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

Persian Gulf said:
The U.S. launched three waves of extensive airstrikes targeting radar and air defence systems in south Iran

Iran’s response was slow, weak, ineffective and far from restoring deterrence, unfortunately

Now Iran’s air defences in the west and south have been heavily degraded by Israel and the U.S., while Iran has not achieved any degradation of Israeli or U.S. military power in response (only a small amount of air defence inventory depletion since Iranian salvos were small)

This status quo is no longer favourable for Iran

Dont be so pesimistic.

It was a minor attack by US and a minor reaction by Iran. Both safing face, both preparing for the next big exchange.
 
Persian Gulf said:
It took Iran hours to launch 6 ballistic missiles and a few drones

Hardly a “crushing” response to major U.S. escalation. Iran is rapidly losing deterrence. If we cannot launch more than a handful of missiles at a time, there are other options to pursue, such as counter value strategies and under sea cables, etc.

Iran's limited response is understandable given the length of this conflict.

We could be in stage of war where enemy might be running low on interceptors and Iran running low on BMs. That's why short during operation from the US and limited response from Iran (only 6 missiles). More important is to be able to respond every time.

US is already building more interceptors and I hope Iran is also continue building BMs in its underground facilities. If any critical facility of supply chain is already hit/destroyed then its problem.
 
I think the correct reaction would have been to pound israel again and hit a few super tankers in the persian gulf to send a message, hitting few empty bases in gulf countries is not having any impact anymore, this is probably what trump and natanyahu want, a full blown war between between gcc and iran, iranians are handing it to them on a silver platter.

Iran targets American bases in Jordan and the Gulf after fresh US strikes near Hormuz​

Reuters AFP
June 10, 2026

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they had carried out attacks against a US base in Jordan and 21 other targets in the Gulf on Wednesday in retaliation for American strikes around the Strait of Hormuz.

The clashes mark one of the biggest exchanges in hostilities since the two countries agreed to a ceasefire in April.

The Iranian strikes, which included attacks in ‌Kuwait and Bahrain, came after the US military said on X it had targeted Iranian air defence, ground control stations and surveillance radar sites near the strait in response to what US President Donald Trump said was the downing of a US Apache helicopter on Tuesday.

The escalation in violence deepens doubts about the prospects for a deal to end the war that started on February 28 with joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran. Tehran responded by firing on US bases and assets in Gulf countries and all but choked off the Strait of Hormuz, a vital conduit for oil and gas.

The fresh Iranian strikes came after the United States carried out its own attacks on the Islamic Republic in response to Tehran shooting down an American helicopter.

The latest US strikes lasted around four hours before the US Central Command posted just before 9pm ET (0100 GMT on Wednesday) that they had ended. A US official said almost 20 Iranian targets had been struck.

Iran’s state media reported that ⁠Qeshm island and the port city of Sirik in the Strait of Hormuz were attacked.
 
Jordan’s military said it shot down five missiles from Iran, with no casualties or material damage.

The hostilities extended to other countries in the Middle East, with air raid sirens sounding in Bahrain after the Guards said they had struck another US base there.

The Kuwaiti army said its air defence systems were engaging hostile aerial targets and urged the public to follow official safety instructions, after Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they had targeted the Ali Al-Salem base in Kuwait with drones.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said earlier they attacked the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain with drones and threatened “more severe responses” if hostilities continued, according to media.

Bahrain’s Interior Ministry said a warning siren had been sounded and urged the public to head to safety. Air defences had repelled Iranian attacks, a media adviser to Bahrain’s king said soon after.
