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

[shapurzolaktaf]

I don't disagree with that figure. Though, most estimates are between 8 billion to 12 billion USD, but 18 billion USD is not that far-fetched either. It's likely to be true.

But let's say it did cost them $1.5B per day. Do you think that prevents them from trying it again?
They have the US and the US has the Fed. The Fed prints USD like toilet paper and the inflation will be distributed among all the economies that depend on the USD, which is basically most of the countries in the world, particularly the largest economies.

The effects of $18B on the US or Israeli economy is not devastating enough to give us actual deterrence.

I think 2 factors added together will have a preventive effect:
1. Cost of the war (about 1.5 billions USD a day)
2. Not being able to produce, deliver enough interceptor missiles to the zionist regime (low stocks, low production rate).

Ofcourse we should not underestimate genocidal gamblers, they might attack anyday again, but they know it won't be easy and cheap.

Stop being purposefully obtuse. You are also a deceptive individual.

Can you provide a link?

Hello. It's a bit problematic at the moment, but I'm not saying no. We can use AI to find sources in a text or part of a text. Things that some people will have access to here should appear on X and Telegram in the coming days.

It's not too hidden, but you have to be in the right place at the right time. According to one source, the 12-Day War helped unblock a certain slowness and complication in the mass production of a new national radar for Iranian fighter jets; the news is expected to be announced in September. There are things that will be announced in the coming days.

This remains to be seen in practice, as the source indicates, but it seems that various production lines are becoming more active. That makes sense! I'll check for some sources, but I would really like some people to register on this forum; you'll appreciate their analyses and their extensive knowledge of military aviation. There's a lot missing here.

Oghab 44 Air Base and others have some surprises in store for us. Remember that Zionist regime pilots have seen planes disappear from the sky without a trace. This has been discussed elsewhere, like many other points. Iran cannot reveal everything tactically in 12 days when it is preparing for months of combat, particularly against a frontal attack by the US.

stay on topic and avoid personal insults

if you have a point to make, make it with evidence and reason. all viewpoints are welcome as long as you avoid low quality sources and avoid personal insults.

The US spent nearly 3 trillion dollars in the Iraq war alone. $1.5B per day is not going to stop them.

The True Cost of the Iraq War: $3 Trillion and Beyond

Writing in these pages in early 2008, we put the total cost to the United States of the Iraq war at $3 trillion. This price tag dwarfed previous estimates, including the Bush administration's 2003 projections of a $50 billion to $60 billion war. But today, as the United States ends combat in...

Interceptor missiles might be an issue initially, but the real question is: do they have an actual technical/industrial bottleneck for mass producing these missiles? Or did they just not produce enough because they weren't facing a credible threat and didn't need to produce more?

I mean war-time production numbers are not going to be the same as peace-time numbers for sure.

When you are planning for war, you shouldn't only factor in your own capabilities, but you should also factor in your opponent's capabilities as well.
People here always insisted that Iran was better prepared compared to 2003-2006, but they forgot to factor in that the US and Israel were getting stronger too. Back in 2003, the US and Israel would've never been able to decapitate the C&C of the IRGC in such a short span of time, if ever.

If he was world wise, and old...it would be ok, but he's not, and he is woefully out of touch. He didn't go to school studying policy and strategic management, so thats why the hierarchy of our government is so convulted....no one branch is in charge and yet everyone gets a vote on the policies.

IRI by design is ...

Corrupt (Almost all Mullah families are rich oligarchs, settled abroad)
Dysfunctional (Branches fight eachother, end up damaging progress, case of IRIAF)
Illogical (With an obsolete under financed military, they want to fight NATO, US, Israel)
Anti-Iranian (Khamenei said it himself, Iran does not matter. IRI is death of Iranian nationalism)

IRI suited USSR because so Shahi Iran does not compete with Russia as Iran always have in Central Asia, Caucasus, Caspian. Shahi Iran would have gone nuclear in mid-late 80s considering Iraqs program. It would have also asked for SSR Azerbaijans return to Iran after Soviet collapse. IRI resisted both such pro-Iran policies. IRI suited US and West because stupid Mullahs were at the helm of Islamic Crescent west desperately wanted to contain USSR. Their job is done so now we are seeing collapse of the system. Slow and painful one.

The true number of money spent in Iraq and Afghanistan is 11 trillion dollars. But to be honest, the real figure is probably a bit higher than that.....don't forget the implicit costs, that's the cost of the interest of borrowing that money up to now....because none of the costs of those wars were budgeted....all of it was new debt.

Then even worse. It just proves that $1.5B per day is really nothing for these people.

As long as the US has a money printing machine, they can launch wars at the expense of global economy without getting affected much.

Lol reminds me of good ties between USSR and Israel. Russians never learn.

 

[muhammed45]

New defense minister of Russia is a businessman having great ties with Jews. I once pointed to the fact that no major defense deal with Russians can be materialised. However, it was obvious that Russians never learn from history.

Jews will initiate a great conflict inside Europe like before which will make us understand why UK left EU.

Iran's non alignment policy will save us. Economic issues will be a common phenomenon for a rising country.

Khamenei: US planned a post-Islamic Republic government, expecting Iran to collapse. The Iranian nation’s unity proved them wrong.

Israeli Regime Channel 13:

The Mossad informed the army that Iran has equipped all of its underground missile cities with launch silos. The total number of these silos is estimated to be around 600.


The US transferred 2,500 of its troops from the Harir and Ain al-Assad bases to Erbil, near Iran.

I don't think you can build 600 launch silos in 2 months
