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

[Awwad]

So does this mean that Iron Dome here also did not intercept Hamas rockets?

The images are completely similar, you will not see massive explosions and missile debris.

OMG!! There is a HUGE / MASSIVE difference. You don't see a quick burst of AA shells in this video. See the speed of burst of AA fire is so quick for fraction of second as its fuse is set to explode. Secondly, Hamas rockets are too tiny travelled only few Kms, but still you see a clear interception. If there is interception of a BM you definitely see a large burst of interception and not a quick tiny burst of AA shell.

I am amazed you guys in defense forums are unaware of AA-shells. That is not even a debate. Please read about it.

Trump personally hates Iran while other US leaders don't have that sort of personal hatred towards Iran.

If they hate the iranis, how do you think they feel about us?

KingQamaR made a good plausible theory on what happened. That is, Israel planned a stronger multi-wave attack, but the first wave failed to take out enough of the Irans IADS to punch through a hole, to allow waves 2,3 to get through to all the places they wanted to attack and they were subsequently called off.

We need to see the extent of damage in Iran from what Iran managed to achieve, but it does look like either Israel was either forced to do a smaller response by the Americans, or their attack itself failed to achieve their mission objectives.

It is possible that the IADS was robust and active enough to not give Israel the freedom of movement they wanted and needed to be able to do their mission.

If you consider how many USA assets have been moved into the area, the USA and Israel were/are expecting a big response, which suggests that Israels attack was meant to be far larger than what they managed to achieve, logically.

Question is what was destroyed in Irans IADS and how quickly can those holes be plugged quickly.

Israel's attack while causing some damage and death, failed relative to what their plans and missions were for the attack. However, in practical terms, they may have achieved more actual damage of "things" than Iran did with its strikes.

You were going well until the lasts sentence where you failed abjectly. Incorrect!

France & didn’t condemn but asked both parties to de-escalate.

They don't mind us. We don't have a leadership that is full of religious fanatics neither we face Washington fives a day and chant, "Death to America".

Agreed.
Your qibla faces Washington DC instead.

Those people with Pakistani and Afghan flags are well known anti-Iran trolls.

I'm starting to notice this behavior and it's quite noticeable to be honest.

Yep that should not happen. One must stick to facts & truth. I have always sided with Iran as I can never take side of Israel which is a genocidal maniacs.

But at the same time, I will always stick with facts. I will not glorify something is never done. I sided with Iran and fought against pro-israel trolls when they were mocking that Iranian strike was failed. I told them with videos that Iranian missiles actually penetrated israeli defenses and Iran has created a deterrence for itself in this regard.

But at the same time, I cannot accept the videos of plain old AA fire as interception of Israeli missiles. Its against my conscience to accept incorrect stuff.

If they hate the iranis, how do you think they feel about us?

If they could kill every single muslim of earth without consequence, they would do it with a big smile, also including the whole region except Israel

 

[jauk]

Obviously Iran has re-established majority deterrence via TP II. But if Iran wants to be king and have 100% deterrence Iran must respond to this attack regardless of how small it was.

I think the worst fears of the war in the Middle East escalating to WW3 are over for now. This limp response from Israel gives the message that the Anglo-Zionists have hit their limit and backed off. Hopefully they’ll back off from killing innocent women and children in Gaza and Lebanon as well.

The long term war will continue until the elimination of the Zionist settler entity. They have the blood of 200,000 innocents on their head, which has to be avenged.

What this war has achieved is the realization that Zion has to be extirpated for there to be peace in the Islamic world. It has also allowed Muslims to realize who the friends and foes are, both international and domestic. Everyone has been identified, from countries down to individuals.

Once this conflict winds down the next stage would be to start eliminating domestic traitors from Muslim countries.

Iran says 2 soldiers killed in Israeli strikes on military targets​

US says was informed of strikes but not involved; Pakistan says Israel bears "full responsibility" for escalation; UAE, Saudi Arabia condemn attack.

Iran said an Israeli attack targeted military sites in the Islamic republic on Saturday, killing two soldiers, almost a month after Israel vowed to avenge a missile barrage that raised fears of a full-scale Middle East war.

The Israeli military said its retaliatory air strikes hit Iran’s missile manufacturing facilities, missile installations and other systems in several regions. It warned Iran it would “pay a heavy price” if it responded.

A semi-official Iranian news agency vowed a “proportional reaction” to the Israeli moves against Tehran.

What we know so far:

• Targets did not include nuclear facilities, US official says
• US says was informed of plan but not involved, terms strikes “self-defence”
• Syrian state media reports Israeli strikes on Syrian military sites
• Middle East condemns “violation of sovereignty”, Britain urges Iran not to respond

---

Iranian media reported multiple explosions over several hours in the capital and at nearby military bases, starting shortly after 2am (10:30pm GMT on Friday).

Before dawn, Israel’s public broadcaster said three waves of strikes had been completed and that the operation was over.

Iran’s air defence force on Saturday confirmed an Israeli attack had targeted several military bases. The armed forces said later two soldiers were killed in the strikes.

“This fake regime (Israel) attacked parts of military centres in Tehran, Khuzestan and Ilam provinces,” it said in a statement, adding the attack “caused limited damage” while being intercepted.

Iranian state television had reported blasts around the capital due to the “activation of the air defence system” against an Israeli attack.

Videos carried by Iranian media showed air defences continuously firing at apparently incoming projectiles in central Tehran, without saying which sites were coming under attack.

Tasnim reported Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps bases that were attacked were not damaged and said Iran was resuming flights from 9am (5:30am GMT) after a suspension during Israel’s attack.

Neighbouring Iraq was also resuming flights, its state news agency said.

Israel targeted some military sites in Syria’s central and southern parts with airstrikes early on Saturday, Syrian state news agency Sana reported.

Israel has not confirmed striking Syria.

The Middle East has been on edge awaiting Israel’s retaliation for a ballistic missile barrage carried out by Iran on Oct 1, in which it fired around 200 missiles at Israel, killing one person in the Israel-occupied West Bank.

Tensions between arch-rivals Israel and Iran have escalated since Hamas, the Palestinian group based in Gaza, attacked Israel on Oct 7, 2023. Hamas has been supported by Lebanon-based Hezbollah, allegedly backed by Iran.

Fears that Iran and the US would be drawn into a regional war have risen with Israel’s intensifying assault on Hezbollah since last month, including airstrikes on the Lebanese capital Beirut and a ground operation, as well as its year-old offensive in Gaza.

Israel warns Iran against responding​

“In response to months of continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against the State of Israel right now the Israel Defence Forces is conducting precise strikes on military targets in Iran,” Israel’s military said in a statement announcing the attack.

The military said later it had completed its “targeted” attacks in Iran, striking truck missile manufacturing facilities and surface-to-air missile arrays, adding its planes had safely returned home.

“If the regime in Iran were to make the mistake of beginning a new round of escalation, we will be obligated to respond,” the military said.

Targets did not include energy infrastructure or Iran’s nuclear facilities, a US official said.

US President Joe Biden had warned that Washington, Israel’s main backer and supplier of arms, would not support a strike on Tehran’s nuclear sites and had said Israel should consider alternatives to attacking Iran’s oil fields.

Iranian authorities have repeatedly warned Israel against any attack.

Iran is “entitled and obligated to defend itself against external aggressive acts”, its foreign ministry said on Saturday after Israeli airstrikes on Iran’s military targets.

Calling the Israeli attack a violation of international law, the ministry said in a statement that Tehran “recognises its responsibilities towards regional peace and security”.

Earlier, citing sources, the semi-official Tasnim news agency said there was “no doubt that Israel will face a proportional reaction for any action it takes”.

US informed ahead of strikes​

Israel said PM Benjamin Netanyahu, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and other security officials closely followed the operation at the military’s command and control centre in Tel Aviv.

Gallant spoke to US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin shortly after Israel’s strikes began. Austin emphasised the enhanced force posture of the United States to defend US personnel, Israel and its partners across the region, the Pentagon said.

Israel notified the United States before striking, but Washington was not involved in the operation, a US official told Reuters.

Israel sent message to Iran before attack – reports
​

Jiyar Gol
BBC Persian correspondent

Before today’s attack, Israeli media reported that Israel, through a third party, had sent a message to Iran urging it not to retaliate.

The 1 October attacks by Iran on Israel, and Israel's strikes today on Iran, suggest that neither country seeks a full-scale war, with both taking steps to minimise casualties. Iran's oil and nuclear facilities, for instance, were deliberately avoided in the strikes.

Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari claimed the targets included missile production sites, surface-to-air missile locations, and air defence systems, adding that "Israel now has greater air manoeuvrability over Iran". The focus, it seems, is more on demonstrating military reach than on inflicting severe damage.

Iranian state media claims Israel is exaggerating the scale of today strikes on sensitive sites. In April, the Iranian government denied an attack targeting Iranian air defences near Isfahan, but last week, Gen. Jafari, former commander of the Revolutionary Guards, admitted it took place, though he minimised its impact.

In the coming days, many in Israel and Iran will be holding their breath to see if Iran retaliates – whether Iran will refrain from responding, as it did following the Isfahan incident, or choose a different course of action.
