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

[Persian Gulf]

Looks like their JDAms have penetrated inside base, lots of secondary blasts

artillery / ammo, not missiles

they have not penetrated any missile base

Rouhani and reformists are hoping that if enough IRGC hardliners die and if Mojtaba dies than someone like Hassan Khomeini or even Rouhani himself can become the next supreme leader or whatever role exists post Mojtaba era.

They are the Delcy Rodriguez that Trump and Israel are looking for. Not Qalibaf. But the problem is they don’t have enough support in the system to current overpower the hardliners. Nor do they have Mojtaba’s ear. At least his father would routinely listen to the reformist point of view.

That’s what got us into this mess, for 25 years we couldn’t commit to either being North Korea or being Post Maduro Venzenula. We ironically became like Saddam, just straddling the fence on bomb or no bomb/negotiations or no negotiations. Again this comes back to reformists (Rouhani camp), pragmatic camp (Larijani and Shamkhani camp), and Khamenai himself who bankrupted this nation without ever dashing for a bomb.

Iran should have sprinted for a bomb under Biden during the distractions of Gaza era. It was the best time to do so. US was facing high inflation and economic problems. Oil was already 100+ a barrel. If a war broke it then it would hit $150+ much more easily then. It really was the best time and a HUGE missed opportunity by Iran’s leadership that has now cost the country dearly.

I remember before the war Rouhani set up a meeting with his influential supporters basically announced his candidacy to be the next SL. This was when Khamenei was seen as old, weak and ineffective.

It doesn't line up with the laws of physics that a victorious IRGC will allow these characters to roam freely after this war. Rouhani cut the defense budget to the point that IRGC resorted to selling land around their bases to fund defense projects.

moment of impact of Iranian RV on US Fifth Fleet HQ in Bahrain, showing multiple failed interception attempts

When the local population is actually cheering you on……I wonder what Trump would say if after this war is over the majority attempts to overthrow the ministry again fair bet he doesn’t even acknowledge it

UAE talking out of both sides of its ass

Never trust the Zionist loving UAE. They are lying scum.

the Prince Sultan Air Base in KSA is not that big. approx 40-50 precise impacts would be sufficient to make the base virtually unusable

even assuming a 90% interception rate of missiles and drones, this is 400 munitions in total. in practice, the interception rate is lower than this.

considering Iran is firing c. 80 missiles and drones per day (excluding munitions fired at Israel), 5 days of dedicated missile/drone strikes (temporarily ignoring other arenas such as Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, etc) would be sufficient to make the base virtually unusable

it would be better for Iran to adapt a 'base by base' approach rather than spreading its fire across a large number of targets each day

It’s keeping them from staging troops in of those bases not knowing when and where the attacks will be coming from just a thought and if they do see a large staging of troops at any of these bases or nearby locations I’m sure they will throw everything at it

USAF still using expensive stand-off stealth JASSMs despite claims of air superiority

One of the missiles struck Isdud, an Israeli occupied city close to Gaza. A precision missile was used. There are a number of high value targets there.





Israeli Media Claim Hezbollah Launched A SCUD-D Missile For The First Time

If true, this means Hezbollah possesses significant weapons that Israel did not anticipate.

The missile carries a 1 ton warhead & hit the Palmachim airbase near Isdud.

Mint Press are making things up. It was a 302mm rocket or something of such sort.

after more than one month of non stop strikes by the US and Israel, Iran is still firing Khorramshahr missiles in daylight

Trump's speech has been confirmed to be a useless one. He's creating a crisis in the Middle East, Asia and for Europe.

While thinking his speech will lower energy prices or stabilize the market, which is globally integrated and gonna get hurt if rest of world is hurting.

Such a dumb administration voted in by even dumber Americans.

You are not wrong there. The below is an old article but does highlight his duplicity.

The question is will Iran stop attacking Americans and their bases in the Middle East just because Trump says that the war is over? That is the real test for everyone.

The question is will Iran stop attacking Americans and their bases in the Middle East just because Trump says that the war is over? That is the real test for everyone.

in that case, Iran should start charging a fee for the use of the Strait of Hormuz, and focus all its efforts on Israel
