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

[PakAl]

Yes, I would say Iran and Pakistan didn't have very good relation because of difference of religious sects, but they were not enemies.

Pakistan and Iran had historical brotherly ties, the down fall was the Islamic revolution, Iran had big issues with GCC and we are let's just say friends with GCC, Iran then moved towards our rival India. Nothing to do with sects.

Because these single frigates cannot stand up to the strongest navy on earth.

So whether they were altogether or apart they weren’t going to do anything.

No, whatever naval asset Iran had, they should had remained combat ready and should had a defined role rather than sitting duck.

See below, the U.S. most certainly was tracking the ship. I've heard through a contact that the U.S. Navy withdrew from the exercise before the strike.

By the rules of the MILAN 2026 exercise, the vessel was defenseless under the exercise that India hosted.

The Iranian warship torpedoed by a U.S. submarine in the Indian Ocean this week had departed Indian waters just days earlier, completing a port visit and multinational naval exercise hosted by New Delhi.

The U.S. Navy sent no surface warship to MILAN. Its only official presence was a P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft from Patrol Squadron 4. The guided-missile destroyer USS Pinckney had been slated to attend but was diverted to Singapore on Feb. 15 before the exercise began, for reasons the Navy has not publicly disclosed.

Iranian Ship Was Leaving Indian Naval Exercise When Sunk, Raising Concerns in New Delhi

The Iranian frigate sunk by a U.S. submarine last week had just left an Indian naval exercise. Now India's political opposition is demanding answers.

It should had not left Iranian waters at first place when war was imminent any time. Your country was on the verge of getting attacked by mighty Americans you allowed that ship to go to some other damn country without proper armament rather than protecting your shoreline.

Lots of off tangent discussions and very little on updates. The Analysts should post in another thread while this devastating war is still going on.

So the 3 F-15 shoot downs happened within visual range

Reddit

www.reddit.com

Reddit MOD cucks already removed the video and locked the thread. But from the comments it seems that people who actually saw the footage before it was deleted believe that the Kuwaiti pilot was too close to the US jets not to notice they were "friendly" planes.

ie many are implying that it was an intentional shooting and not just an accident.

Do you happen to have another link to that same video? Would be great to post it here or somewhere we can watch it directly.

Now that this war has started, the question is how/when will it stop. The example of Ukraine shows that the US/West hasn’t stopped and has kept the war against Russia going for years despite have little chance of victory.

This war will stop if one of the following happens:

1. Iran suffers a regime change or all its military hardware is destroyed. Once Israel certifies that Iran doesn’t threaten it any more they can order the US to stop.

2. Israel suffers catastrophic damage and can’t sustain it any more. In this case they will ask for a ceasefire like after the 12-day war.

3. Oil prices go through the roof in the US and the public revolts.

From Iran’s point of view, they need to work on causing 2 or 3 to happen. If they can’t, then they risk suffering 1.

well I don't think we need some azerbademjan sauce to go with our American burger and zionist fries so they should act responsibly

Zio Fries don’t sound that good. Chuck it in the trash

 

[Navid09]

wrong, Iraq already ran out of storage. and Iran is still exporting oil, since no one stops its ships from crossing the Strait.

Wouldn't American ships hit Iranian tankers?
