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

[ShotErrorKh]

Iran should make it clear, each bridge will be followed up by destruction of one complete oil refinery/water desalination plant/Airport in countries hosting US bases.

Thats the suicide option, its good to keep that as a very real threat but once they play that card then they lose it. Unlike the strait or bab el mendab they cant go back on it, they become austricized from the entirety of the gulf forever.

We keep this card for now.

Saudi Arabia doesn't allow its airspace and land to be used against Iran. I think you need to check your facts.

Really? Fo Reeel?

There's that IDF/ US Abu-Bhint Soltan wal Condom base in Sawdi Judea no?

We all know this.

I assure you that if the roles were reversed, the Turkish MIT would have eliminated the radar on the very first day of the war.

Yes, because Iran isn't in Nato.

RC135 RivetJoint departed RAF Mildenhall headed towards EUCOM AOR


Interesting track, whilst the 135 provides NATO reassurance, monitoring military activity around the Baltic or Black Sea, the current course, timing and increased US flights in the region potentially indicate deployment to CENTOM AOR.

️ US media: CNN: US intelligence discovered a steady stream of reports in recent weeks about potential Iranian plots to assassinate President Trump, but the warning from Israel was new and indicated a more specific plot.
- Details of the reported plot remain unclear, and US intelligence agencies have not independently verified the Israeli information.
- Some US officials suggested that the Israeli warning may have been intended to influence Trump's deliberations as he considers whether to escalate US military action against Iran.

️ Senior Commander Eyal Zamir, Chief of Staff of the [Zionist] regime's army, has stated that operations in Iran "are not yet over."
"New plans" are currently under review, and "significant operations" are still expected to be carried out. He told air force officers, "Be ready."
Zamir also noted that the Israeli army is on full alert and is closely monitoring developments in Iran and Lebanon





So basically the "Israelis" were part of the countries carrying out the recent attacks?

20% of total world crude consumption

But 40% of total world crude oil exports

Crude oil producers countries spend a lot internally.

I see what you mean.

This will only lead to world moving away from the Strait of Hormuz route and adapt alternatives.

09/07/2026: France sees Syria as alternative oil route amid Hormuz tensions, foreign minister says: Anadolu Ajansi

12/06/2026: Libya benefits from rising oil prices, exports 43 million barrels in one month: Libya Update

It's much easier for Western countries (Europe and the Americas) but challenging for Asia.

Let's look at this war from IRI's perspective to make people understand how badly the Iranian security apparatus failed in this conflict. Take the Kürecik NATO Base in Turkey as an example.

From this radar base, the US is effectively monitoring all of Northwest Iran to this day, where a significant portion of the Iranian population resides.

Don't misunderstand me. No one in Turkey would tolerate any harm to Turkish lives or property caused by Iranians, but in this case the situation is different.

Think about it: Iranians can enter Turkey without a visa. IRGC members visit Van regularly. I have seen them in the city with their families; they usually visit accompained by a few younger men (obviously bodyguards). There is substantial trade, too, with thousands of trucks crossing the Iranian-Turkish border weekly. Villages and orchards are located as close as 500 to 1000 meters from the base installations, yet Iranian intelligence has:

a.) never considered this vulnerable target

b.) failed to develop any contingency plans to neutralize these radar installations

c.) not contemplated smuggling man-portable air-defense systems or small missiles to accurately strike the radar

Strictly from IRI's POV: Why would you be this lethargic?!

Let's be real, the Turkish population could not care less about the destruction of these radars. The missiles fired towards Cyprus and Israel crossing into Turkish airspace were of greater concern for the average Turk than potentially seeing US AN/TPY-2 radars getting destroyed.

Iran's passivity caused more harm than US and Israeli bombs.

Perfectly said, and I'm happy that a Turkish user is saying it. I said the exact same thing in the beginning of the war.

I think the best option to destroy the AN/TPY-2 radar at Kurecik is FPVs fired from inside the Turkish territory or close to the border with plausible deniability. Targeting a US military base in a NATO country is a bold move, but as long as you have plausible deniability and Turkey can look the other way, we should've done it very early in the war.
