US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

Coronet live over the UK now. This is part of the second surge of aircraft that moved to EUCOM AOR ahead of being positioned for deployment in CENTCOM AOR

F35s also departed Italy now over Tel Aviv supported by USAF refullers Callsign GOLD:

Again these aircraft were part of the surge announced by US president last week:

Very heavy USAF activity between US bases in Europe and the Middle East.

Israel bro, Israel for refullers for the fighters with some refullers still based in Romania. Interestingly the F35s are still flying out of Italy.

First time seen today F35s flying out of UK.

U.S. has greater ability to project power than Israel, sure, but greater ability to project power 10,000km away in a much larger country vs Israel projecting power on its short borders with Lebanon? I don’t think that’s a sound assessment. Certainly not in terms of ability to protect those troops. Nothing from the experience of the U.S. occupation of Iraq or Afghanistan supports your contention that they can protect their troops better than Israel can protect its own troops in small areas of South Lebanon.

Iran’s defence strategy was always asymmetric. Nothing new there. It doesn’t mean the conventional military is degraded, that is the conventional military approach.

And generals don’t make decisions based on public opinion, but the politicians who give the general their orders definitely do.

For much of the last 20 years, many people—including myself—were under the impression that Iran was a formidable military power and that a country like the United States would be reluctant to attack it directly.

However, in recent years Iran has experienced military strikes on its territory by Pakistan, Israel, and the United States. In my view, that has challenged the long-held perception that Iranian territory was effectively immune from direct military action.

If that trend were to continue, some argue it could encourage broader international efforts to increase military and economic pressure on the IRGC, although the future course of events remains uncertain.

From my perspective, if the discussion shifts from preventing a foreign military presence to merely resisting one after it has already been established, then the strategic debate has fundamentally changed. To me, that would suggest that deterrence had already failed, regardless of what follows.

Lakenheath brother all F15's fly out of Lakenheath and likely this information is incomplete - the US have stationed their aircraft around Romania, Bulgaria, Israel and Jordan. We know that there are F22's stationed in Israel from previous tracks.

So, this comment by the twitter handle is misleading to say all these aircraft are all parked up in Jordan.

It was reported a few weeks back that the US had withdrawn F-22s from Israel after 5 months of deployment. 🤔

US Retroactively Justifying War on Iran Based on Growing US Deaths

■ Just like the US invasion and occupation of Iraq (which continues to this day), the US lied to start a war with Iran and is now using the growing number of dead US service members as justification for continuing the war;

■ The growing number of dead US service members in Iraq became in and of itself a pretext to continue the war/ occupation - and the retroactive justification was used by all US presidential administrations once in office no matter what they promised during campaigns;

■ The US has no intention of ending its war with Iran nor does it seek to stop regional destruction - it all serves the wider objective of burning the multipolar world down in place of being able to match or contain it;

F22s are very much operating in the region.

He is definitely concerned about the mid-terms, especially by Democrats investigating and impeaching him. ​

Trump says midterms won’t impact his Iran war plan​

Republicans are increasingly anxious over the potential ramifications of the war amid rising gas prices and the death of three soldiers since fighting resumed.

I doubt he's losing much sleep over it. Some Iranians and their Pakistani supporters, however, seem far more concerned about US gas prices and the next midterm elections than they do about Iran's own economic troubles, where inflation has reportedly reached 88%.

Strange how Iran's own economic problems don't seem to attract the same level of concern.

One could almost conclude that American lives matter more in these discussions than Iranian lives. 🤔

In my opinion, nearly five decades of IRGC propaganda and ideological messaging has conditioned much of the public discourse to focus on external enemies while drawing attention away from Iran's own domestic challenges. It seems to have totally numbed Iranian society like a cow before slaughter.
