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

[VCheng]

Well Iran seems to be getting some crucial support from China as widely suggested

Who are they against that they did not initially expect to be?

Nothing more than words, and Baidu and satellite imagery, the same as before.

The audacity of this retard.

He is blaming Israel without say Israel, the name of his God in vain.

Just another American TV product who even don't know from where come the orders he follows.



American politicians are pathetic.

Russians are the biggest betrayers in the ME. The Russian power structure is fully infiltrated by the Zionists. Most of the oligarchs in Russia are Zionists.

Russia will backstab Iran and any others in the ME in preference to Israel. Every single defense system sold by them is already compromised because of Russia's relationship with Israel.

Iran is in this all alone. They need to preserve their assets and bet on the long haul. They have that experience from the Iran-Iraq war. They will certainly take a lot more damage but their resilience will carry the day. Trump is not in this war for the long term and the American public is in no mood for a war that is being fought only for Israel's sake.

Imagine:

You can't finish the war in Ukraine in 4 years. From the first months of the war,your strategic planning and logistics have been terrible,corruption is rampant and innovation on a national level is little. How can you protect Syria in 2024 and Iran in 2026,when you're like that?

The problem here is that it seems to be Iran against everyone else, or just about. Valiantly as they are fighting, the outcome against such odds is not in Iran's favor.

Iran is not fighting 'everyone' if you imply Arab countries. Bases in Arab countries or infra in Arab countries which are helping the attacks on Iran. But that's essentially fighting only America and Israel, and maybe a few Western countries, if you think about it. Arab countries are not launching missiles on Iran and they probably will not.
Related to his, I think Pakistan and Turkey are playing their roles to convey messages between Iran and Arab countries to not go to open wars against each other.

• The US says three of its aircraft have been downed over Kuwait and all crew are safe.
• It said three F-15Es went down over Kuwait "due to an apparent friendly fire incident."
• Social media footage appeared to show an F-15E Strike Eagle falling in a tailspin near a US air base.

The US said three of its military aircraft went down over Kuwait, marking the Pentagon's first known air assets downed during the US and Israel's latest war with Iran.

US Central Command said on Monday morning that at 11:01 p.m. ET on Sunday, "three U.S. F-15E Strike Eagles flying in support of Operation Epic Fury went down over Kuwait due to an apparent friendly fire incident."

"During active combat — that included attacks from Iranian aircraft, ballistic missiles, and drones — the U.S. Air Force fighter jets were mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses," it said.

It said all six of the aircrew ejected safely and were safely recovered, and are now in stable condition.

It said the cause of the incident is under investigation and more information would be released when it becomes available.

Once again Nothing ever happens. Would love for one of these cocky bastards to be targeted by hezbollah but wont happen. Everyone is waiting to see what will turkey do because they have been radio silent for last few days

A big part of their population hates Israel. I don’t think they will join the war unless they are forced to through NATO obligation.

 

[Ali_Baba]

Kuwaitis are majority Shia'a. What if the actions were not so much of a "friendly-fire" incident?

That would be very spicey indeed!

China seeing the US exhaust itself (again!) in the Middle East will not lose sleep over the supply disruption....

• United States (SPR): Holds the largest emergency supply, with a capacity of up to 727 million barrels, often used to stabilize global markets.

 

[VCheng]

Depends on what you consider viable and what they consider viable.

They can continue to play the spoiler in that region for a long time. What costs they are willing to pay for that is open to interpretation.

It is still too early to tell.

The surviving Iranian leadership basically have three choices at this point: stay the course till the end, change course and arrive at a settlement that allows the same theocratic setup to continue, or capitulate.

What they choose will determine what they regard as a viable outcome.

Yes the wise Chinese are rebuilding themselves. While we Muslims are in war. LOL!

Well true, but Russia can just increase production no? They will not have a probkem with that is oil prices surge and of course it avoid tankers going through mid east.

Hopefully things will end before it gets to that level

Problem for China is that they are quite dependent on the oil flowing from that region. The US exhausting itself is also debatable because each such war results in the MIC in the United States raking in billions and trillions in follow-on orders, replenishment etc.

Yet another war being fought to bring absolute Zionist hegemony in the Middle East. The Gulf is essentially trading in Iranian influence/threats to their monarchies for Zionist hegemony and patronage.

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

Poor China too - China has a lot to lose financially too with the disruption to shipping lanes, oil and gas. That being said, they have much larger strategic reserves compared to China.

Not to mentioned they have been sitting very quietly on the sidelines..

Okay then. Iran is only fighting two countries. Let us see how that goes any better. Many more countries are not exactly in Iran's camp, that is for sure.
