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

Bro, stop posting these random accounts that make claims but show no source or evidence.

@RescueRanger @Musings

Latest reports just out a couple hours ago confirm 10 US troops wounded at Prince Sultan. No KIA.

Chalk that up to fake news. Similar incident happened to Air Canada:

Good analysis, makes sense

Thank you. Our education requires us to have sufficient evidence and clear logic when analyzing problems.

I was just making some inferences based on the news.

Since the United States conducted two Section 301 investigations against China, our Ministry of Commerce issued two announcements on March 27, respectively initiating two trade barrier investigations on a reciprocal basis regarding the United States' practices and measures that disrupt the global supply chain and the United States' practices and measures that hinder the trade of green products.

The United States needs to stop its aggression against Iran, and we are waiting for the continuation of the trade war with the United States.

Any reports of BDA in the Zio settler colony or is just a case of scratch injuries requiring rabies vaccination?

I talked to a source in Beijing yesterday about news reports that China was selling Iran various chips and missiles. He would not confirm specifics. But what he said was very interesting. To China, what is happening in the Persian Gulf is a laboratory of their policies of sea denial:

1) He said that China is collecting field data from Iranian conflict zones to identify the radar and thermal signatures of American, and weapons.
2) They are waiting to see how Iran's chokepoint warfare in the Strait of Hormuz works. They plan to use similar swarming tactics near their shores and around Taiwan.
3) China managed the Iranian transition to the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System. This allows China to evaluate the performance and precision of its encrypted military signals in a contested electronic warfare environment.
4) By providing intelligence, radar, and electronic warfare support, China can assess the effectiveness of its technology against Western platforms like the F-35 without direct military engagement. He hinted that this has been more successful than expected.

The bottom line (this is my interpretation and not what my source said): is China is loving this war. It is not only weakening the US and depleting their missile and interceptor stocks, but is also giving China examples of what works and allowing it to test its weapon systems while killing American soldiers and destroying American equipment. All without putting a single Chinese soldier at risk.

Very interesting and, yes, it makes perfect sense. Testing Chinese military tech in real war and that too at the minimal risk is absolutely desirable. However, there are other equally, if not more, important aspects that must also be considered. I would appreciate if you could possibly shed some light from a different angle.

1. With the Strait of Hormuz closed for over a month now, what's the Chinese policy regarding its closure. While it may be true that China is getting its oil supplies from Iran uninterrupted, Chinese exports to Europe and the US are on a grinding halt. For how long Chinese will be averse to that loss? More than that, a slowing global economy will affect Chinese exports to other countries too.
2. The attack on Iran might be difficult or impossible to justify but Iranian stranglehold on a naturally free water, the Strait of Hormuz, is clearly a violation of international laws. Comparing the strait with Suez or Panama canal doesn't make sense. How the control over man-made canals passing through the land of sovereign states can be used to justify Iran's control over the natural sea lanes passing through the sea? As the time passes and the world feels the heat, the world community will get united against the Iranian blackmail. What will be China's policy if the current blockade of Strait of Hormuz by Iran continues for extended period.
3. What is China's strategic vision regarding the Middle East? Specifically, how Chinese take possibility of nukes in the hands of Iranians or/and Arabs given the fact that Zionists are already believed to have the nukes?

Iran's military capability is essentially throwing rockets around, that's it. Their ground troops are worthless and against a foe like the US will most likely be wiped out if they attempted anything more than guerilla tactics.

@RescueRanger Are you able to check if this a false flagger? He's been posting crap lately.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said to view US-Israeli war as ‘historic opportunity’ to remake Middle East

www.theguardian.com

The relationship between Saudi Arabia and Iran has never truly been reset. Those warm exchanges and nice words before the war? Meaningless, hollow statements.

If they were to unite their efforts, they could transform and reshape the Middle East together; however, what we observe instead is them trying to trip each other with the help of foreigners or proxies.

Given the tempo these aircraft are being put through, I'm not surprised if an emergency landing or two happens.

Weird. A TUIfly airplane flew from NATO airbase Geilenkirchen to NATO airbase Konya today. Tui is a private airline.

We can estimate that prior to the start of this conflict Iran had around 4000 ballistic missiles of which 1300 have been launched at Israel and US.

With 2700 missiles left Iran can continue launching ballistic missiles at Israel and US for another 2 months at current rate.
