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

[Falcon29]

More like a combined effort by Israel, US, Jordan, Iraq, etc....

What do they use to intercept drones? Can those be depleted over time?

But USAF said during Gulf War 1991 they had a hard time locating Iraqi SCUD launchers. How can IDF planes fly just in time to destroy Iranian TELs about to launch missiles when their air bases are 1,300 kms away?

HMINT and SAT intelligence
IRI lack ASAT missiles though we ourselves lack them
They came in play when you are planning to degrade your opponet surveilance capabilities

Probably trying to preserve our remaining AD in case of war with USA , which is stupid decision in first place ....
They are so obsessed with USA ...

There aren’t enough ADs in the world to stop the US. It would be better to regain control over the airspace ASAP, rebuild all launchers and regain full offensive capability. If they want to deter the US, being a real threat to Israel works way better than trying to scare USAF with some ADs

Well If the US gets involved and this whole thing goes nuclear, then what would stop NorthKorea, China or Russia .....and even India/Pakistan from using nukes then?
Are we actively looking at the Armagaeddon where 99% of us will be gone?
Are we that close already?

I try to remain optimistic. Still, the pessimist in me says otherwise. And, why I keep saying that once we go down that slippery slope, all bets are off.

I can already see the little fat guy with the bad haircut and his crazy-eyed sister thinking about this.

Senior Iranian official to Al Jazeera:

Dimona nuclear reactor could be a legitimate target if the war escalates

How much more can it escalate FFS.. all of your nuc facilities have been destroyed.. your chance is now.. when the US starts you won’t have a chance …

What the F is it with this ‘Restraint’ word that they love so much…

Yes, Iran could have made better investments.

Perhaps they underestimated the Israelis?

The problem is highest level of infiltration up to highest level which compromised everything ... All of plans and tactics , the position of AD and our BM launchers were probably fell ot our enemy hand ...

IRGC leaders were more busy with CULTURAL and CEREMONIAL activities and big interview rather than military activity ...


All blame goes to Khamenei which lets guys under his direct control act so recklessly ...

Depending on the drone type, just about anything can be used. Shotguns, Oerlikens, helicopters.

Can they be depleted over time? Yes, it's simple math. Launch rate, on-hand and ready for deployment plus replenishment rate vs. interception rate.

What evidence do you have that damage to Israel has been minimal?

I think he means strategically speaking. In a way he is right if that is what he means as far as taking out IDF bases and naval ports that we haven't seen much if any. Now Tel A Veev itself the damage is not minimal whole blocks have been destroyed and lets say he's not far off the percentage rate of interceptions since the beginning of conflict (i'll guess 75-80%) 70-90 missiles getting through especially with their accuracy and warhead yield is devastating for a city.

The problem is the US doesn't want to use its military power to reign in the Aggressor who started this - Israel.

If the US wants, they can force Israel to stand down and accept a ceasefire, but since nobody cares about the lives of civilians they're continuing to keep this rate of escalation to a Nuclear Armageddon in this free-fall journey.

Are you talking about Iran? Or the US?

I swear sometimes we openly aide those who want to destroy us.

Wait.....we do.

 

[Aziqbal]

The situation has deteriorated

US embassy staff has been evacuated from Tel Aviv

And 6 x B2 Bombers are in the air

US wants to destroy both Iran and Yemen capabilities

To the extent they can’t even retaliate

This attack can happen tonight

China won't confirm this openly but it will be in the Russian and Chinese interest not to allow a major Global South country like beautiful Iran (which has recently joined SCO (2023) and BRICS (2024), to fall victim to West's racist policy of "regime change" simply because West also considers Russian and Chinese Governments as "regimes" as well.

Some people are likely mistaken about China . The problem is that people, seem to ignore the plan of the western countries is to take down China as well. Therefore it is in the interest of Beijing to make sure both Russia and Iran are not going under. For china both Russia and Iran are important partners. Beijing will want to make sure both countries not only survive, but strong and vibrant.

Interesting ...

So, those handheld anti-drone guns aren't science fiction like I thought ....
