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

Iran has to fire 30+ missiles, including some of their hypersonic missiles to each Israeli nuclear site. with 30 missiles, 10 will hit and hopefully most of the hypersonic ones. Tit for tat response will be good. Hitting Israeli sites are akin to US sites.
 
Doesn't make a difference
It does for me and many more, even if it's for optics. Rule based order is a farce, it's a tool to keep poor global south countries in check, it does not apply to the west. - and no one can realistically challenge US and Western hegemony, except for maybe China; but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t criticize diabolical actions, especially when the only tool you have is your speech.
 
Let this be clear- Iran's foreign policy is highly arrogant and based on the notion that it can never be a lesser partner. It also is fanatical and tries to push its religious influence. When Rouhani came to India, he went to give a seminary in Hyderabad mosque! This is unbecoming for a presidential visit. Visiting a mosque is okay but giving an entire religious speech is inappropriate. Iran also makes tough deals with China & Russia which has practically alienated them. This is why Russia didn't bother to defend Syria but just withdrew, for example.

Iran has no allies because it doesn't want any allies
Iran does seem to be living in another world. On the one hand, the Ayatollah said Iran would not make a nuclear bomb and on the other refused to give up enriched uranium. For all his faults, President Trump did not want to go to war but was left with no good options by Bibi. If Iran had been a little more sensible and made a deal, all this could have been avoided. At least on that, President Trump is right.
 
Irans missile force is very good, and would’ve been sufficient for the PG area and Israel but they lacked the most important deterrent which was a nuclear arsenal.

Iran's entire doctrine was sound and built upon the proxies next to Israel and the ballistic missiles. Nukes have been out of question without the kind of effort Pakistan did, with a nod of approval from the big powers, for at least 15 years.
 
Genuine question, what kind of aircraft were available for Iran to purchase while having an arms embargo? What kind of jets could they realistically have bought which could’ve withstood against the combined might of US and Israel without getting wiped out? I think a strong airforce would’ve helped initially, but the end result would’ve been the same. Remember Irans AD was sabotaged before any airstrikes by collaborators and infiltrators.

They had plenty of time before the sanctions to do something but were busy meddling in other countries affairs.
