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

[Fatman17]

Joe Kent, head of the National Counterterrorism Center, announced his resignation over the U.S. and Israeli war on Iran.

Kent posted on X: “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.’’

Thanks for the correction. I will correct the person who reported it to me.

You might be correct too.

there is a way, but we haven't seen it used with any success

You won’t see it, 2-ton are reserved for military bases not civilian centers.

Will have to wait till after the war. They used Haj Qassem for the first time today, wasn’t used in 12 day war.

same story as June

interesting number to track is the number of missiles fired at Israel: latest estimates I saw were 340-400. should see material improvement in impact rates once the number exceeds 600, if June is any guide.

this guy estimates Israel has 40-50 Arrow interceptors left as of 2 days ago, suggesting Israel did not fully restore their interceptor inventories since June, while Iran did restore MRBM inventories.

Well I like Ben Reuter but he is wrong here. There are 2 different arrows

Arrow-2 endo atmospheric
Arrow-3 exo (maybe this is the one he says 40-50 exist, fair since these are very expensive)
THAAD exo
David Sling endo
Patriot endo
Navy based AEGIS (SM family) - exo

So you can’t draw much conclusions on just one system for Israel.

Exactly, Money and what!
They do fear and zionist attack in Qatar laid bare American priorities. That America is not in charge ... not even for its own protection.
This has further been cemented by abandoning gulf monarchies prior to the attack on Iran... leaving them to cope and deal. Disposables for the cause of zion... their wealth and hubris in the trash can.

Anyways, Saudis needed a back up. Pakistan used to maintain a presence till 90's when US pressured Saudis to end it.

At the end of the day Vali al'amr needs a foreign patron to maintain grip over the state. Pakistan provides basic regime security, defense against foreign invasion or domestic upheaval.

Let's say there is an uprising to come in Saudia, will Pakistan intervene ?

USAF dropped bunkers busters on strait. It’s clear that Trump is gonna try to force it open.

Early options to degrade capability before main mission starts.

Imo this is where us marines are headed

It is only Shia Arabs in Iraq and Lebanon who came to the aid of Iran in this war. So not sure how you can generalize all Arabs.

I meant Sunni Arabs

“President Trump went to war against Iran without explaining his strategy to the American people or the world. It now appears that he may not have had much of a strategy at all,” writes the editorial board.

I agree. Pakistan and Saudi defence thing was for defensive purposes, not for being used when one of the member country starts an illegal war. What clowns Saudis are . We need to leave this defence agreement. Saudis are unhinged war mongers who will they attack next?

when did ksa start an illegal war?
