US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

The New York Times on Iranian officials: Tehran will not use chemical weapons unless it is subjected to a nuclear attack

In short:

A nuclear attack would be met with an uninterrupted nuclear retaliation

North Korea has nukes

Is it smashed by the USA?

If India get nuked by China doesn't it respond with nukes?!

Let's be real. No country wants iran to have the nukes. Not even its neighbours and for very very good reasons.
Secondly, iran does not possess nukes. If it did it wouldve tested them. It only has conventional missiles/drones and we saw them being lobbed at GCC Arabs and some emptied bases in gulf.
Iran actually did not do much damage to Israel or the USN assets. Is Iran working in cahoots with the zions to destroy the arabs?

Why bring India/China into this? To feel good? Even if we entertain that scenario for a sec, a strike by China will not allow india capable to launch anything in retaliation (yeah such would be the devastation). I don't see it happening unless both go to war which right now does not look like it.

People seem to underestimate the American military power (yes ive been guilty of that too in recent past) but I won't write them off.

I'm still hoping for peace efforts but the war hawks may win anyway.

Iran doesn't need nukes , Iran has powerful nuclear doctrine.

New York Times: The US military is preparing for possible strikes on Iran

Evergreen headline to be honest

Folks, again, cut it out with the insults. I know some of you are far better than that. The others simply can't help themselves.

Report and allow the staff to address.

Another RC135U Combat Sentinel now headed east - Callsign COBRA 49 - will likely stop over in the UK for refueling before final destination EUCOM AOR Offutt AB.

Coronet EAST - Blue 81/80 just landed at RAF Mildenhall - the callsign Blue is assigned to tactical tankers forming part of a coronet flights dragging tactical aircraft behind them. This is the second coronet into the UK from CONUSA.

Earlier today Coronet WEST (CONUSA) KC135 TABOR 11 consisting of x 2 F15s and CLEAN 61 returned to the US after deployment for ME ops and extended stay in the UK.

EUCOM AOR: F16 Callsign VIPER 11 out of Aviano Air Base likely training sortie.

---
I have excluded logistic flights into CENTCOM AOR tracked in the past 13 hours from this post as those are expected to keep flowing in the coming days.

Do you think poll results will change trump's plan about Iran?

Do you think poll results will change trump's plan about Iran?

 

[Ali_Baba]

The electorate have clearly said no to more war. As to whether Trump will listen to that message or more importantly - can he resist calls/pressure from Netanyahu to restart the war is another matter. The answer to that is, of course "no" - war will restart. When Trump does restart the war, it will be a big double middle finger to the electorate for sure.

I don't think he cares to be honest... Frankly without concrete CBMs and actual workable solutions - extraction from this right now would lead to a frozen conflict, potentially the largest since the Korean War in 1953.

Biggest problem for Trump is he let this war drag on and on. He got spooked by a single F-15 getting shot down, didn’t let Centcom complete its target set, then the absolutely stupid MOU nonsense. He doesn’t want to commit to taking the HEU or overthrowing the regime. He settled for half measures, which is where we’re at today. From a pure military perspective, US forces have been superb, but that hasn’t translated to HEU in hand or the political capture of Iran.
