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

[BananaRepublic]

Let’s recap what the U.S. did:

• Tricked Iran into a ceasefire to resupply and move around air defenses and radars from Iranian/Russian/Chinese satellites
• Helped get the 100M barrels of oil stuck in the Strait of Hormuz out to help starve off the oil crisis for a couple more months.
• Attacked Iranian assets under the lie of self defense to weaken Iranian air defenses and radars before the next bombing campaign.
• Restarting the bombing campaign at a time of their choosing

Let’s Hope Iran felt these trade offs were worth the time to open their own tunnels and rearrange their own military assets.

People who have seen their savings disappear thanks to massive inflation - will not forget it.

Given the future AI economy without pay hikes - there’s no chance of rebuilding their savings.

If war was about who can kill the most people - US would have won the Vietnam and Afghan wars.

24.1728, 62.0804



Only 120km away

Houthis would have hit this by now

 

[Persian Gulf]

Again, what do you expect them to do?

I don’t know if you remember but shortly before this war Abdolrahim Mousavi gave a big speech about how Iran’s military strategy had changed to an offensive strategy and they no longer wait and might strike first

What happened to that? Now the U.S. knows they can give Iran multiple hours warning of a strike, and Iran will still not attack first

 

[BananaRepublic]

Iran needs to pay attention

You don’t need oil at 200 dollars.

World economy cannot take 100 dollars much longer.

Desperate acts like depleting reserves and subsidies has kept world economy on life support.

E.g. U.K. government cannot sustain the current subsidies for much longer.

Wonder if all Iran elites and military leadership is alseep in same room.

You don’t need oil at 200 dollars.

Why not ? so the U.S and its allies can live and we die ?
well even tho that may hurt the egyptian economy but I stand with Iran.

 

[BananaRepublic]

There is literally nothing that America could do which would convince the passive IRGC to strike first … horrible

Bro, you are quoting a drunk - reported by an Israeli shill.

Get a grip!

Neither side can do to each other the damage required to make concessions needed to get to a deal.

These strikes, if they happen, won't bring about desired strategic outcome that Trump administration are seeking.

It also sounds more like a scare tactic.

 

[Winthorpe]

Is Iran going for the rope-a-dope strategy?

 

[Immortals]

They really think they just bomb Iran, and Iran will surrender or accept the deal on the table?

Either Iran is weaker than we all realized or this whole “bomb” Iran to get them to strike a deal is a ruse so that they can invade Isfahan and extract the material.

Does Iran really think they would be safer if they give up the nuclear material and sign some deal that Trump can throw out next year? When your enemy is so desperate for that nuclear material that they go to IAEA and make them pass a resolution to tell you where it all is?

Hopefully Iran realized that the nuclear bomb is their only way out and have been developing it since June 2025 or Feb 2026.

Giving up the nuclear “dust” will be worst then when Saddam and Ghaddafi did it.

Yes, I remember that but it was bullshit like almost every other thing that has come out of the mouths of the stupid people in this regime after the assassination of General Soleimani.

Even on paper, there is nothing that Iran can do to stop future US strikes.
We failed to establish deterrence. We failed to destroy Israeli infrastructure. We failed to kill Israeli citizens in large numbers. We failed to keep oil prices high. We failed to develop nukes. Heck, we didn't even dare to leave the NPT after all our official threats to do so. We failed to hit USN assets. We even failed to take Americans prisoner or kill hundreds of them.

We are a punching bag. We can hit Arabs now, but first of all, neither the US nor Israel cares about that. Secondly, this time shutting down the Strait of Hormuz won't have the same surprise effect anymore.

 

[Persian Gulf]

We have to change the equation somehow

- a massive saturation strike on the closest USN vessel from multiple vectors until the ship is totally destroyed

- a large scale attack concentrated against energy infrastructure in the UAE

- cutting undersea cables in the strait of Hormoz

Let’s use some creativity and stop being so predictable by repeatedly targeting mostly abandoned U.S. military bases

 

[BananaRepublic]

Why not ? so the U.S and its allies can live and we die ?
well even tho that may hurt the egyptian economy but I stand with Iran.

Yes! That would speed things up.

But it’s not necessary for an Iranian victory

They will probably strike tomorrow when us stock markets shutdown and do an intense bombing campaign for a couple of days only for trump to announce on monday a deal is imminent within days on his truth social media rinse and repeat.

We all will find out only after both sides have taken their turns.
