Watcharena:
Iranian air force is even fly jets across border to attack US assets
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.

If North Korea is not close to China or Russia and a bit isolated, there would have been plans of a regime change from the west aided by the countries she is surrounded with.
Many of the citizens would have clamored for a regime change.
Many of her citizens would have been spying against her and many of her generals would be compromised and heavily bribed to turn.
Nothing special about North Korea or her nukes
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.

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.

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.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Appleyard(m):
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. grin

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.

How can you confidently say it's not deliberate, when 100+ children at school where killed, do you think missile debris will kill 100+ children. every other place they target was with precision, but only this school is not deliberate. Shame on you, whoever you support is fine, but always stand on the side of human unless you are an animal
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.

deserves that supreme leader position

-Lord
Whether he is dead or alive is now irrelevant.

The clowns couldn't get the people to take up arms and overthrow the state during the mass protest, is it now that they're actively targeting and killing school girls and children playing sports that the people would suddenly wake up to revolt against the regime in the middle of a war just because the religious leader dies?

Whomever sold this war to Trump deserve a billion dollars from the Dems.

While I will never which death on anyone, killing Kharmeni will only help the IRGC to gain more political power. It won't yield the maximum effect of a revolution that the US Israel camp are desperately hoping to see. With the way majority of the people are rallying round the flag, this goes beyond religious sentiments. It's a stark display of patriotism and national allegiance. So, whether he is dead or alive, the war continues and Israel remains the number one enemy to the people of Iran.

Honestly, while I never doubted Iranian ability to inflict serious damage on the enemy, I'm really surprised at how sharp and deep their Intel on the US setups and whereabouts has been so far. Extremely precise and unbelievable. The US team are at a shock here.

Trump has made the greatest mistake of his life.

What an achievement when your own Supreme leader home is bombed , your parliament and a host of military bases in Tehran .
You don't see the irony here?
Missiles to nowherr when the bombs are landing in your backyard
You have moved from 'no missile will fly out of Iran to 'missiles to nowhere' copium?

The bases Iran is hitting are nowhere? You think war is a movie you watch.

He said it before, that any so-called limited attack on Iran would not receive any form of limited retaliation. By the time the US realizes the Pandora box it has opened, it would be too late.
