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

[Yasser76]

Israel cannot carry out attacks without US cover, US assets are in Israel to provide support.

Not sure, seems like this attack may not have had US backing, for sure the Americans would not have physically stopped the Israelis, but looks like no logistics support. Mind you we can only guess I suppose, last time flightradar was full of US tankers in the region, no nothing is in the air

US Dept. of War delegation onboard flight callsign SPAR (Special Priority Air Resource) now headed to CENTCOM AOR.

Also notable are the following:

RCH884 USAF - Troop Transport out of Germany
WAKE22 - Carrying USMC Fighter Squadron Personnel
RCH1809 - USAF Air Mobility Command C5M Super Galaxy

Even with that though, can the Israelis alone get enough tankers in the air?

Yeah, they will be constrained without US tanker support, but then again I wouldn't be surprised if the US is covertly supporting them with assets located in their bases in Iraq or Kuwait.

This aircraft is worth monitoring:

Carrying elite pilots from the Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 211 (VMFA -211)

Israel does not execute without planning with USA..
rest is lip service

Not sure this time, they have humiliated Trump by totally ignoring him. He will be seething at this. Unsure why he would green light his own humiliation. My guess is we actually may well see a US-Israel rupture here potentially. 3D Chess by Iran. If they make this out to be Israel v Iran as the rest of the world suffers economically, you will see massive US domestic pressure on Trump, already many Republicans are pushing back hard on support for Israel

The UK and Germany both provided their tankers to Israel, to attack Iran in the 12 day war. We only found out about them when some of the tankers forgot to turn off their transponders over Lebanon/Jordan/Syria/Iraq. So, there may be more support being provided to Israel and this time, the countries have become better to hide their direct involvement.

Usually I would agree, this time I am not so sure

I thought those tankers were to support RAF planes defending Israel against drones, not taking part in actual strikes

Maybe - but I suspect not(imho). I do think the UK was involved in the Genocide in Gaza by providing RAF intelligence planes to overfly, monitor and providing data to the IDF from those planes over Gaza.

The UK Government did say "oh, it was to try and find the hostages only", but there is a fine line between that rationale, and providing intelligence on the local resistance fighters, their operations and bases to the IDF etc.

Exactly… I don’t understand why Iran refuses to attack Israeli energy sites. Israel hits Irans.

Because they still do not reciprocate the feelings and intent which zion does for them... they have to look past zion... prepare for the day after... if you're sacrificing today at least make it better for your children.... that they do not keep facing the same ... Palestinians have suffered for generations now... and since this scrooge started the zionist project, Palestinians suffered!

Prepare for the day after... drag it long as Mileikowsky owing ti his own constraints has limited options... so you have a guy that is and has been a known quantity... use that as leverage.

How could Iran launch special ops forces into Azerbaijan? What are you smoking?

Is your "outburst" based on the fake Cnn article, btw?

Azerbaijan is a accomplice to this war against Iran

Anyone with a single brain cell can see it

Therefore Iran has the right to attack Azerbaijan just like GCC

As Pakistanis I get we like Azeri’s but in this case aid the enemy is unacceptable
