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

Very Highly unlikely there is anything left in the locker, we can be certain of that now. The time was for this to be done during the war to gain military advantage in combat, and they didn't. Iran has nothing new, because why hide it and incur $250billion of damage otherwise ?

Military platforms are for military advantage on the battlefield.

Two months ago, people were saying that Iran had next to no functional missile capability left, that it's military capacity was crippled by assassinations, and Hizbullah was essentially dead. This was proven wrong. It's also apparent that Iran's strategic thinking is based around assumptions that war with Israel and the US will be a long, protracted affair, meaning it has incentives to not disclose its most valuable systems early on.

I have no idea whether or not Iran has any surprises left, but to write it off completely because it hasn't used any new capabilities in the last few weeks seems premature.

Most military experts in Iran believe that this war will last at least 9 months to a full-year. So, it is not highly irrational to think that they are not showing everything yet.

There's so much left to be done by both sides.

Everything Iran has, we have seen in terms of types of platforms. Where is the value in hiding capability when you incur $250billion of damage? My comments were specific to "new capability" being unveiled, ie new platforms.

Let's see - time will tell. I would love to be proved wrong by my thoughts btw. I just think it is logical, that is all.
 
A message.

The Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, has concluded his visit to China and signed 24 agreements with the Chinese government.

The agreement includes settlement of oil trade between China and the United Arab Emirates in RMB, promotion of the use of China's Beidou Navigation System by the UAE government, and large-scale investment in China by the UAE's $1.8 trillion sovereign fund (Initial investment of 111.5 billion US dollars).

The position of the United Arab Emirates in the Iran War and its attitude towards Iran and the United States may change.




btw: In March 2026, the settlement of Middle East oil exports will be in RMB, accounting for 41%. If the UAE fulfills the agreement, RMB will surpass the US dollar to become the largest settlement currency for Middle Eastern oil exports.

Still didn´t divorce US and they get engaged with chinese???

If Irán get´s a deal to export oil in RMB and UAE also starts using RMB the US dollar will get a blow of cosmic level.

It will be harder than HAARP, Big Foot and Area 51 together.

Hope Qatar joins also RMB.
 
The Iranian people are deeply mistaken; they believe they will be saved if they just get through Trump's term, and the Mullahs are continuing their weak diplomacy. But remember, Trump did not kill Gaddafi. Trump did not lie about Iraq possessing weapons of mass destruction and invade, killing a million people. Trump had nothing to do with Vietnam or Afghanistan. It is the nature of America; nothing changes no matter who is president. America never keeps its promises, and it will absolutely destroy any country it has made an enemy of; it will never reconcile. The only exception is if it suffers a military defeat. Iran is caught in a classic good cop/bad cop trap. Fearing the bad cop Trump, they have mistakenly believed that all other Americans must be good, and are being deceived. Until Iran realizes this mistake, it will never recover.

I suppose the Petrodollar and the financial interests of US tech giants like Microsoft, Google and Amazon are sort of important to the US.

Some of the members here do not have the necessary technical and financial knowledge, and understanding the modern dynamic between these companies and the hegemony its supports. One can easily look at the history of the Middle East to see the last 50 years of utter importance they place on this region. They are pillars and enable all of this. Think of it as an alien species sending its smaller space ships to outer regions to extract resources and terminate the inhibitions. Not even sure why Iran didn't follow through and knocking these businesses out to. Collecting datapoints on the region and then sharing them.
