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

[Raider 21]

Saudi Arabia is not innocent when its air bases and air space is at the disposal of The U.S to carry out illegal attacks on Iran.

Then why doesn't Iran also be obligated to hit Japan, South Korea and Italy.....

Iran is also enjoying the hits on the Arab world, they finally got their chance

the problem is Pezeshkian opened his mouth again and then US equities rose and oil prices fell.

The real problem is that nothing has changed after this war either. It seems that the same system that pushed us towards war with the US and Israel with their corruption and stupidity is still in place.

1. Iran is still in the NPT. The parliament hasn't passed the termination of our cooperation with the IAEA.
2. Iran hasn't built the nuke yet. We're cooked without nukes.
3. Pezeshkiyan is still the president of Iran and hasn't been impeached yet.

Bani-Sadr did less harm than him to our economy and country's foreign policies and he was impeached. I don't know why he is treated differently.

If the IR thinks that the old policies before the war will work after this round of war ends, they're 100% wrong. Once Iran survives this war, any signal of weakness will put us in 10x more trouble. First and foremost, it will embolden Arabs to seek reparations through the UN Security Council, for example.

A weak Iran will be crucified once this war ends. And it will be attacked and isolated and humiliated until it cracks and implodes from within.
A strong nuclear-armed Iran will emerge as a middle power in the world. Even as a low-tier global power.

That is a small number for the task. Considering Iran will want to keep as many of those intact for post war period to serve as a deterrence.

Consider it an exisistential supply vs war supply. Existential supply is 1500. War supply is likely 300-500. What they're willing to use for the duration of the war. It is not enough to contend against Israel.

Other points you made make sense.

I don't think 1500 missiles is good enough for deterrence against Israel. You would need to fire like 2000 missiles plus the drones to depleted all of Israel's interceptors. When their interceptors is out, then you need fire another 1000 missiles at them; assuming 800 will impact that will cause a considerable damage to their military and civilian infrastructures.

If that is the case, Iran should destroy Saudi, Kuwait, Bahrain, and uae oil and gas. trump wants pain for the Iranians to force capitulation so the straits reopen so there is no economic collapse blamed on the trump war. If that is the case, then no reason other than provide a closing of most middle east oil and gas at the source, so there is no reason to cause pain to Iranian people. trump would destroy Iranian oil and gas and it would be a worse global energy crisis. Iran could up fees to 10 million a ship to pass the straits and recoup damages.

And that's exactly what Iran is going to do.

Because those bases are not directly used for aggression against Iran.
There have been cases of direct aggression on Iranian territory from US bases in the Persian Gulf. For example, the US has fired HIMARS on our territory from Kuwait and the Emirates.

The US hasn't launched IRBMs against us from South Korea and Japan, have they?

Because Iran doesn't have the capability to hit that far.

So, what do you think? Do you think it was a missile city?

Can somebody confirm if this looks like an explosion caused by a bunker buster?

It seems to me that they hit something on the surface because with a bunker buster, you'd expect some sort of delay before the primary explosion as it penetrates deep in the ground.

I suspect it wasn't a missile base. Probably something related to the IRIAA or artillery storage.

And that's exactly what Iran is going to do.

Nay sayers are going to say that would hand the US oil and gas production dominance. Except, it would allow export of Iraqi and omani oil. And Qatar gas.

If Iran does not do this, Iran would face the prospect of a UN war on Iran, along with sanctions and UN legitimacy to a global war on Iran, rather than a trump war on Iran that nations hate trump for the war. Or face defeat and trump victory.

UAE is forcing the hand of Iran here in going to the UN. trump in switching to more and more collective punishment of civilians to get Iran to open the straits is forcing the hand of Iran.

Keep Hormuz closed, shut down oil and gas in most gulf states.

Could be, based on the scale of secondary explosions.
