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.

Iran can support and arm the locals and suppress Saudi reinforcements. Every time the Bahrainis protest, Saudi/UAE forces roll into Bahrain using the bridge to crush the Bahraini people. This image is from 2011:

Not that I support it, but let’s be honest Iran is getting their ass kicked

How so. I guess you are a US citizen and can't bear that humiliation.
Forget about world support not even a support inside US. All war objectives failed with significant losses. And you didn't even make a dent in Iran,s fighting capability. Infact now Iran is more dangerous than ever.

Yes, I fully remember the period of the Arab Spring in Bahrain but that failed and was suppressed relatively easily.

If Iran wants to take back Bahrain, we need something more than a color revolution, assuming that we could start one. We didn't start the uprising in Bahrain in 2011.

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.

Subjugating a Shia majority population by a Sunni dictator is ok by you. Got it!

Had she been killed, it would've been a huge PR win for Iran in the Muslim world.

No, quite the contrary, it will be a diplomatic failure. If you use missiles to bomb those senators who have no strategic value, other countries will perceive that youovernment is merely venting the people's anger rather than truly striking a blow to Israel's national interests. They will conclude that you still lack the resolve to resist.

I'm not following your logic. Killing a Knesset member means that you lack the resolve to resist? What? How did you come up with such a conclusion?

Jon Stewart the typical closeted liberal zionist showing his true colors with anti-Iran subtle under the radar programming of late.

I think this war should end either by capitulation or a long-term settlement between us and the US. Anything else in between is disaster for Iran and Iranians.

Israel is committed to killing any pragmatic voices, and it suits their interests to let IRGC hardliners take control. That is the direction of the country.

At least I hope they can do what Khamenei failed to do, and build nukes.

Liquid fuel missiles are comparatively simple compared to solid fuel missiles, we can still produce those quite easily.

He served as English interpreter for Deng Xiaoping in the 1980s and has held roles in diplomacy, investment banking, and energy policy.

Aside from Kashmiris, Indian Muslims are kept obsolete by the ruling Hindutva regime.

Listen closely.

Indian Muslims completely cucked, Hindutva wolves are devouring them for 80 years and they only have themselves to blame...no one respects weakness and shameless appeasing. These poor wretched souls are trapped proving their loyalties to hindus in perpetuity.

I think Israel would rather prefer a takeover by the reformists, if regime change is not possible in the near future.

If you look at the people they have assassinated so far, nearly all of them were hardliners except for a few cases like Larijani and Shamkhani. I think Larijani and Shamkhani were assassinated due to their extensive influence in the system, not because they were hardliners. No major reformist figure has ever been touched by these bombings. Zarif, Rohani, Khatami, Pezeshkian, they're all safe without a scratch.

I still think that Israel will try regime change again and again and again until it happens and if Iran signs a bad peace deal with the US, it will be the end of the Islamic Republic.

If you remember, one of my initial predictions was that Iran and the US would fight for a month without a winner, then the IR would accept a ceasefire like the 12-day war, then the US would increase its economic pressure on Iran and would have another go at it a few months later. We will enter a cycle of war + economic pressure + internal instability until the system collapses.

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

I doubt that Iranian missiles are precise enough to hit a specific house. It will be a coincidence that’s all.

Well..we are how long into this war..and what exactly have they hit yet in Israel that was specifically targeted?

I think they hit that Weizmann Institute of Science...but what else?
