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

Why are ballistic missiles ineffective? The main reason is how they are used.

In the October War of 1967, ballistic missiles and Luna missiles were employed to: 1- Destroy jamming and electronic warfare centers.
2- Destroy Hawk surface-to-air missile batteries.
3- Destroy airfields in Sinai.

In the First Gulf War, Iraq and Iran used missiles in urban warfare. If the missile strikes had been concentrated on targeting airfields, the war would have been shorter.

Simply put, what is the value of missiles that only strike buildings? Iranian, Lebanese, and Yemeni missiles damaged 18,000 buildings in Israel, and perhaps caused 20,000 injuries and 2,000 deaths.

They were not even used against Israel's 13 airfields, nor against the Dimona nuclear reactor, nor against all the desalination and power plants, all the chemical factories, the Ashdod refinery, and others. In other words, only a limited percentage of the valuable targets were struck. Simply put, when Israel loses its water, electricity, and fuel, it collapses. When all its military sites are completely bombed, it collapses. Simply put, it's a misuse of capabilities, whether fully or not. Whoever launches the missiles fears hitting strategic targets in a way that Israel cannot, and Israel doesn't hesitate to do so against Iran. We all agree that what happened was a small truce for the benefit of America and Israel, preparing the ground to change the situation on the ground. That's why more than 100 military cargo planes arrived in Israel and American bases in the Middle East to provide ammunition to complete the strike on Iran. Israel doesn't see any real deterrence from Iran. We are not criticizing Iran or trying to insult or belittle it, but rather putting things in their proper perspective to correct the objectives and for Iran to make its future strikes effective and deadly for Israel. When Israel and America see that the Iranian threats are being carried out, they will be deterred.

Fake News or is this real?

Lol who is this guy?

I think we should at least do our due diligence before posting any nobody's wishes as "Breaking News".

 

[Arash]

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.

Another delusional moron.....

OMG!! Who has the time of these things to make?! These are even more rediculous AI videos than some Russian sailors scraping barnacles off whales coming to their boats for help (yes, those videos exist!). Hahahahaha!!

Iran obviously got one hand tied behind when conducting the strikes. Israel and america can afford to escalate and hit any targets that they want because they have nuclear deterrence; Iran does not. You can't really hit them and hurt them so bad that trigger them to use a tactical nuke on you.

In intensive talks at highest level in 47 years, Iran engaged with U.S in good faith to end war.

But when just inches away from "Islamabad MoU", we encountered maximalism, shifting goalposts, and blockade.

Zero lessons earned

Good will begets good will.
Enmity begets enmity

Interesting last tweet from Araghchi.

He said deal was almost reached and the Americans suddenly changed conditions.

Trump said that deal was impossible due to nuclear issue.

It seems more credible Araghchi version.

A world superpower changing positions each moment depending of blackmails.

Argachi has been saying a deal is within since May 2025. Each time US bombed Iran.

IMO paf can reasonably fight back against iaf itself and protect own or saudi skies but that it lacks the means to give adequate retaliatory response or deter them entirely

Yup. Even the Egyptian airforce could damage Israel and the IAF, if it was serious about that sort of action (unfortunately, Egypt of today has more of a lego army than a real army that is actually ready for acrion when the time for it comes).

Some random thoughts, its late in the night so please let go of some ramblings....

If we look at the bigger picture we have to conclude - which might be discarded as a conspiracy theory some five years ago, that the Zionists are the winners in all of this and everyone else is a loser. From American people to its democracy, from American strategic calculus vis a vis China to American hard power, from China to Gulf Arabs and Europeans, everyone is a loser except peace loving Jews of Middle East.

If above conclusion is accurate then a time will come in the near future that all the losers of this great game will understand that they are being played and form an alliance to crush the Big Satan. If the affectees dont come together then Gaza is being and will be repeated throughout the region.
