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

[Avicenna]

A lot of defensive radars,A.D batteries , satellite ground stations , Intel command and control centers , ammo depots and air bases were in the way protecting that shit hole . They had to be cleared out . The road to that shit hole is starting to be wide open.

Don’t forget ,Iran is at war with 8 countries at the same time .

Looking at how asymmetric this fight is Iran is doing the best it can.

Lotta geostrategic cucks in the neighborhood.

They won't stop until Trump's term ends.

This is their golden opportunity that they have waited decades for.

I would hope Iran would be asking China and Russia for assistance to the max at this point.

Trump Holds Off on Major Escalation Against Iran as Advisers Raise Concerns​

Among the worries is that expanded hostilities could dangerously drain the diminished stockpile of air defense munitions in the Middle East.

I reckon the remaining air defences are heavily concentrated around US bases in israel and demona textile facility.

I don't understand the importance of such meetings since telephone was invented, especially among states with a vassal relation that are basically same entity.
So the explanation must be USA wanting to present Israel to the world as the culprit of the next global economic crisis, consequence of Iran war.

USA always so concerned about public image and deceive everyone.

Sounds like a conspiracy theory.
But analysts do wonder what kind of hold Netanyahu has over Trump. Not so long ago, he got a severe tongue lashing after meeting VP Harris, not so long ago, he was denied even a meeting with President Obama in Washington.
Anyway, I tend to think every time Netanyahu comes to Washington to meet Trump, he asks for more aggressive measures approval in the Middle East and he uses his 'connections' to pressurize Trump. Just look at the number of visits Netanyahu has made to Trump in just 1.5 years!

"US military commanders are deliberately letting some Iranian missiles and drones through their air defenses to conserve dwindling interceptor stocks. "

That is one hell of a spin. Picture a state saying they are 'deliberately letting some rebels through their defenses to conserve dwindling weapons stocks.'

US tankers now split across Ben Gurion airport, Ovda air base, and Ramon airport

Actually this your post proves that Israel is most heavily involved in the war. I don't see in any stretch of imagination that any air refueler tankers or any AWACS could be stationed so near in Bahrain or Kuwait. But Iran keep hitting bahrain and kuwait but not hitting Israel when you already acknowledged in your post that there are so many US assets in Israeli airbases.

Even if we assume for a second that Israel isn't involved in this round then we should always remember that it was Israel who started this war and wanted Iran to completely collapse. (btw we know as a fact that Israel is involved even now with providing maximum logistics to US forces attacking Iran.)

Ohh so it's OK for the mods to do personal insults. Got it.


Can you tell me how Jordan attacked iran? Please go ahead enlighten me.

I would argue that Trans-Jordan (may as well use its colonial name as little has changed since then!) provides a radar facility that supports Tel Aviv.

Iran IS fighting against Israel indirectly by harming its perimeter defences. I agree with others that Iran cannot stretch itself beyond this for now, so the criticism that "Iran isn't unleashing missile volleys daily on Israel" makes no sense from a tactical perspective.

We have to note that Iran has learned from each encounter with its enemies and approaches each round of engagement differently.

Than uae is the closest why not target it as well?

Agree with this!

Patience, friends, patience. Massive attacks on Israel will come from multiple directions: Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and Iran should an off ramp not found soon.

This could be disinformation. I have read similar reports by the Israelis, that they don't attempt to intercept something they see is going to fall in open spaces, because they are low on interceptors. I first read reports like this in the 12 day war in 2025. Obviously the Israelis were lying and there was no actual shortage of interceptors.

The constant chatter of shortages in ammunition seems to have a purpose (e.g. signalling to lower commodities price stress). Can't figure out if it's based on truth or deliberate disinfo.

Did hitting Tel Aviv with a few random missiles actually result in any tactical or strategic victory against Israel the last time round? Such a repeated effort would - for now - be pissing in the wind. Certainly, if the radar shield is diminished to the point where strikes would be effective, then Iran should perhaps do this. But at present, Iran still needs to extract maximum benefit for itself from the minimum possible expenditure of assets. A very precarious position to be in.

I agree that hitting Telaviv with few random missiles won't give any success. But most of war effort that US is taking is being facilitated by bases / airports in Israel. There are so many air refueling tankers and AWACS of the US stationed in Israel which are actively involved in war against Iran.

Also why Iran should let go of master mind of this war ? Why not to punish the biggest culprit? Yes I can understand if Iran is having shortage of missiles OR technical difficulties in achieving successes over Israel. Otherwise many Iranian fans used to say that Israel is nothing in front of Iran without US support. Yet now they are not asking Iran that you are attacking bahrain and kuwait over and over again who clearly do not have any tankers, AWACS, bombers etc. The current campaign in only air campaign. There's no land based missiles involved.

I want to understand the moral ground of unconditional iranian fans. Either they have to accept that yes Iran has limited missiles / capability to take on Israel and Israel is not a walk in the park but a serious challenge, so Iran fears Israeli retaliation OR they should accept that oh yes we have lots of missiles to hit and punish Israel but we started to like Israel now who is our existential enemy btw.

The airstrikes against Iran are being carried out from Israel. U.S. military aircraft are flying via the route U.S. mainland > EU > Israel > Jordan > Saudi Arabia to launch airstrikes on Iran.
However, as a tactical matter, it is first necessary to strike at the weak points in the enemy’s alliance, such as Kuwait and Bahrain. This is similar to how Israel sequentially attacked Lebanon and Syria to clear a path before attacking Iran proper.
Therefore, the problem with Iran’s timidity is not that it isn’t striking Israel right now. It is that it is failing to employ the obvious tactic of thoroughly destroying Kuwait and Bahrain, while Trump is once again calling for a ceasefire—to drive a wedge into the alliance.
Neither Iran’s leadership nor its generals know how to fight.
It is truly foolish to hold back on attacks now, when this is clearly a prime opportunity to drive a wedge into the alliance.

I would have thought, as a third party observer, that this paradigm is obviously the reality. And i doubt any reasonable Iranian would dispute that. Even WITHOUT US direct support, inflicting a military defeat on Israel remotely (assumption would be that ground ops are not possible) is exceptionally difficult. Israel maintains air supremacy over its lands, so spec ops seem out of the question too. Iran's strategy options are limited.
