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

[Arash]

this will escalate again before October

Yes but it's meaningless, Iran is already under max sanctions and the country is being absorbed in the east.

Surprisingly, one of Iran’s options is to reinstall the centrifuges at Fordow. The Defense Intelligence Agency report concludes that while the strike damaged the electrical system and collapsed the entrance tunnels, the underground enrichment hall remains intact. This helps explain why all these other underground facilities weren’t attacked. They are even deeper than Fordow. I guess the United States is going to need a bigger MOP.

All told, Iran likely retains the 900 pounds of highly enriched uranium that the IAEA said Iran had produced, as well as an extensive network of underground facilities to produce centrifuges, enrich the material further, and assemble it into a small stockpile of nuclear weapons if that’s what it chooses to do. It’s no surprise that the DIA thinks the program hasn’t been set back all that much.

Perhaps it is hard to square the limited impact of the bombing with the spectacular appearance of a bombing campaign, with its screaming missiles and thunderous explosions. It says a lot that one of the most impressive displays of airpower in history did so little to damage Iran’s nuclear program. This is precisely why, at the outset of the campaign, I made clear that the strike would likely only succeed if the Iranian regime fell.

While regime change by airpower always seemed to be a desperately long shot, it was somehow still more plausible than the obliteration of a large, dispersed, and deeply buried nuclear program such as Iran’s. I think that the Israelis knew that, too. After all, Netanyahu named the operation Rising Lion, after the national symbol of prerevolutionary Iran. Israel’s national animal is the gazelle.

Either way, I am sure the inevitable internal discussions in Iran will now look different, not least because there are going to be a number of new faces at the table. The United States and Israel have changed the regime in some sense—just maybe not in the way that they hoped.

I read somewhere that Somaliland and Comoros are the ones joining these shameful accords in few weeks time. Somaliland is a breakaway part of Somalia and wants recognition and trump/zios have also been searching for a place in Africa to ship off Palestinians too. Syria , Saudi Arabia and Oman are next on list alongwith considerable pressure on Pakistan to also normalize with Israel. I had not heard of Iraq on that list yet.

Imagine rewarding Israel for the immense violence cruelty and suffering it has inflicted on Muslims!

Pakistan could definitely face pressure, Turkey might try to persuade it to normalize too. But that would risk jeopardizing its relationship with China. Plus, I really don’t think Pakistan’s own population would allow it. The public sentiment there is strongly pro-Palestine, and any government trying to openly recognize Israel would face huge backlash.

But personally I think Turkey would use Pakistan as a wildcard for nuclear blackmail.

loads of bias!

no one knows the exact depth of sites, and, thats how it is, factually speaking!

importantly, it is questionable, if location of ventilation shafts is known!

There is still huge space for individual sanctions, I mean, don`t get me that my intention is to spread panic here... but don`t be surprised if one day you find msm article `...among others, under sanction now is also pro-iranian profile on defencepk, notorious Arash, and mossad already sent elite Trojan Horse unit after his email and check fingering`...

That's not true at all.

Not only the exact depths of Iran's nuclear sites are known, but the IAEA knows even their complete layouts and has the blueprints.

This is the worst poster on this platform then de-normalize relations with KSA, UAE, GCC, Egypt, Turkey, Azerbaijan and everyone in the region and make an island of yourself then.

You have me syndrome.. Not sure how old you are either but we should refrain from politics because you don´t understand the dynamics

@Persian Gulf Is it possible to thread-ban this troll?
He's been derailing the thread for too long already, touching on completely off-topic issues.
The majority of his posts are of no military value, most of them show complete lack of understanding and some of them are ad hominem attacks, like this one.

You are the one posting ME against the whole world posts.. If it was true it would have made sense but it is entirely BS.

You posts are like this..

´´Iran against the WORLD´´

It is as if you exist in a romantic action movie where everything surrounds you and your actress love interests against the whole world.

But what can Iran target in Azerbaijan proportionally to what they did on Iran? Launch some drones on their intelligence agency?

Also Alyev will probably try to do something in response

Western Elites controlled by Zionists are playing a very dangerous game, they have let lose Israel the mad rabid dog in ME to harass and threat the population into submission, Arabs with their fancy palaces and silk gowns have surrender years ago, and now they are so deep into their block that even a hint from a leader such as SIsi, MBS or whatever the name of Abu Dhabi's ****, they will be assassinated by their own sons/cousins or uncles to usurp Power, The Arab world display why Rasool Allah SAW warned again and again to stay away from the luxuries of Duniya, they didn't listen and here we are, Zionists has turn major Arab leaders into their private pets which turn the wider Islamic world under their total control, In case of war I'd be more worried about the Arabs and so called Muslims than any western Army. You can fight a enemy that is in-front of you but its hard to fight a enemy that you call brother in faith and open your houses too.

If Iran is smart they will quickly buy Chinese J-10's with urgent delivery, train with PAF pilots, and For the love of God, Test the God Damn nuke and put the warhead into 5-10 BM and aim at Israel, there is no other way to tame this rabid dog because Iran is not fighting Israel, they are fighting the whole west and Arabs, while Russians chicken out and busy getting killed in Ukraine. I would don't even rely too much on Pakistan for anything, the only Iran's survival is guaranteed if they test the nuclear weapons ASAP.

with functional radars this allegation can be easy to prove
