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

[Flotilla]

Convince me why the USAF needs to be based in the PG countries.

The Air Force is flying missions all the way from CONUS and back. The Navy and Marines can operate from well outside the range of Iranian missiles.

With the tanker assets held, tactical strike packages can fly in from anywhere as has been demonstrated over and over again. The result of this has allowed assets flying from Europe to strike targets all over Iran up to and including the Pakistan border.

I seem to recall the strikes of June 2025 had significant negative impact on Iran's nuclear program. Not the other way around.

The question is not if USAF can operate outside of the PG. We all know they can (with issues, like 3 squak KC135/KC46 launched in few weeks after the war because long endurance flights problems in a ageing fleet like those KC135 at least).

The question is; USAF and US Navy operated well inside Persian Gulf before the war, and now they can´t. And even beyond. The Point 4 of the MOU says explicitly

"United States of America further undertakes to remove its forces from the proximity of the Islamic Republic of Iran within 30 days after the final deal."

And the Point 9 says also very clearly "The Islamic Republic of Iran will maintain the current status quo of its nuclear program, and the United States of America will not impose any new sanctions and will not deploy additional forces in the region."

The deal has 14 points and includes a commitment from both sides to hold further talks on a final agreement in the next 60 days.

So. Status quo ante bello will never return.
Whatever forces deployed, must be agreed with... Irán.

That is not a slap in the face of the Islamic Republic. It is a slap to the US White House and... Pentagon.

Good. I wonder why Iran invited Modi at first place ??

Did Iranians forgot that one night earlier of the attack, Modi was in Israel, holding hands with Israeli leaders and saying loud and clear that "India is fully and completely standing with Israel". I thought Modi was hopeful that Iran would lose and Israel would establish its hegemony all over the Middle east.

I thought everyone here was in agreement it was Netanyahu.

Are you playing dumb about the relationship between Netanyahu and the Kushner family?

Azzhooles in Tel Aviv and elsewhere are truly fearful if this materializes.

Sadly Muslim world is always reactive/on defensive mode. Bad policy with horrible consequences.

Take an initiative at least for once.

Carrots are being dangled to Turks as of now and Rawalpindi is being continuously praised by Washington in an uncanny manner - Only to stop them from formalising this alliance.

We'll discuss this here and related tidbits

I believe Iranians wanted to have a talk with Modi… 1 on 1, regarding future of relationship between the two countries. At the same time Iran wants to sell oil to India

I guess aviation fuel grows on trees!

This R4 thing is a good development. Should be pushed further.

Bibi and Jared talk almost everyday. The guy is the most obvious Mossad agent in the history of Mossad agents.

I feel like Zionists might have set something in motion that's much bigger and much worse for them than they realise. We'll find out..

4 months on, a prescient comment.

I was hoping and even praying Modi wouldn't go to the funeral: For far too long, Indians have gotten away with their hypocritical policies in Middle East and the Islamic World in general. Modi is removing that mask. Good. Especially good for Pakistan!

Unbelievable insult to Iran to send such low level Indian officials and that too one apparently a Muslim and one a Christian? Would sending a Hindu to be much for the RSS?
