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

[ToddE]

Why would they trust new people when their old agent is doing fine?
He has the best medical care available to him right next to him in his "Beyt".
He looks even healthier than us, at 86.

They are all old and trusted. Khamenei led destruction of Iran as a nation may have an ideological origin in him being a Marxist minded Mullah who hated progress but likes of vultures waiting for his departure are pure new money profiteers, hence even more reliable for enemies of Iran to use them against the nation.

Not too long ago, someone broke a story about Larijani family being British deployed agents. I forgot who did it but it was there. So Russia is not the only one with hands inside Iran.

What a shit show IRI is. Shah should have cracked down harder on these traitors but he himself was a world class Pu$$y so he chose to run away. Papa Pahlavi was more fitted to deal with these communist ayatollahs. I am 100% sure Khomeini himself would have covered his face in shame had he seen what would eventually become of IRI in few decades after him. Whatever he was, he was clever and hot tempered same time. I LOLed so hard yesterday when Mr. No-Ballz-Pezeshkian was gauranteeing everyone Iran will never go nuclear and today EU came with snapback.

btw I don't think a new Israeli attack is imminent. last time there were so many indications that it became obvious. this time none of the signals are there yet.

They will not attack if IRI agrees on Missile ranges. If no agreement is reached and IRGC continues tests, production etc we will see ALBMs flying from above Iraq again.

IRI already imposed 2000km limit on itself but I don't think it can become even more embarrassing than that

further conflict is inevitable in the medium term but probably not in the short term

any competent leader would publicly rebuke this arrogance in response. sadly we have Pezeshkian who only wants to smile at other leaders while they insult him

I really hope some people in the regime are waiting for another spark to topple the regime from within to go through a smooth transition of power instead of a harsh revolution.

There is no doubt that the regime will be toppled soon. Either through military intervention or a foreign-backed revolution/coup.

The US dollar soared to 108,000 IRT today. So, minimum wage is now $138. That's crazy.
Electricity cuts, water shortage, high inflation, corruption, nepotism, lack of security, international humiliation, they're all adding up on top of each other exponentially. It only needs a spark to explode.

One liter of gasoline is now about 2 cents in Iran. How long does the regime want to keep the price artificially low? It doesn't even cover the costs of distributing fuel to gas stations anymore.
We have now over 7 million cab drivers in Iran. If gas prices are changed, we will have new waves of riots. If they do not change it, they will go bankrupt soon. So, either way, the regime will face serious existential threats soon.

US has asked for limiting missile ranges to 500 KM, you did'nt see?

I saw that Larijani said this. but that was rejected. anyway, it doesn't change my point. there probably won't be a new attack in the short term (this year).

My idea is that IRI will become a even more dysfunctional and failure state post Khamenei than it currently is. Foreign agent, weak, but he is atleast one figure, after him we will have power factions of fake clerics and corrupt as hell politicians fighting with each other for the loot. We are already seeing glimpses of it. Sanctions are back and will get even more harsher if IRGC does not disarm itself. Even if a nationalist wave erupts up in Iran to take over, the new admin will have no money to run the system unless they give away every single weapon Iran the nation has to ensure safety of Israel. At best it will become a system like current Iraq.

They claimed the same rejection last time when Zarif came out with "Missile program is a no go zone in talks" yet suddenly IRGC commanders started parroting that Khamenei limited the missile ranges to 2000 KM. Its obvious deal was cut.

Israel acts on perception of threat, they are currently seeing no threat from Iran with semi dead Khamenei and weak reformist clowns in power. Sometimes I feel Israel has ZERO interest in Iran. They do not take verbal threats seriously except for nuclear and serious missile danger from IRGC which they can diplomatically deal with. Even their greater Israel map has no Iranian land in it. If they see IRI making any move they will act otherwise nothing needed.

that's not correct. they have been agitating against Iran for decades. Iran is Bibi's main tool to scare Israeli public into making him their sultan for decades

That's highly likely to be honest.
We've turned into a failed state unfortunately.

The country has plenty of money though. We have hydrocarbon reserves, minerals, precious metals, rare earth metals even. And we have a massive educated labor force.
We might be able to switch sides if Iranian-Americans can gain some influence in the US with our financial support. Our only hope would be the Iranian diaspora after a smooth transition of power.
Had we spent our money to create a powerful lobby in the US instead of militias, it would've served us much better.

I strongly believe that the era of the right-wing Israeli politics and the Likud Party will come to an end.
Not that Israel will change its nature, but I believe moderate Israeli politicians will replace Bibi in the next 5 years.
The collective West needs some face-saving measures to continue to support their cancerous tumor in the Middle East. That's why they're pushing for this Palestine statehood one by one.
We may see a period of moderate Israeli politics like during Yitzhak Rabin.

Whats stopping them from taking out Khamenei himself then if IRI is that big of a problem?

You are right in saying that Iran is the boogeyman Netanyahu uses for internal politics but I dont see any actual interest Israel has in Iran except for nuclear and missile threat for which they use AIPAC controlled puppets from US to pressure Iran.

In bigger picture, they will never allow Iran to be removed from back of Arab league+Turkey. Did not they help IRI against Saddam? Trita Parsi wrote this in his book Treacherous Alliances.
