You’ve lived your entire life to old age. But who will pay the price of your incompetence? You favoured loyalty over competence and weakened your own military. You did not have the courtesy to leave power for someone who had better understanding of modern war.

he has only advisory role....!
by my understanding, he cant tell, IR civil bureaucracy is under no body's dictation..
Airforce has a mind of its own, quite literally!

Its standard Israeli doctrine to attack civilians so as to pressure the combatants. You have seen this in Gaza and Lebanon and even before that. Remember that for Israel, this is a regime change operation and they want people to come out and overthrow the govt. This is meant to push them in that direction.

From CNN’s Mostafa Salem, Gianluca Mezzofiore and Eugenia Yosef

A hospital in Iran’s western city of Kermanshah was damaged when Israel struck the region on Monday, Iranian state media reported.

CNN has verified the location of one of several videos published by state-affiliated media showing damage to the Farabi hospital.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei accused Israel of targeting the hospital. The Israel Defense Forces told CNN that it is “not aware of any attack that happened on a hospital in Iran.”

Footage published by Fars News Agency showed a collapsed ceiling in a section of the hospital where beds were located. State affiliated-Tasnim News Agency said the facility’s intensive care unit (ICU) was the most heavily damaged part of the hospital. Patients in (ICU) wards were injured by broken glass and the ceiling collapse, Tasnim news agency said.

Now here's a post you uploaded that's actually meaningful! Man knows what his saying. Being telling you. Relatively cheap missiles will win any day over over expensive interceptors. Quantity is a quality of it's own! Especially in Iranian case when quantity is seasoned with quality. A few more days and nights and then we'll be out of entertainment. It saddens me. Unless the US decides to also help provide entertainment for us. God I'm felling guilty for wishing for all this to continue.

Pakistan has the strongest muslim army on earth. are they not going to offer any help? even intelligence sharing?

Maybe intelligence sharing and tech assistance but beyond that no. Pakistanis want to be loved and respected by white man in West above all, and after that Arab kings and princes. A layer of sectarianism is also present.

Better than sending nothing up I guess. Yeah, some of you pointy things have got through, but what exactly have they hit apart from down town Tel Aviv apartment buildings? Have you destroyed any Israeli airbases? Radars? Air defence assets? While it may look good to see hyersonics getting through and striking Israel, they haven't really destroyed much capability of the Israelis have they?

What point are you trying to make?

Iran rules out negotiations with US until it completes retaliation against Israel, regional diplomat says​

From CNN’s Mostafa Salem

Iran told Oman and Qatar that it will not be engaging in negotiations with the United States while Iranian cities “remain under attack” from Israel, and until Tehran’s response is complete, a regional diplomat told CNN.

The diplomat said media reports saying Iran asked Oman and Qatar to mediate with the US to secure a ceasefire with Israel and restart nuclear talks “are inaccurate.”

The diplomat did not say when Iran plans to complete its retaliation.

Oman’s Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi said over the weekend that the sixth round of negotiations between Tehran and Washington scheduled for yesterday was canceled, but “diplomacy and dialogue remain the only pathway to lasting peace.”

The state-run Oman News Agency said today that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told the Sultan of Oman Haitham bin Tariq Al Said in a call today that he “supports diplomatic solutions through dialogue and negotiation.”

On Saturday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that negotiations with the United States are “unjustifiable” amid Israeli strikes on Iranian cities.

Airdefence is not effective at all

At the beginning they jammed your Air defence systems. Your Air defence system do work night time day time I don’t know it they’re been diminished or not. Israeli Air Force are using Iraqi Airspace to launch attacks on Iran.

It is just a matter of days​

Why it will be hard for Trump to stay out of the conflict with Iran​

President Donald Trump is desperate not to fight a war with Iran.

But can he really avoid it?

Compelling national security arguments and domestic political considerations mean it makes sense to stop short of direct US offensive operations in the long-dreaded conflict that Israel describes as a matter of preserving its own existence.

But powerful forces could suck America deeper into the conflict than its current role in helping to shield Israel from Iran’s deadly rain of missiles and drones.

CNN reported that over the weekend, Trump rejected an Israeli plan to kill Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to two sources.

But some of this is out of Trump’s hands.

First off, start by ignoring CNN. You'll feel better and can thank me later. They are no fans of the President and would love nothing more than to be able to fire up their spin machines and say "SEE???? WE TOLD YOU!!!!!" if he were to order a US attack on Iran.

The President has been clear, as I stated last night, that so long as Iran doesn't target US bases in the region, we won't target Iran. And, I believe him.

As for the damage at the former US Embassy in TLV; anything further by the US may be driven by the damage assessments. Do not doubt me when I say the US and Iran are likely speaking through some back channel to try to minimize whatever damage there was to the grounds and building. So long as the damage is minimal, things will stay the way they are. Any indication of a targeted strike and the situation going forward may be very different.

Remember what happened after the first WTC bombing. We really didn't do too much other than half-assed trying to kill bin Laden and Clinton saying this was a law enforcement matter. On 9-11, it was a whole different story.

Blasts heard in western Tehran​

I’m hearing from people in western Tehran that they have heard loud explosions.

Videos and images emerging on Iranian social media of smoke rising appears to show the nearby mountains being targeted.

Iranian outlets have reported that the city’s air defence has been activated in western Tehran, while the IRGC-affiliated Fars news agency says Israel has targeted a military base in the area.
