I want China and Russia to covertly support iran to prolong this war as along as possible.
Supply Iran with necessary equipment needed, intels and contractors/retired personnel just like what they are doing in Ukraine.
They have made the Ukraine war very painful and long for russia. It has cost russia so many men, money and time.
It is now time to pay back.
The west are holding Ukraine's hand to deal with russia, blowing up russia's frigates in crimea while laughing at it.
Now, Iran is blowing up their won war ships too but i don't want them to cut a deal to stop.
Because if they stop, they will come back in the next 6 months again after they have re-strategized, restock and learn from their last mistakes to prepare better.
Then you start hear statements like ''Iran can not have nuclear weapons",
Iran must close down all ballistic missiles factory blah blah blah and start organizing another peace deal or meeting again.
Just like the way Russia thought starting and closing the Ukraine war deal will be swift and like 1 week which has turned to 3 years running,
The Iran war should be a pain in the ass for US that should keep dragging for years to drain them too.
That is exactly what the Russians and Chinese are doing now. There is no way they can afford to lose Iran to total defeat. Otherwise, BRICS would be dead.

The closure of the strait and the destruction of the ME oil supplies has now put Russia as the head of OPRC+ and virtually OPRC itself.

It would be in their interest to further support Iran and allow the Americans to restore wind in terms of economic disaster. This is now looking more like it as Iran continues to globalize the conflict, the economic fallout will definitely false America into another recession if this last more than a month.

Still too early to confirm. If that really happened, the Iranian military would be the first to announce it. I may be wrong though.

F15E confirmed shot down over western Iran. Tho debate is still on that was an F35.


I thought they said they had total control over Iran's airspace 😂😂😂😂
They don't have a partial control let alone total control over Iran skies.

All the successful hits they have recorded on Iran so far came from long range standoff platforms like ships, submarines, and airborne assets in Iraqi and Kuwaiti airspace.

And these are even getting limited by the day.

The complete destruction of the Kuwaiti airbase has forced the USAF to drawdown on ops from that angle, especially following the killing of those three jets they claimed was from friendly fire.

Their access over Iraqi airspace is gradually getting checkmated too because the Iranian Air Force via their newly conducted Su-35s are also and boldly conducting missions in Iraqi airspace. I read some reports that "private" Russian pilots are flying some of the Su-35s, I don't know how truthful that is.

This operation is getting messy for the Americans. They're recording less success deep in Iran because there are no longer sabotage groups and 5th columnists on the ground to help them maximize damage like they had during 12D. Iranian counterintelligence ops made sure of that.

The Iranian mountainous and often hazy terrain is a blessing to them as it allows them to hide so many layers of AD systems and drone swarm formations. Natural barriers has a way of diminishing the best of technologies. That is why the enemy planes that venture too deep are getting hits after hits.

Anyone who thinks that mere long range air strikes would degrade and outlive the Iranian military is not conversant with the country's geography and capabilities at all. Aside the many civilians that the murderers are targeting , and many more that will die, much of the Iranian military will emerge from this war unscathed. Chinese and Russian to ISRs is not only proving a plug in a gap, it has enhanced Persia's capabilities to inflict maximum damage beyond their usual rate.

Na bid market Trump and Bibi don buy so.

If Iran with all its weaknesses can make USA abandon all their bases and move their carriers farther and farther away from Iranian borders, what exactly do they aim to achieve with the bases they have near China and Russia? Anyone?

The only thing I can think of is nuclear weapons but then, ICBMs and Submarines are good enough. The bases seem unnecessary.
The bases are there for power projection and maintenance of American influence. Otherwise, they're big, fat targets in a time of high tech missile technology as this.

Omo.

Iran has introduced new ballistic missiles that now carry hundreds of submunitions that releases themselves from the mother missile as it approach the target. The released submunitions makes it impossible for interceptors to provide any meaningful help because the release occurs at a distance before interceptors missiles gets to the mother missile. The kill range is insane.

They are actively using this on Tel Aviv, which is now looking like Gaza. Despite the Israeli strict censorships, locals are still releasing footages and it's a horrific site to behold.

⚡A tanker was hit by a “large explosion” in the waters off Kuwait, causing an oil spill, British maritime security agency UKMTO said.
Keep up the pressure on the Gulf while curtailing the escalation.

Make sure no single oil move from the region to the EU while your ships are busy selling oil at record prices and volumes.

As the Gulf states economies suffocate under the intense embargo, they will lash out by mounting counter pressure on the US to raise the white flag. Of course, the US would not at this early stage. So, what can you do?

Well, Trump has stated the US Navy will start escorting ships through the strait of Hormuz that you have closed. Remember, 20% of global oil, LPG, and fertilizer shipment pass through this corridor. The clown has also directed the US Development Financial Corporation (DFC) to issue insurance coverage for all maritime risk transit in the region. Well, maybe he thinks his words are laws and lucozade boost that would instantly galvanized the major shipping companies that have cancel all transit via Hormuz to resume, like the crew and captains are robots controlled remotely. cheesy

Never mind the clown is completely ignorant about the geography of Hormuz. It's 100+ km length is only 40km wide as you enter the straight. The space it offers large ships is extremely narrow and is just 20km from Iran. It is a free pick and kill zone for Iranian naval forces. They can see any naval asset in the strait with their naked eyes or via Infrared systems at the thick of night. The mountainous terrain along the entire length of the border makes it easier for Iran to hide radars, missiles and drones positioned for swarm attacks. This reality is why the US navy quickly said they'd not be available for any love-vendor ship escort services. grin

Whatever, be proactive by mining the entire Strait. You have lost some boats, and be ready to lose more on this righteous course. The Arleigh Burke Destroyer you destroyed yesterday from 600 miles away has struck Odysseus fear in the overfed and pampered US navy! Coming closer to a heavily mined and narrow Strait would only make them vulnerable to your drone swarm tactics, hypersonic and anti-ship missiles, especially the ones you bought from Russia that Satan Arabia previously begged Putin not to deliver to the Houthis.

If, and I say, if, Trump finally forced the US navy to escort ships through the strait, well, it would make you look like a sniper picking its targets unseen from long range. cool

This particular one go shock them wella. None of the defense systems mounted on the destroyer didn't even smell nor see the missile coming.

the destroyer was hit with a hypersonic while it was refueling with a tanker more than 600 miles out

refueling meant it was in a static position and chinese isr sent its live coordinates to the iranians who lit it up
the chinese also sent a live damage assessment video to the iranians

they had announced the hit yesterday
but i waited for live feed confirmation before sharing the update

-Lord
Wait a minute...

A typical US destroyer carries from 300 to 350 naval personnel during combat.

Assuming the.weapon bay was lit and there was secondary explosions, it means 300 sailors are dead.

Okay, assuming it wasn't the weapons bay that was affected, all the same, a casualty in the range of 50-100 personnel might occur.

Now, should we still say that the dead count for Uncle remain 5 or 6 as they claim?

I know both sides run propaganda but the Iranian claim of having killed about 500 US personnel is looking more plausible with confirmed incidence like this. Imagine the ones the US is keeping wraps on.

Time will reveal everything.

Have you considered the possibility that Turkey could act directly if the Kurds are activated?

They will have to because, the Zionist cult child killers are already talking about Turkey and Egypt as their next port of call after Iran. So, it would be in Ankara's security interest to leverage this opportunity and dessimate the Kurds terrorist, because they could also be deployed against them when the cult comes knocking.
