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

Iran can hit US ships. 100%. That would mean all out war with gloves coming off against a super power.

Iran is playing it smartly. Keep hitting the US bases in the region in minion Gulf states. This is more than enough to rile the entire Zionist gang. Keep targeting Gulf infrastructure and oil rigs. The impact this has far exceeds hitting US ships.
Irán can hit them as probably Irán can hit tankers. Even being escorted by fighters, the big side, small speed and big IR signature makes them really vulnerable.

The question is why IRGC is not hitting them. And probably they're letting days come, makes crews more confident and working closer to shores.

But just USV and Shaheds 379 can make some ships and tankers pass a very bad moment. They did It before and right now they're just waiting.
 
And let's not forget that McKenzie is one of the moderates in Trump's circle of military advisors. He is the same guy that said Iran had reached overmatch against the US. So, if McKenzie thinks the US has a chance at taking the Kharg Island, the situation isn't good.
McKenzie always urged the US to steer clear of war with Iran

God damn who brought Peace & MoU
 
The UK regularly conducts night time helicopter training. That is not something anyone should be 😱😱😱😱 alarmed at 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

What you should be alarmed at, are refuelers from NATO. ✅
Even if they're involved.
Will something change?.
Air campaign is not enough. In Yemen even UK fighters were bombing and they reached nothing.
Just a small and fast victory could be achieved just to make any deal more necessary for Irán. And that require boots on the ground. And that is problaby what Islamic Republic is waiting. To inflict real pain through military casualties.

I remember at the time I was on the verge of a breakdown in disbelief. Even thinking about the incompetence now makes me angry!

It is not incompetence Mr. Persian Gulf.
You cannot deploy in the Middle of nowhere SAM systems and their operators and protection in every part of Irán.
If suddenly flying very low profile some aircrafts enters in New México or Texas something similar would happen to US.
They were deployed in sensitive áreas and close to military targets.
The reality of that operation was a complete failure. Even if they can enter easily the fact It is their never left intouched. They lost more than half of the bests US aircrafts.
At much you can deploy some MANPADS or some trucks with 359. But you can't cover completely all country in real time.

It's better if they send soldiers within reach of missiles and drones. Iran should welcome them, lure them into a quagmire far from their Homeland.

Esfahan is in the centre of Iran not in the border somewhere

Dozens of people saw these planes and helicopters and even shot at them with pistols, so why can’t small manpad crews do the same?
 
That doesn’t mean they can invent a new version of reality and ignore that Saudi Arabia was the aggressor by bombing Yemen’s airport first.
Let's be abundantly clear, we can agree or disagree with official statements. And regardless how anyone here feels, there are nation-states with leaders and agreements and a better handle on situations than people on a defence e forum.

So regardless how we may feel about certain statements, we just have to learn to accept that people will say things that we like, dislike, agree with, disagree with.

As for "inventing realities" it's politics. Yemeni govt themselves deny Saudi bombardment. 🤷‍♂️

Such is the nature of things.

Hitting a large, slowish moving tanker or large cargo ship at 10 km off your coast is one thing. Hitting a warship that has cutting edge interceptors to defend itself away from your coast is another thing.

Iran can hit the former and not the later. Otherwise in a war, you never discount weapons of the enemy by assuming that oh we are letting them fire upon at us and we are not hitting it deliberately. The warship is not a large group of US civilians in a cruise ship. Those are enemy soldiers who are firing missiles at Iran. The US even kills your civilians and even children at school. You don't hit even their military equipment which is hitting you? i.e WARSHIP ? It makes ZERO logic. Point is Iran do not have a navy or airforce to acomplish this task. Hitting warships with coastal missiles alone is very difficult. Iran would hit it if it gets the means to do it.

I don't know. Considering the fact that our decision makers have so far shown no stomach for killing American soldiers, I don't think that's a good thing to happen.
