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

Persian Gulf said:
CENTCOM: remains of the "missing" soldier from Muwaffaq Salti Air Base were likely found (pending identification of the ashes)

CENTCOM: Separately, another U.S. soldier was killed in northern Iraq on July 18 during a "controlled detonation" of unexploded ordnance from a downed Iranian Shahed Kamikaze drone

this brings the total number of US soldiers killed to 21 (10 directly by Iran and 11 in friendly fire or other 'accidents')

US soldiers are still in north Iraq. they have a big presence near Erbil airport.

1 US soldier in north Iraq was killed yesterday during a "controlled detonation" of Shahed-136 drone

I assume they mean the Shahed drone detonated into the US soldier in a controlled manner

I feel this is the only reason why there hasn’t been a massive response from the US…waiting for the World Cup to be over! It would be really bad optics if there was a huge escalation right before the finals. Very bad optics from the host nation! I fear that right after the tournament there will be something major!

This entire World Cup has been nothing but bad optics for the Americans. Why would optics matter now for them?

That's exactly my point. They will be sitting ducks there and have nowhere else to take shelter in as opposed to PG states where vast majority are in hotels and apartments. With the steady paced attacks and pressure eventually the casualty count is going to mount up there.
 
in the last 48 hours:

- 4 US soldiers killed, dozens injured
- 4 US MQ-9 drones downed and more destroyed on the ground
- several US helicopters damaged
- some US fighter jets possibly destroyed (TBC)
- US moves more assets away from Qatar to Jordan and Israel

with almost 100 refuelers in Israel, Iran will have a great opportunity to destroy a large number of these on the ground if Israel enters the war, providing some deterrence against Israel from entering the war on its own terms.
 
**** no
This war reminds me of Iranian soccer during the 90s where we had the emergence of Azizi ,Daei, Bagheri, Stili, Mahdavikia, Khakpour and many more stars . When we played the Arab teams , the entire game, they were rolling around the grass complaining that they were hurt. They wouldn’t play the game. The entire game was a circus show with these people.
Enough already ,no stop till full defeat and annihilation.

They stopped striking the base once they got a kill. This typical scare of escalation by the Iranians.

Until they start fighting like the Ukrainians or Israelis they will not get Trump to breakdown.

Israel should be attacked by cluster munitions when those re-fuelers are on the ground

use pattern and trends built up by Chinese military satellites to catch them at the best possible time

level the Ben Gurion airport

BREAKING: Iran is actively planning and seriously considering a ground incursion into Kuwait to seize U.S. military bases, including Camp Buehring, Camp Arifjan and Ali Al Salem Air Base, and then take "100 US soldiers hostage" before quickly transferring them to Iran, if the US continues its military campaign against Iran, per prominent Iranian analyst Mahdi Khanalizadeh and former Iranian Foreign Minister Mottaki.

Khanalizadeh adds "the city that should be evacuated is not Tehran; it is Doha, Manama, Abu Dhabi, and Kuwait," warning "a flood of American blood will flow in the region," with Kuwait being considered one of Iran's principal options for the ground incursion. He says "no political border will be safe" and that Iran would shift to a "full-scale offensive" if US strikes continue.

Khanalizadeh also warns joining the US in a ground invasion is "tantamount to a declaration of war upon Iran," with the Iranian Land Force prepared to punish any state that participates.

Good bluffing in response to the US bluff that it may seize Iranian islands and coastline.
