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

Last 35 odd years, ever since Gulf War 1 in 1992, global military doctrine has been heavily based on the assumption that if you have air superiority in a conventional war (Vietnam and Afghanistan do not count), you will win. This was the case in Iraq in 1991, Balkan Wars, etc.

Iran has turned its weakness in this area into a strength. It has obviously used a massive underground network to let it's enemy exhaust it's airpower and then use underground missiles to fight back.

No country has ever done this before, think North Korea has geared up for this too. Basically both countries know they cannot compete for air superiority in a war so did not bother wasting resources. They went for massive underground missile network. Guess this can only work if you are able to accept some massive damage from bombing, however, Iran seems to be absorbing everything thrown at it.

I think we are now seeing a big change in the nature of war. The most powerful air force in the Middle East, with over 400 very modern jets, the best anti missile defences, nukes etc cannot stop missiles hitting it all over the place.

Hopefully Pak Mil is learning lessons here....

He's the worst PM in the history of India. His party is the most corrupt too both economically and morally. We miss Dr. Manmohan Singh saab. He was a real statesman and a gentleman.

He was. Probably helped he was from Punjab. He knew the enemy may be the enemy, but they were humans too.

I really rated him. Also he instigated the reforms that set India on a path to rapid economic growth. Really feel if someone like him took over right now India and Pakistan would be a world beating economic and strategic block, but alas...

The "Israelis" deployed white phosphorous against civilian population in Gaza and Lebanon, and this war criminal is complaining about fragmentation missiles. His cry is a clear proof that those fragmentation missiles are having an impact.

I agree Iran as it stands now was going to be attacked either way. I’m talking about the entire ideological framework of Iran dating from the 70s. Things could have been very different.

This is related to the international status and military strength of each country.

The United States has military hegemony, dollar hegemony, and financial hegemony. So many people believe that the American system is advanced and that the American path is correct.

The fact is that the United States was selling arms throughout the early period of World War II and only joined the war in 1942. The Soviet Union tied down most of the German troops, and China tied down most of the Japanese troops. These two countries paid a huge price, while the United States suffered the least losses.

Because after World War II the United States was the strongest, it established military hegemony, dollar hegemony, and financial hegemony, and only then was the American system considered advanced. It was not because the American system was advanced that the United States could establish military hegemony, dollar hegemony, and financial hegemony.

There are so many capitalist countries in the world; how many are like the United States? Therefore, the quality of a country's system and ideology is an open-ended answer.

Iran resisted the combined forces of the United States and Israel, Iran's national rights institutions still exist, and Iran's counterattacks are still ongoing. This proves that there is nothing wrong with Iran's system and ideology.

Many underground facilities are a very expensive option not available to poor countries.

It means their surface assets are empty. They are using every possible missile available in their assets under the sea and over the sea
