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

[TallarnDesertRaider]

Take that with a truck load of salt

Yes, as far as I can tell, this originates from Politico.eu (not Politico.com, which are two separate entities), citing two 'unnamed sources'. Honestly it doesn't really make a lot of sense on the surface of it, as the Russians have experienced, there is little to no assurance that the US will follow through on any deals at all. Lavrov has sounded off on whatever happened in Anchorage a few times already...

If the pilot was injured how did he manage to fly the damaged F-35 back to base ? Was it on some sort of auto-pilot ? We will probably see a film someday about this heroic pilot who came to liberate Iranian women from oppressive chadors by doing a gun run , got injured by sneaky evil Aye-raneans but was tough enough to fly all the way back to America and land on base!

Exactly! Hollywood.

1 billion on Hezbollah, even if this is true number, is still pice of cake compared to Arabian and zio trillions, because Trump just gave them second wing, rebirth to the most powerful non state player in the world... 200 millions for Houthis is lowest possible for such valuable allies, they can carry low-level conflict in key area on their own...

Smartest move from Iran in any case...

@dbc how much did US and GCC invest in creating and maintaining ISIS,only to dismember and fight it to destroy it years later?
Let's not even talk about all the $ the west invested in SDF, JUNDULLAH, Al Qaeda, other terrorist and militia groups that are nowhere to be seen today.

And meanwhile, Iranian investments in AoR forces are still paying off today!!

If any investment cannot go down or lose money, its not an investment, so you're basically just mad at iran for something that can happen to any country.

MBS sidelined many Saudi royals. This is an opportunity for Iran.

For someone who has been in office as long as he has, Graham is an idiot.

The US has had a long line of SecDefs who were never of flag rank. Including one who was an E-5 or was it E-6? Hegseth would be in the lower tier amongst them.

The point to which I responded earlier was that, since you, in your earlier post, said most posters are making it look like a crusade, the fact that your own people of power, whether idiots or not, turned it into a holy war, you cannot blame the other side for not treating it as such. Just yesterday, your war sec. made another controversial comment when asked about Afghanistan. Instead of saying that both Iran and Afghanistan are our enemies, he instead said both Shia and Sunni are, therefore labeling the whole muslim world as enemies, including the so-called Middle Eastern allies that Trump so regularly boosts about.

The head of a state shows the character of the nation he leads, specially in a democracy.

Trump is a braggart, arrogant, egomaniac, narcissist, blowhard and a show-off.

Trump is a true representation of his nation.

This guy is going to collapse the United States.

Qatar and Saudi Arabia cannot protect their most important gas facilities, they aren't enough interceptors but Israel is still shooting down Iranian missiles

Shows US prioritized Israeli security first and foremost over everyone else, including US troops and interests

It depends how many the Saudis and other GCC countries ordered.

On the other hand, the US gives funds for everything that Israel needs. The Americans have taken it upon themselves to safeguard the security if Israel as if it's one of their own states.

 

[ParthianLord]

its not f22 where production has stopped ,

they can absolutely repair it , if it maneged to fly all the way back to KSA

If the pilot has shrapnel damage, then you have to assume that structural components and systems of the platform may have shrapnel damage as well. The bulkhead may also have some damaged given how close that is to the pilot and to the point of impacct. At which point do you decide to try and take apart the platform to replace structural components with the costs involved, versus saying this is now a spare parts hulk for components and systems that were not damanged.

Just because something landed (and in this case, it is being reported that it "landed hard") does not mean it is repairable, it may well become a hulk for spare parts.

We don't have pictures of the platform so all this is speculation at this point.
