WriteerNg:Iseeee! |
FoolishBoy419:That must be the Fattah hypersonic missile. Nothing in their arsenals can stop it. The sheer speed is mind boggling. They not only help to destroy high valued target, they also help to waste enemy interceptors like mad. |
Alamkiir:That's a flawed reasoning. Iran was always prepared for an attack. They knew it would come and they were actively preparing for it. Just as the US and Israel used the negotiations as a cover to move in all the assets they needed and try to bribe their way into the inner setup of the IRGC, which they failed to do, Iranian intelligence also used that time frame to gather indepth Intel about the US assets in the region and beyond. It was that indepth Intel---theirs plus the ones they got and still getting from Russia and China---is the reason they were able to respond very quickly to the first wave of attack from the aggressor. As we speak, there are Chinese recon assets currently sailing in the ME. They are actively supporting Iran with Intel. |
Blakjewelry:This was the exact folly in the US/Israeli plan for a regime change. They think by killing the Ayatollah, the Iranian people will take to the streets and demand regime change. It's the reverse, his death and the the war has turned to a uniting force among the people. The US and Israel has already lost this war because it's clear now that ,just like during and after 12D, they will not achieve any of their stated objectives. Wars are about objectives, not just how many people you were able to kill. |
WriteerNg:Clown. It is iranians that would bring about your regime change? Keep going doe it, your eyes go clear. |
Kastonkastroll:Na better big market he don buy for the Republicans come November. If you take a closer look, some of his staunch supporters like Cruz are already throwing him under the bus. Once the Reps loses both houses, impeachment proceedings will begin against him. This man na classic ediot. |
dermmy:Another target added to Iranian missle menu. Na go hear am. |
iykofias:It has always been their usual way, deny and later admit. The damages Iranian missiles and drones has done to the US, the Gulf states, and to Israel is already worst than what most people can imagine. Iran is threaten this as a total war, and no amount of denial from the aggressors will change nor deter the relentless strikes. I'm especially liking how Iran is matching escalation with escalation. From today henceforth, Netanyahoo is fair game for assassination. This war will shock a lot of people. Already, the pressure is mounting on the US from the Gulf states to call it off. They never expected this level of madness from Iran. If this is to continue for another week, many places across the Gulf and in Israel will start looking like Gaza. With majority of their interceptors out exhausted, Iranian layered echelon strike tactics is having more effect by the day, they said they have more than 20, 000 drones earmarked for this purpose. This is the worst decision in Trump's life. It's becoming obvious that the Mossad got some shite on him to have coerced him into taking this foolish gambit even when his own military planners told him the operation is too risky. |
WriterrNg:This is so true. It's the decentralized leadership structure and spread out capabilities that makes Iran, plus it's natural terrain, a fortress. American focus on the capital is yielding little results compared to the widespread Iranian massive successful strikes across the Gulf. |
Dvdpity:The Houthis front is quiet for a reason. Saudi Arabia is the endgame. If any of the Gulf states directly enters the war against Iran, Pakistan may enter the fray as well. Na real keg of gunpowder the ME sidon put right now. |
WriteerNg:See what I told you guys? ![]() This is classic Trump's way of chickening out. Him eyes don dey clear small small. |
dermmy:Don't be surprised that some EU countries are actively supplying Iran with Intel. That Greenland stunt by Trump actually vex them like mad. |
FoolishBoy419:LordAdam16, I talk am. The clowns don dey blink like blink blink. ![]() |
nedu666:Your head they there. |
FoolishBoy419:Ty he blinking don start. Dems don dey do oressuo while salivating wryly for the mayhem that is coming on November. |
WriterrNg:They've started hitting the oil facilities. Gulf pressure go soon mount on the Americans. Tomorrow go bloody on the stock market and shipping prices. |
WriterrNg:I'm now very sure that the sudden depth of Iranian intelligence all across the Gulf also has to do with Russian and Chinese supplied Intel. The way the drones and missiles are following the evacuated troops and officials to their hideouts in hotels and public buildings speaks volumes. |
LordAdam16:Persia is on steroids right now. The bet is still on the table. The US will blink first. |
Watcharena:Iranian MIG-29s has been doing crossborder hits on targets in Iraq from the very first day. Also, they've been repurposed to fly SEAD missions using sophisticated jamming and EW pods purchased from Russia and China. That explains why the number of hits from US and Israeli planes are limited compared to this time during 12D. Also, there are rumors of Chinese J-10 jets airborne by Iranian Air Force. I don't know how true that is. |
emmaodet:It means you don't understand the ideology that runs North Korea as a state. Na straight up nuking you go see from the moment any bomb from US land on their soil. NK and it's rocket man na the honeybadger in geopolitics. They neither worship God nor the devil. Even China acts cautiously around them because they're the most unpredictable state in the world. Besides, no sane nation would want to attack NK because it would immediately means you don buy China and Russia market---both of which have a defense pact with NK. One of Iran's current mistake is not having a defense pact with either China or Russia. Had there be one, believe me, Trump for no near that place at all. E get why. |
Alamkiir:Iran was prepared for all scenarios. They have five potential replacement for every key positions that could be made void from assassinations. The bet is still on the table, the US will blink first. Iran is ready for whatever. |
LordAdam16:Putin and law na 5 and 6. ![]() But, what do you expect Russia to do? Declare war on the US because of Kharmeni? You cannot help a man who simply refused to be helped. Whatever, his death will do Iran more good than bad. Na him chose to die like fowl. The next Ayatollah will no what to do, how to behave, and when to act. |
LordAdam16:The escalation is gradually shaping up. Na big market Trump don buy so. |
They will definitely try to go for it. Just that, at the moment, the scale and relentless strikes of Iranian missiles and drones is shocking them. They can't afford to miscalculate for the time being. Especially when you consider the new depth in Iranian intelligence ops----how they manage to locate the hotels and civilian buildings spread across the Gulf where US evacuated its officers and base troops to. One must give the IRGC and Iranian intelligence their flowers on this one. dermmy: |
LordAdam16:Between Pez and Kharmeni, I don't know who is worst. That guy is worst than a sellout. |
dermmy:The man's delusion is beyond pathetic. He has dug his own political grave so long the war continues. he go see shege from Monday Wednesday when the stock market will start calling in sick from all indices. |
O Lawag3:Common... You don't expect the building to read "Central Intelligence Agency" on the front, do you? |
Alamkiir:Religion is not a disease. It is how you practice it that matters. |
Well.. With Kharmeni dead, Trump now has the perfect excuse to say, we have achieved a lot, we have devastated them. Therefore, we are taking a break here. They better not try this next time. Let's call it off and give them a chance to do what is necessary. ![]() This Trump will do. The reasons are obvious. First, with Iran confirming the Ayatollah's death, no one has taken to the streets in celebrations across Iran, which is directly opposite to the script the US/Israel camp has planned. So that gambit is almost a wasted effort aside the minimal psychological victory it gives the attacking side. It will not change anything on the IRGC resolve and capabilities ---they prepared for such possible outcomes. Secondly, Iran closing the strait so early is another shocker for them, meaning by Monday or so, the US naval fleet will have to try and force open the Strait, otherwise, by Wednesday, oil prices will develop vector legs and climb above the ceiling, which would effectively devastate the EU as the first economic casualty and hit transnational shipping and domestic prices beyond the purchasing tolerance level of ordinary Americans---expect massive anti war street protest across different cities in the West. The Dems are already preparing the ground for that. And here is the worst part. If they attempt to force open the Strait, it would directly bring them close to Iranian sea capabilities---na there the casualties Trump be dey talk about go start to count. And the funny part is that, even if they manage to force it open, no sane shipping would dare sail that path again. Major shipp companies are already rerouting following the closure announcement. So, the damage has been done irrespective of what comes next. Thirdly, the relentless bombing of the Gulf states by Iran will reach a stage where the host states will start mounting pressure on the US to throw in the towel. I can bet my left balls that the Americans did not envisage this high intensity and relentless show from Iran in the early stages. This is bad news for the US war planners for two main reasons. One, it shows Iran has such huge amount of stockpiles that far exceed the declared or estimated levels on paper. Meaning, they can afford to go on and on for a long time while maintaining same level of intensity and targets across the region. Two, targets on this occasion are many, and spread across the Gulf. This means, the US will expending more interceptors in a bid to stop the incoming Iranian missiles and drones, which is practically unsustainable even for four days because the Iranians fires in echelons, not in singular units. The worst part is that these attacks, unlike in the 12D are now layered---involving short range, long range missiles and drones together---which is why you're seeing a lot of successful hits even from a small unit of launches. This spread out tactics and layered strike strategy has effectively rendered useless or at least diminish the SEAD role the accumulated F-15s and such other assets were intended for. And the best of Iranian missiles are yet to come, especially with the ship-killing subsonic and hypersonic types. Against these backdrops, while US and Israeli strikes will still be causing serious damages deep inside Iran, one can safely say they will be the ones to blink first because giving the size of the country, Iranian capabilities are too spread out, buried deep down and behind natural barriers that makes any air bombing campaign difficult to attain maximum goals. So, the reality that Trump would throw in the ball in the next three days is very likely, unless something drastically different happens that would erased more than half of the iranian capabilities by Tuesday. Otherwise, this is going to be a bad war for them. |
Alamkiir:Learn to avoid a troll. He can confidently say Iran is targeting civilian infrastructure in the Gulf, but the US and Israel aren't targeting civilian structures in Iran. When you see these kind of posts, especially with someone calling the killing of hundreds of students in a school a mistake, you know you're dealing with a troll. |
