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

[Falcon29]

Hamas's mistake in 2023 was assuming Hezbollah and IRGC were prepared to play their role in 2023. For some reason/s they got that impression. Or they didn't but tried to force their allies hands.

Hamas was 100% prepared to play it's role but that required active and escalatory participation of Hezbollah and IRGC. However, Hezbollah and IRGC got a little too familiar with comfort. This is why I was saying Hezbollah should have skirmished with Israel earlier, particularly lower intensity /scale style in 2021. It should have joined the battle of Sayf Al Quds. Iran didn't let them because Iran is relying on information on paper to deter Israel from strikes on Iran. That being Hezbollah reprisal in case of strike on Iran. This was a deadly strategic mistake that Iran is paying to this day.

Hezbollah, had it joined Sayf Al Quds battle in 2021, even if Hamas didn't need it and faired fine, would have gained experience and closed security gaps that were existing that they weren't aware of.

It is all jacked up now because it's going to take a decade for Hezbollah and Hamas to recover and what we could of had pre-2023 never manifested because of strategic patience policies. If Iran and Hezbollah were even slightly aware of a Hamas operational plan to eliminate the IDF southern division, they should have manufactured a skirmish with Israel before that to test their readiness in preparation for such a scenario and 2021 was a perfect opportunity for that.

Unverified IRGC claim for now

Unverified IRGC claim for now

Iran shared daytime images of burning oil tanker

It is night time in Iran and region for awhile now

So is Iran announcing previous strikes just now? If so, the US already responded to it earlier and it's not a new response

Huh?

not sure about that because Sinwar was prepared for many Gazans deaths and called it worth it and was even prepared for Israel using nukes in Gaza

Looks like Iran (per attached video) has begun using optical guided drones like Ukraine/Russia

Spot on. And that's what happens when you make critical decisions based on emotions (and hope). Muslims nations have been guilty of this for centuries and simply refuse to learn.

Look at our enemies and how they operate: patience, precise planning, worst/best case scenarios worked out, preparations and so on....and then the first shot is fired. Whereas with us, first shot is fired first and then its all InshAllah from there on...and if it goes south (which it pretty much always does)it was God's will (they wash their hands off).

However, wouldnt say Israelis got this one right. They got overwhelmed with emotions too..

Thats what happens when extremists take over, they do harm all around. Worst thing that happened to Muslims was the likes of Al qaeda and ISIS and worst thing that is happening to Jews is the likes of Nethanyahu and his settler terrorists. Didnt take long for Al qaeda and ISIS to start killing muslims and same goes for settler terrorists, they will turn on jews sooner or later. We can already see signs of that happening.

Another wave of launches to strait of Hormuz

Has Iran finally realized strategic patience is a waste of time?
