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

Russia refused to deliver s-300 for 8 years despite Iran paying $800m in advance


Certainly not Russia whose support was instrumental for the 2011-2012 UNSC resolutions against Iran to pass, which started this entire problem (and which, in a cruel twist of irony, Russia used to justify its own breach of contracts)
You're not up to date!
History of S-300 deliveries to Iran:
2007:
Signing of a contract for the delivery of five S-300 divisions.
2010:
Russia suspended deliveries due to concerns about Iran's nuclear program.
2015:
Lifting of the embargo by the UN Security Council.
2016:
Completion of deliveries.

What did he say? lol Did you even understand what he said? Because your answer clearly does not show that.
 
You could've at least delivered 24 Sukhoi-35s that Iran had officially ordered in 2022. Iranian pilots have been training in Russia for 2 years already. First batch was supposed to arrive in March 2024.

And Russia should've at least done that. Not to help Iran, but to serve your own interests by not peeing all over your reputation as an arms dealer.
On January 27, the Iranian military confirmed that Russia had delivered a batch of Su-35 fighter jets to them. The cost and number of aircraft delivered have not been disclosed, but indirect data suggests that the deal is worth between $4.5 billion and $5 billion. However, the future of new contracts between Moscow and Tehran remains uncertain due to a possible shift in Iran's foreign policy toward closer cooperation with the US.

Tovarishch, stop writing AI-generated responses. No Su-35 has been delivered to Iran as of today.

The delivery of S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems to Iran has been a long and complicated story. A contract for the delivery of five divisions was signed in 2007, but Moscow was slow to fulfill it, fearing that Iran would use the systems in its nuclear program. Ultimately, deliveries began after the lifting of the embargo imposed by the UN Security Council and were completed in 2016.

how can you use s-300 in a nuclear program? if you had that concern why did you sign the agreement in the first place?

if you keep trolling I will have no choice but to thread ban you.
 
if we strongly suspect Israel will attack us again soon, should we wait for them to hit us hard and let them have the first mover advantage again, or do something about it first?

Normally, we should launch a pre-emptive strike to surprise them and neutralize the threat.

But since we do not have nukes and Israel is a nuclear-armed state with the backing of the so-called "international community", we have to wait for them to hit us first to have the justification for hitting them back.
 
IR always want to please the west and be good player
if I think about this as an Israeli:

I invested a lot of resources and planning to destroy Iran's air defences in large parts of Iran, which was successful beyond belief and I cannot repeat it easily in the future

I learned I can kill the entire IRI leadership and freely bomb all nuclear sites and civilian targets and only expect a symbolic response, all the prior IRGC threats were total bluster and strongest factions within IRI will be desperate for ceasefire immediately

I learned I can successfully suppress missile launches from the largest MRBM bases, only having to absorb 10-20 missiles per day, of which 2-3 hit anything useful (compared to 100-200+ effective precise hits on Iran each day)

I got the US to intervene directly and bomb Esfahan, Natanz and Fordow and I was vindicated that Iran would only respond symbolically to that too, meaning the US does not need to worry about casualties or Strait or Hormoz closure no matter what it does in Iran

--> this all leads to one direction
 
Many of us are acting based on emotions, but we must understand that the situation is 100 times more complicated than what we think and see. There are no "fast food" solutions; (do x and problem y is solved). If there is anything like that I'm sure we have officials, military etc who have planned already. Have patience.
