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

[Ibbi32]

a combined attack of missile 358/359 (to disrupt aerial interception operations) + torpedos + UUVs + ASBMs is needed to hit a US ship when it passes the Strait of Hormoz

Houthis managed pretty large saturation attacks, without major success but they came close a few times, at a much further distance from their coastline as well

The impact the Houthis achieved was psychological. For 9 months following their largest attack not a single us navy warship passed through bab el mandeb and allied european navies had to pause operation aspides. The houthis did this by being smart about their attacks and launching 1-2 missiles at a time and constantly having drones up in different areas and once they wanted to attack concentrating fire on loose formations whilst sending small anmount of drones and missiles towards warships to keep them occupied. Iran failing to capatilise on opportunities is nothing new and serious degreadation of capabilities is expected by the sheer volume of strike particularly by USN on chahbahar and bandar abbas

Is this credible? Are the Chinese helping the Emiratis?

I don't mean this as a dis but it seems like the US isn't taking Iran serious. It feels like the US is just disciplining Iran like a child or a dog when they are naughty by slapping them on the hand or snout and telling them you're a bad boy. You'd think Iran launching missiles and drones would provoke another nation to strike back hard but instead it feels like US rolls its eyes and chastises Iran.

It gave me this kind of feeling when US officials dismissed the incident and said the war isn't back on. It's funny seeing X accounts get excited thinking the war is back on only to see US have a meh attitude.

"United States is like a scary dog: if you run from it, it will chase you; if you stand firm and stop, it will back off and run away." lol

seems like the cease-fire is about to end.

Nah. US isn't taking it too seriously they are holding back when retaliating

Are you a 100% sure none hit the destroyers. They were anchored. How could they have missed unless they fired 1 or 2 for each destroyer just to scare them

Hitting a US vessel at this time, and possibly causing 100s of casualties is not something Iran would want. Thats a serious escalation. They were probably warning shots and the Americans are exaggerating as usual. They always want to make it look sensational.

This is yet another opportunity to hit that UAE pipeline that bypasses Hormuz and drive up energy prices further. The US is out of options and just blindly lashing out until it finally accepts its defeat in this war.

Love him or hate him he knows how to troll.

So attacking Oil factories and industries (including recent attacks on UAE and somewhere) are the right answer to push US back?

If it works the you know your answer.

 

[Meengla]

Sounds like US + UAE attacked Iran.

UAE didn’t have the balls to attack Iran without its master alongside them.

I should have known something was coming up because Netanyahu spoke with Trump within last 24 hours.

Like it or not you are in a ceasefire. There is 0% chance Iran tries to sink a U.S. warship during a ceasefire. Not going to happen. U.S. also knows this that’s why ships are much closer than during the war.

they didn't fire that many missiles at them to try not to hit them

 

[kobra]

I can easily contradict your post but it will go off topic. Btw you're still wrong.

whatever helps you lol

When using a Close-In Weapon System (CIWS), such as the US Navy's Phalanx, the "danger" zone is extremely close—typically within 1 mile (1,600 meters) or less from the ship. CIWS is designed as a last-ditch defense against incoming missiles, meaning it engages when threats have already bypassed long-range defenses.

I think Iran fired some warning shots and this is a form of deterrence.
