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

[Desert]

A pure fission nuclear bomb (the simplest model) is not suitable to be launched in a missile due to weight/power ratio.

Only a Hydrogen fission-fusion nuclear bomb is suitable to be launched in a missile from Iran to Israel.

North Korea spent 11 years from 2006 to 2017, to develop a hydrogen bomb from a pure fission nuclear bomb.

So even if Iran gets a nuclear bomb today, they wont be able to launch in a missile until 11 years after.

The United States and the Soviet Union successfully deployed fission-only warheads on missiles as early as the 1950s. For example, the U.S. Mk-5 (1,400 kg) and the Soviet SS-3 were missile-deliverable fission weapons.

But what exactly the daily barrage of BM is targeting ? How many HVT has been destroyed so far ? Their airports are operational. At least I don't know about any large scale destruction of their Weapon Factory/ silos.
If they are doing this to lower the morale of the citizen then fine. Else wastage of BMs.

Airports can't be taken out that easily. Israel has full censorship in place, so no BDA unless Israel allows it for emotional support.

Why aren’t American Israeli or Arab navies going through those straits than

HOLY CRAP! SecWar Pete Hegseth just dropped a truth nuke on NATO

“You don't have much of an ALLIANCE if you have countries that are not willing to STAND with you when you need them!”

NATO is officially on notice.

President Trump never forgets.

“Donald Trump’s NATO allies are increasing resistance to getting involved in his Iran war, risking a deeper rupture in the already strained military bloc.”

“Spain closed its airspace to US jets Monday, and Italy denied US military aircraft bound for the Middle East permission to land at a base in Sicily, according to a person familiar with the matter. Poland said it has no plans to relocate its Patriot batteries, following a report that the US has suggested Warsaw consider sending one of its systems to shore up air defenses in the Middle East.”

Pakistan and China grand unveiling seems to be a useless nothing burger

Really???? China fully backing Pakistan's efforts and now even Iranian Ambassador showing support. This is arguably the strongest intitiative out there right now

Pakistan, China issue 5-point initiative for restoring peace in Middle East

Call for the immediate cessation of hostilities and the start of peace talks as soon as possible.

Talks not productive because of KSA being KSA. Despite best intentions of Pakistan and Turkiye.

When the differences are deep, old and unbridgeable due to fundamentally different religious beliefs on both sides, negotiations will always be tricky, and any agreements tenuous.

Granted, alas so far there are no point to talks. Pakistan and Turkiye tried. To no avail.

A. He was not a troll. You are more of a troll if you are going to accuse him of ridiculous claims like "5th Gen Kowsars". I used to read his posts. He never claimed that.

B. He lives in Iran so we don't know what he is going threw or if he is still alive or not. I hope he is well.

I agree. Even if you disagree completely with him, nobody should laugh of him. Even if his ideas can be unbelivable he deserves respect. Moreover some iranians have shown defeatism while his faith even if sometimes could be childish have proved be more consistent than others.

I didn't know he was living inside Irán. Hope he is well also.

I agree - Once ground troops attempt landing in Iran, then the dynamics of the war change completely as that is when the coffins really start flowing back to the USA and it will be difficult to pull back as there will be the need to "avenge" and "revenge" etc. This war at that point will take a life of its own then.

American boots on the ground is a very very, very bad idea!! I mentioned in my earlier post. This is going to make the Bay of Pigs debacle look like a family beach holiday.
