Couldn't be more wrong. We literally faced a fleet of 70+ IAF in attack formation. Which was later joined by 40 more . They were carrying Israeli munitions, and we knocked them out in their own airspace. One kill was over 160km They were grounded for 2 days.

Also we have excess to Chinese satalites and intelligence gathering platforms. We knew they were assembling hours beforehand.

إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ

Please accept my condolences for the martyrs.

Indeed night is the darkest just before the dawn. Irani people are strong! and will come out stronger!​

Character of the nation is measured by whom its enemies are! Iran is only nation who has stood up against Zionism.

2ndly lack of response or timid response uptil now should not worry Iranians they have seen worst at the time of Iraqi invasion in 1980.

at least i am pretty sure it's just the beginning of the War. "Malhama" we as Muslims will win!

new wave of drones launched from Iran



at least Artesh can get things going for now by launching Arash-2 drones while IRGC regroups

It would appear Mossad didn't target drone facilities like it targeted air defences from within.

You call this a reference ? some BS site from India that even BJP might have never heard of ? This is not the thread for it otherwise bring me anything you accuse others of, and I'll get you the exact same things done by IK, but 5 times more worse, corrupt and brutal. From some credible places, not some BS Indian sites clearly designed to post such fake articled against Pak Army. Now run along ...

This is Iran Israel thread no more talk of Political circus

In the muslim world people like you are the problem.

When western nations kill 100 million of each other in 2 world wars if they fight Muslims they are united always

But when Muslims need unity we start pointing fingers

People like you exist which is why where we are

I mean what he said was right you should have countered his points instead of ranting about Muslim Ummah etc

Don't worry guys, Putin will condemn him as hard as possible.

Why Israel struck Iran on Friday morning - analysis​

This operation marks a new phase, not only militarily, but strategically. Iran’s ambitions are no longer hypothetical. The danger is here, and the choice was between preemption and regret​

Just after dawn on Friday, Israel launched a targeted military strike deep into Iranian territory. The operation, long in the making, was triggered by a dramatic shift in Tehran’s nuclear program and the growing sense among Israel’s defense establishment that time had simply run out.

Iran had crossed a critical threshold. Intelligence assessments showed the regime had enriched enough uranium to produce approximately 15 nuclear warheads and was actively conducting tests. The pace, the scope, and the intent had changed. What had once been described in abstract terms—potential, capability, intent—had now become operational reality.

This shift didn’t happen in isolation. It came alongside increasing signs that Iran was transferring advanced weaponry and strategic guidance to its proxies, particularly Hamas and Hezbollah. Recent discoveries in Gaza included components and materials that pointed directly to Iranian support, including coordination for multi-front attacks. Tehran wasn’t just building a bomb; it was building a plan.

According to senior military sources, the operation was greenlit when three elements converged: the nuclear program’s rapid acceleration, tangible evidence of Iran’s regional war doctrine taking shape, and the narrowing window for effective action. From the perspective of those planning the strike, this was the final moment to act before Israel’s intelligence and operational edge would begin to erode.

The goal was not to eliminate Iran’s nuclear project in its entirety. No one in the IDF believes that’s possible in a single blow. The mission was designed to delay, disrupt, and signal—both to Tehran and to other watching capitals—that Israel’s red lines are not rhetorical.

Israeli officials are preparing for a broader conflict​

This time, though, there’s a growing recognition that what follows may not look like past rounds. It may last longer. It may be more lethal. Israeli officials are preparing for a broader conflict—one that could unfold across multiple fronts, from Lebanon to Yemen to Syria and Gaza. The Home Front Command has already shifted protocols. Underground parking garages are open. Stairwells are no longer considered safe. Reinforced rooms and shelters are the new minimum standard.
Unlike previous confrontations, where deterrence was restored through a quick exchange of fire, the current moment feels different. The stakes are higher. The margins for error are thinner. And the risk of miscalculation—on both sides—is real.

This operation marks the beginning of a new phase—not only militarily, but strategically. Iran’s ambitions are no longer hypothetical. The danger is here, and the choice was between preemption and regret.

For years, Israeli leaders have said they would not allow Iran to become a nuclear power. On Friday morning, that policy was tested. And this time, Israel didn’t blink.

Here’s what you need to know.

• An unprecedented attack: Israel used 200 fighter jets to hit Iran, dropping more than 330 “various munitions” and striking more than 100 targets across the country, the IDF said. The attack is ongoing, with a military source telling CNN earlier, “This is not a one-day attack.”
• Key figures killed: Several of the most important men in Iran’s military and its nuclear program were killed, including the commander-in-chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces, and a close aide to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Top nuclear scientists were also targeted, dealing a potentially major blow to the country’s nuclear program and its chain of command.
• Nuclear sites targeted: Iran’s main nuclear enrichment facility, Natanz, was damaged in Israel’s attack on Friday, the Iranian atomic energy agency said. The site houses thousands of centrifuges, used to enrich uranium for nuclear energy. But no increase in radiation levels has been observed there, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said, and other key, well-fortified nuclear sites were not hit.
• New strikes on Friday: Iranian state media said a fresh Israeli attack targeted the northwestern city of Tabriz on Friday morning, showing a large plume of smoke rising after an explosion. Tasnim news agency said Tabriz Airport was “currently under heavy Israeli attack.”
• Iran strikes back: Israel has started to shoot down Iranian drones heading toward the country, an IDF official said. Israel has declared a state of emergency, closing schools, banning social gatherings and advising against non-essential work. The Israeli military is calling up “tens of thousands” of soldiers to prepare for what comes next. Much of the airspace above the Middle East has been closed.
• Trump warns Tehran: In a post on Truth Social early Friday morning, US President Donald Trump told Iran to agree to a nuclear deal “before there is nothing left,” and warned that subsequent Israeli attacks on the country will be “even more brutal.” The US had been hopeful of a deal being reached earlier this week, but Friday’s attacks make that prospect seem suddenly more distant.

India's supersonic threat can rob PAF's ability to get into the air.

The first nation to study Iran's undoing should be Pakistan.

We've become way too ignorant and overconfident after the recent skirmish. Biggest worry is India using its Brahmos etc at scale and decimating our airbases before we can put assets up there. This is a very real possibility. IMO, air defence is a fraud. You just cant defend specially with Pak's depth and the increasing use of hypersonic/supersonic munitions from India's side.

I've been working in SPD for many years and let me tell you that we aren't ready for a long engagement. We should be stockpiling asap whatever plausible solutions China has to offer. Tons and tons of money is needed. Iranian leadership played with fire and made too much noise without real capabilities at scale. Pakistan cannot repeat the same. Less noise, more effort. Tons and tons of effort.

This new tactic of Spider-WEB drone attacks and Single person FPV drones are the most dangerous. Pakistan must make sure this does not happens. India is supported by Entity and will learn to utilise the tactics.

RAW conducting operation Drones to Hit SAM Sites and airbases is far far more dangerous for Pakistan then Brahmos GL SSCM
