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



Looks like Iran was trying to access the enriched uranium just before the war started
 
Looks like IRGCASF AN-74 to me.

I'm seriously proud of Iran.



Who can fight against Israel and the US at the same time and still being able to stand tall after 8 days of the most brutal bombings?

Not only that, Iran also managed to paralyze the entire region and force it into submission.

One of the greatest military feats in history.

Incredible. Iran did the unthinkable.
 
Most drones being used are above the distance limit manpads can reach, they aren't useful in that regards I don't think. If there are SO helicopters that do enter, then I'd expect manpads are already distributed and ready for them by the ground troops, I'd be surprised if Iranian military doesn't already have big stockpiles of them from before and are currently spread out through various units.

Yeah, I thought Iran already had MANPADs.

“Bodyguards carrying cell phones”

Yeah I don’t buy that excuse. If Iran didn’t learn from Hezbollah deposition attacks that all western cellphones are bugged then I don’t know what to tell you.

Even Bin Laden knew 25 years ago not to be around any cell phones.
 

something i came across, last moments of iranian sailors perhaps ?
 
The situation is unfolding as expected.
I believed the USAF and IDF would wait until Iran's missiles were sufficiently depleted before launching attacks on oil infrastructure.
Once Iran's retaliatory capabilities are neutralized, it will be unable to strike back at Arab oil fields or Israeli refineries.
The US will observe Iran's depletion and declining morale, then gradually expand bombing of civilian infrastructure, destroying oil fields and power plants to send Iran back to the Middle Ages.
The concept of controlling escalation absolutely cannot work against the USAF, supported by a global supply network and capable of projecting virtually unlimited ammunition.
Iran has devised a completely flawed strategy based on the illusion that the enemy's ammunition will eventually run out.
Aggression will not cease unless attacks inflict pain on the enemy and cause human casualties.
Controlling escalation is only possible when there is a balance of power between the two sides. Iran is currently fighting alone against the industrial might of the entire planet; balance is impossible. Therefore, under its current strategy, being forced into unconditional surrender is only a matter of time.
Generally true, but I see some differences.
1. I think they focused a lot on eliminating the leadership. Now, it seems it was a good decision, as Iran is fighting the war autonomously without leadership, making it less effective.
2. First few days, the focus was on eliminating missile & drone capacity. They seem to have achieved it as the reports of missile and drone intensity suggest it has come down from day 1.
3. They are focusing now on energy and infrastructure. That should reduce missile and drone capabilities.
4. But I don't think there will be an unconditional surrender or need for it. If the missile and drone capabilities are gone, there is no sense in continuing the war. Trump will be eager to declare victory and go home. He likes quick wins.
