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

[925boy]

There is a total media silence. That's very strange. At least some news about the guy recovering. I mean it was a really big event and lots of news about the rescue itself.
Or maybe I have not followed the news enough.

The only thing then that explains the media silence around the downed US pilot is that the US as a country obviously doesn't feel good or proud of the war against Iran and it's militarys performance in the war,simple as that. We are not in that old "US military cant be touched its a perfect fighting force the world ever saw" era anymore.
The deaths and Injuries the US navy received from the last clash with the houthis have still not been released publicly, and that was the start of heavy censorship of war deaths by the US govt.

Then you have not been following the last quarter century of the American bombings inside Pakistan, killing Pakistani soldiers in the Salala border force (2011), sanctions on missiles program, coercing Pakistan into being India's B-team against China, Pakistan blocking NATO supplies into Afghanistan for months, bad press, including planting stories in NY Times on almost daily basis against Pakistan.
It is only when Trump II presidency came that Pakistan is getting some breathing space for reasons I don't totally understand.
Pakistan is so hopelessly lost to China that Americans have now given up on Pakistan and decided to let Pakistan be.

Well its Trump so not depended on American deep state, but on his personality. I think maybe he thinks Pakistan can pivot back to the West. Don't think it will, especially now. its just a transactional relationship. Honestly, I'm getting tired of the Iranians keep repeating that Pakistan is an American stooge. Everyone loves to hate on Pakistan as their favorite whipping boy. Just today I saw the Indians are pushing a new narrative that Pakistan backstab the US in the ceasefire talks. Before they were pushing that Pakistan is helping the US in attacking Iran in hopes that Iran launches an attack on Pakistan.

@Persian Gulf
Iran's currency has lost almost 15%-20% of its value in the last week. Pezeshkian is preparing the country for the new round of protests, it seems.

Araghchi and his men's clumsy diplomacy has cost Iran the advantage it gained on the battlefield. The IDF invasion is expanding in Lebanon, and Iran is under a naval blockade, cutting off its supplies. The UAE and Saudi Arabia are diverting exports via pipelines, leaving Iran isolated. Time is no longer on Iran's side. Once Iran is sufficiently worn down, the Zionist Air Force, fully resupplied, will launch a surprise attack. Iran has lost the war on the battlefield of diplomacy.

Yeah, this carries on and you can see a lot of holidays being cancelled....

And every day the US delays returning to military action against , its confidence in its ability to achieve its goals via military means rereduces.

Also, I've come to the conclusion that the main reason US needed the ceasefire and maintains it is to prevent further deaths and injuries amongst its troops in the gulf(tol many died and got injured in a short time period), due to its inability to protect its troops effectively, because it is low on air defense interceptors.

Ukraine really drained US militarily.

More than Chahbahar port was offered by Israel to India: Access to the resources of the Israeli lobby to bring Trump back to India, spying on Pakistan, destabilization of Pakistan through proxies in Afghanistan, sophisticated weapon sales. Even some Indian analysts had said that Modi didn't have to go to Israel to sign those deals/agreements that he signed and that too just before the attack on Iran was launched.
Modi is a dumbass like Trump to be duped by Netanyahu and sadly for India it is India which will pay the price big way in the Middle East. But look at what 'democracy' can deliver: Modi, Trump and Netanyahu!

You hit the nail on the head, the Indians on their visit to Israel few days before the attack likely concluded with the Israelis and UAE to carve up Iran. For the Indians it's a civilization war against Islam. Their vloggers spreading anti-Islamic disinformation and pushing for a secular government more aligned to ancient Persia, zoroastrians past to bind both nations at the hips. Chahbar port was probably promised for the support. This is why the indians refused instant condemnation - took them days. They fully bought into the Israeli/UAE alliance and believed that the Iranian government was on its last legs. UAE signed a defense treaty with the indians right? UAE imports them in industrial scale, open up temples for them, just had the israeli deploy their soldiers and AD there. Pushes anti-Muslim politicians and disinformation across the West. Its a page straight out of the Israeli playbook. The question what will the Iranians do about the indian trojan horse? 1.4 bn population - but weak with arrogance and pride of massive delusions - decided to firmly place themselves as open enemy of the Islam and Muslims.

This is it, they diversified away from oil to business and tourism, but business and tourism need stability. They are literally one airspace denial away from crumbling. Cannot fly over Iran and if Saudi wanted to they could cut them off tomorrow. Leaving OPEC to shove it to the Saudis was a massive mistake. Also, I would not be surprised at all if MBS has not thought about sending his tanks straight in....

Exactly, remember Qatar blockade with food shelves getting empty? And thats Qatar who still had other regional powers like Iran and Türkiye supporting in time of need. UAE will be royally fked if Saudis decide to do the Qatar on them. Literally everyone in the region hate them now.

and to add the Iranian Navy ship after visiting India....

I don't think they give af. I mean they just stationed Israeli troops there and equipment. Its a shame actually. I liked Dubai and Abu Dhabi. They provided a lot of jobs to people from around the world. Iran did a lot of trade through the bazaaris there. I really hope they survived and recover - but as a Muslim leader, not a stooge of the non-Muslims.

They can have all the Israelis they want, but if Qatar type blockade is imposed on them, they have no one in their vicinity for help. They are already reeling as things stand.

You may think the below story is off topic, but bear in mind that the more the November election nears, the more political pressure will build on Trump to resolve the Iran conflict. This will be in addition to economic and energy pressure. Iran just needs to hang on.

Depending on loading rate, Iran could handle another 4-6 weeks in tanker loadings provided no additional empty tankers arrive. Add to that, vacant storage capacity on shore.

Omg look at this idiot. He surpassed Kim of North Korea in publicity.

Iran has become a failed state. The US is winning the war decisively, it seems.

After the June war, 1 USD was about 85,000 IRT. Now 1 USD is approaching 185,000 IRT in less than 12 months. Most of this inflation has happened since late December.

That's an annual currency inflation of 117%, round it up to 120% because it hasn't been a full 12 month period yet. Last year, salaries increased by 45% to 60% only. You don't need to be a genius to see that this system will collapse before Trump leaves the office.

The ceasefire reset the regime to their factory settings again.

Iran shouldn't and wouldn't need to trade through the desert bazaaris if it weren't for the sanctions. In other words UAE profited immensely from the strangulation of Iran and worked hard to maintain it.

Regarding foreign workers, those jobs and remittances probably came at a cost to their home countries. Not to mention the awful treatment of these workers. A 'royal' Gulfie acquaintance once half jokingly said you can find an "Indian slave in the trunk of every sheik's car." I could not believe the hubris and lack of humanity.

It is time for the skyscrapers to sink back into the sand where they belong.
