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

[Meengla]

What was the case on the day Iran attacked the 3 civilian vessels transiting the Strait? What was the case the day before, and the day before that, and the day before that?
How many days of relative peace did we have? Had the US not lifted its blockade? Had the US not allowed Iran to trade it’s oil?

Right. Lethal fire on those oil tankers was not needed. A sea captain wouldn't take the risk of passing through if mere threats of violence was made. That was an Iranian mistake. But, per Trita, the American reaction to that too was a disproportionate. There was a middle ground. But here we are. Maybe there are talks going on to come to that middle ground. Maybe!

We are in a zero sum game, its existential for Iran, they will go to extremes if they feel they have to, luckily we have not seen extremes and I hope it stays that way.

Why would Iran think it is a zero sum game? It is just the beginning. Some aerial strikes don't make it any end game and so no need to go to any extreme measure.

Article 1 of the Islamabad MoU:

"The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States, together with their allies
in the current war, declare upon the signing of this Memorandum of
Understanding an immediate and permanent end to the war on all fronts,
including Lebanon, and undertake that from now on they will not launch any
hostile action against each other, and will refrain from the threat or use of force against each other. The final agreement will confirm the provisions of this Article and the remaining Articles."

Israel broke the terms of this article before any hostile actions occurred in the Strait. Could Iran have been patient and shown leniency to its enemies? Sure, I suppose. But it's ultimately their prerogative, in view of Tel Aviv's discordant action.

After that, when Israel bombed Beirut, Iran fired missiles at Israel and the US fired some salvos at Iran or maybe it did not. But after all this, there was a period of calm for atleast a week or more. And that's what the world was building on to. By today, thing could have been so different, if only Iran had not attacked those vessels.

Their objective was regime change they killed many of the leaders but failed in achieving that, Israels objective is the fragmentation of Iran. Both are unlikely to give up, trumps constantly threatening the annihilation of Iran.

Why they say this is to support and feed their well known hasbara theory to the sheeple abroad. That is usa-Iran by seemingly fighting is weakining mideast regimes for isreal to dominate them later on like when Iran strikes back against kuwait for eample. That is to mobilise support against Iran abroad with secterian motives if possible.

Ofcourse Iran has struck israel many times before and will do so but they already located their assets like fighter jets away from Irans bm reach(maybe in south cyprus or somewhere else) and isreal-usa refuels-uses air corridor over mideast countries while attacking Iran which makes them share responsibility with isreal-usa as well. Concentrating on logistical routes nearby by srbms is more feasible for sustaining effective defense for Iran currently than focusing less accurately on empty areas over isreal which is well protected by thaad or similar. Reducing the striking power would give usa more free hand to attack Iran from regional bases as well without fearing larger counter attacks. If those countries dont allow attacks over their airspace against Iran effectively not in words then isreal would be much easier to target for Iran.

Usually I’m not big on people posting that they reported people in threads instead of just talking to moderators but agreed I’d rather we stay mostly on the high ground here for the most part

Easier to stay on the high ground when your country is watching from the sidelines. I bet if your country was being bombed to the level Iran is, you would be going ape shit, hypocrite.

Iranian missile intercepted in Jordan, these 2-3 missiles salvo are not deadly enough especially with Israel assisting with interception

Pakistan policy is to use nukes as soon as possible in case of total war ....
