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

[Watandar]

Bombing Tehran, while painful to watch, has no military benefit.

Looking forward to better news from Iran, inshallah.

They are attacking state facilities like police, ammo depots etc to encourage rebellion and also lay the foundation for the next stage in which they arm domestic groups in an insurgency.

— Another video showing Kuwaiti locals helping and thanking the USAF pilots who ejected from their F-15s.

Dude was being hypothetical, in his defence.

I think if he ever looked at his belly he would realize he got bigger issues than Iran US conflict...
He ought to be figuring out what kind of food and health issues brought him to this physical stage...
He should be defending himself against food first.....

 

[Mero]

There are videos of IRGC developments, they were training FPV explosives drones. So yes, if israelis, americans or other subrogates wants to taste a land invasion good luck with that.

US is going to use EW to disrupt drones, so only effective against areas that are not attacked with EW. Faraday cage drones are better, though the copper wire could be susceptible/vulnerable to EW.

 

[Master Chief]

He is right but also wrong. Only a jeet can achieve such a state of metaphysical duality.

A balanced and very well written analysis of Iran situation.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026...rategy-how-it-has-changed-since-june-2025-war

What is Iran’s military strategy? How has it changed since June 2025 war?
Defence analysts tell Al Jazeera that Iran has revised its military strategy since 12-day war with Israel.

The gist - “The Iran-Israel theatre is testing Washington’s ability to align its National Defense Strategy with limited public appetite for another open‑ended Middle Eastern conflict,” Phillips said. “So the US is likely to aim for a contained, deterrence‑focused campaign rather than an indefinite high‑intensity war. Their catalyst for stopping will be the political will of allies and how much sway they can hold over the next supreme leader.”

Any strategy that relies on the will and appetite of the American people is not a wise strategy, that is for sure.

Well, one can twist the story many ways, but still pretty embarrassing........if not for USAF definitely for the Kuwaitis that they couldn't identify USAF jets? Do they not have that data linking and IFF? I thought the IFFs were a pretty common thing on board all USAF jets to prevent incidents like these and all USAF and mostly US supplie systems in GCC should be networked, no?

But once the interceptors were launched, didn't the F-15 RWR systems notify and launch counter measures? This episode proves another thing that happened with SPECTRA on rafales........it is extremely difficult to get out of a lock of a fast incoming missile......self protection seems more like "........dil behlane ke liye Ghalib khayal acha hai....."....if you are being painted by active/SARH missiles and your intercept coordinates are precise then chances of you evading it is very very slim.

No wonder PAF is upgrading its own IFFs on the F-16s, because in highly contested battlespace you never know who you are gonna mistake.

But it seems Kuwaitis have gotten a flavor of battlespace management from Indians.........not sure if that's a good thing or bad...

I am hoping we can no longer need F-16s, with Chinese J-10CE beings the alternative.

The Chinese will have to find a way of taking care of themselves as do others.

China has massive strategic oil reserves, the most in the world in fact.

China gets most of its oil from Russia through pipelines.

Iran will not target Chinese ships.

China is supporting Iran 100 from behind the scenes.

 

[Faithfulguy]

Good point. India was created by the British. Just like United States.

[Master Chief]

What is actually wrong with them? They expect others to take them seriously when they do such bizarre things publicly?

Kuwaitis are probably jittery and nothing to do with Indians. You cannot imagine the stress folks working with @side-winder and other folks on the control side have for ID. I have seen more bald folks on AD branch versus others due to multitasking and ensuring you make the right recommendations based ok track behavior .., maybe more bald folks

Perhaps China and Russia should give military technology to Iran. And financial assistance.

 

[Faithfulguy]

As long as China and Russia exist, Turkey's geopolitical value remains intact.







The border has been closed for 'day trips'. It was a mutual decision. However, like I said before, cargo traffic and trade in general is still happening despite US pressure to shut the border completely.

Türkiye suspends day-trip crossings at Iran border - Türkiye News

Türkiye and Iran have mutually suspended day-trip crossings at their border, Turkish Trade Minister Ömer Bolat on March 2 announced, as Israeli-U.S. strikes continued to pound the Islamic Republic.

This means that Tehran won't face shortages like UAE or Israel because their companies are importing goods, food, medicine via Turkey.

Turkey is a card to be used against Russia. It’s good that as a Turk, you recognize that Turkey is a card, or a pawn, not a player, in the world affairs.
