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

[pashtunkoum]

Now restrictions in Israel also lifted pretty much confirms Iranian missile launchers have been comprised.

In a way this could be a good way to end it for all parties. Beyond this Iran will get involved in insurgency and you do not want that

IMO in 3 days , their Ucav can't enter Iran air space effectively , their agents will only try too flee , our air force will come back to action , our AD will fully control our lost air space ... this will turn to one side slaughter....

Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz says Israel is now able to "gradually open" up in several parts of the country, calling it a "message of victory" over Iran.

Katz says that, as well as protecting the Israeli population, they are "beginning a gradual process of opening the economy and the various regions" depending on security considerations.

This suggests the government believes the risk of attacks has gone down.

He also says the "intense fighting" against Iran will carry on "until the threats are removed".

Here's what's happened since the conflict started: BBC

On Friday, Israel hit multiple sites including a nuclear facility and residential areas in Tehran, which killed a number of senior commanders of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), nuclear scientists, and civilians. Iran then retaliated by launching drones and a ballistic missile at military centres and airbases in Israel.

Over the weekend, strikes from both sides continued and oil infrastructure was hit. Israel said at least 20 people were killed in multiple different strikes, leading into Monday. Meanwhile, Iran's health ministry said 224 people had been killed and 1,277 injured as of Sunday evening.

On Monday Israel issued an evacuation order for northern parts of Tehran. Later that day, US President Donald Trump posted on social media that "everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran".

On Tuesday, people tried to flee Tehran - which has a population of 10 million people - and traffic jams were reported around the city. Separately in a social media post, Trump wrote that Khamenei is "an easy target", but that they are not going to "take him out" for now.

It's a fast-moving situation, and we'll continue to bring you the latest.

Putin makes Iran-Israeli mediation pitch in call with UAE president​

The leaders of Russia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) warn of “extremely negative consequences” from the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, as Russian President Vladimir Putin pushes himself as a possible mediator, AFP reports.

In a phone call with UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, Putin “confirmed Russia’s readiness to provide mediation assistance to promote dialogue between the parties to the conflict”, the Kremlin said in a statement.

The two leaders “expressed deep concern over the continuing escalation of the Iranian-Israeli conflict, which could have extremely negative consequences for the entire region”, Moscow added.

Poor Putin thinks he holds any value.

Guess he doesn’t realize constantly abandoning your allies is not a good strategy for this wannabe superpower

A critical juncture
BBC​

Frank Gardner
Security correspondent

This conflict has now reached a critical juncture. What Donald Trump decides to do or not to do could shape what happens next in the Middle East.

Today’s televised broadcast from Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has dispelled any misguided hopes that the Islamic Republic was about to sue for peace.

On the contrary, the ageing Ayatollah has thrown down his own gauntlet to Trump, threatening dire retaliation if America joins in Israel’s attacks.

Iran may have been severely weakened, not just by the last few days’ sustained Israeli air strikes but by the loss or dismantling of its regional proxies in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza.

But it can still do a lot of damage. Top of its target list if the US attacks Iran will be the numerous US bases spread up and down the Gulf. The US Navy’s 5th Fleet HQ at Mina Salman in Bahrain is an obvious target but so too are America’s bases in Iraq and Kuwait.

But it doesn’t end there. The September 2019 massed drone attack on Saudi Arabia’s petrochemical industry was a salutary lesson in just how vulnerable the Gulf’s economic assets are to Iranian missiles and drones.

If the Iranian regime felt its very survival was in danger, or if it decided its Gulf Arab neighbours were complicit in attacking it then it could well be tempted to lash out at desalination plants, oil export terminals or even mine the strategic Strait of Hormuz, choking off nearly 30% of the world’s oil supplies.

Hi

Firstly it is important to state what the Israelis and Americans are doing is NOT to degrade the Iranian Nuclear program, it is to carry out a forced regieme change.

But since you asked the question allow me to help

As you can see from the above timeline which I have created sorry its a little long xD... Iran has worked really hard to develop its nuclear program which is largely peaceful but you will seen that it has taken 10 years for Iran to spin enough centrifuges to get its 20% enriched uranium to 60% uranium. For reference 90% purity enriched Uranium is what is required for the development of nuclear weapons.

View attachment 129085
What the Israelis are trying to do by targeting Iranian nuclear sites is to destroy those centrifuges that purify Iran's uranium, doing so will set Iran's nuclear program back decades.

Iran's current Enrichment stockpiles:

How long would it take for Iran to develop a weapon (IN THEORY)

Note: Data is from the latest International Atomic Energy Agency monitoring report for each each year and is current as of May 17, 2025. Values represent production of enriched uranium material. Building a nuclear weapon would require more time before it was viable.

There is a clip going around in which an analyst on Israeli TV is accusing Pakistan of providing arms to Iran.
