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

[جوبا]

Wrong.
To declare war he needs congress approval....Emergency Powers grant him the right to respond to an impending attack or to defend the US if attacked...not powers to put boots on the ground on another country without that said country endangering the US mainland or US forces.


While the U.S. Constitution grants Congress the power to declare war, presidents often use emergency powers and their role as Commander-in-Chief to authorize limited military action without prior congressional approval. These actions are typically justified under the War Powers Resolution of 1973 to repel attacks, protect U.S. interests."

The War Powers Resolution actually allows up to 60-90 days of war without congress approval. He can commit to boots on ground without the onus of "self-defense"
Besides they are more interested in an aerial campaign right now, both of which he can do easily without congress.

True, he would never put boots on the ground.....however, 60-90 days of anything still needs to be justified, as it was the case in Somalia, where Congress recalled the troops. With Iran, he has to make a case not only to Congress, but the American people that we need to get into another Middle East war.......in order for him to justify even a military operation he needs Iran to attack the US bases or soldiers. With out that, he can bomb targets from the air. The bigger issue is the entire congress is bought off by AIPAC so if he does bomb Iran, no one will hold him to account. Congress has many levers to pull in order to stop a military ops. They can vote to cutoff funding immediately, they can pass a resolution that can recall troops. etc. But unfortunately Iran has no friends in Congress.

“Last September in New York, at Merz’s insistence, the E3 put an end to their role in nuclear negotiations by pursuing the return of UN sanctions on Iran. Now, Merz is begging to be allowed back into the same negotiations,” Araghchi added.

Iran seems to ignore completely why Merz changed opinion.
Nobody shouldn't negotiate when ignore what really wants the other part.

If Iran keeps negotiations, Israel will attack Iran, exactly what USA wants, and exactly what happened last June.
If Iran doesnt negotiate, then sanctions wont be lifted, economic situation will be worse and protests will start again.

What USA really want?
What Israel want?
What GCC want?
What Iran want?
What Europe/Germany want?

GCC would like a regime change in Iran, but it's not something urgent for them, and they dont want the risks of Iran war.

Israel needs a Iran regime change since Oct 7, but they know it wont be a easy thing.

USA wants a complete Middle East and Eurasia destabilization, but started by Israel, they dont want to start it.

So follow USA path is the short path for Iran war.

The only who could stop war is GCC. Giving humanitarian help to Iran to avoid future protests: food, medicines and so on. And telling F-U-C-K OFF to USA.

Iranian protests were especially hard in the poorest neighborhoods.

If Iran gets money in negotiations, that it could be used for weapons and pay proxies, Israel will start the war.

The ship they are chasing is a corvette, its much smaller than Arleigh burke destroyers of US Navy. Most likely LCS of US Navy or otherwise could be corvette of any other gulf nation.

The RWS onboard these ships can obilerate this boat in an instant. The ship already would have scanned right through the fisherman's boat in super finer details. Fisherman lived only because it posed no threat.

A different take on the matter.

Welcome back Mr. Shapur

Thank you, my friend. I wanted to share my two cents about the current situation and leave again. As we have seen times and times again, the Islamic Republic and their supporters are immune to good advice and sanity.

when Israel and the US say they helped the protestors, what do you think that means?

the scale of destruction of public buildings in Tehran alone shows they were not "completely peaceful"

I don't know. What do you think it means? Do you expect your enemy not to take advantage of your own stupidity? Didn't Iran try to make the most out of Black Lives Matter or recent protests in the US? The only difference is that the US and Israel have competent intelligence agencies with international reach and the Islamic Republic lacks such capability and has a loud mouth only.

There is no destruction of public buildings in Tehran except for anecdotal cases. Besides, destruction of public property is absolutely normal and very common in protests and riots around the world and does not justify killing thousands of people in 2 days. It was the norm in BLM protests that the Islamic Republic supported as well. It is the norm in basically every French riot in Paris.

they were not that peaceful either

you forgot the videos of protestors dragging unarmed police officers from their cars and beating / stabbing them to death?

Good for them. When the police kill teenagers with brutality, they deserve to be beaten to death.

no one denies this

how many police officers do you think were killed in the latest protests? you are happy to believe outlandish numbers of people killed (10k+), but what about police officers?

official accounts put the number at over 100. do you think this is a normal number that can be achieved from mostly peaceful protestors?

I don't know how many oppressors were killed, but I hope they were killed in enough numbers to make the regime think twice and correct their path before shit gets out of hand. Otherwise, we will end up like Syria.

You know what the next step is? Let me warn you about it, even though I know we will eventually have another "I told you so" moment soon.

Lurs and Arabs in Iran are armed. You probably have noticed how violent protests in Lur-majority cities were. They have been armed since the 1979 revolution because they never gave back their weapons. They even have a tradition of firing shots in their weddings. Kurds are armed too, with organized and trained separatists. So are Baluch people in Zahedan. The next step is that people will receive more arms. Most of them will be ethnic groups in Iran, not your average uptown dude or middle-class guy in Tehran. And then you will get a civil war with the backing of the US and Israel. If this is the path you have chosen, keep doing what you're doing and you will get there in no time.

Man, you have said a lot of nonsense in support of terrorists. We will suppress the terrorists without any mercy. Tell this to your masters.

From now on, you will no longer be able to pretend to be ignorant, and armed military forces will enter the streets to eradicate all terrorists.

Everyone will see how easy it is for Iran to kill terrorists, but so far we have waited for the deceived youth to separate from the terrorists.

 

[ToddE]

I will pull my old post here when its all over, so far its going as it seemed.

My prediction was IRGC initiated inflation => Protests => US-IRI Standoff => Talks => Benign Military Exchange, probably mutually agreed => de-escalation and Internal Coup completed. Now non-ideological IRGC Larijani, Ghalibaf etc + Reformist current crop + will take over entire country, its 1 million strong military, 8 trillion USD worth hydrocarbon reserves. They will open some proportion of Hydrocarbon to USD against guarantees of foriegn investment into the hydrocarbon sector. This is what was proposed during Raisi+Abdollahian tenure when Saudis (Basically US) offered cash against hydrocarbon sector modernisation. Conservative dominant IRI showed no interest and we had a war. Then Raisi and his FM were killed. Previously Soleimani was burnt from inside. A slow coup is hapening.

They have killed our President, Gen. Soleimani and 35 of our highest-ranked military men in the last 5-6 years and we weren't able to do shit about it. You think we will rain down missiles on the US forces over a fisherman boat? lol

Hilarious. You can't make shit like this up. Goes to show you how foolish and delusional the regime and its supporters are.

Stop self projection. The only group of people that are known to be terrorists are the Islamic Republic and its militia groups like the IRGC. The IRGC is currently an internationally-recognized terrorist organization.

As usual, you will be humiliated again. The IR and its supporters are used to humiliation. The only difference is that this time, it won't be just humiliation. This time is much more serious and being the fools you are, you cannot see it yet.

 

[ShapurII]

You are as stupid as your masters. Soon you will hear the sound of missiles and bullets.

Take care of yourself.
Western capitals may not be safe for you either.

Hahaha

This reminds me of that Piers Morgan interview with Marandi.
The delusional fool, Marandi, started to boast about how we will do this or we will do that if Trump makes a wrong move and Piers called him out and said that's what you always say and Marandi had tears in his eyes and was about to burst into crying lmao



As usual, they will mop the floor with you and there's absolutely nothing that you can do about it except for crying and saying you dreamed of martyrdom from the beginning.
