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

1st volley: 11:30 pm
2nd volley: allegedly 1:30-1:45 am (appearing unlikely and false alarm)
 
I saw this comment on a YouTube video.

When Iran’s ballistic missile is fired from Isfahan toward Israel, the first to intercept it are the U.S. military in Iraq, the French Rafale fighter jets stationed in the UAE (which Saudi Arabia allows to use its airspace), and the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier patrolling the Persian Gulf with its state-of-the-art missile destroyers.

If the Iranian missile evades all these advanced weapons, it then faces the Jordanian Air Force, the U.S. military stationed in Jordan, and British Royal Air Force Typhoon and F-35 jets launched from Cyprus.

If the missile escapes these predators too, then Israel’s air defense system kicks in — first with the Arrow 3, which tries to intercept the missile 2,000 km away in outer space.

If that fails, the Arrow 2 attempts to destroy it between 1,500 km and 500 km within the atmosphere.Beyond that, the David’s Sling defense system pursues the missile from 300 km to as close as 40 km.

If the Iranian missile manages to dodge all these systems, it finally comes up against the Iron Dome, which attempts to intercept it between 70 km and 4 km from the target.

Now ask yourself: Does any other country’s missile face such an extensive network of obstacles before reaching its target? And remember, Iran’s ballistic missiles are domestically produced, while the weapons designed to stop them represent the peak of cutting-edge technology developed by the most advanced nations.

In such an incredibly complex defense environment, even if a few missiles manage to strike targets in Tel Aviv, it would be considered a major success for Iran.

It's worth noting that Iranian hypersonic missiles also managed to breach the layered defenses of the THAAD system and U.S. Navy destroyers equipped with Aegis and SM-6 interceptors. This highlights a significant development in Iran's strike capabilities and raises serious questions about the effectiveness of current missile defense systems against high-speed threats.
 
Semantics my friend. Thus why I worded my responses the way I did.

Israeli aircraft do not have to violate Jordanian or Saudi airspace to reach targets in Iran.

The straight route is through Jordan.
They may have taken the long way through Lebanon and Syria.

A single hit, in a residential neighborhood. As for the missile, that’s a standard ballistic missile, not an HGV.

Yes, some collateral damage. But that is not a "standard" missiles at that speed ....

Iran ballistic missiles either have awful CEP or they’re intentionally trying to murder Israeli citizens because Israel’s military is essentially untouched at this point.

They are targeting military installations, but some missiles will miss and cause some collateral damage for sure. It is absurd to suggest intent, all wars inflict collateral damage..
 
I am not sure how successful the Israelis have been, but in the Gulf war the combined effort of the allies didn't destroy a single scud launcher.
We can't compare a 35 year old situation with the current one.
 
I believe the Arab and Muslim populations of all these countries are rooting for Iran it’s these worthless gutless leaders who aren’t they are so stupid that they don’t know they all can be easily on the list next what if the Saudis Jordanians or Egyptians tomorrow decide to go against israeli or American interests they’re not immune
Hi,

Deep down every muslim is rooting for Iran---but most of us know it is a failing preposition---.

But iran---a nation living on rhetoric---religious zeal---not at all prepared for war against a modern fighting machine---. How could that happen---.

It happens when religious zealots get into the position of power and grab COMMAND & CONTROL positions in the military---.

When the criteria of becoming a general, a brigadier, a colonel is based on religious zealotry rather than looking for ability and capability---iran's tactics---assets---battle management strategy will never change---.

The imams will learn the hard way that wars are not won with drones and long distance missiles---but with strong air force first and foremost---.

If you cannot control the skies---better don't think of getting into a war---.
