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

[Meengla]

Israelis not liking the war they ordered. Well, they keep electing the warmonger Netanyahu for three decades so here they are.

Even now, as President Trump alternately taunts, threatens and tries to negotiate with the leadership in Tehran, Israel is left on the sidelines. It is forced to accept whatever Washington decides — as when it received a scolding for a furious wave of airstrikes on Beirut on Wednesday that Iran protested was a violation of the day-old cease-fire.

Barely a third of Israelis believe that when Israel and the United States disagree, Israel can act on its own judgment, according to a an opinion poll released Sunday by the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv.

A separate poll also released Sunday by Agam Institute and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem found that three times as many Israelis see the war as a failure than a victory. Some 70 percent believe the cease-fire reflects an American concession to Iran, and two-thirds oppose it.

Many Israelis have become pessimistic, fatigued, disillusioned and distrustful of the information that they are receiving, the Agam-Hebrew University survey found.

It all adds up to a sense that this victory isn’t much of a victory at all, said Yaakov Katz, an Israeli analyst and co-founder of the Middle East-America Dialogue.

“What’s the Israeli story today?” he said. “It’s a narrative of a country that’s constantly fighting, and presents no alternatives except for more war.”

No.

Firstly, the Chinese Navy does not have the capability to confront the US Navy in the Persian Gulf.

Secondly, China's oil security policy is excellent, and simply interrupting oil in the Persian Gulf is unlikely to affect China's economy.



China is likely to assist Iran through military aid.

Trump has threatened China that if China provides military aid to Iran, he will increase tariffs by 50% on China.

Today, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded that restarting the tariff war is not a good choice for the United States.

In the context of Chinese language, this answer is equivalent to acknowledging that Iran will receive military assistance and accepting the resumption of the tariff war.

You must be happy. With that guy in the Office Taiwán will fall like a ripe apple.

Trump has lost his mind entirely

Very dangerous time for the world

Trump has started using religion as a justification for this war and is hosting group prayers in the white house whilst hegssth is calling for a crusade with a kaffir tattoo on him. I believe trump will try to delegitimise authority of pope in us and ordain himself as a new pope for the evangelical Zionists

'We are not supporting the blockade' — UK rejects US Hormuz move

While speaking to the BBC radio, Keir Starmer said Britain will not join the US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, stressing “We are not supporting the blockade” and that the UK “is not getting dragged in” to the US-Israel war on Iran. He emphasized the priority is reopening the strait, noting it is “vital that we get the strait open and fully open,” as roughly 20% of global oil flows pass through the key waterway.

The move has drawn wider criticism from US allies and global powers, with France, Spain, and Turkiye opposing the blockade and calling for renewed diplomacy, while China warned against escalation and urged both sides to maintain stability.

The US military has said it will enforce a blockade on Iranian ports while allowing transit through the strait for non-Iranian destinations, though questions remain over how it would be implemented.

WATCH | 'People are still searching for their family members.'

In the aftermath of one of the bloodiest days in Lebanon’s recent history—now referred to as Black Wednesday—the devastation remains stark and unresolved. In a span of minutes, Israeli airstrikes pounded Dahiye and parts of greater Beirut, leaving entire blocks reduced to rubble and communities shattered. More than 300 people were killed in roughly ten minutes, as over 160 munitions struck densely populated neighborhoods.

As of publication, at least 15 people remain missing, while another 15 bodies lie in refrigerated containers awaiting identification—an unbearable limbo for families still searching for their loved ones.

@roqchams, correspondent for The Cradle, takes us through the bombed areas of Dahiye, documenting the scale of destruction and the human toll left in the wake of the Israeli attack.

UN pushes plan to secure fertilizer shipments through Strait of Hormuz
——
A diplomatic effort is underway around a UN-backed proposal aimed at guaranteeing safe passage for fertilizer shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, the UN said on Monday. A source familiar with the talks told Reuters that the initiative has gained urgency due to mounting shortages.

The source noted that some farmers in Latin America are already abandoning second corn plantings, while growers in Africa are facing a narrow window before potentially severe yield losses due to fertilizer shortages.

“Extensive meetings” have been held in New York over the past two weeks involving relevant member states to design and implement the mechanism, Juliette Touma, communications director at UN Office for Project Services (UNOPS), told Reuters.

Touma added that discussions, led by Jorge Moreira da Silva, executive director of the UNOPS, are still ongoing.

He is a big hypocrite and a liar, 2nd only to trump.

For your information, it has happened.

Israel Air Force has 11 combat losses. All of them are against PAF. PAF never lost even one jet against them.

PAF has not come against USAF in a war but, in an exercise in 1994, the PAF was challenged to drop dumb bombs on a US aircraft carrier in Arabian sea. Sq. Leader Asim Suleiman and his wingman achieved in a 40 years old Mirage. US was stunned.

Israel Air force rarely fights other jets they usually bomb civilians and all that involve is pressing a button. See kids throwing stones doesnt at F16s dont do much

They were not that brave in Oct 2023 had the resistance had someone prepared to supply them they would have been kicked out of Palestine

Even fighting a militia like Hezbollah they find troublesome

I think Iran asked keep civilian nuclear program and keep enrichment of Uranium for nuclear plants, and USA accepted it all times before.

The only new Iran condition was stop attacks against Lebanon.

Here the troublemaker, aggressor and liar is USA and his little bastard son Israel.

Which part of

But the simple fact is that we need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon. That is the core goal of the President of the United States, and that's what we've tried to achieve through these negotiations. Again, their nuclear programs such as it is, the enrichment facilities that they had before, they've been destroyed. But the simple question is, do we see a fundamental commitment of will for the Iranians not to develop a nuclear weapon, not just now, not just two years from now, but for the long term? We haven't seen that yet. We hope that we will."

is difficult to understand? Where is the mention of civilian nuclear program or nuclear plant in that text?

Blame Israel and US for starting illegal war look to them for compensation

 

[Aryan_B]

What, you expect China to go to war with US on these occasions ? Unrealistic. China won't get into war with US unless it is absolutely necessary like its existential is involved and there are no other ways around. Venezuela and Iran are not China's core interests, and I wouldn't even classify them as China's allies in strategic or military sense.

China and war would be unhelpful why would we want to make a bigger mess. America wants to get out of this lets help them without more disruption and destruction
