Iranian Foreign & Resistance Front Strategy & Operations

[KHORSHIDSIYAH1488]

I was not talking about your post

I think you know your main propensity to get into trouble ... I hope you post with that in mind so we don't have to lose you

I don't want to lose you guys either.

I just wish you all can respect that I have unabashed far-right leanings and will not apologize for this. I'll be more polite in my speech of course, but I hope the very presence of an ultranationalist won't conjure immature behavior.

why does Azerbaijan need to join these accords? it already recognises Israel

Excuse for US to allow direct military exports, was previously stopped by Armenian lobby in US.

they already get direct military exports from Israel, doesn't really change much in my opinion

they are the UAE of the Shia world

"Israel" only exports relatively light equipment. Only aircraft they've exported is ancient Kfir to some South American countries, no tanks. US could give Abrams, F-16/15, maybe even F-35 if Erdoğan makes some concessions.

counterpoint: IRGC is far more ideologically driven than Artesh and will not quickly fold. a significant portion of the 1-10 million army of Basijis can also be counted on to fight to the end.

even monarchists do not support separatism. their psychotic supporters often fight with separatists in the west.

Turkish-Kurdish combined offensive on Iran is pretty funny idea

Why is it a funny idea? If the Jews can forgive the Nazis and unite with the far right to destroy the Muslims, why can't the Kurds and Azeris work together to take chunks of Iran? They have every incentive to do so now that Turkey has made peace with its Kurdish resistance.

Azerbaijan is not a rich or big country. they have a very small GDP ($70B), they can't afford an air force of hundreds of F-16s and F-35s

There’s another perspective on the recent protests. The instigators were likely from within the regime itself. With growing pressure on the government, this could be a strategic move to fabricate a crisis among minority groups, suggesting that without central control, the country would fracture like Syria. I wouldn’t be too concerned about it.

They don't need hundreds, 40-50 F-16s or F-15Es would pose a serious threat to IRIAF. And I'm sure if "Israel" really wants them to have anything, the US would donate it without a second thought.

Nothing against Saeed's on Insta but I BS on this. Iran has refuted the claims plus it's highly implausible that USN would be so brazen in the Persian Gulf. Not happening is my conclusion.
I'm though surprised that an Iraqi minister would come out on state TV and say such things.

Despite the existence PMU, Iraq remains a US occupied hostile state. Is PMU willing to go against the Iraqi state for Iranian interests? It's doubtful.

Has Iraq resumed payments for electricity imports from Iran? If not then they should be cut off.

I don't believe they have, US did not issue a waiver for the payments

I know. I went as far as quoting the Reuters article. Reuters is not exactly a paragon of truth!

Is there any article/analysis about how Iran can defend against ground/diving special forces/commando near Iranian coasts/inside Iran that would try to sabotage AD sites or simply plant bombs on high value assets or even seize Iranian land/islands to forment chaos? What would make the difference in intercepting them and stopping the commando mission?

The US special forces should not be underestimated, the last time they tried a commando mission, the weather killed them all, but what would have happened if there wasn't that sandstorm?
