Tom & Jerry War

 

[Persian Gulf]

Few days later we will have reports of US troops got injured there while eating soup because it had too much salt

Even if nothing got through this time, depleting air defence interceptors is always a worthwhile cause

It also points out another fact:

Iran's capability and ability to launch strikes even of this size may not be as degraded as some would like to believe.

That, or Iran has been working overtime to restore what has been attacked.

this assassination took place during the war, not now. I am actually somewhat encouraged by the IRI's growing confidence.

Iran shot down a US MQ-1 drone in international waters (US claim), the US did a symbolic response against an empty drone launcher, and Iran fired a missile at the US base in Kuwait, injuring 5 US soldiers and destroying 2 US MQ-9 drones (and forcing Kuwait to expend further Patriot interceptors), and the US backed down without responding

the US attacked a civilian ship linked to Iran in the Gulf of Oman, so Iran attacked a civilian ship linked to the US in the Persian Gulf, hitting it with a cruise missile and USV, and the US backed down without responding

Iran has now established a pattern where it will certainly respond to any provocation by the US, and the US backs down without seeking further escalation. Trump is making fewer threats these days and is keen to avoid returning to war.

The US has expended 30-50% of its high end offensive arsenal and the same percentage of its high end BMD stockpile, which will take years to replace, while Iran has still access to 70%+ of its ballistic missiles, restored access to 80%+ of the missile base tunnels, and already resumed production of drones. Is Trump willing to lose another 30-50% of the US' stockpiles of these high end weapons to reduce Iran's missiles stockpile to 40% instead of 70%? I am not sure that trade off is compelling for the US.

Exactly. It costed USA extreme losses
Both material and also mental meltdown. Look how orange man is behaving now more like a mad man, estranged and defeated.

I am glad Iran is not just only responding, but taking it a notch higher.

This will show US that Iran is definitely not playing around and is serious about defending itself.

Once again, US miscalculated Iran's ability to turn from being defensive to aggressive.

Iranian missiles and drones hit targets. I hope Iran will post satellite images on the internet again.

I hope a major war starts again. We are tired of Israel's crimes and the bombing of Israel must begin.

I assume you will be an active participant then if that does happen? Knowing that you may be killed in the process of defending the country?

 

[Mehdipersian]

How can you say that with confidence. Does Iran have enough drones and medium range missiles to target Israel for atleast 6 months, also can Iran handle Usa aircraft carriers, destroyers, submarines, lastly are the under ground bases secure.

Missiles will rain down on the Israelis and Americans.

Even they themselves will be surprised to see how many missiles and drones Iran has.

We have been waiting for such a war for 47 years.

I too have been expecting it for 47 years. Not that I actively called for it to happen though. But I've known it was only a matter of time.

Where were you during Epic Fury? This is nothing compared to the war that took place a few months ago. People are forgetting that US and Iran have been in a state of war since March this current tit-for-tat are "love taps" by both sides and will remain like this until after 4th of July.

US and Iran contesting control over the Strait of Hormuz which remains closed.

Iran is hurting economically and looking for means to fund reconstruction.

Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar are hurting economically most. UAE next. Then Saudi Arabia.

Iran is likely to emerge most advantageous from any deal. Which is why it made no sense for Trump administration to heed Netanyahu and Israel's call for war on Iran as US has no simple military solution to open the Strait.

And negotiations are taking too long. With both sides stubborn (the US negotiaters are basically Israel not American). The longer it takes, the worrying it gets as there are massive gaps that no one come onto terms with and economic toll globally as well food security will worsen. That is the real problem.
