Iranian Foreign & Resistance Front Strategy & Operations

[jauk]

Are Iranians actually ready for the start of a war between Iran and US and Israel that may come from Iran attacking Israel?

Iran seems to be in a very sensitive but critical situation now- keep doing nothing and its alliance and philosophy in the region could crumble, but strike ISrael forcefully to reset it, and that may risk a regional war. Iranian leaders say they are prepared for war, but are they really?

I was listening to one of the typical brain diarrhea YouTubes (see below). They mentioned something I'm hearing more and more: Iran's internal perception of itself as a power is below that which opponents perceive of her. Opponents are engaging Iran as a power and Iran doesn't seem to have understood or come to terms with it. BTW, I've posted this before and, although long, it's worth watching. It's not your typical disorganized brain dump:

Israel issued new guidance for settlers between Haifa and the north

Israel security meeting happening now to discuss next escalations in Lebanon

--

Before Hezbollah can breathe and prepare how to respond Israel is escalating again in massive ways. Hezbollah is simply unprepared and too slow to respond. If they are waiting for Israel to sit patiently and wait for Hezbollah to plan and prepare a response then they are delusional, that's not going to happen.

Every time Hezbollah prepares a response Israel launches a massive pre-emptive operation to disrupt it. This is becoming embarrassing for Hezbollah. By the time they figure out how to respond they will not have any missiles left. They are better off withdrawing because they are not clearly not prepared for this war, and Israel is.

Hezbollah finally retaliates

 

[Persian Gulf]

looks like the rockets are aimed at mostly empty areas and small villages to the east of Haifa, not Haifa itself.

if this is the entirety of the response, it's a very weak one. and it won't deter Israel from continuing to escalate. time will tell.

Because most of this news is propaganda and you guys lap it up.

Indeed one only has to look at the quality of the "reporting" by the western media on the gaza genocide.This would`ve made even dr goebbels blush.

Hezbollah finally retaliates

I hope this is not the retaliation but just routine attack

The retaliation to achieve desired effect should be massive or targeted at civilians and shelters to be credible

But good to see Fajr-5 in action

 

[Persian Gulf]

Looks like Ramat David airbase SE of Haifa was the target.

Initial reports suggest 8/14 rockets were intercepted.

Videos show fires in Ramat David.

Note this was a military target and Hezbollah did not aim for Haifa itself.

The "Fadi 1" missile is 220 mm in caliber and has a range of 80 km

The "Fadi 2" missile is 302 caliber and has a range of 105 km

--

Fadi 1 is likely the Iranian Fajr-3 MLRS (fired from above the Litani into Haifa in 2006).

Fadi 2 is the Syrian Khaibar-1 (M-302) MLRS.

Yep. Complaining and criticizing while things don’t fit your self absorbed and limited picture is useless at best.

Sticking out when things go south is when it counts. Sunny day supporters can go away.

And finally a government like the IRI is not going to be swayed by the shrieking of the masses.

Why do both Hezbollah and Iran only target vacant land?
Iran targets only 100% unmanned targets and has never even injured anyone.
Both Israel and the U.S. are gloating.
They can bomb densely populated areas at will, knowing that the other side will never strike back.

they target military targets like air bases because they adhere to the rules of war
