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

[Persian Gulf]

I am starting to believe the Shah was doing this, and was slowly starting to turn against Israel. Some in Washington and Tel Aviv were probably breathing a sigh of relief when he was deposed.

he openly said Jews control the West via control of media and banking.

they should only reveal missiles long after they are deployed and mass produced

Nasirzadeh also says Iran has developed new missiles with advanced warheads tested in the last year but these also were not used in the 12 day war

Nasirzadeh also said

- during the war we continued to produce weapons 24/7 (indicating missile production sites not harmed)

- we have taken steps to protect / hide our missile production facilities

- we have created weapons production sites in other countries and we might reveal them next month (September 2025)

- Khorramshahr and Qasem Basir missiles were not used in the 12 day war, and Iran has tested other new missiles in the last year that were not used (I interpret this as referring to Fattah-2 since he emphasised manoeuvrability of warheads)

- space launches planned for coming months

Larijani embraces realism:

In recent days, I was speaking with one of the world leaders who is also a member of the Security Council. I said to him: Why did you establish these international laws? When we are attacked and you, as Security Council members, do nothing, what is the purpose of these international laws? He said to me: These laws are nonsense, because the international arena is about power!

This is the reality; if you do not preserve the elements of your strength, you will receive blows. This is unfortunate, but the international arena is like this, resembling a jungle, yet this is an existing reality.

Whether you accept this reality or not, if you do not accept it, you will receive greater blows. Therefore, you must strengthen the elements of your power.

Domestically, your people are the foundation; you must preserve your people, maintain their cohesion, meet their needs, and be close to them, not address them in a commanding manner, but rather understand their feelings.

At the regional level, you also have capabilities; use them to be united in the region. The belief that Hezbollah or the resistance forces are a burden on us is a strategic error. In my opinion, they need our assistance, and we too must benefit from their assistance; because creating isolation does not serve Iranian national security.

I don't think Araghchi said this? First part is true, but not the second.

not just at Fordow though, it was also produced in Natanz and apparently much of it was stored in tunnels in Esfahan, which has the best chance of recovery

Before the war, 60% enrichment was done at Fordow.
Anyway, I think the headline is that Iran cannot access the enriched uranium. So, we're in a tough spot.

Iran enriched uranium to 60% at Natanz too

Iran starts enriching uranium at 60%, its highest level ever

Announcement is likely to raise tensions as Iran negotiates with world powers to revive the 2015 nuclear agreement.

Nasirzadeh also said

I hoped and "advised" for this during the 12 day war. I hope we set up production facilities around Iran in multiple countries, especially for drones, missiles and launchers.

notice how the Europeans no longer accept uranium enrichment in Iran

and now they also call for missile restrictions

both things contradict their position during JCPOA

this is what happens after a military defeat. they sense weakness and Iran has lost what little leverage it had, either unilaterally sacrificed by Khamenei or destroyed by Israel/US on or under the ground.

Well if they see such weak response from Iran, they will demand more and more, encouraged by defeatist messages from inside. It's not related to our (military) potential and response during the 12 days war, but related to our foreign and internal policy, which shows weakness, fear and passiveness. This encourages our enemies to increase pressure.

Our response was weak. They destroyed our nuclear sites without a nosebleed, and I mean that literally.

As Clausewitz says: The fate of a nation is often decided on the battlefield, but it is confirmed at the negotiating table.
Now it is confirmed that Iran lost the 12-day battle.

You are making your devious motives too obvious on this forum.

Glory to the ISLAMIC Republic.

Do you think we won the 12-day battle?
Is that why we're negotiating with the Europeans over zero enrichment?

Also, did the US lose even a single soldier after bombing our nuclear facilities? Even a minor injury?
