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

[Shags101]

Yes if true just one hour of extreme heavy bombing versus hours and hours was this just for theatrics a few heavy hits and all is done

 

[Persian Gulf]

Normally, it would be reasonable to think the pickaxe mountain facility would have been cleared of sensitive materials and equipment with the long lead time they were given.

Cleared to where? That is the site you clear things to. The U.S. is watching everything that goes in and out closely.

 

[Bengal71]

Bahrainis are pro Iran and want to be part of Iran. Im surprised they haven't risen up as much

They have before. They were quite brutally suppressed with the help of the Saudis.

Cleared to where? That is the site you clear things to. The U.S. is watching everything that goes in and out closely.

But do they have the ability to see what going on 200 300 or even 400 feet below I still believe that these large underground bases are interconnected to other sites if the reports were true that Iran moved thousands of centrifuges and uranium to pick axe in 25 your telling me Israel wouldn’t have seen that large amount of machinery being moved to that site and bombed everything going there

IRGC has a solid record so far in this war . Everything that they claimed targeted and destroyed were backed up with receipts .
On the other hand Fox News anchor guy and CENTCOM not so much.

 

[Magi]

Cleared to where? That is the site you clear things to. The U.S. is watching everything that goes in and out closely.

Night time evacuation with intermediate stops at random high traffic warehouses, changing vehicles multiple times. Standard intelligence operation I would assume. Sorry if that sounds silly, I am not an operational intelligence expert. They have been able to hide Mojtaba effectively so they probably could do the same with some IR6 centrifuges and canisters.

One guy versus thousands of centrifuges not the same thing plus uranium and that’s if they actually don’t know where he is they usually leave killing of political and religious figures to Israel surprised we haven’t heard of military figures being killed past two weeks it seems these guys have gone dark not using regular communication lines(just my opinion same could be said with Hezbollah in the last round of fighting with Israel)

So I don’t always agree with your posts but to be fair many of Irans stated hits have been backed up fairly quickly no waiting weeks or month or even days same day or the next day of the targets they struck

This guy - Pete Hegseth seems like lying alot and making up fake stories every week

 

[Shags101]

US Central Command says it has completed another night of strikes that targeted “military operations centers, maritime capabilities, aircraft hangars, drone storage facilities, and military logistics infrastructure to further degrade Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.”

“Over the past three months, Iran has attacked more than 30 commercial vessels transiting the international waterway vital for regional and global trade,” says a statement from CENTCOM. “The unwarranted attacks have endangered hundreds of innocent mariners and undermined freedom of navigation.”

Central Command insists that the Strait of Hormuz remains open to commercial shipping despite these attacks, touting the number of vessels and barrels of oil that have transited the key waterway since early May.

I don’t think America knows the word hypocrisy under Trump

Cant wait for the US to backtrack on its commitments like it always does

No it’s not.

How come Iran had enough foresight to put its missile bases under 250-500 meters of rock.

But it’s “most secure” nuclear facility to assemble centrifuges and and calibrate them + possible enrichment hall it decides to stop at 100 meters?

The only plausible explanation is that Iran never seriously thought U.S. would bomb any of its mountain sites.

Also PickAxe was originally only a centrifuge construction and assembly plant to make up for the one that was blown up in a sabatoge attack years ago at Natanz PFP. Only later did Iran decide to expand the design.

Also it’s not even ready. If you wanted to make the site inoperable you could just bomb the faculties that supply power to it.
