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

Starting tonight, the tragedy of the Sirik wedding will be placed in the collective memory of Iranians regarding this war, alongside the Minab school, the Dena naval ship, and the Lamerd sports ha

US can absolutely strike Tehran and other major cities in Iran but they've done risk cost analysis and the current course is least risky + costly not just for US but also US allies. They're slowly degrading IR capabilities and this tempo suits the US and its allies well. They see no reason to strike Tehran right now.

Iranian current leadership apparently also believes this tempo is to their favor. That's where I would disagree with their assessment.

If US increases tempo it shakes up oil market even more and increases economic and political pressure which reduces window to operate. There would be more pressure against Trump administration to end campaign.

At this tempo it's frustrating but doable/tolerable by the US, allies, and international community. Or not frustrating enough to where US may feel pressure that it needs to achieve objectives in smaller window. They feel they have infinite time at this tempo.

the interesting thing about last attacks is it seems ksa doesnt participate in usa misadventures anymore.

why rest of gcc doesnt follow same path?

by the other side, i guess it's impossible to avoid jordan beggars rulers from keep selling own country for a few more dollars.

but kuwait, bahrain, qatar dont need it.

No reason to strike Tehran right now lol 13 in operable bases in GCC are the reason. Yankees ran like chicken and their Gulfie poodles took a severe beating thats why they are not hitting Tehran right now.

Wake up to the reality!

Rating Iran’s military response: 0/10

Completely embarrassing response after so many civilian casualties. It was clearly a face saving response. All the fake threats and destruction by IRGC and Marandi were just that fake bluffs.

Drones to Bahrain and Kuwait that will easily get shot down by choppers and air defenses. Maybe 1 hits a random hangar. More beating up on Kurds in Erbil.

15 missiles to Jordan with only 1 confirmed impact after the attack earlier this week that had ZERO confirmed impacts as of this posting.

The reason why US attacked so broadly today was because the failed attack earlier this week by Iran did not cause casualties or major damage. It’s clear U.S. has patched or upgraded their air defenses in Jordan in the past several weeks after the July failure.

Iran is in a tough spot and will find itself back in the Cold War siege.

More propaganda for their domestic audience.

That's exactly what he said. They're not striking Theran as they don't wish to escalate. Their strategy is to slowly deplete Iranian missiles stock before escalating. Whether or not this will work is anyone's guess really.

Lol

Everyday you see they are striking from GCC and that's why Iran is firing at them and now you say the bases are empty so why fire at them?

I know the reality. The reality is Iran crafted a grand policy/strategy for Israel and Saudi Arabia (at one point ) but not for USA. It is not in same league of USA. Iran wasn't prepared for a war like this and its strategy is to ride out storm.

US on other hand is sticking out because it's not going to concede strait of Hormuz to Iran. And because Trump family personally benefits + US becomes next exporter of diesel , gas to Europe and more. Also forces some nations to expend resources like fertilizer and more, weakens their position in tariff war with USA and makes them burn through reserves

US is playing a sophisticated, unclean game here and it doesn't care to humiliate Iran or feel need to increase tempo as it's achieving what they want

I’m guessing their response is better than 0 out of 10 but especially if they haven’t let up after 4 hours
