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

I hope we have hundreds of missiles and drones “locked and loaded” to immediately fire against all regional energy infrastructure (especially refineries and power plants).

Best you are going to get is some Rezai ominous red lines. Pezeshkian claiming iran is going to collapse in round 3. And Argachi saying Iran wants a deal.

You point is like a broken pencil.



Eh! You concocted this nonsense logic by yourself. It’s not Iranian policy.

In fact Iran is part of Chinese BRICS order.

Iran has no issue dealing with countries that are part of the judeo Christian order.

However, it does have a problem with countries that actively war monger for it.
You contradicted yourself in this post and a previous post where you said Iran keeps Pakistan at an arm’s length, and that they are incompatible bedfellows; and then you said Iran has no issue dealing with countries part of the judeo Christian order (Pakistan and China are part of this).

It’s not a contradiction if you are implying that Iran deals with incompatible bedfellow countries. But how is this “dealing” helping Iran in this war, if these incompatible bedfellow countries are not supporting Iran in any way in this conflict?

Iran is too isolated in this conflict.

Can you point to me who compatible bedfellows for Iran are, besides non-state Shia actors?
 

If Iran is :

1. Certain US (and mostl likely Israel) will attack it
2. Is currently in a state of war with US and Israel
3. Has stated that it's military doctrine has changed to an offensive approach, if necessary, THEN....

It's hard argue that Iran attacking US first (or before Iran thinks US will attack)isn't the smart or right thing for Iran currently, aka after the mid terms elections.

I remember we all had passionate debates on PDF about Iran insisting or not insisting offensive strikes on US military assets before the feb 2026 US - Israeli attack on Iran ,and the consensus seemed to be that it was better for Iran to not go on the offensive but If I was Iran, I don't think playing defensive this time around is the more effective/ wiser military move , or is Iran's military bluffing about "going on the offensive if necessary"?

You are making stuff up again or having a compression problem.

I explained, Iran has preferred closer relationship with India over Pakistan because India has a degree of geopolitical autonomy that Pakistan does not. E.g. India bought Iranian and Russian oil and invested in Iran.

Both are part of the Judeo Christian world order. So, again it proves my point about Iran not having a problem dealing with it.

However, it does have a problem with the ones that warmonger for the Judeo Christians.

Try to understand the clear distinction between the two!

Because that is Iran’s red line.

Escalation does not serve Iran because it doesn’t have the military spending to win a military war.

Iran’s strategy is asymmetric warfare. Which takes time to hurt.

Iran has managed to increase crude prices by 70%.

It cannot go any further without hurting its own shadow trades.

Iran’s strategy is timing Trump out.

If Iran can survive the next 3-4 months - Iran will achieve its objectives by default.

If your objective is to survive the next 3-4 months - escalation is not the right strategy.

Iran will not escalate unless it has no choice.
 

How predictable. The MOAB drop on an Afghan cave in 2017 , which didn't make any difference was what I thought Trump would repeat in Iran, then declare victory and leave the mess for others to clean up. Nixon did the same at the end of Vietnam.

 
As China deals with the US Judeo Christian World Order and the global economy, even China could be classified by Iran as opposition.
Iran also wants to engage with the West. That was the fundamental rationale behind the JCPOA—and the reason for the constant lamentations of the reformists.

Iran also sought to maintain good relations with Pakistan while conducting business with India. Whether that is actually feasible is another matter.

But you cannot ask China to do something that Iran itself avoided (disengagement from the West).
