Where did all those delusional “Iran is so powerful Israel and America don’t dare touch iran” idiots run off too? Where did those Iran cheerleaders go? Funny how those that were accusing everyone of being secret Zionist spies are the first to disappear back to their European capitals.
since 2020 Iran has been systemically weakened and the deterrence it built 20 years ago has vanished. All for a nuclear program that gave it nothing in the end but cost trillions of dollars in lost income, opportunity, and brain drain.
Iran’s entire deterrence paradigm was built with Solemani as the puppet master and his death along with tens (if not hundreds) of his fellow generals/officers/associates lead to the collapse of IRGC in terms of capability.
I now firmly believe that Teherani Moghdams death in 2010 was not an accident but likely an Israeli internal strike team that used drone or spike missile to attack the missile storage facility and ignite a chain reaction (or maybe they had an inside man that planted explosives like in the Haniyeh IRGC compound assassination).
There were many signs that Iran had been completely infiltrated from Fakhrizadeh assassination to Haniyeh to other mysterious events to Raisi and Nasrallah.
October 2023 was Iran’s chance to fight a war for existential survival. Instead they elected Pezeshkian and watched as everyone besides the Houthi’s were destroyed.
Many on here still talk about resistance and are borderline delusional.
You don’t have an airforce, you don’t have a nuclear program, you don’t have an air defense network, you may not have many missiles left or TELs to operate them, you have an ongoing water crisis, and your economy is on life support. Russia and China have no interest in bailing you out because they always thought you would one day head back into Western orbit anyway.
Yet you think you can win? The enemy will continue to choke you off.
This little game you played for 25 years needs to conclude one way or another.
I am not cheering on the IR. They spent 30 years building militias as a forward defense against Israel, and what happened? Where did they go other than the Houtis? At this point, with the forward defense gone, they have to declare Iran as a nuclear-weapon state; otherwise, the wars will continue. Does anyone know what happened to 600+ kilos of 60% enriched uranium? ( Bibi says they were all destroyed) Some here want to believe that there are no undeclared nuclear sites.
I am pointing to the fact that even though Israel was successful during the first two days, they were not able to disrupt command and control. After the first twelve hours, new blood replaced the dead, and the war started.
I am pointing to the fact that Israel's only opportunity to drag the US into a war with Iran is closing fast. It was the Americans who bombed Natanz and Fordow, not Israel. Even with all of the shortcomings and BS propaganda that we have been hearing, IR gave a decisive response. Some in this forum believe, or at least are trying hard to play the narrative that the only strikes are the cell phone images and videos uploaded. If all of the other missiles fell in open spaces as claimed, then why is there heavy sensorship? Some in this forum worship and claim the only narrative is the Israeli side with all of their shills on X.
I am pointing out the counter-narrative to this war. The regime is highly unpopular. This war is the only chance it has to start fundamental reforms and address the grievances of Iranians, or it will be done and over with sooner than they think. We did not need all of the useless chants and saber-rattling over the last four decades. We did not need to take on the world Jewry, although in reality, this genocidal regime has only one doctrine. Destroy your neighbors and have the American empire fight your wars. I am not sure how the mullahs could have appeased them; indeed, chanting death to them did not help.
Iran has no air force, but what were the options? Some say that the Chinese were willing to sell us up to 200 J10s in 2016, and Rouhani declined in favor of French aircraft. What an idiot. If the story is true, the Chinese are the only side willing to sell Iran aircraft, and they would have doubled down with all of the saber-rattling of Trump 1.0
Look at the bright side. At least we will not hear about Saegheh 4 or 5 anymore. The cat is out of the bag. Hopefully, they learned that propaganda will lead to a quick demise.
