I think the U.S. downed this themselves in their panic

Neither side has true escalation dominance.

Israel definitely has more offensive power than Iran. However, it is severely hampered by the fact that it has a limited defensive stockpile compared to the offensive stockpile that Iran has. And there is a restocking problem (time to get the interceptors, as well as the number of interceptors).

Hence, Israel on its own (and even with US support, as we’ve seen) cannot escalate against Iran without the risk of running out of interceptors and the continued war becoming existential for them.

Hence, iran cannot escalate because it knows it can attract more Israeli/US offensive strikes. And Israel cannot escalate because its defensive stockpile with further deplete to critically low levels.

But credit to Iran for building deterrence. It is able to exact severe costs on the US in the region, and the US/Israel have no answer to that.

Iranian airforce jets ?

 

[Pakistan First]

Israeli strikes on Iran have come from Azerbaijan

Iran should not allow Azerbaijan to get away with this

Azerbaijan is close to Pakistan

But for this treachery Iran should level Baku

Pakistan should be on the phone to Azerbaijan

If you help Israel no JF17 Thunder jets for you

Stay out of this war and don’t give Israel any land or air space

The oil pipeline to Israel should also be destroyed

Why no JF-17s for them? That money helps PAC do R & D on next versions. The project is of significant value, it adds to the economy. We are not even involved in the conflict. Iran never cancelled its port project with india when we and india did a small 4 days war. It was cancelled later by india because Trump told india to leave Iran.

National decisions are not taken the way you have mentioned dear.

The Islamic Republic of Iran once again proving it has absolute balls of adamantium.

Trump-Netanyahu phone call has begun

let's see who controls who

Definitely won’t be Trump.

Israel’s ego has taken a bit hit from these Iranian attacks, and Netanyahu will be under extreme pressure from Israeli society to respond.

When Netanyahu was able to defy Trump in better times (when Israel wasn’t being directly targeted by Iran over the last many weeks, post the “ceasefire”), what do you think will happen when the Israeli homeland is actually under attack from Iran?

 

[Flotilla]

Zionists response will arrive. Trump doesn't control Israel, It is viceversa. I pray for the success of the Islamic Republic and the safety of their people. May God help Irán and suffer the less martyrs possible.

Looks like Iran has reshuffled its cards and is now ready for round 2. This time Iran fired the first shot (unlike ever before), they must be ready now.

 

[FUB]

Amen . Godspeed.

To add to that, Iran has a greater amount of land and correlated with greater pain tolerance compared to Israel. They can afford to prolong a warfare for years, let alone months. Israel's doctrine is quite invested into shock and awe.

This doctrine explains why they have resorted to targeting Beirut. Despite conquering territory in Southern Lebanon, holding those positions has proven to be a costly logistical nightmare, especially under the constant pressure of FPV drone strikes and relentless rocket barrages
