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

[RescueRanger]

Why would they anyway want to.. missiles do the job

Because someone here wanted to propose a land invasion of Bahrain - that is who @Ali_Baba was replying to if you read the reply chain.

 

[Aggregate]

More missiles have been launched from Iran into Israel than in the previous week. Hezbollah has also increased its missile launches.

Didn't Pete Hegseth say he destroyed Iran ... THEN defeated them, THEN destroyed their missile launching capability, 2 weeks ago ?

Or maybe he was recounting some C&C Red Alert mission that he won in his childhood, as his fight against Iran.

Hope IRGC can use these videos to improve target acquisition and accuracy

It certainly appears to have caused damage despite not being a direct hit

Haaretz: Yesterday witnessed the launch of about 20 missiles at Israel from #Iran

Haaretz: Iran launched 470 missiles at Israel over 25 days, with the pace accelerating during the past 7 days

It was more like a warning shot

I certainly believe Iran can draw out this war through use of drones + some missiles a day

It just needs to extend this to two months for Israel and US to realize

Israel is regularly targeting paramedics in Lebanon :

Urgent | Lebanese Ministry of Health: Two paramedics martyred in an Israeli airstrike on the city of Nabatieh in the south of the country

They don't have landing craft that can support that large a deployment - what are they going to carry an invasion force on? Oil tankers that are like sitting ducks ?

I am talking about after the war if and when Americans leave that region. That was the scenario, I am not talking about a scenario when Americans are still there. The Saudis and UAEs won't be able to defend Bahrain. They don't need landing craft, Bahrain is too small, before attacking they need to cut off the causeway, bomb for afew days whatever police or army they have and last with small ships few thousand troops who can take cars and trucks from Manama city, there is almost no credible troops to oppose them and the citizenry will welcome them.

Doubtful. Still very accurate but barely missed.

That would be great but would they do it ?????

 

[Arash]

Professor Marandi reveals that Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar are literally FUNDING the US war on Iran. They are paying the Americans to fight while allowing their airspace and bases to be used. Iran will demand massive reparations.



+ Bahrain, Kuwait are involved too?

I have doubt regarding qatar, but the rest, Yeah certainly...

 

[Bengal71]

we are not using the HEU anyway. the point of leverage like the HEU is to know when to use it to extract concessions that we want. there are some options:

(1) total resistance - fight war as long as possible, and try to develop nukes. suffer massive damage, with no clear end path, unless nukes are somehow developed or the global economic situation deteriorates so the US is forced to offer favourable terms to Iran

(2) accept weak ceasefire and return to status quo - weak and vulnerable without funds to redevelop as US economic war continues and Israel returns to 'mow the lawn' again in 6-12 months

(3) make major compromises to change nature of relationship with the US, give up nuclear program, make missile compromises, and get significant sanctions relief

2 is probably the most likely.

(3) make major compromises to change nature of relationship with the US, give up nuclear program, make missile compromises, and get significant sanctions relief - only for a short time, once most of your capabilities are gone, they will come back and destroy you like Iraq and Lybia.

I agree 2 is most likely but 1 is the only path to freedom.

 

[Bengal71]

Yes, 2 and 3 will lead to regime change. There is no way that Israel would allow an Islamic regime with anti-Israel sentiments stay in power.

1 is the best option of the three, but it is probably too late for that. Khamenei really screwed Iran with his fatwa and strategic patience.

We could use the HEU if we could convert it into uranium metal.

Can 90% HEU be purchased from DPRK? That could be another option.
