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

[Pakistan Space Agency]

And here is the problem... Iran has its coast replete just for this scenario. There is a reason why they can effectively shutdown the straights. Besides that fuel is no longer headed west... it goes to China. Another way to get China involved for its energy security.

Chinese are not desperate for Iranian oil, they get more from Russia. Imports from Iran had already shrunk considerably by April 2025.

On top of that closing of the straight does not mean Iran will stop selling or delivering oil to China but prevent oil from other regional countries from delivering their oil to other countries such as South Korea, Japan, India, etc.

Evacuation flight out of New York on final approach to Tel Aviv

Before this attack, Iran touted itself as heavily defended with AD systems. I have seen Iranian members saying in the forum they prepared for a war with the US and lot of USAF assets will be shot down or even be able to get into Iranian airspace. Now Israeli drones are roaming freely. Either IRGC lied all this time or completely overestimated their capability.

They lied and they believed their own lies ...

Why did Iran did not develop its Air Force?

few possibilities
1) lack of vision and incompetence from iranian air force,
2) priority and money only available for ballistic weapons program
3) Tech not available to them or not offered by Russia and China…
4) Indigenous efforts, which failed when they built Sageh light weight fighter aircraft, took them 20 years.. Joint program wouldve been better like JF17

i will believe the first two to be the case.. mediocracy and lack of vision and priority for ballistic missile program.

thoughts?

Beware of potential false flags

And you have new Field Marshall in 24h...

With the exception of the 10 marshals at the founding of the country, we will not be awarding the rank of marshal. Our highest rank is general. According to the military establishment, we should have 32 general.

there is nothing in it for Pakistan. simple as that.

I will counter argue that there’s so much for pakistan in it otherwise Israel and India will combine the air forces in attack pakistan if they did not tackle Israeli right now

bushehr - but they will never hit it. Russians work there.

The odd missile could go astray. Not impossible. On the other hand you have a nation that actually targets hospitals and feeding booths for the starving.

If recent barrage of Iranian missiles, rockets, drones etc had actually managed to hit civilian population centers of Israel (in the absence of any defense system like Iron Dome, Arrow etc) that place would now look worse than Gaza. I absolutely not defend Israel when it hit civilians (intentionally or otherwise), same goes for Iran or any other country on the planet.

And the best thing the Muslim world can do is the same thing they did against the crusaders harass them, harass them, harass them until we can remove or destroy them…

Good luck, meanwhile they destroy one Muslim country to another; piece by piece to protect their own interests in the region.

China's NDRC has a clear rule that China cannot import more than 20% of China's total oil imports from any country. China has already reached its limit of oil imports from Russia and will not increase the quantity of imports.

Take whatever he says with a spoon of salt - he scans through 10/15 tweets before embelishing things - will Iranian [allies/proxies] be active right now in M.E = yes, does anyone know exactly where they will strike = no. Even the US don't know that is why they have been evacuating embassies left right and centre.

Read this:
US Embassy in Manama: We have temporarily moved some of our staff to work remotely locally due to escalating regional tensions.

seems i chose the wrong profession really!

 

[Mighty_Dragon_Strike]

Wow, incredible support... So Russia confirmed that they will not attack or assassinate Iranians...this is real friend, or even brotherly statement from Russians...

no, it means, no support for IR also!

Frankly i dont care. They hit Israel and thats fine with me. Genocide and ethnic cleansing comes to mind and you maybe showing brotherly loving concern for Israeli - i dont anymore. Killing raping kids has changed as a humanitarian. Israel has brought this upon itself.
