Iranian Foreign & Resistance Front Strategy & Operations

[EyelessInGaza]

Err, Iran would need to show the intent and capability to “decapitate” the entity.

A powerful TP3 would show this intent and capability and so restore deterrence.

That is why Hezbollah was hit so hard as it was not prepared to retaliate in kind.

Iran can act cowed by not retaliating but that means the chances of another strike go up.

You are just not digesting the posts of those of us who show a better “end game” for Iran than just doing nothing to an aggressive Zio-US attack on it.

I find your statement that Hezbollah was hit hard because it wasn’t prepared to retaliate in kind nothing short of preposterous.

Was Hezbollah doing charity that it wasn’t prepared to retaliate? Was it afraid to retaliate? What was it?

But that’s not important.

What I don’t understand is this exact definition of hitting so hard that Israel will be “decapitated” and unable to respond?

Air based destroyed? Air Force destroyed? All MLS taken out?

I’m really puzzled to understand what it is. And how it’s supposed to happen militarily.

It is obvious that you are either not underststanding how “escalation dominance” works or made up your mind that Iran will lose in a shoot out or not prepared to lose as much as the entity is prepared to.

Of course Iran may have already decided to not retaliate but the consequence of that is Zio-US will see them as cowed.

To me that means that you
refuse to, or cannot answer my question.


You and other are calling for a strike that leaves Israel “decapitated”, and ends the conflict.

Precisely how will this escalation matrix work which leaves Israel “decapitated” and the conflict ends there?

So according to Putin they should have martyred themselves jumping naked in front of HTS forces so that they can legitimately being called "elite forces"?

This is not the role of Iranian fighters to defend Syria mainland in the front but to support SAA, SAA which didn't wanted to fight so everything was canceled and rendered useless

What matters here is Iran has, again, lost the message. There should've been huge video reporting BY IRANIAN media on Iranian withdrawals with documented wheres and whens.

All we have is text indicating it's not so. Not good enough.

Dude, I think you have English comprehension problem.

It is obvious your level of English is not near native as my posts are clear and explicit of what would be proportionate for TP3. Never did I mention its aim should be a “decapitation strike”.

You are confusing TP3 with an end to the war, when its explicit purpose would be to cause damage to critical infrastructure and also demonstrate intent, thereby establishing deterrence.

If you think Iran is too weak to seek “escalation dominance” then just state that as your opinion, rather than act as you know it all.

I’ve forgotten more English than you will ever learn in a lifetime of trying, so let’s not go there.

I’m confusing nada. I’m not the one with the stated position. You are.

You simply cannot back up your fervent desire to see Iran strike Israel, with a sound explanation of how that works on the escalation ladder.

That doesn’t mean Iran doesn’t have a plan. It means you can’t explain your position with cold, hard military facts or even logic.

I invite you again to explain how Iran will launch a “decapitation” strike against Israel with the war ending there. Using hard facts. Logic.

In the meanwhile, I’ll leave this argument until you come back with facts, and don’t dance on the negligible pin of absurd semantics.

And by the way that should be “have an English comprehension problem”. Not “have English comprehension problem”. And use plural (problems) if you wish to eschew the “an”.

I will talk to you again when I think your English is up to debate these topics.

You lack of anything approaching native skills in the language is the issue here.

You’re accusing me of not understanding English in the same post prior, where you write ungrammatically?

I rest my case.

If you start by becoming personal, which you indeed started with, you’ve already lost the argument. Especially since you cannot back it up.

Carry on.

Meanwhile I’m happy to continue the conversation with those who have a clue.

Iran's rial hits a record low, battered by regional tensions and an energy crisis

The Iranian rial has fallen to its lowest level in history, losing more than 10% of value since Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election in November.

apnews.com

“ In 2015, during Iran’s nuclear deal with world powers, the rial was at 32,000 to $1. On July 30, the day that Iran’s reformist President Masoud Pezeshkian was sworn in and began his term, the rate was 584,000 to $1.”

Now 777,000.

Is this what “winning” looks like?

Why is energy giant Iran facing gas shortages?

Despite boasting massive gas reserves, Iran is facing power blackouts and industrial shutdowns. Years of mismanagement and false priorities threaten to turn the country into an energy importer.

amp.dw.com

“In recent days, forced to ration electricity, Iranian authorities have ordered schools and public offices shut across the country, as well as turned off lights illuminating major highways in the capital Tehran and other places.

President Masoud Pezeshkian urged citizens in a video message to lower the average temperature of their homes by 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) in order to help his government manage the energy crisis.

The appeal highlights the gravity of Iran's energy shortfall, exacerbated by its heavy reliance on gas-fired power plants, which accounted for as much as 86% of the nation's total electricity output in 2023.“

Or is this what winning looks like?

Focus on the collapsing economy before you notice Iran’s own ‘Syria’ or ‘Soviet Union’ moment.

Can some "dozd" like qalibaf or shamkhani fix current problems? They get "recycled" every 4 years to have some positions in the system.
