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

[Flotilla]

To me, this "restraint" is why the war is still going on, because the cost to Trump has been low in the areas that are significant to him ie visible material losses of planes, ships etc. The US has the complete freedom to chose a military action at a time and place of its choosing, to perform what ever military action it wants, with no military cost to it from any action it decides to do. This latest round, has been at zero military cost to the USA other than interceptor missile costs.

If you recall all US targets in Irán last months they have been restricted to just South coast of the country.

That is the reason why Irán is not hitting the US Navy ships or bases daily as before.

They just interchange límited strikes and try to avoid casualties.

We will see later results of the Iranian strikes. Seems that at least one missile scaped and hit Jordania.

Just look at how Pakistan handles India. Pakistan hits hard, and is also prepared to cause mass causalities in any exchange with India as it did in Sindoor where it killed many dozens of India

Pakistan has a peer Air force and have nuclear weapons. That gives Pakistán freedom of action that Irán cannot afford right now.

That is the reason why Islamic Republic must build nuclear deterrence to have same freedom of action.

Also a credible Air force would give enough confidence to Irán to escalate confortable, but just up to now, IRIAF cannot operate effectively even in SoH.

I guess, I don't see any need for any restriction on Iran's freedom of movement in conventional warfare against the USA. The USA is not going to nuke Iran because it hits a USN ship, or aircraft carrier. That is not just cause enough for a nuclear dimension.

Even when the missiles were "new" to the USN via their operations in Yemen, the missiles could not actually hit a USN ship. They caused secondary damage of Hornets falling off carriers for sure, and also blue on blue confusion but that was it. If the missiles were technically capable, then at a minimum some should have been able to get through then?

Like I said they have experience with those missiles and USN had a few extremely close calls with an adversary who was using less inferior models or copies being made in house so USN figured out they couldn’t operate within a couple hundred miles off Yemen controlled Houthi lands imagine if the American navy was only 100 miles or less attempting to fight off multiple waves not saying it would be a bloodbath but Iran would have connected by now Iran has shown they can hit targets with precision but a moving ship 300 to 500 miles away is totally different

He is pissed off at weeks of aligned media/jawboning efforts to lower oil prices going to waste. The high energy prices and related inflation are the biggest political problem for him.

Iran is back in a hot war which is advantageous than the cold siege war. IRGC now has the excuse it needs to resume military operations without being the aggressor or labeled irrational.

The question is will they seize this opportunity or let the U.S. dictate the escalation ladder and return back to a Cold War seige?

I read that Pezeshkian (or shall we call him Pezeshkiyev, like his comrade/brother Aliyev?) still wants to negotiate, after martyrdom of 2 Iranian soldiers yesterday and all the threats made by the corrupt deranged orange pedophile.

When he was talking about intercepting 'All' missiles we could guess that most of our missiles got through , now he is talking about intercepting 'most' missiles

I don't understand this logic of "not wanting to escalate"? The USA has caused over $300 billion dollar of damage to Iran so far, so what is the line before Iran is prepared to impose a material cost ? I am struggling with the exchange ratio I guess and the logic of Iran in these military operations and the need for this "restraint". To me, this "restraint" is why the war is still going on, because the cost to Trump has been low in the areas that are significant to him ie visible material losses of planes, ships etc. The US has the complete freedom to chose a military action at a time and place of its choosing, to perform what ever military action it wants, with no military cost to it from any action it decides to do. This latest round, has been at zero military cost to the USA other than interceptor missile costs.

Just look at how Pakistan handles India. Pakistan hits hard, and is also prepared to cause mass causalities in any exchange with India as it did in Sindoor where it killed many dozens of India soldiers via SH-15 artillery strikes on bases and command centers. That is what cause India to back off, as Pakistan's response cost them.

It is almost as if Iran is allowing US to set the pace of conflict. This attack played into Iranian hands because it was done solely for political circus in zion and the criminal in chief there who is facing court there and internationally, if he loses. Those poll numbers depend on him painting this as a success.

Besides, orange really feels he has a longer clock and he can squeeze and starve Iranians into surrender. Or, pounce in for a win. We have to conmen-convicts running the two states both pushing wars as a distraction, and in case of Mileikowsky, deliver the moshiach. It has to be through the worst humanity has to deliver to summon the demon.

Iran has only one choice, systematically dismantle the presence of both in the region and forget that there will be peace.
