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

[Magi]

The big oil related "prize" is the money he and his people made by manipulating the energy market this week.

Thats such an oversimplification if not an outright and deliberate distortion of history. Persian empire had been weakened by years of internal strife and war against many enemies.

Anyway, back to THIS war.

yeah, its same as the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453, leaving out how the Byzantine empire had by then declined and shrunk to just a few kilometers around the city. Anyways back to topic.

Persians were still significantly more powerful than their Arab counterparts.
I'm just saying @KingQamaR is overestimating the significance of Iranian Geography in wake of foreign invasion.

Arabs conquered it 100 of years ago with just swords and limited manpower.
So...

What???
What are you talking about, even in most modern iteration, Iran is among oldest nations and never been taken to be foreign colony...nations like this could be counted on fingers of one hand...
years you are saying, lol...

Not as embarrassing as 3000 English soldiers, colonising Indians Half billion people. Explain that to me how they were able to do that then !

I bet majority of Americans don't even know they are in a war right now, they probably don't even know where is Iran located.

What does that have to do with what I said? lol

you probably haven't read history, Arabs back then were strong , very strong .. they had persia , Egypt , Iraq, Syria etc. but arabs back then were driven by faith and they had honour , not like today sheikh who are driven by american bases.

no shame to say it, I'm Egyptian and yes arabs conquered Egypt.

Lets agree to disagree. Mountains make logistics expensive, both men and material. Iran can booby trap every square mile of their territory. Landing zones where the enemy air drops? Right within missile range.

Maybe they think Iran wants to move towards the plutonium path?
There's a reason they are hitting Bushehr multiple times. If they want to hit power plants, there are better options with less risk.

They are hitting the grounds. It’s a game of brinksmanship. Iran has been hitting around Diamona and today fired a warning shots at one of the largest power plant.

It’s all brinksmanship.

If Israel wanted to hit it, they would have. They have pinpoint accuracy munitions. So I doubt they are missing. It’s intentional. But they eventually might hit it and these strikes are merely to give time for Russians to evacuate the facility.

We shall see.

Despite the optics of Iranian missiles impacting israel and US bases in the Gulf, with some success in destroying radars, there is very little damage to show for it in terms of degrading the ability of the US and israel to continue to attack Iran. No israeli or US air base has been destroyed, no US navy vessel has been destroyed, so US support base for refuelling tankers taken out etc. Meanwhile, the US and israelis are gradually destroying and degrading Iranian weapons and their ability to launch missiles. The only real damage the Iranians have done is economic.

Commander of Iran’s Missile Force: Trump must learn that every threat and ultimatum against Iran is part of an act of war. The strikes by the fighters on the strategic points of Dimona and Haifa in recent hours, separate from pursuing Iran's military strategy, were a clear message in response to the American 2-day and 5-day threats.
