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

[Kyussis]

Our F-14s were the game changer weapon for us. Anyway, the point is that the IRIAF and the IRIAA helped us defend our territory and even expand into the Iraqi territory.

We could've invested in an air force. The Russians sold us RD-33 engines and were developing a joint fighter named Shafagh with us.

The Shafaqh project came to a halt when the U.S put enough pressure on the Russians to end their cooperation in the project. Shafagh itself was only a light fighter /Advance Jet trainer, nothing game changing. Iran could have spent a $100 billion on the IRIAF but at the end of the day, it still would not be a match for the USAF and IAF. Iran has managed to build a formidable Missile and Drone force that has proven its worth against the world's sole superpower while having one of the smallest Defense budgets in all of West Asia!

It's hard to hide the shooting down of a jet fighter.

Not when they crash in remote uninhabited mountains!

Right.
And I think we need to reconsider from simplistic discussions like 'The Ceasefire was to allow Israel-America to rearm'. As far as I can tell, Iran benefits more from this ceasefire and especially by its shorter duration, as @Aziqbal said several pages above.

Fair enough but neither should be words of an Iranian-Italian who denies multiple reports of Pakistani escorts of the Iranian delegates from inside the Iran through landing in Islamabad. Why is it so hard for you to believe the Pakistani escort when Iran doesn't even have an air force and when Iran is unable to protect its topmost leadership in this war?
You had above denied any Pakistani aircraft presence in Iran to help the Iranian delegates and yet you don't logically see that possibility? What is your animus toward Pakistan?!!

Pakistan’s covert air escort strategy​

Pakistani aviation and military officials coordinated an 'air mobility deception' to safeguard the Iranian delegation’s flight from Gorgan to Islamabad. A Pakistani Airbus A321, with its transponder on, flew alongside the Iranian Airbus A300, which had its transponder switched off, making it invisible to civilian secondary radar but trackable on primary military radar. The route included extended flight time over Afghanistan and an entry into Pakistan via Chaman, with Pakistan Air Force assets on alert

Fighter jet escorts for US delegation​

US Vice President JD Vance’s aircraft was escorted by at least five Pakistan Air Force F-16 jets as it entered Pakistani airspace. This visible show of protection, mirrored by a formal reception for both US and Iranian delegations,

You have to start somewhere. We spent more than $100 billion on our proxy groups and Syria and what have we achieved with all that money?

Our missiles have proven to be ineffective at deterring Israel, or the US. And we seem quite vulnerable when it comes to defense. Our only effective weapon so far has been the Strait of Hormuz.

Not when it crashes in the mountains!

Even in mountains, there are people with cameras and smart phones.

The thing is that US has the capability to obliterate almost any airforce before they even get a chance to take off. And this is before the US sends in their own airforce.

maybe so but they haven't really had much competition have they. Usually they just bombing the shit out of countries that have been under sanctions for years

So this is hilarious they’re saying hey the strait is now open to all except Iran so I’m guessing now hundreds of ships are NOT going to be going through those waters because they are smart enough not to risk bringing blown out of the water I’m guessing tomorrow they will hit Iran again Iran I hope doesn’t wait but hits Israel and its allies all over don’t hit American forces because I’m feeling that’s what Trump wants to push nato to finally do his bidding not fair but they have to wait for American forces to hit first or flying to over their country armed with missiles

No I think it’s going to start with the Israelis tonight or very early tomorrow morning it’s an obvious pattern when they cancel these court appearances something is coming and it’s sooner than later

It is at best childish.
Irán just need to use smaller boats attached to the shore.
But Saudis, EAU and Qataris will use aircrafts just to import each lettuce and tomato.
Good luck with US new idea.
