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

[Aggregate]

Or It could be him !

That would explain a lot of GCC countries' policies, too.

 

[brazensword]

Bernie will be taken out by AIPAC.

 

[Raj-Hindustani]

Iran condemned Pehalgam attack, India didn't even do lip service against Israeli attacks.

India has done the same before for iran if any any terror attack happened in iran.

India and iran relationship is non- military, both will maintain that stragic relationship even after this war because it's useful for the both.

India does not have any regime related challenges, any regime in iran will have similar relationship with india. It does not affect indian interests.

Regime changes only affects to Russia and China - thats a reality!

Trump became Trump on shoulders of Russian Mob that came from Long beach when Rudy G as mayor crakced hard on Italian mob. They are everywhere in his circle.

Trump used them to rise to power. He is not stupid by any means.

He allied himself with Russia to contain his handlers from the US for inner strategy, and to contain China for outer strategy.

But I don't think it works well for him until now.

Trump's strike was cosmetic and seem pre-planned with Tehran. No ground penetration, no radiation, no deaths? He kinda checked out US from the conflict by pulling a mutually agreed stunt and with that Israel is now alone at the mercy of IRGCAF.

Its good IRGC is showing that Iran is ZERO % deterred and is pounding Israel.

Trump threatened to attack again if Iran doesn’t accept peace

 

[OldTwilight]

how its possible, more than 1 reactors get blown and no radiation ever comes out??!!!

has to be first in the history!

our only active reactors are in Tehran and Bushehr ...

 

[lonelycaptain]

Well, talking about underground and tunnels.
Back in VietNam war, we Vietnamese dig a huge tunnel system North of SaiGon, Cu Chi Tunnels. Back then we did it with hand-held tools.
The tunnels system becomes extremly big that some exits lead to the river. Despite huge effort of the US at that time and the fact that it locate 20 km from the capitol of SaiGon government, nothing could stop the tunnels
Iran may have dig and continue digging a massive network of tunnels by now
Bombing will achieve nothing

 

[brazensword]

52nd state.

Canada is the 51st.

53rd, the one just that nominated Donald for the nobel prize.

Jokes on Field Marshal though, Trump did him dirty .

 

[ToddE]

Guys I will do a detailed "My Takes" later.

Things are not the way they seem. I am seeing Russia, China, US all getting involved and none are against IRI here. Guess who is getting their rear bottom slapped in this conflict.

 

[Developereo]

For now yes but Shah was same.

Honestly, the only big Arab country with any potential and a culture of education and hard work is Egypt. All the rich GCC countries are a basket case of corruption and entitlement. The others are torn apart from decades of war.

Sadly, Saudi Arabia and US keep installing military dictators in Egypt to make sure the Egyptian people remain like Pharoah's slaves and don't rise up and claim their place in the world.

 

[ToddE]

Trump threatened to attack again if Iran doesn’t accept peace

peace against US or Israel ?

 

[Wingzero30]

The guy looks like MBS wearing a Hasidic Jew-Hat, running around in Tel Aviv.

Lol that was also the first thing I noticed

Israel’s war on Iran is not about nuclear weapons

Israel’s war on Iran is not about nuclear weapons​

The claim that has been adopted by the United States, Israel and its European partners, that the attack on Iran was a “pre-emptive” attempt to stop Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons, is demonstrably false. It holds about as much weight as the allegations against Iraq’s Saddam Hussein in 2003 and this war of aggression is just as illegal.

For the best part of four decades, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been claiming that Iran is on the verge of acquiring a nuclear weapon. Yet, every single attempt to strike a deal which would bring more monitoring and restrictions to Iran’s nuclear program has been systematically dismantled by Israel and its powerful lobbying groups in Western capitals.

In order to properly assess Israel’s attack on Iran, we have to establish the facts in this case. The Israeli leadership claim to have launched a pre-emptive strike, but have presented no evidence to support their allegations that Iran was on the verge of acquiring a nuclear weapon. Simply stating this does not serve as proof, it is a claim, similar to how the US told the world Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction.

Back in March, the US Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard testified before a Senate Intelligence Committee that the intelligence community “continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003.”

On top of this, Iran was actively participating in indirect negotiations with the US to reach a new version of the 2015 Nuclear Deal. Donald Trump announced Washington would unilaterally withdraw from the agreement in 2018, instead pursuing a “maximum pressure” sanctions campaign at the behest of Israel.

Trump says ‘chill,’ Bibi goes full thrill. So, who’s in charge of the Middle East?
Despite the claims of Netanyahu and Trump that Iran was violating the Nuclear Deal, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) released a report which stated Iran was in full compliance with the deal at the time.

If you trace back every conversation with neo-conservatives, Israeli war hawks and Washington-based think tanks, their opposition to the Obama-era Nuclear Deal always ends up spiraling into the issues of Iran’s ballistic missile program and its support for regional non-State actors.

Israeli officials frequently make claims about Iran producing a nuclear weapon in “years”, “months” or even “weeks,” this has become almost second nature. Yet their main issue has always been with Iran’s support for groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, who strive for the creation of a Palestinian State.

Proof of this all is simple. Israel, by itself, cannot destroy Iran’s vast nuclear program. It is not clear the US can destroy it either, even if it enters the war. An example of the US’ ineffectiveness at penetrating Iranian-style bunkers, built into mountainous ranges, as many of Iran’s nuclear facilities are, was demonstrated through the American failure to destroy missile storage bases in Yemen with its bunker-buster munitions, which were dropped from B-2 bombers.

Almost immediately after launching his war on Iran, Netanyahu sent out a message in English to the Iranian people, urging them to overthrow their government in an attempt to trigger civil unrest. The Israeli prime minister has since all but announced that regime change is his true intention, claiming that the operation “may lead” to regime change.

Israel’s own intelligence community and military elites have also expressed their view that their air force alone is not capable of destroying the Iranian nuclear program. So why then launch this war, if it is not possible to achieve the supposed reason it was “pre-emptively” launched?

MAGA’s Civil War: Who dares to take on the Israel lobby?
There are two possible explanations:

The first is that the Israeli prime minister has launched this assault on Iran as a final showdown in his “seven front war,” with which he hopes to conclude the regional conflict through a deadly exchange that will ultimately inflict damage on both sides.

In this scenario, the desired outcome would be to conclude the war with the claim that Netanyahu has succeeded at destroying or has significantly degraded Iran’s nuclear program. He would also throw in claims, like we already see him making, that huge amounts of Iranian missiles and drones were eliminated. This would also make the opening Israeli strike, which killed senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commanders and nuclear scientists, make sense. It would all be the perfect blend of propaganda to sell a victory narrative.

On the other hand, the assumption would be that Tehran would also claim victory. Then both sides are able to show the results to their people and tensions cool down for a while. If you are to read what the Washington-based think-tanks are saying about this, most notably The Heritage Foundation, they speak about the ability to contain the war.

The second explanation, which could be an added bonus that the Israelis and US are hoping could come as a result of their efforts, is that this is a full-scale regime change war that is designed to rope in the US.

Israel’s military prestige was greatly damaged in the Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023, and since that time there has been no victory achieved over any enemy. Hamas is still operating in Gaza and is said to have just as many fighters as when the war began, Hezbollah was dealt significant blows but is still very much alive, while Yemen’s Ansarallah has only increased its strength. This is an all round stunning defeat of the Israeli military and an embarrassment to the US.

The end of Israeli exceptionalism
As is well known, Iran is the regional power that backs all of what is called the Axis of Resistance. Without it, groups like Hezbollah and Hamas would be significantly degraded. Evidently, armed resistance to Israeli occupation will never end as long as occupied people exist and live under oppressive rule, but destroying Iran would be devastating for the regional alliance against Israel.

The big question however, is whether regime change is even possible. There is a serious question mark here and it seems much more likely that this will end up on a slippery slope to nuclear war instead.

What makes the Israeli-US claim that this war is somehow pre-emptive, for which there is no proof at all, all the more ridiculous of a notion, is that if anything, Iran may now actually rush to acquire a nuclear weapon for defensive purposes. If they can’t even trust the Israelis not to bomb them with US backing, while negotiations were supposed to be happening, then how can a deal ever be negotiated?

Even in the event that the US joins and deals a major blow to the Iranian nuclear program, it doesn’t mean that Iran will simply abandon the program altogether. Instead, Tehran could simply end up rebuilding and acquiring the bomb years later. Another outcome of this war could end up being Israeli regime change, which also appears as if it could now be on the table.
