Ffs this piece of concrete needs to be turned back into desert

Hard to believe this is accurate but Iran should raze Burj khalifa and Burj al arab to the ground the next time united zionist emirate tries to act funny, target their airports, target their refineries and desalination plants, choke their economy, Iran has nothing to lose but these jew worshipping sand dwellers got everything to lose, this zionist proxy in the gulf must be uprooted at all cost, it's too dangerous for Iran to have these israelis in their backyard, especially with the reports of iron dome batteries operating in the zionist emirates

damnn, they are using 60mm mortar round FPV ...no chance for Merkava ..

They should not stop till holding lebanese land is unattainable. Keep decimating their equipment, especially radars and tanks and try and kill as many soldiers as they can. Should do it at night when they have monitored their locations through out the morning. Swarms of atleast a 100's of these. Finish these b%$#ards!!! Get back their land.

On the other hand, if iran is attacked again, iran better respond by leveling every factory and every government building in israel. Concentrate all their fire power on israel. Forget the camels of uae, just decimate the israelis and their infrastructure!!!

The only missiles and drones they should fire toward GCC are to destroy radar and interceptor sites. I guess they have been rebuilt and re- stocked. Which is bad news for iran in a way.

As far as america is concerned. The only real damage iran can do to them is by attacking their navy, 100's of drones and cruise missiles along with 10's of BM's towards their destroyers and aircraft carriers and pray they hit. Try remote unmanned underwater crafts as well.

May God make iran and Lebanon successful in any future attack against them. Aameen

 

[Master Chief]

ADM Cooper, CENTCOM commander, has confirmed this morning in Senate testimony that public reporting of Iran retaining 70% of its missile stocks is NOT accurate.

CENTCOM chief tells senators Iran's hold on Strait of Hormuz has weakened, but threats remain

Admiral Brad Cooper of U.S. Central Command told the Senate Armed Services Committee that U.S. forces have destroyed more than 90% of Iran's inventory of 8,000 naval mines.

All subterfuge.

We don't know how much stockpile Iran has left and I would trust NEITHER the press nor Centcom on the matter.

Both parties have reasons to deceive Iran. USA may simply be trying to (a) create just cause for a new military strike and (b) be feigning weakness to achieve a certain end.

I also believe Iran has adapted well in the last 12 months and now play an identical game of feigning weakness when needed.

It is difficult to find reliable data on what is really going on.

But then the question may well be - does the truth actually matter at all?

One may argue that perception is all that matters, as perception drives the markets, which is one of the key theatres of operation within which Iran and USA are doing battle.

'No trust in Americans': Araghchi says Tehran interested in talks only if US is 'serious'​

Araghchi, addressing a press conference, expressed that Iran remained “interested” in negotiations, however, “only if the other side is serious and is in line with real negotiations”.

“We have no trust in Americans; this is a fact,” Araghchi said.

He maintained that Iran responds to the “language of respect,” recalling that every time the US has approached Iran with diplomacy, Iran answered “positively”.

UAE tried to drag Gulf states into war with Iran

Bloomberg reports, Mohamed bin Zayed personally called MBS and other regional leaders pushing for a coordinated military campaign against Iran.

Every one of them refused. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the broader Gulf declined to join, leaving the UAE to pursue its strikes largely ALONE.

The Gulf chose to stay out. Abu Dhabi chose war. That choice now defines them. It won't end well for them.

Iran urges BRICS to condemn US war as Tehran, UAE spar​

NEW DELHI: Iran's foreign minister urged BRICS nations on Thursday to condemn what he called violations of international law by the United States and Israel, as diplomats from emerging economies met for talks in Delhi in the shadow of war in the Middle East.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi accused US ally the United Arab Emirates of direct involvement in military operations against Iran, in a rare moment when Iranian and Emirati officials have been in the same room since the US-Israeli war against Iran began on February 28.

Araqchi said Iran was a "victim of illegal expansionism and warmongering". He asked the BRICS+ grouping - comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the UAEto resist "Western hegemony and the sense of impunity that the US believes it is entitled to". "Iran therefore calls upon BRICS member states and all responsible members of the international community to explicitly condemn violations of international law by the United States and Israel," he said.

Later, he told the gathering that the UAE was "directly involved in the aggression against my country", the Iranian semi-official Mehr news agency reported.

The UAE was represented by its Deputy Foreign Minister Khalifa Shaheen Al Marar. In response to the US and Israeli attacks on Iran, Tehran launched strikes on Gulf States including the UAE. Their differences could make it difficult for BRICS, which operates by consensus, to agree on a joint statement.

It was not immediately clear how or whether the UAE and other nations attending the BRICS+ meeting had responded to Araqchi's remarks.

India, whose partnership with the UAE is deepening, is the BRICS chair for 2026 and is one of the parties most affected by Iran's effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz since the war.

The waterway usually handles about a fifth of global oil shipments, and its blockade has triggered one of the biggest supply disruptions in recent history.

India, the world's third-biggest oil importer and a big user of the strait, has suffered big supply disruptions and lost sailors in attacks on ships in the Gulf.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said 30 vessels had crossed since Wednesday evening, still far short of 140 that were typical daily before the war, but a substantial increase if confirmed.

According to shipping analytics firm Kpler, some 10 ships had sailed through the strait in the past 24 hours, against five to seven that have crossed daily in recent weeks.

Iran's Judiciary Spokesperson Asghar Jahangir said the seizure of "US tankers" violating Iranian regulations was being carried out under domestic and international law.

A senior US admiral told a US Senate committee on Thursday Iran's ability to threaten its neighbours and US regional interests had been "significantly degraded".

"They no longer threaten regional partners, or the United States, in ways that they were able to do before, across every domain," Admiral Brad Cooper said.

But Cooper declined to directly address reports by Reuters and other news organizations that Iran had retained significant missile and drone capabilities.

Iran's rulers, who used force to put down anti-government protests at the start of the year, have faced no organised opposition since the war began. And their closure of the strait has given them additional leverage in negotiations.
