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

So off topic but sometimes a little humor is best in these dark days

You always wanna throw Arabs into something. No, Arabs aren't involved in this war. It's between Iran, US and Israel.

Arabs aren't afraid of war nor paranoid about it. They will keep working to stabilize the region. And help those that want to be helped.

Arabs also won't allow any parties to export war onto Arab land. As part as deeper scheme or just due to being afraid to attack each other they attack Arabs. That will backfire on any parties.

This is a historically Arab islamic region and will always remain that way

Moral of the story: THE ARABS ARE BENT OVER AND WILL REMAIN BENT OVER.

N91BU spotted headed towards Israel via Egypt.

For those who don't know this "Civilian C-130" is linked to Contractors based out of Ramstein, Germany that do some interesting jobs (hush hush type) allegedly for a certain US agency with three letters.

Stay blessed brother.

NY Times front page right now. Hard to say an attack on Iran has been averted or not but, being this a Pakistani forum, any attack on Iran should be the topmost concern right now for Pakistan. Looking at Pakistani analysts videos over the last several days, there is NOT ONE who is not aware of the Israelis behind what's going on in Iran and every analyst is sympathetic toward the Iranian govt and people.

Reuters reporting, citing two European officials, that the US is about to strike within the next 24 hours.

. the goal will be to make sure that the security agencies of Iran who are tracking CIA and mossad agents are taken out with these strikes or incapacitate them so much that they are not able to clean out agents. And along with that Missile sites and Nuke sites will be hit massively.

What kind of bombs and missiles can be deployed for ground strikes. can someone provide some insights?

So I guess we have to talk about Arab countries were their backing violent sociopaths in Sudan….uae but let’s get back to Arabs not being involved in this upcoming conflict….Jordan uae and Qatar
Jordan will be again trumps whipping boy and defend Israel getting nothing out of it
UAE actually might assist in this round with more than just refueling and helping to takeout drones and cruise missiles
Qatar can pretend to be neutral but when you have the soldiers in your country operating to attack Iran that’s not neutrality sorry
Let’s not forget Bahrain
I think Saudis don’t want any part of this

Arabs have been in more severe wars. They also had two Gulf wars with Saddam's Iraq.

This situation today is a lot less severe. Saddam was bigger threat to them than Iran.

Qatar, UAE, and even Saudi Arabia are on good terms with Iran today. But even if they got dragged it into it by the USA, they are more resilient and have better infrastructure than we think.

The only worry for Iran is lots of their domestic population are anti-regime. The government can withstand US strikes but if some people on the ground act up and start a civil war, that's the biggest worry for Iran.

This was not possible in Gaza because the domestic population is overwhelmingy pro-Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Which is why Israel and US tried their luck to expel the entire population into Egypt.

In Iran there is a lot of dissent which in my opinion is what is worrying the IRI not US/Israeli strikes.

They should have contingency plans like having national army take over country temporarily and some announcement of elections. Not sure they do.

Take into account Pakistani brothers and sisters lots of them aren't pro-IRI but we do not want instability on Pakistan's borders. Pakistan is familiar with IRI and they aren't afraid of IRI. But certainly don't want a civil war or refugees right next door.

So Arabs and Pakistan are most likely lobbying US against regime change.

US is moving aircraft carrier signaling to unilateral action is on table again. Against wishes of Arabs.

Because no neighbor of Iran is willing to work with the US, it means they will try weakening IRI through the air to try getting them to make concessions at negotiating table.

It's a skirmish not that serious it's appearing serious because IRI leadership is very calculated in a way that's doing more harm than good

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

Ballistic missiles are our means of defense; it is not negotiable.

Why should we negotiate on our ballistic missiles when we need them for our security and our defense?

2 possibilities

1) This is a feint and Trump is bidding time for assets to get into place and Iran to drop its guard

2) He is still going to attack, but a symbolic one and then enter in negotiations.

Hard to tell, but I know JD Vance is against this strike. But I’d be shocked if Trump doesn’t get at least ONE punch in.

On December 31(2025) they said Iran had lost control of the country... fake news.

Today, January 15(2025) They've been saying for the last 48 hours , Iran will be attacked in 24 hours.

NOTE: Here in Brazil (on the internet) there's even a joke called "72H" because the media and pro-Zionist channels have posted several times in recent years that "in 72 hours Iran will be attacked and destroyed..." so when someone wants to make a joke about Iran or the Middle East, they just say "72h..."

This situation today is a lot less severe.

I beg to differ

The situation across the Middle East and North Africa is very bad. Millions have been killed and many countries destroyed in the last 2 decades.

So just a small skirmish. Cost for them to do regular blows on Iran is very low.

Because IRI leadership is scared. IRI leadership should threaten any strikes even if small could lead to prolonged regional war.

And actually follow up with threats. It of course won't the regime nature is known to everyone by know bark not bite. They will absorb small skirmishes and call it a day.

This is second time in less than a year Iran will get attacked by Israel and/or the USA. It's a bad strategy for Iran to not show some muscle.

Problem is Iran can’t let him have that sucker punch for free if it is just a quick light show if he does that “victory lap”
Laughing and talking like before Iran really is done for because means America and Israel will be free to bomb whatever they wish at any time treat them like Hamas hezbolah and Syria it will be the end of Iran only one option isn’t to level bases like they say they can leave the long range missiles for Israel missiles for Israel is they supposedly have only 2 to 3 thousand long range missiles what about feather or missiles of those types can we assume they have several thousand than that’s not including all other types of mlrs they have all these can strike pretty much any bases throughout gcc or any vessel 3 to 5 hundred miles off the coast of Iran
