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

I certainly wouldn't send a bunch of sandal wearers to do my dirty work. I'll tell you that much for free.

Many children forced, heartbreaking, won't even post here

Falklands was and is classed as UK territory

From yom Kippur war:

"They had been forbidden by Al-Assad to approach the River Jordan, for fear of triggering an Israeli nuclear response"

Korean war, after north Korea was pushed back all the way by US forces, China got involved directly sending massive amounts of soldiers to fight against USA directly.

Saddam first launched scud missiles at Israel in first gulf war, Israel had not attacked Saddam first

Last reply before I get warned about derailing tread.

1. Falklands is not part of the U.K. Google it!

2. Even as per your description USA started the wars in Korea and Vietnam to suppress communism

3. Zio-US hit Iraq. Iraq hit zios.

End of story!

Be up front, who is who? I don't understand what you are referring to. Who is Iran getting justice for?

Didn't Iran bomb Pakistan, why?

Your scenario cuts both ways

I was referring to USA and Iran.

Neither Iran nor Pakistan have ever attacked each other.

Both have hit terrorists in each other’s territories.

Which is unfortunate.

They should work together to tackle internal insurgencies.

Iran did attack Pakistan, I am not a slave so don't tell me otherwise

Freedom for you then freedom for me

I thought you meant Gaza, oh well



You see how this goes

This is what the war against Iran has brought upon europeans

I have been warning about this here for weeks.

Only for the “US perspective-rs” to brag about fake numbers coming out of SoH.

Those numbers published were utter BS to manipulate oil prices.

All EU countries are heavily in debt.

They cannot continue to borrow to subsidise fuel.

Subsidies will have to be withdrawn after January otherwise bond rate will spiral out of control.

Russia once again using Iran to better its own situation.

It’s important to point out that Russia would not be getting a sanctions relief or Trump kissing up to Putin if it weren’t for energy prices being as high as they are and Hormuz creating a tough political situation.

Uhh actually you did. Remember the sandal wearing bearded cavemen in Afghanistan who were the blue eyed boys of ISI from 1994 to 2021 ?

In other news the chances of Trump hitting Pickaxe mountain in November are near 100%. The question is will he use a tactical nuke for maximum fireworks effect and victory narrative ? I think the answer is Yes and hence all this "moab" talk.

Trump says he won't use nuclear weapons or send ground troops to Iran

Trump said he would not use nuclear weapons against Iran or send ground troops as the U.S. reportedly weighs new strike options.

I told you guys, Pakistan is a compromised nation. All roads lead back to House of Saud. None of the countries in the region are actually independent. They are all required to kiss the Saudi ring in order to get a few shekels thrown their way like beggars. On the other side the Americans are pressing down on their necks as well.

Soon it will be Turkey doing the same because their economic conditions aren’t much better than Pakistan. But I’m sure @Eşbah will arrive to write a lengthy post on how Turkey is totally anti imperialist and anti Zionist and all of this is a simple misunderstanding.

Iran should halt any energy shipping going to Pakistan as formal protest.

I'm not saying Turkey shutting down border trade with Iran is impossible.

When you break down the actual figures, Iran's trade doesn't really move the needle for Turkey - especially if Washington sweetens the deal with something like tariff breaks. Sure, doing business with Iran creates headaches and doesn't pack much of a profit punch, but Ankara's kept those borders open because the policy-makers there figure keeping Iran afloat and united gives them bigger geopolitical wins.

So, you're calling out Turkey for something that hasn't even gone down yet. Plus, you're ragging on Pakistan for not building that gas pipeline while completely glossing over the fact that Iran has a habit of cutting off gas to Turkey when winter rolls around - and this was happening way before the war and all those brutal sanctions kicked in.

You can't really blame Pakistan (or any other neighbor for that matter) for not pushing harder on ties with Iran back in the day when Tehran wasn't even keen on doing a free trade deal with Turkey, despite Ankara asking multiple times.

It was Iran that actively went with proxy forces instead of building up relationships with actual regional players, even though they could've done both.

I fear at this point, it's too late to go asking for favors; Iran has to make it through this conflict on its own terms.

And honestly, if what you're saying about Iran's historical, deeprooted cleverness and wisdom holds up, I'm pretty confident they're going to seriously invest in Turkey, Afghanistan, and Pakistan going forward.

But for the time being, don't expect anything.

İran ticaret rotasını karaya çevirdi: Gürbulak’tan ihracat yüzde 250 arttı - Dünya Gazetesi

ABD'nin deniz ablukası ve Hürmüz'deki aksama İran'ı kara ticaretine yöneltti. Gürbulak üzerinden İran'a yapılan ihracat beş ayda yüzde 250 arttı, Türkiye-İran ticareti ise yılın ilk yarısında yüzde 19 yükselerek 3,2 milyar dolara çıktı.

Iran Shifts Trade to Land Routes as Exports via Gürbulak Surge 250%​

​

1.​

• Before the conflict, more than 80% of Iran's foreign trade—approximately 180 million tonnes annually—passed through southern seaports.
• Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and pressure on maritime shipping have made traditional sea routes more difficult to use.
• Iran is responding by increasing its use of land borders with neighboring countries.
• Turkey is particularly important because it provides access to European markets and has established road and rail infrastructure.

2.​

• Exports from Turkey to Iran through the Gürbulak–Bazargan border crossing rose by 250% in the five-month period ending August 12.
• In early September, approximately 500 trucks per day were reportedly entering Iran from Turkey.
  • Consumer products
  • Animal feed
  • Ingredients used in pharmaceutical manufacturing
• Goods moving from Iran to Turkey include aluminum, bitumen, and construction materials.

Gürbulak is also strategically important for Turkish trade with Central Asia and markets farther east.

3.​

• Total trade between the two countries reached approximately $3.2 billion in January–June 2026.
• This represents a 19% increase compared with the same period in 2025.
• Turkey and Iran have had a preferential trade agreement since 2015.
• The changing geopolitical situation is increasing the economic importance of their shared border.

4.​

• The increase in truck traffic has caused long queues, sometimes stretching for kilometers.
• Truck drivers have faced waiting times of several days.
• In August, Turkish and Iranian officials agreed to establish a joint commission to investigate delays and identify solutions.
  • Gradually increasing daily truck-crossing capacity.
  • Expanding the use of TIR Carnets, which facilitate international road freight customs procedures.
  • Introducing an electronic TIR system between the two countries.

Without improvements, congestion could increase delivery times and freight costs.
5.

• The Gürbulak customs facility reopened in April 2026 following extensive modernization.
• The investment exceeded 3 billion Turkish lira.
• Improvements include expanded vehicle and passenger capacity, upgraded inspection systems, and better logistics infrastructure.
• The crossing reportedly handles approximately $1 billion in annual import and export transactions.

The increase in trade could help Turkey benefit from these investments, particularly in freight transportation, customs services, and logistics.

6.​

• US sanctions against Iran can expose foreign businesses providing services to Iranian companies to additional compliance risks.
• Companies involved in banking, insurance, freight, customs, and potentially restricted goods must carefully check their transactions and counterparties.
• Land routes cannot fully replace the enormous volumes of goods previously transported by sea.
• The long-term benefits for Turkey will depend on whether border capacity can expand while companies manage sanctions-related risks.
