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

[Musings]

It's your own deterrence that can guarantee peace.Pakistan's military weight doesn't count.

Your name.
You might as well use - worlds biggest dick as your user name. No need on a forum where we try to have a flowing conversation.

I'm curious. Does IRGC have any plans for ground invasion of Bahrain and Kuwait in case things got worse ? and how will the IRGC transport troops hmmm

No, there is no ground invasion happening of Arab countries by Iran. Makes zero sense and Iran doesn’t have the ability to provide logistics to those forces across the Persian Gulf.

Bad strategy, all plans must be on table.
anyway, they know better than me.

Unlikely - Iran lacks the ability to protect any meaningful concentration of troops or armour in the open right now. It will turn into Highway of Death very quickly.

When did China sell Iran J-10s? In what fantasy world do you live in?

You pitched J-10A to us. Does it surprise you that we weren't interested in it? When we asked you for J-10C, you refused to sell it.

Well, guess what? The weapons you sold them is being used against Iran in the war. You didn't just sell them weapons. You gave them ToT and set up production lines too.

Iran also does not consider Japan to be an enemy of China. And we also think that Taiwan is a friend of China. If you want to live in delusions, feel free to do that.

You have been actively selling game-changing weapons to Arabs like long-range missiles and drones while refusing to sell Iran defensive weapons. This will be recorded in history of our relations.

There is no evidence to prove that Iran has ever requested to purchase J-10C from China.

China once sold the production line and complete technology of C802 anti-ship missile and B611 tactical missile as requested by Iran.

Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates purchased the WL-2 production line in 2017.

If Arab countries and Iran continue to engage in internal strife, the winners will be Israel and the United States, and you will both be losers.

The power gap between China and Japan is not suitable as a reference for Iran and Arab countries.

China’s relationship with Taiwan is similar to its relationship with Iran and organizations such as the KDPI. China has never established ties with any Iranian separatist organizations.

US doesn’t need a middle man - it is perfect capable of brokering “peace” by itself.

Iran has laid down the terms extremely clearly.

Iran cannot afford another meek “peace deal”.

Future of Muslims are at steak!!

During the Nixon administration (early 1970s), Pakistan acted as a crucial secret bridge for the USA to open diplomatic relations with China.

Pakistanis is trying hard but I am sure Trump & Satanyahu will do something to sabotage any peace deal. Great effort by Pakistanis.

Should be appreciated by everyone and not to be slagged off .

Any ceasefire will need a guarantor. Happy if Pakistan plays this role. If Israel breaches it we will have an excuse then....

Unfortunately China wont take that role then someone needs to but they need to be able to enforce peace.

Any more info, was it hit? were the ASBMs intercepted by accompanying destroyers?

I think these kind of missile launches are down to keep the Americans off guard

and also show that if they try Straits of Hormuz they will fail

they dont necessarily want to hit these warships but rather to give off a signal?

although I would like to agree that Iran should hit them

First rule, when you post here, don't call what others post as "rants". Otherwise everything you post is no more than a silly rant. Hope you get the point.

It did sound like a rant. You started to talk about the role of Shiite people in the Pakistani system while I hadn't mentioned it or challenged it at all. Neither do I care about it. I don't care whether a person is Shiite, Sunni, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist or of any other faith or religion. I judge them by their words and actions.

Second, there aren't that many brokers in this space. You can question our government's motivations till kingdom come, they won't solve this war for you.

Quite frankly, I don't remember when Iran asked you to solve this war for us. It's our war and we have to fight it, we never asked you to "solve" it for us. It was your own initiative because you are also being affected by this war, particularly economically.

Third, not a single one of your point stands to the test of time and previous mediation efforts.

All countries that "broker" are essentially messengers. Unless Iran had a diplomatic presence in the US or vice versa, you do need messengers to get things started.

Well, a messenger does not draft a proposal after a meeting. Oman was a broker in the US-Iran nuclear talks. Did it draft a plan of its own?

Pakistan does not need to have "military weight". That is not the job of the broker/messenger. What weight did Qatar have brokering peace in Gaza? Or Turkey brokering Russia-Ukraine war? These are all efforts from "neutral" entities. Pakistan's own military weight is of no consequence here. The only question that matters is are both sides ok enough to use the good offices of Pakistan to relay messages. That is it. Nothing more, nothing less.

Refer to my earlier point. A broker does not draft a solution of its own. It just facilitates indirect exchanges, but it doesn't propose a framework for the two parties to agree upon.

Qatar is one of the founders and financers of Hamas. Do you seriously think that Pakistan-Iran relation is comparable to Hamas-Qatar relations?

That speaks to your lack of understanding/information. Pakistan did NOT propose anything. It took the list from both sides and conveyed them. This happened before the lists were made public on social media by both sides. Iran is obviously going to get NOTHING from the deal because the deal has to be negotiated. The basics of negotiating are that both sides come with their maximal positions and then some mediator/broker tries to help bridge the difference. So not sure where you got this "one-sided deal" story from. There is nothing factual in it.

No, it did not take the list from both sides. You seem to be gravely misinformed and yet you pretend to be an expert on it. Pakistan came up with its own "two-phase truce" solution which both parties rejected immediately and had never even talked about a two phase deal. Iran had made it quite clear that any truce must be final and have guarantees. Iran had already rejected the idea of a ceasefire. So, your proposal, or whatever it is called in technical terms, directly went against Iran's stated stance.

In the first phase of your proposal, the US achieves one of its main objectives in this war (reopening of the Strait of Hormuz) without giving any concessions. It also receives 45 days for replenishing its interceptors that are nearly over, as well as their standoff weapons. Also, it's a ceasefire, meaning the US can resume the war after 45 days. If you cannot see how that is one-sided and completely against Iran's interests, then I cannot help you more than this.

At the end of the day, Iran is taking damage, as is the Gulf, Israel and the US. Maybe they will avail of the good offices offered by Pakistan, and maybe they won't. I just mentioned that Pakistan's motivation is to see this war end and it is not out of concern for the US.

The Persian Gulf. Iran is quite fine with absorbing damages. It's a small cost that Iran has to pay for securing its national interests and security.

agreed it would be a suicide mission and as soon as they withdraw US will hit them like "Highway of Death" which the British had to clear up in 1991 and some of them died of depression and mental illness it was so horrific for some
