US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

[hasssanali8998]

I have my doubts if it can sustain these losses for a longer period

time is in their favor
same country that fought the grueling iraq iran war ( child soldiers , against chemical weapons and milion casualties )

the longer they can keep the hormuz the better their position gets
u CANT beat geography

Success of any asymmetric war depends on the capacity to take huge losses and still survive...so far Iran is holding on , however , I have my doubts if it can sustain these losses for a longer period.... agrarian societies with backing of powerful countries are more suited for asymmetric warfare .

This!

I am also interested in the US perspective on this Trump tweet from 2019: "GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE....."

Was he wrong then, or now?

What's your point ? Are you asking Mr. morality to come to your rescue..... morality is a refuge of the meek

It cannot afford a protracted conflict,

Wow when was thought of affordability a high priority for the US Government to think about when spending money...how long were we "affordably" in Afghanistan/Iraq again?

I am interested in the US perspective on this apparent hypocrisy

USA is asking for an extra $500billion on top of the 1trillion it spends...

Sir ji, a little more elaboration of the post in reference, for the dumb witted ones like me, would be greatly appreciated. I can't seem to add the 2 plus 2 here.

I am not making a point. I am asking for an American perspective on Trump's tweet from 2019. Are you American?

I am also keen to hear the American perspective on the objectives of the war. Is it still to liberate Iranians from our evil government ("help is on its way!")? How does threatening to bomb our water desalination plants, return us to the "stone ages", and steal our oil, help to liberate Iranians?

RAF Mildenhall - The 352d Special Operations Wing. The 352nd Wing serves as the focal point for all U.S. Air Force special operations activities throughout the European theater for U.S. European Command (USEUCOM), as well as Africa for U.S. Africa Command (USAFRICOM) and Southwest Asia and the Middle East for U.S. Central Command.

The wing is prepared to conduct a variety of high priority, low-visibility missions supporting U.S. and allied special operations forces during peacetime, joint operations exercises, and combat operations.

Spotted over the UK Eastward bound:



In Centcom AOR Today

These aircraft are unique because they often fly with taped serials (meaning you are unable to make out the registration/tail numbers), they can fly low enough to be undetected to radar and have the ability to refuel special forces helicopters in the air. They will go transponder off and Silent when exiting friendly territory and are equipped with the super-secret Silent Knight Radar.

What makes the Silent Knight Radar so special is that it is an advanced, low-probability-of-detection/interception (LPI/LPD) multi-mode radar designed for U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). It enables helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft—including the MH-47G, MH-60M, and CV-22—to fly safely at low altitudes (100–1,000 ft) in adverse weather and high-threat environments.

As the war drags on, with no immediate end in sight-military observers and analysts have been hearing rumors of a possible military infiltration of Iran, the recent block flights of these highly specialized and secretive aircraft leaving the UK and operating in EUCOM (US European Command) AOR is a concerning and development.

US Blackhawk Callsign MFO300S repeatedly appeared on ADB flying above Tel Aviv again:

The Blackhawk in question is assigned to the 2_211th Army Aviation Wing Utah Air National Guard and specializes in lift and support for Special Forces.
