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

[lightning f57]

Neither Trump nor the US have appetitie for long wars. Trump will get out of it the day he gets something that he can sell to his public.

Im sure Putin thought the same with his "special military operation"

Unbelievable!

While I love Senator Chris van Hollen, the following video is even more fun to watch the grilling of Hegseth:

There is no way for Irán to sustain a so long protracted ballistic missile exchange without some external help.

Iran is still using inventory it built from 2010-2015.

Assuming Iran had 7500 missiles (hypothetical random guess) when this conflict started, it should still have 50%+ remaining with no new production needed.

So no, there is no evidence of Chinese assistance currently for manufacturing NEW missiles. Iran is still using old inventory mixed with some newer gen missiles.

You forget Iran has been building missiles for 25 years for this very war.

7.5k figure seems quite low no? The generally held belief was that they had close to 100k at least along with 80k drones before the war.

You can thank China and Xi the Western appeaser. He halted oil imports the month of June which saved the global market about 5-6MBPD of oil.

Xi has always been happy to run to the West to give them concessions just like his ally across the border Vladimir Putin.

The reason they halted was probably because they didnt want the oil price going further up. If I was China I would have done the same, why buy expensive oil over $100 a barrel when you can tap into your strategic 1.2bn reserves, this way you avoid paying a high price and you dont put pressure on the market and rise the price. Then when the price stabilises and falls you can start importing again. However China cant last more than 100 days without having to import, so this is a temporary measure.

Things must be really bad if even russia is struggling to meet its domestic demand for fuel.

It took few months to rebuild the solid fueled missile ballistic factories after 12 war. Guess who assisted Tehran to re equip the planetary mixer for solid fueled missiles. Not to mention perchrolate needed for their solid fueled missiles.
Nobody is diminishing the awesome Iranian missile program, but their ability to repair and reopen the assembling lines does not come from scratch.

The U.S. has fled from Al Udied air base

Im wondering what Iran means by expanding their attacks. So far it seems SA has had little to no attacks, Turkey has not been attacked at all, they have large US bases and facilities not far from Iran and Israel is not touched.

If i was china i would have doubled the oil imports to inflict even more pain on western economies then simply walk in taiwan and declare it as another province of china with west already stretched too thin between ukraine and strait of hormuz

Even if you manage to dodge that bull once, China will ultimately have to buy oil—just like everyone else—to meet its domestic demand. That is why you only fight a bull once; by the second time, it has already figured out how to catch the matador.

They have their long term plans and likely dont want to upset the apple cart unless they really have to.
