Iranian Foreign & Resistance Front Strategy & Operations

If that is true, that is the lowest of the low.

To murder a military advisor of your biggest financial and military supporter is unbelieveable.

We will probably see more about such shocking executions, with roughly same personas in dark traitor-like role, not limited to Syrian state....most expensive, most mortal, most demanding part of all of the Axis clashes, and unfortunately, unreservedly...I was naive by that innocent face of Assad, taking Syria to be honestly devoted in full extent...some signs were already there for so long, but now it's easy to be smart....

What SAMs do they have. So far seem to be ineffective from Israeli, US and UK airstrikes.

Hope Yemen did shoot down the F-18 as that suggests they have MRSAM capabilities at the very least, since a manpad would be incapable unless under a very limited range of circumstances.

Analysis why Ansarullah actually shot down the US craft. Also, how the USS Eisenhower was in serious trouble but news covered up by the Pentagon:

Interesting - wonder how it was shot down. Very interesting - not sure we will know the truth anytime soon but things got a bit interesting for sure.

If you consider how sophisticated modern IFF systems are and launch firing procedures on validation of IFF codes, i cannot see how it could be friendly fire. It is not as if they need to "fear" Houthi fighter jets, and most drones by themselves are very slow compared to a miliary jet.

Ok, patriotism of Pakistan is strong on different forums, and they are ready to fight with Iran till the last Baluchistanis...
But the fact for the British santa-claus is the same anyway...Very similar to way of creating different Arabian states...

European nation-state concept is relatively new, but not sentiment of collective sense...There is a reason why Iran is only place that preserve own, reformed language, Persian language, they never became Arabs, unlike rest of the Caliphate etc...
Junta is enough for keeping Pakistan in the top shape intended to provide main tasks of the santa-claus...no need for foriegn aggression...

Iran has no choice but to fight, figuratively meaning, for strong and competitive national state...And in major league, competitors are top world's players...Probably a goddammit hard game...

You have no idea what you're talking about. Even so let's say you are right (even though you're not) about this.

Iran was attacked by their nemesis Israel and proceeded to lose all influence in the region without a response. This would not happen with "British santa-claus's" Pakistan. Iran is now asking for negotiations from a severely weakened position.

USA prefer to claims they shot down their own rather than admit their foes , especially in ME , shot down their fighter jets .

There would probably be at least a battalion(~500) of heavily armed elite soldiers permanently asigned to protect these sites. It would be suicide to try a commando raid on any of these sites.

There wasn’t even 25 soldiers guarding the Parliament building when ISIS attacked.

If you think 500 soldiers are permanently guarding a remote mountain nuclear facility, you need to stop watching Hollywood movies.

That is highly unrealistic for Iran. Lebanon and Syria are not comparable situations.

And why would Iran need to "fully mobilise" to defend strategic underground sites?

Something along those lines. BTW, don’t forget:

Lots of “stories” going around

1) Iranian general shot in war room by a Syrian general whose tribe had defected to the other side

2) now this story claiming Iraq denied Iran ability to send 20,000 foreign fighters into Syria to defend Damascus

Who knows what is truth and what is propaganda to safe face.

Either way, Iran spent blood and fortune in Syria only to have this below happen:

Israel/Turkey/Al Queda share the country.

Is set back is now leading to calls by Mossad to attack Iran.

All those that criticized Iran’s lackadaisical approach in Syria to Israel and Turkey expansion during the Syrian civil war and the hundreds of unanswered air strikes that Israel conducted on our General's, Officers, and even the blinding our Ambassador to Lebanon have been vindicated.

‘Strategic patience’ led to the critical losses of Hamas, Hezbollah, and our historical ally Syria and our foothold there.

Iran lost deterrence years ago when the U.S. figured they could kill Solemani and get away with it. Now Israel/US are circling around Yemen. Iraq has become more of a neutral party and cannot be expected to allow the Iraqi militias to have free rein to do as they please. The Shiite clergy in Iraq (specifically Ayatollah Sistani) do not see eye to eye with Iran’s Qom with respect to AoR.

The most critical sites like Fordow could well be. Maybe 500 is too much but 1-200 is still able to beat off any feasible commando raid.

It would depend on how important Iran thinks the site is.

Like I say a commando raid deep inside Iran is not feasible.
