Kept saying it for years and years and got bashed relentlessly. Called Khamenei names right here on this forum and was condemned.Theres no defence without nukes. None. What has he done. He endangered the whole nation

we are past the stage of 'endangered'

Russia has absolutely betrayed us. Fucking betrayed us

Israel wipes out IRGC-ASF leadership and this guy is still talking about deterrence

@Persian Gulf ...Bro what the heck is happening. Why can't we even fire barrage of 20 missiles. I'm getting nervous now. I really am

Nothing will happen without boots on the ground, I don't think that'll happen. The main think right now is for the regime to have the military and Sepah ground forces ready to take controll of the country. We need to control of our territory when they start bombing us heavy.

- Saving arsenal for war with US, they will need salvos for taking out Gulf Oil depots on which petro USD stands. A dream scenario for Russia, China if it comes to that.

- They already have ravaged the Israeli AD to a point that hit rate is increasing so focus is on saving missiles for now.

- Israeli drone PGM and Aeroballistic attack resulting damage needs to be repaired as well.

Iran's nuclear enrichment capabilities have been set back, UN watchdog chief says​

From CNN’s Michael Rios

Israeli strikes have set back Iran’s nuclear enrichment capabilities “significantly” but not completely, the head of the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog told CNN.

Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency Rafael Grossi told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour that the strikes have damaged several nuclear sites, with Natanz being the worst-hit. Its above-ground enrichment facility has been “completely destroyed,” while its electrical installations were also “taken out,” causing the underground centrifuges to malfunction.

About three or four buildings at the Isfahan nuclear site also suffered “considerable” damage but its underground facilities appear to have been unaffected.

The Fordow enrichment site, meanwhile, doesn’t appear to have major damage other than “perimetral impacts,” Grossi said.

Asked how much time Iran would have needed to theoretically develop a nuclear weapon, Grossi suggested that it wasn’t a matter of days but it wouldn’t take years either.

“I would dare be perhaps more serious about this. I don’t think it (would be) a matter of years. But this is speculation,” he said.

I am an ethno-nationalist Iranian from North West. It makes my blood boil to see Iran without nuclear weapons when we could have had the same capability in 1990s when first IR-1 and IR-2 started spinning in Iran. Today Iran literally could have had 250+ Devices if Khamenei was not being a two bit peace dove with everyone. IRI has the resources, local mining, local STEM brain, it has the oil money that it wasted on Hamas, Hezbollah, Iraqi militias, Yemen, Afghanistan and what not. IRGCAF's delivery system with such an arsenal would have made enemies of Iran piss in their pants but Khamenei chose to piss on Iranian deterrence. He will end up getting 1-2 million Iranians killed because of his no-balls policies.

Khamenei the traitor needs to go !

I wouldn't call Khameni's actions (as you described them) treasonous. He acted naively, stupidly, and with short-sightedness. The traitors are the ones sabotaging Iran from within.

Netanyahu is the "greatest threat" to security in the Middle East, Turkey's president says​

From CNN’s Catherine Nicholls

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the “greatest threat” to security in the Middle East, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said today, according to a social media post from the Turkish Presidency.

“Netanyahu has once again demonstrated that he is the greatest threat to the region’s security,” Erdogan told the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, in a phone call, the presidency said in a post on X.

“Noting that he has been holding intensive diplomatic contacts regarding the clashes triggered by Israel’s attacks on Iran, President Erdogan said that he will continue his efforts to end the spiral of violence,” the post said.
“Stressing that Israel’s attacks cannot be allowed to overshadow the humanitarian crisis and genocide in Gaza, President Erdogan warned against letting the incidents engulf Syria, too,” it continued.

Since Israel’s war in Gaza began, Erdogan has been one of Israel’s harshest and most vocal critics — routinely branding it a terror state and comparing Netanyahu to Hitler.

PJAK terrorism.

CLASSICAL FAKE NEWS. I announced what they were going to do and say for months, right here on this forum.They tripled the fake news after they were hit hard. It's air control, flee Tehran and so on...

Gracias amigo.

Probably 15 pages or so back now (who knows, maybe 20), I actually posted the Merz tweet and inquired Rescue Ranger and Fatman17 about any impacts with Pakistan's love for German weaponry.

 

[Erroroverload]

are we going to wait for the US to attack us like we waited for Israel to attack us?

really sad state of affairs, US direct attack is imminent and before that Iran should bring out what ever she had and level those scums. its already too late.

Trump's meeting with national security team in Situation Room has started​

From CNN's Kaitlan Collins

US President Donald Trump is meeting with his national security team in the Situation Room, according to a White House official.

It comes as the president weighs if the US should get further involved with the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. He left the Group of 7 summit in Canada a day early yesterday to return to Washington.

Some more background: Israel has asked the United States for a purely “defensive posture” amid its conflict with Iran, Israeli Ambassador to US Yechiel Leiter told CNN.

More than 30 US aerial refueling tankers have been surged to the region over the last several days to prepare for the possibility that Trump decides to order the US Air Force to help refuel Israeli fighter jets as they carry out strikes over Iran, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

I don't want to write something that will hurt the feelings of our shia brethren, but yes, they can't go against the fatwa given by an Ayatollah. And it is not possible to take back the fatwa too.

Anyway, I have very limited knowledge of the fatwa system in Shia islam, so can't comment on it further. For me, it was the most stupid fatwa I have ever heard from someone whose entire nation was living with an existential threat for decades.

You sure? Normally in Islam a scholar can take back a fatwa aswell, fatwa is just a religious ruling depending on a given situation, at times situation can change and fatwa changes ie getting bombed by Israel hint hint Ayatullah sahib.

 

[PakFactor]

There is an odd grey area at play here.
Media from particular blocs is painting the picture as if its over. Trumps statements seem to indicate that Israel is either stretched to its capacity or there is concern from them on taking losses without full US intervention(refuellers and EW are not going into a zone).

I do not think there is concern, but rather the U.S. sees an opportunity to strike after Iran has exhausted all options to counter and is wounded; the Americans smell blood.

Israel is far from taking any losses that would concern the Americans.
