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

[Watandar]

Below article is good to understand what exactly is Iran doing here. The objectives at the moment are to force ships to use the Iranian routes in the SoH , instead of the Omani route, and also to jack up the price of oil. The larger objective is to think and act like a guerilla , not a conventional military, and to eventually win by exhausting the US.

Same strategy as the VietCong and the Taliban.

Iran Didn't Need to Win The War. It Needed to Outlast It

Iran's war strategy reveals why survival and attrition can matter more than battlefield victory.

Those nominating Trump the child raping zionist turd for two nobel prize twice are not khawarij, but actual momins?

I hope Iran has been churning out and amassing a great number of missiles and drones. It will need them in the coming days and probably weeks.

Sitting idle now won't do good. The muted response thus far means that Iran is playing the wait game.

The reformists negotiated away a clear military victory. Fighting back seems pointless when Pezeshkian will apologize and Qalibaf give away the gains. And Mojtaba write a letter blaming others.

Now the IRGC is suddenly too timid to strike UAE, Qatar, Saudi or Jordan. Not to mention Oman with their corridor. Maybe the reformist cabinet and corrupt qalibaf convinced the IRGC to stand down.

This is what attrition looks like.

America was going to destroy iranian infra and millions of Iranis were going to be without water and electricity and basic necessities of life before ceasefire kicked in. What conventional victory you talking about?

Iranians would survive that. Persian Gulf statelets would be depopulated by a reciprocal Iranian response.

At some point though the iranians are going to have to look in a mirror. They spent the last 50 years screaming at america and isreal, now they got their war and they are constantly looking for a "ceasefire" or "peace agreement".

On the one hand they like to talk about how their fighting isreali/zionism, but when the real actual war comes they are always looking for a way out of it.

Their enemy hasn't changed, if anything over the last 50 years it only became more Zionist. Either fight the war, or keep your mouth shut and keep your head low until your strong enough to do something about it. Because its obvious that Ballistic missiles alone isn't going to do it.

Right now the americans/isrealis are getting to pump the iranians at will and then the iranians have to sit on another ceasefire which allows their enemy to restock and to prepare new targets. rinse and repeat.

The Mullah regime honestly is absolutely fucking stupid.

Bro iranis are not looking for any ceasefire. Specially after they have been betrayed by US and Isreal many times. They have realized they can't come to terms with US and Zionists. And surrender is no option. So they are fighting back hard. To every US bombing in iran they are bombing US targets back. I don't like those mullahs either but here they are fighting for their motherland like any other nation would. You've made a mistake they are Persians first and mullahs later. Look at their long history,culture and civilization they just don't give up.

First, Iran has suffered a lot economically in 4 dacades due to sanctions imposed on it because of its nuclear program but didn't make the bomb. Now it will bring destruction to itself for asking tolls in Strait of Hormuz which no one will agree.
Yes, USA and Israel are bad but Iran is not saint either and it is being irrational again and again.

ASSESSMENT: Tehran's actions should be viewed through the lens of strategic deterrence. Decades of sanctions and external pressure have reinforced the belief within Iran that leverage—not concessions—is essential to protecting its national interests.

Yeah, because striking hundreds of targets in 2 days, including civilian bridges, is love tap.

Aren't you guys tired of "handling the war perfectly"?

Please let somebody else handle things with less perfection. We're fed up with your flawless perfect war tactics and strategies.

As another user pointed out, either fight the fight or shut the f*ck up and surrender. 48 years of chanting Death to America and Death to Israel all for this? To become the US punch bug like Syria or Lebanon?

Irán has no Air force or Navy to answer toe to toe to US forces.
Their strategy rely on capability of hitting targets beyond the Horizon. But they can't stop fighters and bombers.
Islamic Republic must answer without having fighters or drones over them.
But that not means Irán is not answering.
