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

[wangdefa]

How can iran still not protect any of their top officials.
Everyone of any importance gets snitched and targeted.
This is beyond suspicious.

If you watch this post from the beginning, you will know the reason. As far as I know, there are too many factions within Iran engaged in internal political struggles. Some of their people even want to overthrow the current government and even call for external forces to intervene. When war comes, they are still engaged in political struggles internally. We all know that when internal struggles are intense, someone will always take the risk of bringing in external forces to eliminate political opponents.
Even in times of war, political struggles cannot be stopped. This is the long-term effect of the environment.
Just as it has been so far, Iran has shifted from a campaign of revenge to one of destroying the surrounding oil economies, and even seeks to destroy the economies of all neighboring countries. The direction of the action has changed, with two extreme directions emerging: one side continues the war, while the other seeks negotiations. The two factions are still in internal conflict.

Israel, starting from its invasion of Palestine, evolved from a controlled war to an invasion of neighboring countries. When the situation became uncontrollable, the consequences were severe. In recent years, Israel has been perpetually caught in a cycle of war and public pressure, sinking into a quagmire. Similarly, Iran is currently pushing the situation from a controllable range into an uncontrollable risk zone.
I think Iran's leadership needs a cool head and not to be influenced by ideology.

I think due to the vastness and being out of the technology loop (besides the fragile economy and inflation). These things opened up so many vulnerabilities that Tehran is still struggling to counter them. Tehran lacked intelligence exercises/cooperation with the West, which can make a country on par.

Such as a 1999 rocket attack on the US embassy in Pakistan made us realise that the US is surveilling Islamabad through satellite. They themselves gave the photos of the white car travelling from Islamabad to the tribal areas. Then, when we took the US-aid camera system for the parliament live broadcast, it was found to be compromised. Or even in the 2005 earthquake, we were vigilant of foreign aid helicopters' travel patterns and so on.

Remember, Qatar arrested 5-6 Indians spying for Israel, I guess. Now compare that to Iran's span and diversity. There could be many gaps in human and technological intelligence.

I believe we also unfairly blame Tehran for Kalbhushan, as there have been many crevices in their system, and India took advantage of that.

Iran should just put them out of their misery, problem solved.

Man these Gulfy don't got a choice either no? They host US bases and US/ IDF aircraft using their airspace/ bases for recovery, refueling/ rearming and whatnot no? Many US/ IDF attacks have been launched from GCC countries on Iran. We know this.

Pakistan is not a fool and just wants this war stopped before it seriously harms us.

We can't afford to take sides in this fight bhai. We are friends with both sides.

We are concerned about our own survival which seems increasingly in jeopardy.

Then it is also our mistake that why we didn't diversify or create enough leverage (on Israel or Iran or the US) to counter such a situation.
Hope (that the Gulf will keep progressing and providing the white/blue-collar jobs forever) is not a good strategy.

the israelies have taught their puppies well,talk big and then lobby / blackmail others to do your dirty work

 

[safriz]

they gave the US military bases on their territory and let the US use their territory to launch attacks against Iran, and they are the ones feeling threatened by Iran

great logic

Arabs have similar reservations about Iran using sectarian proxies against them.
Its the holier than thou argument.

Yup. They are innocent and can't do anything about their shortcomings.
My bad . Sorry

Over 7 waves of BMs have targeted Israel since midnight local time compared to just 3 waves the night before during the strange lull.

probably wanted to give israelis a taste of what peace was like, as they may have forgotten from the constant sirens past month

Notice how they don’t record the whole thing when impact is certain….

So do you believe you have been pessimistic to quickly just because there has been lull every so often
