Iranian Foreign & Resistance Front Strategy & Operations

I can only imagine how busy the Iranian factories are right now

for the last few years they have been supplying Syria and Iraq

then came Ukraine war and they supplied Russia

and now they are again in overdrive to supply Hezbollah and Houthis
 
Rhetoric from Israel now suggests escalation with Hezbollah. This should be taken seriously. F-16 jets are doing mock bombing raids over Beirut on a daily basis.
If and when Israeli F-16s start their bombing campaign in Lebanon, Hezbollah will have to activate its missile forces to bomb the crap out of air bases Israel uses to bomb Lebanon- this will not be an option or allowable event for Hezbollah IF Israeli F-16s start destroying Lebanon. I believe Hezbollah can and will make Israeli airbases unusable in such scenario. All of ISrael is "reachable" to resistance forces (maybe not every entity that's part of the resistance)

Sure, imagination is free to use.

yes, but supplying what? up to a certain time it was rockets, missiles, guns, ammunition, but after that time, Iran has been supplying "make your own weapons" type of tools and machinery, not the end user military products such as missiles, rockets, etc. Hezbollah, Houthis clearly shows this, and Hamas does too on a simpler and smaller scale. Iran spent the past several years teaching its "proxies" how to produce weapons and fight ON THEIR OWN, because it is probably cheaper, easier, more effective and reliable in case of war.

Boom - Shahed 136 is a war legend and Iranian genius product forever.
and now they are again in overdrive to supply Hezbollah and Houthis
Probably and maybe, but i suspect it is not on the same scale as pre-2010 or so- Houthis especially have shown us via their parades (and serious naval embargo on them by NATO/US) that they are manufacturing and using alot of their military equipment now, i guess those IRGC and Hezbollah advisors that were in Yemen during the first several years of the war against Saudis setup the Houthis for a deadly and effective military campaign against whoever whenever it is required.
 
we must prepare for Israeli escalation with Hezbollah

Israel is going to get humiliated on two fronts if they really think they can erase HZ with their methods, their image will tarnish even more as the only thing they are good at is carpet bombing everything and getting humiliated on the ground

I hope the 358 and F-110 are also ready to kill their civilians

This is very possible. When i think about possibilities, risks and consequences of such an Israeli attack on Lebanon, we need to realize that if Hezbollah comes under actual risk or proximity to being decimated by Israel, Iran WILL step into the war directly (this is one real way Iran could get involved in this war).

Please dont say this, it is not right or ethical or even helpful. They should hit the IDF military all day everyday though, that is very allowable (even more justifiable in the occupied territories).

Hello,

Off topic but do you know anyone by the username catsoo from an old Iranian defense forum?

Just asking , he was a cool guy. Maybe he might be a participant here. I am Palestinian not Iranian but enjoyed the input of world affairs from you guys.

They can't deal with Hamas at all even while besieging Gaza

The claims of Hamas and Iran about them having the capacity to sustain a long war is getting more true day by day

I don't know if HZ itself has access to its ballistic missile arsenal or not, but Israel would face severe retaliations in abwar with HZ compared to Hamas, their Apaches will not be as free as in Gaza and there are chances we could see Israeli fighters downed for the first time since 2018

Israel "wars" consists of carpet bombing civilians and call it a victory, they can't put tanks on trailer and send armored vehicle without any infantry support, retreats and embarass themselves by falsely claiming securing of zones inside Gaza while Hamas launches rockets from that very same "safe zone"

There are no chance Iran would have to get involved, HZ has 100x better weapons to retaliate than Hamas and air defenses

While i advocate against any war, if Israel starts carpet bombing Lebanon, Israeli citizens should also be under the danger of fire, their lives aren't worth more than Lebanese lives

I totally agree, their lives are not more important than anyone else’s. They will carpet bomb Lebanon like Gaza and call them “precision strikes” on Hezbollah targets. They are experts on carpet bombing hospitals, schools, residential, un shelters, etc and blaming them on Hamas saying they have tunnels there launching attacks.

Hey bro, it kind of rings a bell but not much more than that. Maybe @Hack-Hook knows, he has been around longer than me
 
the name somehow feel familiar but i can't put my finger on where i heard it
He was an Iraq-Iran war veteran who
participated at an Iranian military forum. He had some great stories of his time in the military. The site eventually shut down, thought maybe some of the people who participated might have migrated to another site.

Some people who live very peaceful lives, are complaining or wondering why Hezbollah doesn't just do full scale warfare. No one wants to acknowledge that they are cautious because they see what Israel is doing and they don't want that in Beirut. They are looking out for the interests of their people which is the right thing to do, that being said, people in Lebanon have to be mentally prepared for escalation, and stock up on food supplies just in case.

I agree, it is a very complicated situation indeed. I admit, at times I wished Hezbollah did more but I know it’s asking a lot. Hezbollah is a defensive group and cannot realistically protect its people from being carpet bombed. Can they do a lot of damage to Israel? Yes, but it will come at a great cost. I’m more angry at fellow Arabs (Arab “leaders”) because I truly believe they can stop the genocide on Gaza. They just choose not to put the pressure. They don’t like Hamas alliance with Iran and Hezbollah. Maybe it’s their way of trying to punish them?
