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

[Immortals]

Am willing to guess you done at least basic research on SIGINT and did not like what you found.

20 years of studying Iranian military, I can tell you with high levels of confidence nearly all finished Chinese weapon systems came during the 90s to early 00s.

There was no real attempt to ever procure big ticket items from China. Most of the military ties was in the realm of components and raw materials and solid fuel mixers for missiles and laser ring gyroscopes.

No fancy radars (although there was some cooperation on radar R&D at company level).
No big air defense systems
No missiles or supersonic cruise missiles
No warships (although some armed speedboats were bought in the 90s)
No airforce (after the failed J-10C negotiations)

Iran preferred to rely on Russian and whatever it could reverse engineer from Israeli, American, and Russian designs. There was very little inspiration to introduce the Chinese ecosystem into the armed forces or reverse engineer Chinese equipment. Iran didn’t even reverse engineer LONG drone despite having access to it via shoot downs in Yemen war. Meanwhile it reverse engineered Israeli and American drones it could find.

Then you have to re-read what Clausewitz originally said: War is the continuation of POLICY by other means.

Trust is a side issue. POLICY is the main issue. If you cannot find yourself to trust Iran under the mullahs, what do you believe is their policy if Iran is a nuclear weapons state? Keep in mind, you could be wrong, just like anyone else here.

War is the continuation of politics by other means!
Carl von Clausewitz.
Politics my guy...
Or you quoting some clusterfritz?
In bolds too...

So, what happened? Did Iran attack Israeli energy sector?

After this war ends, the entire Middle Eastern Islamic countries will be battered, leaving only those of North Africa being spared from destruction.

Middle East has been battered since first Gulf War and nobody is leaving it. Material infrastructure can be rebuilt but a forward posture against Israel will be needed to prevent future destruction

Sometime shortly after 1700MST tomorrow (0330 Tehran time), we'll know for sure.

It's still hilarious, nevertheless. The US has become the laughing stock of the world.

The Iranian Mullahs are the reason why the GCC has submitted itself to the Zionists of the USA. The iranian mullahs have inflicted constant instability in the regioan, exactly as required by the previous British Empire as well as the Anglo-Saxon American Empire and now the Zionist American super power. Otherwise these Arabs are the would be sons of Shah Faisal who believed they would go back to living in the desert eating only dates and drinking only goat milk.

How old are you?

The pro western Shah had seized UAE islands a territorial dispute that is still ongoing. GCC regimes were installed before the Iranian revolution...
It's like those zionist talking points that they've been having eternal dispute with Arabs in Palestine... while they landed a generation to two ago. Miliekowsky, polak born in the US to a professor at Cornell born in Warsaw.

Just dig a little before running with narrative often putting carts before the horse.
