousands Of Israelis Are Fleeing The Northern Settlements Due To Hezbollah Fire

Israel’s Maariv reports that despite the Israeli army refusing the evacuate the northern settlements, citizens are silently fleeing anyway, with hundreds of families suddenly uprooting.

The military incursion into southern Lebanon, which Tel Aviv says will reduce the fire on the north, has only led to an escalation in the daily number of drone & missile launches from Hezbollah.

A loss of confidence in the army & political leadership is now widespread amongst Israelis living in the north of occupied Palestine.

Very nice.

If after dodging all the interceptors, it went chasing trump or shatanyahu and ended in their rear end..........

It remains to be seen which way this war goes. An Iran standing up like Hezbollah after the Israel-Hezbollah 2006 conflict would be considered a 'victorious' Iran, however bruised.

In the public domain. Many of you here read the site as well. Article is well worth the read:

Retired Patriot Battalion Commander On The Challenges Of Defeating Iran's Barrages

David Shank, former commandant of the Army's Air Defense Artillery School, offers a frank assessment of how air defenses are performing against Iran.

Yeah, because going the path that Saddam pursued with Kuwait would've ended really brilliantly for Iran.

And Israel has already targeted our Caspian ports numerous times. Russians are useless. You cannot trust commies. Not even once.

Agreed on the first part, Iran will never be in a position to be able to perform a first strike. Coalitions would be built instantly to collectively enact punishment should it be the trigger of hostilities anywhere, against any state actor. There seems to be some tolerance for militias, as Iran has struck PJAK and some Kurdish separatists in the past years without concrete reaction bar public condemnations from the West.

Even though they are not "commies" by any means anymore and now more savagely capitalist and deregulated than any western nation could dream of, I do agree that Russians cannot ever be trusted, would it be in Soviet times or ever since the breakup of the Berlin wall.

Same duplicity, opportunistic and universally unreliable allies or partners. If in doubt ask the Vietnamese in 1975 during Linebaker II where crucial SA-3 were furnished in token quantities that wouldn"t cover even one squadron of attacking B-52s. Or Syrians in 1982 who realized that their export Mig-23s radars covered less distance than IDF F-16s Sparrow missiles Or Armenians more recently during the Karabach conflict. Or Iranians, for the past 47 years. Ok granted some good offers were made by a Ruined post-Soviet Yeltsin Russia, including Mig-31s and Tu-22s that were tragically declined by the then Iranian government fresh out of the Iran-Iraq war, but it was out of desperation in the first place.

That’s not even close to hypersonic

Is there a verified video of hypersonic missile impact?

Yes, but I wasn't worried about the Bahraini Army itself. They have the Saudis and the Americans backing them. Is there any realistic scenario where Iran can invade and hold Bahrain without an air force? It seems absolutely impossible.

Or more recently, Iranians during the 12-day war when we learned that our S-300s were good for nothing. And some called our configuration PMU-3 because it was supposed to the most upgraded export version of S-300 lol

Thats what i am against. Iran destabilizing the region on Sectarian grounds. None of Iran business if Bahrain has a sunni King. Nobody has any problem with Iran Fighting Israel. But under that cover , trying to takeover regional countries is vile.
