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

[Immortals]

Iran’s FM and President need to stop undermining the war effort. This type of talk only eases oil pressure

 

[Blain2]

Carpet bombing what? It's a big country...

So was Vietnam. I am hoping he does not resort to it out of desperation.

 

[Feroze]

They have their own problems...

Correct, sir. I am not questioning that.

Iran is 5x bigger than Vietnam.

Not even remotely the same comparison.

This war has exposed many things, but one fact makes me happy. Ordinary Muslims are not sectarian. Sectarian voices may be loud but they are in minority.

Sunni affiliated GCC are being pounded by Shia Iran yet the Sunni population is supporting Iran’s actions rather than siding with the GCC out of sectarian affiliation. This shows that ordinary Muslims are not driven by blind hatred. We are all Muslims and we stand with Haq against Batil. This is the bottom line.

 

[SecularNationalist]

Yes but Iran needs to be more supportive of Pakistan's Kashmir cause.

They have their own problems...

Iran did support Kashmir issue verbally. I remember during 2019 conflict late khameini said Kashmir is a trouble left by the Britishers. Indirectly he meant it should have been part of Muslim majority pakistan.

Our leaders are khabees. General population still better.

All this is irrelevant right now when their nation is at war. Lets get back ok topic.

It's scary tbh. Bcz they can do something stupid to restore their fear and reputation.

strategic win and then what? How will Iran rebuild while maintaining hostilities with the US? Rinse and repeat of whac a mole of Iranian leader followed by bombing, droning and missile attacks every six months? Persisting would require continuing to divert funding to the military at the expense of investments in the economy. I suspect the Iranian people have had enough of this vicious cycle. I once claimed Trump wouldn't attack Iran not with the mid terms looming. I was wrong, he doesn't care about the elections or public opinion. So while he is President, are we in a destructive loop?

Anything is possible but Iranians will rebuild, slowly but surely. Chinese and Russians are a market for them and they will have access to those.

The US/Israelis may try to resort to the periodic "mowing the lawn" approach, but it isn't a one-sided affair. Attacking Iran has global economic impact as we are experiencing currently. Will they risk disrupting the global economy and the security of Israeli citizens and those in the Gulf every other year? Iranians will continue to build their rocket/missile forces. This is their only deterrent and they will not give that up for anything.

For Iran, this is a war of survival. When that is the case, investment in economy etc. becomes a secondary consideration (same as the case in Ukraine).

 

[hussain0216]

Why should a strategic ally of Israel, get special treatment ?!?! We saw Modi call Israel the Mother, and India the father(or vice versa) etc ....

Allowing India to import Iranian oil is the USA's way of attempting to circumvent Iran's control of oil, as India will resell. We can see that with Russian oil that India is laundering and reselling.

If too many countries circumnavigate the blockade, even with Iran's blessing

It makes the entire blockade useless

Any oil coming out of Hormuz even to friendly nations, eases demand and the whole point of the blockade for Iran is to trigger economic crises forcing the U.S and West to agree to terms



India especially is known as a reseller and will seek to just move oil to others and they are absolutely not to be trusted especially after modi-netenyahu love fest

Yes, I fear the same. First carpet bombing, then nukes. It's how Trump and his simple minded minions think.

Nuke to do what? Kill millions of Iranians and destroy all of the Gulf? The American government cares about Israel but not to the extent of destroying its future markets all over the ME.

Dude Iran is fighting against the US+Israel+NATO+Europe+All their forward bases all at the same time right now

Pakistan Kashmir is not the priority right now, and Iran already talked about that previously and said the Kashmir issue should be solved based on the will of the people living there
