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

[Proud Thamizhan]

What is so sad and unfathomable is this - so many of the smartest and nicest people I have come across in my career are Iranian and Israeli origin. Yet they have let their hatred get the better of them

I am seeing reports here that what Israel did was a de-capitating attack and that Iran's nuclear capability has been set back decades. Wonder how close or far that is from truth

Probably a few years, not decades. And a decapitation strike doesn't work when you don't get rid of CC-chain.

dont talk, execute first, these iranians talk a lot of smack.. celebrate afterwards

They didn't actually say that. It's just people in a Telegram chat saying stuff and Twitter handles repost it as official news. When it isn't.

Stand strong Iran, my prayers for my brothers and sisters. We Pakistanis are with you.

Bro, I think drama is going on. Iran didn't even bothered to attack Israel's nuclear facilities

It is only Iran to be honest. There is simply no airforce whatsoever how do you explain this in this era? this has nothing to do with the mideast in general but exclusively Iran

Very poor long-term strategy on Iran's part.

I miss President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

In 2002, the United States declared Iran, Iraq and North Korea as the "Axis of Evil".

Iraq was considered the weakest of the three so they invaded Iraq and destroyed it totally.

North Korea seeing this, relentlessly worked on their ballistic and nuclear weapons programs. They didn't listen to anyone and they didn't care.

• North Korea conducted their first nuclear test in 2006 (just 3 years later).

Iran for whatever reason thought, let the Americans occupy Iraq first, we'll bog them down there and defeat them this way. Iran's policies were:

• Create proxies in the neighbourhood, brag about it, souring diplomatic relations with everyone.
• Concentrate on their ballistic missile program thinking that would be enough.
• Denounced the nuclear weapons program to appear as the good guys on the world stage.

The US withdrew from Iraq but came back again whenever they wanted to.

Today, 23-years later the US is conducting airstrikes on Iran using Zion. Once the Iranian air defences and long range ballistic missile facilities are taken out, they'll move their carrier groups and bombers close to Iran.

This is all because Iran did not leave NPT in 2002, kick out IAEA inspectors and did not build nuclear weapons in a timely manner. Iran had 23-years to build a nuclear deterrent.

How confident are people they wont be sabotaged again? ie is the source of the issue identified and isolated ?

most military strategies can be played out usually once, effectively. This was not a sabotage where the stooges of Israel were running rampant around Iran and inside their Govt.

This was more a case of offshoot organizations helping Israel build Drone base in a remote region. Much like how BLA is sabotaging Pakistan from within. On a hopeful note, now Iran will also crack down on the Baloch insurgents on their side of the border which will solve problems for Pakistan too. I'm sure that is something one can take care of in a good and permanent manner.

Its not. It's just damaged.

 

[RescueRanger]

Big whoop they violated Iraqi airspace a limp, decrepid launch pad for American operations in the M.E.

And they invaded Iranian airspace, a nation that had a virtually non-existant airforce?

Sir, I'm going need you to step away from the koolaid jug.

Fordow is not

Even underground Natanz site I think is not damaged

but above ground enrichment site at Natanz is destroyed
