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

[Garcia Sea]

How many times must we be deceived by this tactic of lulling us into complacency with peace negotiations, only to launch a surprise attack?
There is no choice but full scale war , the Ayatollahs must face reality.
If this continues, Iran will collapse in no time, and a puppet regime will be established.

 

[Immortals]

As long as pickaxe mountain enrichment hall (100M+ under mountain bedrock) was untouched then what happens to Fordow is irrelevant.

The question is whether Iran has a political will to maintain its nuclear program and go for a weaponization. You can have all these fancy sites but if the political will is not there then it’s worthless.

 

[Watandar]

yeah, I never expected Iran to put up any fight against the US. But if Trump got what he wants and left. Are we free to finish Israel? Was that the deal maybe? He gets fordow and we get to smash Israel?

No sir. He gets to drop bombs on the sites and the "war" ends. Could be why Iran didnt shoot any missiles at Israel all of Saturday.

I will say, there's is a 90% chance that these strikes failed in destroying the underground facilities.

If they failed, then Iran needs to test nuclear

 

[Mr X]

I will say, theirs is a 90% chance that these strikes failed in destroying the underground facilities.

That’s exactly my first impression is. It was built deep under the mountain and Iran already knew what was coming so it must have taken precautions to take 30,000 pound of explosive.

It doesn't don't hold your breath

Dont be surprised , today was the day we all knew they will hit Iran.....The question is what Iran will do next..... We will see in a few hours....

GBU 57 doesnt have 30000 pounds of explosives ....It only have close to 2500 KG the casing itself is carrying the rest of the weight.......

 

[Falcon29]

This is exactly my initial impression when I read Trumps tweet, there must've been some backdoor deal between him and IRI to do some performative quick strike so Trump can claim mission accomplished and bring this situation to a close. No way he actually managed to destroy Iranian nuclear program completely, especially not this quickly and quietly in such short order without anyone even noticing despite everyone's attention being focused on the region. Nothing else would makes sense to me right now, it had to been performative.

Assuming this isn't a cope.

If you're doing some backdoor deals with USA and Israel, I have no faith in your leadership whatsoever and won't trust them in anything.

It's not a good look.

 

[SolarWarden]

Vinson and Nimitz have gone dark. Likely waiting for an Iranian response of some kind.

 

[mangekyo]

Trump? He doesn't need one. Maga cult will support it. Americans could care less.

Israel is happy and hoping for a strike on US bases. Israeli bloodsuckers are eating the meat off the bones of American taxpayers.

So just accept the loss vs the US and beat Israel at least.

 

[F-22Raptor]

Trump to address the nation tonight

 

[PakistaniDefender]

Bro, it was multiple bombs not just 1

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

Guess they didn't plan for a forever Ukraine war. Or did they expect the Middle East to blow up.

Um...contrary to popular opinion it looks like there's plenty of weapons left:

U.S. warplanes carry out strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran, Trump says, calling the attack ‘successful’​

Yes, Iran has been granted full access to China's BeiDou satellite navigation system for military purposes.

Well considering the above bombing that certainly didn't help them much. The usual "too little...too late".

 

[Watandar]

That would be the cold and calculated move to make, but maybe politically impossible for IRI.

 

[Falcon29]

Yeah, in this case I'm against a response on US forces/bases. Let Trump get his hour of fame and glory he wants.

Negotiations under fire are still ongoing. I would strike at Israel and make a go for Dimona facility.

I would also start destabilizing Persian Gulf slowly by targeting oil tankers with first stage of escalation.
