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

[kastor ville]

Let’s for the sake of argument pretend we actually sink the CSGs outside the PG and down all the jets and bombers, even the B2s. Thousands of Americans are killed and US is forced to retreat. We bomb the UAE gas terminals, flatten Al-Udeid, Salti and all the American bases in the region. Then what? Sanctions still won’t go away, rial still won’t be worth anything.

I've said the same thing... This is a deterrence move. This is to give him second thoughts about thinking this is gaza or lebanon, where they can come and cut the grass every few months. This is why I keep saying our win would look different than what these military guys want a win to look like.

The "plan" is to decapitate the regime, destroy all nuclear and ballistic missile capability, IRGC security forces, Basij forces and for ground troops (anti regime Iranians) quickly take control of Tehran and country.

They are not going to destroy infrastructure that would be counterproductive of the goal US is hoping for. Power plants wont get destroyed but power will somehow magically not work until it does. Iran is infested with spooks many from Israel and US they likely know and have tabs on leadership movement and locations... will see.

The Jews have deceived you. If attacking Iran was an easy task, they wouldn't have sent you. They hide behind you.

We will make you forget the memory of Vietnam.

that's not true. only 20% of the US debt is owned by the US government itself.

"As of early 2026, intragovernmental holdings of U.S. debt represent approximately $7.6 trillion of the total national debt"

As of early 2026, the majority (roughly 80%) of the over

trillion U.S. national debt is held by the public, which includes domestic investors, the Federal Reserve, and foreign governments. The single largest category is domestic investors (including institutions and individuals), while Japan remains the top foreign holder, followed by China

Key Holders of U.S. Debt (2025-2026 Data):

• Domestic Investors & Entities (Largest Share): Roughly 40-50% of the total debt is held domestically, including U.S. households, banks, insurance companies, and mutual funds.
• Federal Reserve
  :
  Holds a significant portion, roughly 12-13% of the total debt, although they have been reducing their holdings
  .
• • Intragovernmental Holdings: About 20% of the debt is held within the U.S. government itself, specifically in federal trust funds like Social Security and Medicare.
  • Foreign Investors: Foreign governments and investors own about 30-35% of the total debt.

Lets end this before it derails the topic

sense of war unfortunately

I think we need to see the US evacuate regional bases before they will attack Iran

but the US can do this at very short notice

II said that already they won’t risk having 10s of thousands of soldiers in case of a war they will attempt to evacuate in the middle of night unless they decide to slowly trickle them out of bases over the week which would also make sense but I would think Iran would notice that especially if they tried that in Qatar

Because countries are beginning to make independent deals away from the U.S

Well that's why I said as long as the USD is backed by US bombs and bullets, because right now the question is can countries survive making such deals in this new lawless world? Look at Venezuela.

Iran is openly preparing for war with the U.S. in case talks collapse.

What Iran is doing:

• Deploying forces to the Strait of Hormuz.

• Reviving “mosaic defense” (decentralized military command to survive leadership strikes).

• Fortifying nuclear sites (Isfahan, Pickaxe Mountain).

• Hardening air defenses.

• Expanding domestic crackdowns to prevent unrest.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:

China is supposed to provide a lot of financing now. Well, it's not happening.

It's not as simple as you say, "Let whoever wants to finance go ahead and do it."


Reports claim 24 of 36 U.S. F-16s being deployed to the Middle East are F-16CJ “Wild Weasel” variants, specialized for air defense suppression (SEAD) missions.

These jets are equipped with AN/ASQ-213 HARM targeting systems, allowing them to passively detect enemy radar emissions and strike them with AGM-88 HARM / AGM-88E AARGM anti-radiation missiles.

They also carry AN/ALQ-184 electronic warfare pods to jam and disrupt enemy air-defense radars.

In short, these aircraft are configured specifically to hunt and suppress air defense systems.


1. Iran preparing for war.
2. China won't help.
3. US is preparing a major attack on Iranian AD systems to gain control over its airspace.

Something simultaneous is happening... Russian shadow fleet is being targeted by Indians... which means a tacit understanding. It seems both Russia and China are being targeted indirectly and concurrently.

Perhaps pressure through backdoor channels or collapse in contact. Which means active hedging against both Russia and China... either on assumption that they'd be supporting Iran or strangulation/preemption on Russians and Chinese. It seems far-fetched but it isn't without reason.
The Indian gambit also doesn't bode well for Pakistan... as orange clown had been overtly coddling Pakistan and verbally scolding India... they closed the trade deal offered Venezuelan oil and now prompting them to curb not only Russian oil but taking over shadow fleet.

It may just go global!!!

To be fair Iraq and Afghanistan is still in the minds of many sucks that their were better options to a degree for both countries but we decide on the hammer approach instead of the surgical approach of removing the cancers from each country like those

I’m not sure I understand the point you want to make. Are you saying the U.S will have to give us a favorable deal if we deter them millitary?

The force deployed against Iran now is MASSIVE. That's why I preferred Preemptive Strikes when the amount of US assets are so few so IRGC can take them out one-by-one... Now, IRGC has to fight and face a MASSIVE force right out in the open simultaneously.

Does Iran even have enough missiles, drones and munitions to overwhelm and saturate not only Carrier Battle Groups, but overwhelm defences at dozens of US Bases and Israeli targets? Based from my analysis, Iran literally needs hundreds of launchers, thousands of MRBMs and IRBMs and 10,000+ SRBMs of all types to confidently overwhelm the AD from all those bases and carrier battle groups.

Compared to sinking ships and rendering US bases inoperable due to massive destruction, closing the Hormuz Strait is however much easier done as Iran has thousands of naval mines, anti-ship cruise missiles and tens of thousands of MLRS rockets and thousands of the launchers... all hidden inside caves and camouflaged positions with some decoys too here and there.

This option is better... the liability is greater and onus is on the aggressor. It will still go down and those their become a hostage of their mere presence... there is no back up and the paradigm collapses on trillions in debt ... an old and sick population living in an environmental disaster with no silver lining.
Orange promises twilight.

The U.S has a massive sword hanging over its neck


Because countries are beginning to make independent deals away from the U.S

So if Russia and China make a deal or Iran and China etc and they do so in their own currency, the more this happens the more the U.S will suffer


So at the moment the U.S is starting to threaten everyone not to step away from the dollar but the more irrational and erratic the U.S become the more countries pull away

So already Europe, Canada, India and others are looking for work around

Already countries are looking for their own exchanges outside the usual visa or MasterCard etc


You just have to look closely at what's happening


If the Arab states were not such cucks they could really damage the U.S



If the U.S was smart (look at @SolarWarden, it is not)
They would understand the need to.make better relations and sensible policy
Instead more and more dangerous and erratic and waging wars for the Jews

The U.S is sealing its own fate

Exactly....they did this to themselves. Nobody likes a bully.

Iran led the way for the de-dollarization, Iran helped make the Iraq war costly. Not to credit Iran, but it was the main cause other countries decided to inoculate themselves against the dollar sanction.
Iran helped HZ beat the Israelis in 2010
Iran successfully targeted Israel for the first time in 40 years!
Iran will now prepare to make sure colonial powers won't get to bomb Muslim countries and fly away for dinner.
