It's rather sad. Our air defense performed very poorly during the war.
Even the IRIAF surprised me with their bravery.

I told you guys it would. But everyone wanted to believe Bavar and Mehran and Arman were real and mass produced. Blame Hajizadeh for spending more time giving speeches then fixing the holes in the military.
Everyone thought Iran’s air defense was formidable just because it shot down a MQ-4C over 6 years ago.
Meanwhile all those drones and sabotage attacks in TP-1/2 was brushed aside.
I still remember how many fools here didn’t want to admit the S-300 radar was hit at Tabriz in Israel’s sabatoge attack!
End of the day a country the size of Iran needed to spend BILLIONS on air defense from China and Russia, and it didn’t.
Even if it did, it would have helped up for maybe 1-2 months. Eventually they would have ran out of interceptors from constant U.S. fighter jets lobbing cruise missiles. And without a proper interceptor force of fighter jets the systems would be slowly picked off.

U.S., Israel preparing to bombard energy-related targets in Iran, sources say
Updated on: July 31, 2026 / 5:06 PM EDT / CBS News
Washington — The United States and Israel are planning what would be one of the harshest bombing campaigns to date against energy infrastructure targets in Iran, multiple sources told CBS News, with strikes possible throughout the weekend.
There was some discussion about trying to conclude by the time financial markets open Monday because of concern about how the bombings will affect the U.S. and global economy, but an end point wasn't locked in.
The Israelis have been notified and are coordinating with the United States, according to multiple U.S. sources. The president has yet to give the final go orders for the strikes, the sources said.
A joint operation would mark Israel's return to combat operations which it had halted during the U.S.-brokered truce. Iran has not hit Israel since the memorandum of understanding fell apart and the U.S. restarted combat operations in early July.
An Israeli official told CBS News: "Israel is unaware of a decision to restart full military operations, nor has been requested of Israel to join any military actions against Iran."
The military strike plan came up during President Trump's cabinet meeting at Camp David on Friday, according to sources briefed later. Some White House aides who focus on politics were strongly opposed, one of the sources said.
While reporters were in the room, Mr. Trump said: "We'll be hitting them very hard. At some point, they're going to say, 'We just can't take it anymore.'"
"I think we just want to win," he told the press when asked about reviving diplomacy.
Energy infrastructure including power plants and refineries would likely be targeted, two of the sources said.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to CBS News: "As President Trump said at his cabinet meeting today, the United States will win, and Iran will not have a nuclear weapon under his watch."
Chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said the Pentagon would not comment on targets before the president makes a final decision.
"The Department of War is locked and loaded, ready to execute the President's directives at a moment's notice," Parnell said in a statement.
A former U.S. military official told CBS that the value of hitting energy infrastructure would be to impact the Iranian military's ability to provide services and effectively govern.
When Mr. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met earlier this week, Netanyahu briefed him on three options for the war, including military strikes focused on land resupply routes, a senior Israeli official said. Netanyahu also met with Defense Secretary Hegseth.
The U.S. has already struck bridges in this conflict that were dual-use — used by the military and civilians — a U.S. official said.
There were high-level U.S. discussions Friday about cutting electricity across Tehran, but no decision had been made as of Friday afternoon.
Last week, Mr. Trump posted on Truth Social that he would bomb and destroy an Iranian bridge or power plant for every attack on a ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.

Pedro Sánchez doesn't want to recognized, but everybody knows that Israel and US is behind it.
They are slowly eroding all countries and people that supported Irán and Palestine during the war. Hope my people know It and vote consequently.

Delusions of a random twitter user are ok and common.
Delusions of Araghchi should be concerning for whole Iran.
Edit: It's not Araghchi, it's just a random account using his picture.

If they do It, it is because they ran out of military alternatives... But also because nuclear program are out of their reach.Original source full text

Even if we don't like It this operation could be the swan song...
No uranium no missile program no Mojtaba...

Will be interesting to see if IRGc still let them come and destroy everything and then retaliate or for once, do the preemtive stike on shitrail to disrupt their plans to some extent.
