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

[Master Chief]

The irony of Iran getting attacked by Shahed drone and only having small arms to shoot it down and missing.

Guess those “formidable” air defenses on the coast aren’t holding up.

No. You have misunderstood the objective of these cheap drone attacks by US. They seek to expose air defence positions for a further attack by missiles or larger payloads. It is actually sensible to engage cheap Lucas drones with small arms while keeping your Majids hidden. Pakistan and India both adopted this strategy in the 2025 conflict.

What is actually needed is an improvement in cheap, low-end drone defence, such as some of the devices used in Ukraine-Russia.

I see you're spreading disinformation and falsehood again, kiddo.

Iran has been under foreign govts and intelligence services attacks since the revolution in 1979, because the Islamic system in Iran ,in their perception (at least), blocks or interferes with their plans to dominate and control the region, and that is not a narrative, that's the historical truth.

Yeah, it's true, I didnt say it were false.

I mean, it's something true since 1979 in Iran and since 1959 in Cuba, that it's well used by rulers in public speech to achieve unity in the country. So nothing new here.

"Regarding what happened last night, there is currently no evidence that these Iranian attacks were successful, the satellite image that's circulating actually dates back to June, exactly five months ago."

The only way to replace the dollar is with gold and silver. To by pass digital control with physical metal, to return to historic money. Except China is not for that. Chinese members here admitted that China stacks gold as a bludgeon against the US, never planned to be used to back the Yuan. China wants a Green Yuan to defeat the dollar, says Chinese, I told them that is no competition to US dollar control. The last opportunity China had to defeat the US was when Biden took office in 2021 and China should have gone to gold as money. US response would have been weak for years, and a response would have precipitated a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, no data center, no chips out of Taiwan for years. Instead a war with Ukraine was greenlighted and you got sanctions and another war in Gaza was greenlighted in 2023 by the Resistance Axis, and you get blowback of war on Iran with Hezbollah and Hamas defeated before the war on Iran. I was telling the Chinese members that early 2025 was too late:

China needs to jump the gun on this before it is too late. It is 4 years too late and getting later by the month and day.

China does not have decades to go to a gold backed yuan, Washington deepstate cia Republicans are wanting to beat China in revolutionizing money. Before China destroys the dollar with a gold backed yuan, the US cia criminals want to go to a bitcoin- backed dollar.

China has to act quickly, ASAP, or else the Trump war on gold would have defeated China. As the globe is forced to accept...

China has terrible advisors in Beijing in Sachs and other Westerners. They told China to outsource their war to Russia fighting the West and to wait for the USA to collapse. Horrible decision making. Russia is handing China a stronger US than the collapsing US in 2021 with Biden.

There were literally idiots on the old forum that expected controlled opposition Biden to send US troops into Ukraine to lose to Russia, so China could get a victory and invade Taiwan.

China has terrible advisors. Was supportive of inflation during the Biden years that hurt weak Biden, inflation that ushered in trump. Yet when Iran causes inflation to defeat trump, China cries and complains.

China calls for end to Iran war to prevent further shocks to global economy: spokesperson

The latest IMF report once again proves that the Iran conflict has not only caused heavy casualties and losses, but also severe spillover effects that are hampering global economic growth and the improvement of people's wellbeing, Chinese foreign ministry

If you alert the countries to this, the cia trolls online get pissed. I could name a few.

China will not act in the way you have suggested. Our understanding of many issues is fundamentally different.

1. To us, neither gold nor the U.S. dollar represents the essence of things; they are merely surface-level manifestations. What is the true nature of currency? Perhaps this is a question worth your careful reflection.

2. The Chinese people are very fond of Donald Trump and have actively supported him. Even now, we still hold a favorable view of him—despite the fact that he appears to have done many things that “harm” China. However, our interpretation of such “harm” is entirely different.

Iran’s neighbors poke huge holes in Trump’s land blockade

Washington’s push to complement its maritime blockade of Iran with something similar along its land borders has run into heavy resistance, with US officials failing to pressure neighboring countries to stop overland trade with the Islamic Republic after spending several weeks trying to do so.

Three anonymous Iraqi officials and one US official told NYT the US concentrated its pressure campaign on Iraq, Turkey and Pakistan, with Iran’s neighbors said to be “increasingly wary and disgruntled” over Washington’s policies, which they fear will “hurt them as much as Tehran.”

The report comes in the wake of CENTCOM’s announcement of a new “Task Force Iron Gate” initiative to “monitor, detect and disrupt” the transfer of arms, tech, sanctioned materials and revenue streams along Iran’s entire 6.6k km land and Caspian frontier.

A US military official said the task force, headquartered in Florida and staffed by 20 civilian and military personnel, would not involve any military operations, but pressure Iran’s neighbors to “use their own militaries” to crack down on items CENTCOM deems illicit.

The US official said Iran’s neighbors have cited risks of “civil insurrection” if they did what Washington is asking.

Sources said Turkey has been the most forceful in “largely refusing” US pressure, with Iraq trying to “placate both sides,” refusing overall, while temporarily closing a couple crossings, amid “huge uproar among its own population.” Pakistan has taken a similar approach as Iraq due to similar concerns.

Iran has waged its own diplomatic campaign urging neighbors to reject US demands. Iraq, Turkey and Pakistan recorded $10B, 5.8B and $3.2B in trade with Iran in 2025, respectively, with major imports including energy, petrochemicals, metals, agricultural and consumer goods, and exports to Iran including commodities, machinery, cereals and livestock.

Tehran has sought to counter the US blockade through overland and regional trade routes, including the North-South Transit Corridor, and worked to deepen economic interdependence with neighbors. The government has also created a “zero oil” budgeting contingency for the new fiscal year that starts in March 2027.

No more nuclear weapons ban. No more 2000km missile ban of khamenei.

If Iran i to survive as a country, its national goal must be what north korea achieved. A nuclear missile aimed at mainland USA.

Thats the only language these savages understand

What will happen to the children of Iranian officials and oligarchs in Europe and North America then? What will tovarisch Putin say? What will the "greatest anti-imperialist force of the Global South" (China) say?

Trust me, we can talk about nuclear weapons here all we want. There will be none. Not only our fissile material is gone, Iran cannot keep even its national securities hidden anymore. Nukes are out of our reach now, just like Sukhoi-35s that will never be delivered.

Here's the new reality: Iran will turn into Syria 2.0 soon. The country will enter chaos soon, due to poverty and probably famine. The Ayatollahs have no will to fight and the Americans are not going to lift the blockade and will only tighten the screws.
