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

[Ali_Baba]

If it wasn't they would not have green lit the OP for 50 days. This benefits the US immensely in the longer term.

ok - interesting, lets see how this plays out.

shown enough actually!

IR has maintained BM salvos, as I understand

they dont want this news to be out!

regarding jet wreckages, it is irrelevant actually, constant non-stop firing of BM is the real deal!

since last night, IR has launched more than 10 BM (on zio alone), which is a significant number

so, no..... jet wreckage is not important!

Showing jet wreckage would be a huge morale boost to troops and civilians. It would also put pressure on the US government and make Americans more hostile to Israel.

Yes indeed. IT will play out how the masters in ivory towers want it to play out. We are but fodder.

If the rumors of the interceptors running low is true, then why launch this war on Iran now, rather than build up the stock and launch later, say, one year later. I think the conflict has started now partly because of the weather--like in the Iraq War 2003-- but also because Netanyahu knows he has about 3 more years of his man in the White House to help with not only this war but more to come.
And as long as Netanyahu and Trump are both in office, there are going to be more wars and territory grab in the Middle East. So we have about three more years of horror in front of us!

Because they think in 2 weeks regime will be changed and Iran will be defeated. They call such things miscalculation.

I just hope Russia starts a big offensive on Ukraine.

Iran army denies launching drone attack on Azerbaijan​

Iran’s armed forces have denied having launched a drone attack on Azerbaijan after Baku said at least two Iranian drones hit the country, wounding two people, AFP reports.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran … denies its armed forces launched a drone toward the Republic of Azerbaijan,” the general staff of the armed forces said in a statement, according to state TV.

“Such actions by the Zionist regime, aimed at disrupting relations between Muslim countries in various ways, are not unprecedented.”

Not really. Any major Iranian military asset is now in the "it moves, it dies" category.

More than that: "it exists, it dies" category.

More than that: "it exists, it dies" category.

Not really. There are assets hidden deep in tunnels that will remain untouched., as long as they are not used.

Sir i wont believe us. They always deny there losses.

It's usually been quite the opposite.

US, hitherto, has always been a professional fighting force in terms of acknowledging and honouring their losses.

However, I do caveat that with the unpredictable nature of the new American regime. For this regime, middle eastern conflict is to be perceived through the lens of judeo-christian rapture and armageddon, for which "divinely ordained victory" may need to be "marketed" in a novel way. This new informational paradigm does indeed raise the possibility that major losses (e.g. of jets or ships) would need hiding, for optics.

So the jury remains open on these F15 losses.

Are you sure that Iran should take on a fight with all of its neighbours?

All of the neighbours are the ones enabling attacks on Iran, aren't they ? They cannot keep bullying Iran just on account of being neighbours.

I think Iran gave them a lot of leeway for a long time but just attacking Israel alone is not getting Iran anything anymore, unless those neighbours stop supporting israel.

Hello from the FT newsroom, where we are busy covering the sixth day of the US and Israel’s war on Iran.

Missiles and drones are streaking across the Middle East, a vital energy highway is in paralysis and hundreds — including Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and six US soldiers — are confirmed dead. And yet, it remains unclear exactly why US President Donald Trump decided to launch this war — and therefore what might bring it to an end.

Current and former Israeli officials tell the FT that Israel is preparing for a multi-week military onslaught alongside the US to fully “dismantle” key pillars of Iran’s theocratic state. But as our US national editor Edward Luce writes, “anyone who claims to know where this conflict will go, including Trump, is bluffing”.

there was a post in previous pages, ME countries had offered complete closure of oil refineries for 2 months

that would be a disaster for the global economy, if these oil refineries stop

ordinary people wont survive that shock

as far as i can remember, Pak. could not survive a month of oil subsidy in March 2022 and nearly went bankrupt

USA has planned for a month long campaign, I sincerely hope it finishes before that

Wasting precious missiles. Should focus on Israel only

Again, as I have said previously, intervening countries are INTERCEPTING those missiles aimed at Israel.

Folks on the forum seem to misunderstand what neutrality entails.

Those intervening countries have an option to be genuinely neutral - either allow overflight of assets of BOTH belligerent nations, or of NEITHER.

If Israel is permitted overflight but Iran is shot down, then a side has been taken during active hostilities. Iran simply has no choice but to engage intervening nations that shoot down its missiles while allowing Israel safe overflight.
