Iranian Foreign & Resistance Front Strategy & Operations

The problem with this thinking is the core issue in Iranian mentality. Iran should have started war with Israel and the US over what? and more importantly with what? We are a sanctioned country with a regional power military capability that gives us an edge regionally but our adversary in this case would have been global warlords who technically own the entire resources of Western world and all the satellite basecamps surrounding us. Forget Jewish trillions, AIPAC, NATO, EU, US military machines all running to aid Israel in an all out war with Iran, we are surrounded by bankrupt and torn islamic countries being run on Anglo-Jew debts. We saw what this kind of western control can achieve over these debted countries with how US-Israel used Turkey to topple Assad. You want Iran to fight with regional slaves of west and entire west over likes of Mishal and Sinwar who wanted to fight Iran in name of sect just 10 years ago?

Just 9 months ago you had protestors in every major city in U.S. and Europe protesting against Israel. You had universities overrun by student protestors. You countries breaking ties with Israel. You had Arab leaders feeling nervous because they were complicit in genocide. You even had Russia talking bad about Israel and China. You had Americans in uproar because 7 U.S. aid workers were deliberating bombed by Israel. They bombed your damn embassy which is an act of war! What more excuse did you need?

You built the Islamic Republic on Al-Quds and its liberation. You had a chance to go in front of the UN and declare that genocide would not be allowed against Muslims. That the world used to stand against this. You would declare until Israel halts its genocide that you declare war on Israel for genocide and for war crimes against the Iranian nation. financial markets would go into haywire, oil prices would shoot up. Arab leaders would be put on the spot by their societies to also at least do supportive actions like not selling oil to countries that sell weapons to Israel. Erdogan would try to 1UP iran. You underestimate what momentum can do in highly tense situation.

And guess what would happen if you call Americans and Israel at their bluff of total war? You would get everyone trying to scramble to get a ceasefire, YOU WOULD CREATE AN INCENTIVE. A Sense of URGENCY.

The world couldn’t have afforded a war where the Middle East is in flames. Oil would be at $200 a barrel and economies would be crashing. Everyone would blame Israel for creating that scenario by committing genocide.

You would have the whole world put pressure on Europeans and Americans to finally say a two state solution is needed, enough is enough. Then during those ceasefires you would put non aggression pact with Israel on table alongside nuclear reduction for FULL normalization with West and a Palestinian state. Iran would be the damn hero in the Muslim world for rest of time. Then our country would finally also be free of this Zionist bullshit and the issue of Palestine since if the Gazans get a state then Iran can be done with it.

Instead Syrians now curse Iran, Lebanese now curse Iran, Gazans now curse Iran. Israel has distracted the Muslims with sectarianism and used its Takfiri brothers who by the end of 2018 were on life support in Syria btw.

Hamas, HZ, Syrian resistance groups all got destroyed because they were tied to Iran. Assad lost his country because he sided with Iran. Israel was willing to give him back the Golan in late 2000’s for a peace treaty. Did you know that? You know The same Golan that years later was discovered with a boat load of natural gas, that would change Syrian economy. Syria could have build itself to rival Turkey.

“Oh but Immortal you are so naive, the west would have overthrown Assad if he did it”.

Remind me what ended up happening today by siding with Iran?

When I criticized our FM, Nasrallah, and our incompetence would come to haunt us that Israel would attack Iran, and destroy the Axis groups. I was called a Zionist and said everything is amazing and Israel is weakened! LOL. By the more rational people they defended Iran and said “what can Iran do? It’s too dangerous”

Remind me what happened? Everything Iran tried to avoid thru “strategic patience” ended up happening.

Strategic patience to watch 300+ air strikes on Iranian personnel in Syria for a decade

Strategic patience to watch Hamas and Hezbollah get destroyed

Strategic patience to watch our Embassy get attacked in April 2024 by Israel, and banner of Solemani and Nasrallah to be ripped off it by Takfiri terrorists last night.

Strategic patience to watch every Senior Commander tied to the Resistance get assassinated

Strategic patience to watch Syria fall to Turkey and Israel after a 15 year investment by Iran.

They could have ended IRI but they did not, Israel could have gone after oil terminals or nuclear infrastructure but despite getting kicked in nuts by IRGCAF during TP2, they did not. US refused to take part in Israeli stunt.

Kicked in nuts? Come on, They took out Nasrallah and another IRGC commander and you fired some rockets.

Since 2020 they wiped out the entire IRGC commander architecture that was responsible for developing AoR including those that built Hezbollah itself. They killed all the HZ founding members. Bragging that Israel did not cause Cherynbol in Iran is wild.

Israel was never going to attack nuclear program, because they were winning! They were working on bringing down Syria with Turkey.

The program is a joke. 20 years playing chicken with the Jews and Anglo Saxons. The only reason program existed was because Iran thought Saddam would detonate the bomb by 1998. And then use it on Iran just like he used chemical weapons. In 2003, seeing saddam fallen, Iran was ready to give away its entire program and begged the West to allow just 100 centrifuges so scientists could study and learn. You know who negotiated that? Rouhani! As part of Khatami presidency.

Everyone signed off on it, but Bush and Neocons were too stupid to accept a face saving deal! They were high on momentum of kicking Taliban and Iraqi ass. The entire program exists today because of American hubris!




. Before trump even enters oval office, Iran is already a pseudo-nuclear armed with enough WGU to scare these people to not touch Iran FOR NOW. Make no mistake they will go for Iranian jugular in time. Our strategic retreat, the nuclear threat has bought Iran time to secure itself internally. IRGC should get rid of anti war dove Khamenei and replace him with someone younger and nationalistic minded, they should modernize Iranian military, deal with Baloch, Kurdish problem ... this arab ass saving has given us nothing. A war with global warlords would have destroyed Iran.

Nukes don’t mean shit. Look at Russia getting smacked around by NATO. Look at North Korea who outside of the few fancy toys in the military, is still stuck in 1960 and its people routinely die of famine.

No one is scared of nukes, Especially from the country that took 400 air strikes to the face, Embassy blown up, nuclear faculties blown up (3-4 times), Generals killed, nuclear scientists killed. Only to sit and say “strategic patience” and “we don’t want war”.

You know why Assad fell in less than 2 weeks? Because he had no economy. 90% of the country lived in poverty. In Northern Syria they used the Turkish Lira because Syrian currency was worthless. Arab Monarchs wouldnt help with reconstruction aid without strings attached. Europeans wouldn’t either. Americans wouldn’t either. The Cesar sanctions killed Syria.

There was no prospect of improvement. Iran couldn’t fix Syrian economy, its broke. Russia couldn’t fix Syrian economy, it doesn’t have the money either.

The solution was simple, Assad had to go.

Nukes don’t fix the Iranian economy, when I was in Iran, people dig thru dumpsters every night. Not one or two people, i mean it’s basically a profession. Every neighborhood at night the dumpster has people going thru it.

The bazaaris are pissed off, Iran has raised income taxes on everybody. Routinely cracks down “banned goods” like imported foreign brands. 10 years ago income tax was non existent in Iran, now the government is hustling the business owners and people for extra income. Toman is now 72,000! In Iraq some places won’t even accept Iranian currency!

And during all this crap past 2 weeks they managed to pass new Hijab Law! You can’t make this shit up!

Iranians aren’t North Koreans. They won’t sit around and eat grass and starve, while IRGC and Khamenai decide to play games with the West.

It’s been 21 years, either build the nuke or make the Damn deal. 2025 the decision will have to be made, one way or another.
 
The South rebels are not HTS but tribal rebels, they are most likely part of Usa FSA.
yes.

the fall of Bashar marks the start, not the end, of the next phase. there are many competing groups with competing interests now left to fight for control: HTS, SNA, SDF, remnants of SAA

Iran's interest in Syria can be just a logistical route to Hezbollah, there are ways to try to preserve that.
 
It’s always the same guy—he’s been repeating the same rhetoric for over a decade. He’s hardcore anti-Iran and obsessed with branding Shias, especially those in Iraq, as “Furs”, "Safawis" or “Farsi Majoosi” (Arabic terms referencing the Safavids and Zoroastrians). He’s even gone so far as to write multiple articles justifying and supporting the terrorist actions of groups like Al-Qaeda and IS in Syria and Iraq.

The man is extreme, and unhinged, and completely unapologetic. Thankfully, he doesn’t represent the broader Palestinian community, as many have spoken out against his views. Having said that, this is not an isolated case. His brand of sectarian hatred toward Shia Muslims is unfortunately echoed by many others in the Arab and Muslim world.

With recent developments in Syria, he seems to have gotten what he wanted. But now the question is: will his Takfiri allies in HTS step up and help his people in the face of the annexation and potential genocide in the West Bank? I personally doubt it. One thing is for certain though —Hezbollah won’t even entertain the idea of aiding them again, especially once their supply routes are inevitably cut off by HTS or the SNA.

I’m not religious myself, and I’d hoped religion wouldn’t play such a vital role in uniting against a genocidal entity like Israel, but the reality is clear. Iran’s strongest alliances lie with Shia groups like Hezbollah in Lebanon, the PMF in Iraq, and to a lesser extent, Ansarullah in Yemen. These relationships are based on mutual loyalty and shared ideology. Beyond that, the region’s other players operate on shifting alliances, driven by pragmatic, interest-based considerations rather than any deep-rooted ties.

Time to go back to the drawing board.

This man is sorely missed

indeed. although this Syrian raises an interesting point about the fate of Iran's unsecured loans to Syria. all lost?

What did I say? Hasn't been 5 minutes since Assad is gone and Israel is on the move again. Muslims got clowned. Arabs are now on their own and like I stated before, just wait and watch their fate.
I Hope all the Dajjals warriors (the deft dumb and blind) who were ejaculated over the break of Syria and topple of Asad at such a sensitive time, are happy now. Give yourself a pat on the back.

The Syria part of the Golan Heights was always on the cards for the Zionists.

That will now be annexed giving the Zionists more strategic depth and complete control over the whole of Mount Hermon.

It wasn't about SAA tbh. But about the Syrian population. I really didn't expect this, but it looks like that everyone in Syria is happy(at least for now) that Assad is gone. I must admit that what happened was not about us, you, Turkey or the US. The people of Syria were too tired from Assad it seems.
well this is just the start, not sure how long they will be happy for

You want Iran to fight with regional slaves of west and entire west over likes of Mishal and Sinwar who wanted to fight Iran in name of sect just 10 years ago? US would have bombed Iran like they bombed Iraq for months until Tehran would be rubble, please do not think for a second you can deter these people who own the planet with some IRBMS or cruise missiles. They could have ended IRI but they did not, Israel could have gone after oil terminals or nuclear infrastructure but despite getting kicked in nuts by IRGCAF during TP2, they did not. US refused to take part in Israeli stunt. It is all strategic signalling that we dont want you in this war, stay out and Iran is staying out to sustain itself. A lesson well learnt before more USD, boys and generals would have been sacrificed by Akhoonds in name of saving arabs. Before trump even enters oval office, Iran is already a pseudo-nuclear armed with enough WGU to scare these people to not touch Iran FOR NOW. Make no mistake they will go for Iranian jugular in time. Our strategic retreat, the nuclear threat has bought Iran time to secure itself internally.

if we do not have nuclear weapons by 2025 IRI is in deep deep trouble

the only way out is to sacrifice Hezbollah and Ansarallah and our nuclear program

which would be a crazy surrender and admission of failure of 20+ years of nuclear and foreign policy, but at least it ensures IRI survival

which route will IRI take?

I was criticised by a lot of posters here when I said that the perfect time to go to war with the entity was late November/early December 2023. Genocide was clear and the world was appalled at what was happening in Gaza. Iran would have even been supported by the general western populations as its cause was just.

If the Zio-US did not listen to Iran's UN ultimatum then Hezbollah, supported by waves of Iranian/Houthi/Iraqi/Syrian resistance ballistic/cruise/drone strikes, simply needed to invade the entity. It could not have really resisted both Hamas and Hezbollah/resistance at the same time and would have been forced to withdraw from Gaza.

They all talked about "bleeding" the entity through low-scale conflict when it was said that the entity/Zio-US would just remove one bit of the resistance after another.

Well look at the situation now.

Either go to war properly at the correct time or just do nothing. The 'half-way" house is the worse option possible.

In a case where the SAA didn't even fight one must conclude that there's collusion on the part of the higher echelons of power in both Syria and the other states involved. That's including Iran. Right now I don't understand why such a trade off has been made.

You know why Assad fell in less than 2 weeks? Because he had no economy. 90% of the country lived in poverty. In Northern Syria they used the Turkish Lira because Syrian currency was worthless.

Arab Monarchs wouldnt help with reconstruction aid without strings attached. Europeans wouldn’t either. Americans wouldn’t either.

The Cesar sanctions killed Syria.There was no prospect of improvement.

Iran couldn’t fix Syrian economy, its broke. Russia couldn’t fix Syrian economy, it doesn’t have the money either.

The solution was simple, Assad had to go. He was nothing after the war, just a guy that answered to Russia and Iran. A guy with no real power anymore. A guy with no demolished country. Just a guy that would get bombed by Israel every other week

Why would SAA fight for THAT Post-War Assad? For what? To live in poverty for the rest of their lives? Even cooking oil was too expensive in Syria. People lived in darkness in some areas. Iran had to send tankers of free gasoline and oil when times got really bad in the capital. And Israel knew and would attack those tankers and it got so bad that Russian warships escorted them in the Mediterranean.

In the final days as a desperate attempt they raised SAA wages by 50%. Too little and too late, the military realized what the people realized probably long time ago….country has no future under Assad, Russia, and Iran.

The world runs on the Dollar and Euro. Not the Ruble and Toman.

Assad bet on the wrong horse back in 2000’s.
 
children walking with rifles, looting of the Syrian central bank

revolutions are very unpredictable and chaotic. we know that well

Russia confirms Assad ordered a peaceful transfer of power and told SAA not to fight
 
yes.

the fall of Bashar marks the start, not the end, of the next phase. there are many competing groups with competing interests now left to fight for control: HTS, SNA, SDF, remnants of SAA

Iran's interest in Syria can be just a logistical route to Hezbollah, there are ways to try to preserve that.
Instead of trying to smuggle arms to Hezbollah, a smarter way would be to teach Hezbollah personnel to make the critical Iranian tech such as missiles, rockets and the air defence SAM+Loitering Missile hybrid weapons so that Hezbollah can mass produce it locally(at underground hidden facilities).

Also, teach Hezbollah some scientific engineering skills so they can have their own Tech R&D department to research Electronic Warfare, Laser Weapons, SAMs, MANPADs, and Next-Generation Anti-Tank Missiles and Next-Generation Long-Range Mortars with Anti-Personnel Warheads.

With an Indigenous Production going on, Hezbollah wouldn't need anymore resupply from Iran and be able to be self-sufficient in resisting Israel.
