So, the leadership knows what's coming. Strictly from Iran's POV: Why not fire the first bullet in that case?

I just don't understand this restraint.

Wouldn't you take action first if someone armed with a gun is charging at you, fully aware that they intend to kill you?

IRI is either ready to 'absorb' the attack and move on or they are genuinely scared of the US.

Either way, doing nothing and waiting for the missiles to hit them can't be the answer. Deterrence must be re-established.

France and the UK are scared of the US, of course Iran is scared, it's a rational fear

Everyone respects Yemen for its aggressive preemptive strikes, fearlessly firing missiles at U.S. aircraft carriers, and agrees to ceasefire.
Meanwhile, missiles rain down relentlessly on Iran, which remains perpetually passive.
Sadly, the mullahs lack the wisdom to learn from this.

everyone respects Yemen and no Iranian wants to live like Yemenis

Looks like France supports regime change

France prefers to offer support to US policy in Iran (including war) to avoid a US invasion of Greenland and the destruction of NATO

it makes sense

I told you guys Trump is using Greenland as a leverage to get NATO active against Iran.

IDK, both are deeply 'religiously' motived more about IR, Greenland discussion is'nt relevant here

Greenland isn’t religiously motivated. It is very relevant when he is using Greenland to pressure NATO into attacking Iran

It is very possible. He is giving them a choice. Either they give him Greenland, or they give him Iran. If the Europeans want American protection, they need to start earning it. They are done protecting them for free.

How does Russia use Geran2 + manpad combination against helicopters. The article mensions that there is man in the loop control with starlink recievers and camera to lock onto helicopters. Geran versions dont have a starlink pod attached so quiet possibly it can be a software controlled manpad launch instead of man in the loop control. It is not very effective but some helicopters trying to intercept the gerans are hit that way in Ukraine theater.

manpad has about 6+km range to hunt helicopters.

Jeep is not armored and can be effected-at least made unusable by a manpad hit.
Manpad tubes can be attached to below the shahed fuselage. Initial salvo can target the ground vehicles as they lock onto jeeps heat signatures and launch these manpads. Quiet possibly no man in the loop is necessary if the manpads lock by themselves as shaheed closes on the target. The lock will activate the software on the shaheed to trigger the manpad.

A new air to ground infrared guided missile can be developed as well to attach on the shaheeds. Infrared missiles can lock on independantly after shaheeds come close to targets and they are quiet effective against heat signature targets like jeeps or radar vehicles.

Standoff with Iran over inspections cannot go on forever, IAEA chief says

* * *

Well here’s another trumped up excuse for trump or Israel to attempt to resume bombing of Iran iaea saying Iran is stalling on inspection of sites that were bombed I’m hoping Iran has finally smarted up and actually was able to whisk away this nuclear material to more secure area perhaps they are busy doing something they had no desire to do but with the risk of war sees a no lose situation let’s see what happens honestly if they were able to do something that they could actually keep a secret this time around with everyone guessing

Iran should prepare for war. There is no escaping this. The only thing they should think is how to keep the costs as high as possible for the AmeriKKKans including sinking their carriers with Hypersonics.

And if the enemy uses Nukes first? Then the gloves are off and Iran is entirely justified in retaliating with Nukes back including dirty bombs and any other WMD in their present arsenal.

I tend to think the days of the 'coalition of the willing' are gone and that American firepower alone is formidable enough against Iran--though the cost to the region / Israel are potentially too much for even America. So I don't see even if Macron is offering to help against Iran it would dissuade Trump from his Greenland adventure.

Similarly, I don't buy the theories by some seniors here that America is on an aggressive path to make the Europeans pay more for their defense. It is not 'America', it is 'Trump' who is pushing for such policies with possible guidance by the likes of Stephen Miller, one of his key advisors. Trump wants personal glory to be remembered as one of the Greatest American Presidents ever. That, IMO, is the No. 1 reason for his aggressive policies.
