bryght4u: LordAdam16 shared a link a while ago that Satanyahu wants to move in and finish off the job he began last month. Like I posited earlier, Israel will strike Iran sooner than we have time to exhaust our debate on the timeline of their next attack. We all know how bloodthirsty Zionists truly are. Iran getting much needed help from China is sweet music to our ears - those of us who support the rise of multipolarism and dethroning the monstrous Hegemon that is Uncle Sam. Iran should show haste. Time's short! Satanyahu will try again to sabotage her from the inside and if they do not limit or totally eradicate Mossad's leverage over them, then they aren't truly a people we should be here wasting precious time in cheering them on to take responsibility! Iran's greatest weakness is the enemy within.
If, like we both have said, they fail to curtail Mossad's level of infiltration, they should just kiss their security goodbye.
Imagine the 10,000 drones that were seized during the clamp down on the Mossad spies and collaborators. Just picture the damage half of those drones laden with bombs could have done within the country.
If the mullahs like, they should continue playing with their security. Na their life be that. |

WritterNg: For those that keep saying US/Israel air defense systems are better than Russian air defense systems.
What happened to the recent Ukrainian HIMARS, drone and missile strikes? Over 300 missiles/drones.
Bcuz even Ukranian channels have not reported a single hit.
Over a dozen Storm Shadow missiles and Sea USVs were launched at the Crimean Bridge alone.
What happened to them?
This is just one instance oh, it happens everyday but does not make the news.
The last Iranian strike was about 300 missiles and at least 40% got through and we all saw the destruction it caused. Israel is the most defended airspace on earth. Russia's current success with taking out Ukrainian drones is understandable. Russia is now actively using a new laser system that some analysts dubbed "mysterious" to take out drones even when they come in swarms along a predefined flight path. This has effectively rendered Ukrainian drones capabilities almost useless across the front lines. The new laser system is now cleared for mass production, and will join the Chinese LASS system that Russia also adopted to tackle the Ukraine drone menace as part of a wider array of a multi-layered defense network. |

bryght4u: What are Tehran's plans on acquiring the desperately needed AWACs to integrate with her proposed fighter jets? There will soon be a version 2.0 of the 12 days war. I really do hope the Iranians are up for it. Israelis are savages. They'd spare no one - nothing - as they leave destruction on their trail. Big Daddy Uncle Sam is out to make sure any and every power that could pose a semblance of a threat to its most beloved son's absolute dominance of that part of the world would be brought to her knees. That bloodthirsty duo would stop at nothing to see Iran bend the knee and crawl! Iran has held its own for so long, I really do hope her government possesses the wherewithal to truly lead her people and come up with creative solutions to stand up to the threat that is Israel and not keep losing precious lives to that vile creation that otherwise would not be lost. It seems, to me, that Tehran's leadership style is reactive rather than proactive. That is anything but inspiring. Iran is already in talks with China to acquire Chinese AWACS systems to enhance its situational awareness and command-and-control capabilities.
[b]This move has already raised a concern among regional players, with Israel calling on the Chinese government to reconsider selling such assets to the mullahs. With advanced Chinese military assets such as the J10 and AWACs in it's arsenal, Iran can significantly shift the balance of power in the regional. But, to me, the most important thing Iran need urgently now is a thorough inhouse cleaning. They need to sharply curtail, if not eliminate in toto, Mossad's ability to assassinate and wreck havoc at will from within the country. If this menace is left unchecked, no amount of advanced jets or AWACS will matter if the enemy retains the ability to sabotage, destroy, or kill your most valuable human and material assets from within. As for Israel, the just concluded 12-days war left a bitter taste on their lips. Hence, I don't think they're in a hurry to start another round.
Notwithstanding , Iran must be prepared for a worst case scenario. They have the stars to thank for timely busting of the Mossad sleeper cells and stone factory spread across the nation during the recent war. They may not be second time lucky again. The ball is in their court now. Fix your shortcomings or die trying. |

By the way, Putin offered Saudi Arabia the S-400. So I don't see how Russia would offer Saudi Arabia the S-400 but not Iran.
-Lord I'm sorry to say this: I'm glad Iran was not given the S-400 as it when the 12-day war with Israel occurred. With that level of Mossad/CIA infiltration, it would have been a terrible mistake to give the Iranians the S-400. Secrets of it could easily have passed down to Washington without breaking a sweat. Iran is it's own worst enemy from within. Nevertheless, they now have the opportunity to clean inhouse thoroughly. Or it will self destruct someday. |

Gerrard59: The thing that has always surprised me is how Russians are disregarded by Western Europeans. They treat Chileans (obviously white people) better than Russia. Could it be as a result of the history between Russia and the West? That's the result of decades of information induced russophobic indoctrination on the alter of propaganda. During the 2018 FIFA World Cup, many of the Europeans that traveled to Russia were amazed at how advanced and civilized the country is. Some were even angry that they were deliberately misinformed and misled by their western government and mainstream media covens about Russia in terms of culture, development, and geopolitical attitude. Today. The reverse is the case. The rest of the world, including many people across Europe are seeing Russia for what it truly represents (a champion of live and let's live). As for the west, the mask is off. A warmongering machine whose prosperity thrives on the chaos and destruction of others. It's either you follow our rules or for trying to live free. |

Lawag3: If that's badly beaten then what do we call Iran's own soundly deafeted.
Lost a lot of high ups lost their nuclear facilities lost their nuclear scientists lost up to 650 IRCG personnels. Israel had freedom of operation in Iranian skies could assassinate or attempt to assassinate any one including the supreme leader if Israel wanted to more than the amount of buildings you claim were destroyed in Israel would have been destroyed in Tehran itself.
Iran was nearly as naked as GAZA let that sink in.
Iran's strategy was shoot and hope it beats the Israeli air defence with sheer speed less than 30 percent did.
Iran quickly lap up peace like a starved dog and was allowed to let out steam.
Israel proposed peace because it's goals have been met Iran accepted it because it could have been worse for them to keep on fighting. We will close the straits of Hormuz they closed nada.
We will stop if they stop. That was pathetic.
If I were Iran and I claimed to be winning the war that I did not start will end when I'm sure me enemies cannot carry out another attack.
Let Iran try to rebuild it's nuclear Facilities let's see what a badly beaten Israel will do to Iran again. Iran was defeated? It's all right.  |

Crayfish09: I stand corrected. But there weapon costs in general are mpractical against modern adversaries. S-400 interceptors cost between $300,000-1,000,000 per round but with thaad, we're talking about $12-15 million dollars per shot. The Arrow costs $3 million. I don't care if they are is superior to the S-400, it is impractical and this war has prove that It is the MIC way of milking the US government and it's citizens dry.

FoolishBoy419: This is what I find frustrating about you guys. You are never constructive. Lord Adam acknowledged and re-acknowledged the loss of generals, loss of air defense capabilities, and every other achievements of Israel and yet that didn't deter you from stating them yet again. Get creative for once. Evolve!
There is no one outside of Iran that can factually tell you whether Iran's nuclear program has been destroyed or not. No one. Anything anybody says is guess work at best. and assuming those facilities are truly down, what do you say about their already enriched uranium and the possibility of Iran owning other secret facilities?
The IAEA has no doubt been feeding information to the CIA and Mossad, and that shouldn't surprise anyone really. And suppose they find out about another enrichment efforts from Iran, what can Israel really do about it? What can they do differently? If they took out the Ayatollah, another one would step in. If they took out more generals, others would take their place while Israel gets more rapidly deindustrialized and Iran continues its enrichment. The only reason Iran cannot deter Israel is because Israel has the world's richest countries bankrollig it. USA burned 800 million dollars on their THAAD alone just to protect Israel. They also have certainty that their sugar daddy will get directly involved once the need arises. If Iran can get China to support her in a similar fashion or defend her territory the way Westerners tried to defend Israel, no amount of 'provocation' would make Israel throw a stone at Iran, because they know they would get crushed. Imagine Chinese Jets patrolling the skies of Iraq while Iran sends barrage after barrage of missiles at Israel. That's exactly the kind of scenario the Wes was aiming for in this war.
If Israel could flatten Tehran, a city much bigger than Gaza and 1600 kilometers away, they could have done so assuming the entirety of Israel wouldn't get flattened by the time they are done. The world has lost its illusions on Israel's barbaric nature.
As for their self acclaimed low death toll, you can thank the nature of Iranian attacks for that. It is almost impossible for Iran to eliminate human targets in Israel when there are satellites to inform you as soon as a ballistic missile is airborne. That is a genuine shortcoming that needs to be addressed.
I also suggest that you're careful with the words you throw around. If only fools hold back in wars, then Russia, USA, and even Israel are full of fools. Iran could have destroyed Israel's water supply and plunged them into crises, but they held back. Likewise, Israel could have taken down all of Iran's oil facilities or simply used a nuke. Russia could have used strategic nukes on Ukraine, and USA could have saved itself in Vietnam with a single thermonuclear warhead. So no, only fools throw all their cards at a go and I can't believe an adult thinks otherwise. You cannot make a religious extremist see reasons or agree with factual reality. Once their mind is made up, it is made up. That's why I don't waste my time replying the few ones here. Save your sanity te stress. |

LordAdam16: Iran's gains
1. Iran preserved its nuclear program. 2. Iran foiled USreal regime change operation and gained more legitimacy after 90m Iranians rallied around the flag. Out went anti hijab protests. In came "strike Tel Aviv" protests. 3. Iran found a legitimate reason to stop all cooperation with the IAEA. The IAEA forwarded names of Iranian nuclear scientists to Mossad to be assassinated. For the foreseeable future, Iran can now build, transfer, and expand its nuclear program without IAEA interference. 4. Iran demonstrated that it could singlehandedly destroy Israel by conventional means. No nukes necessary. 5. Iran demonstrated that all US bases in every Gulf country can be destroyed in a confrontation.
Israel's losses
1. Israel's air of invincibility has been irreparably shattered. 2. Israel threw the first sucker punch, retained the element of surprise, had active assistance from the US + NATO + Gulf Vassals with land-, air-, and sea-based air defense systems. Regardless, it incurred more damage in 12 days than it sustained in 2 years of war prior to the 12 day war. Satanyahu came on air and admitted that he could not continue a war of attrition. Iran did this alone. 3. 17,000 Israelis were displaced. Citizens were held hostage. Nationals escaped in yachts. Tens of thousands of buildings were destroyed. Port, Refinery, Military Facilities, Government installations, Research facilities, Office complexes were all targeted and destroyed. Iran reserved the capacity to destroy 80% of Israel's water supply but held back for obvious reasons. All of Palestine was Iran's canvas. 4. Iran was open to making compromises on enrichment. Iran has walked back those moves. It now pursues a steely strict red line on enrichment, its missile program, and its relations with regional paramilitary allies. 5. Iran's nuclear program, formerly visible to the West-controlled regulatory organization has gone dark. Enrichment and indigenous weaponization will continue unabated. 6. Israel's decades-in-the-making spy network in Iran has suffered the worst setback in Mo$$ad history. This will continue. Iran will deport Israeli intelligence ready supply of illegal aliens, uncover cells and execute the agents, destroy Israeli cache of drones and sabotage equipment, and more. 7. The Iranian liberal Western-aligned bloc that had accumulated decades worth of political capital and infiltrated all the way up to the President has lost its momentum. As in Russia, the fifth column have been exposed as collaborators of the enemies of Persia. All of the effort built over decades with the assistance of Western intelligence and Diasporan monarchists/liberals/westernophiles. Poof. Gone in smoke in 12 days.
The Iran of June 1, 2025 and the Iran of June 27, 2025 are two very different entities. The former treated Israel an irritant that it had to be careful with because it wanted closer relations with the West through sanctions relief. The latter will treat Israel as an existential threat to its 5,000 year civilization. Sanctions be damned.
It will expand its missile arsenal with one goal in mind. Congratulations, y'all played yourselves.

After the exchange last year, people bragged that Iran has put Israel in its place. Unfortunately, look at where we are today. Until Israel can no more attack Iran, to me this is no victory from both sides... It is still a victory for Iran for the reasons previously mentioned.
Mossad will keep strolling across Iran if the mullahs fails to leverage this golden opportunity to do a thorough inhouse cleaning. That place is like Nigeria I'm terms of misappropriation and management of funds. Corruption thrives among the top brass.

WritterNg: The Israeli Defense Minister boasted that an event that will make the pager explosions look like child's play will happen the following Friday.
That was last week by the way. Mossad cells got busted, foiling all their plans.
First to do no dey pain. These people have taught Iran and Russia how to carry out proper terrorism.
They'll suffer for years to come. Terrorists worldwide are watching and learning. By the time pagers, iPads and cell phones start exploding in US bound flights, they'll realize what they've done.
Russia killed 2 Ukrainian Army Lt. Colonels using a package explosion just last week. It was reported on Ukranian telegram channels.
Western media hid it from the public because they encouraged it. Exactly.
When Mossad demonstrated that pager ingenuity against Hezbollah, they inadvertently opened the eyes of rival intelligence and counter intelligence agencies. Same goes for the Ukrainian drone operation against Russia strategic nuclear bombers, which opened the eyes of counter intelligence services in other countries, especially those like Iran in the crosshair of western ops.
They learned quickly from the Hezbollah and Russian experiences. That explain the quick rate at which the busting was carried out. There are now rumours that Russian intelligence knew of the planned Mossad massive attack from within Iran and tipped the Iranians as well.
Whatever, these methods might become bad precedents set by the west as terrorists operatives can adopt them to target western capitals and assets, like the flights you mentioned. Well, when you roll a stone, the stone would roll back on you. Na God talk am. |

Now it's time for the country to be serious with this Mossad infiltration They knew they have spies buried within the system, but they never would have envisaged how deep the infiltration level was prior to this revelations now.
Notwithstanding , I said this war was a gift from Netanyahoo to the mullahs. Now they not only have the opportunity to do a 360 degree inhouse cleaning, but also knows the methodology of Mossad's operandi and how to counter them effectively. If you understand the years and resources it cost to establish and maintain such level of operation, you would feel sorry for the Israeli government.
As we type, fists are slamming in frustration on table tops across different building blocks and offices in Tel Aviv now. Honestly, I would be surprised if Netanyahoo political career survive this senseless and costly gambit.
But I would even be more surprised if Iran doesn't leverage this victory to purge their ranks, up their game and come up with better counter measures to overcome their shortcomings. |

Michaeltreasure: I love this thread alot, but the level of narrative twisting to change facts here is extreme. Israel truly got a bleeding nose in this conflict but to say that Iran, who lost top military and civilian leaders, with a Mossad infested defense system, won the war should be the comedy pinnacle of the century. Someone here was saying that Israel hid much of her casualties, meanwhile the Internet was shut down in Iran all through. I can't imagine celebrating victory after a fight that killed the members of my team, no member of my opponent team is dead, and a ceasefire that was planned and brokered by my opponents team. That's the joke of the decade. Few pro Iranians here have seen through the thing. Celebrating mediocrity is nonsensical. Iran needs to up their game. Their intelligence is whack. They're always in the defensive instead of in the offensive, they always wait for Israel to attack before standing up to act. They are always caught off guard. Haniyeh was killed in Tehran of all places and people here are celebrating imaginary Iranian victory. Will Putin celebrate if Ukraine takes out his top scientists and generals right in the heart of Moscow? Sounds stupid right? Emotional jamboree while dancing on an avalanche of admissibility does not equate nor define true reality.
Wars are defined, fought, and gauged on the basics of objectives, not merely on the amount of hits scored. Israel's primary objectives that prompted the criminal attack on Iran:
1. Destroy Iran's nuclear program.
2. Regime change in Iran (basically through the chaos and carnage that the large Mossad sleeper cells network and collaborators were supposed to have caused). Results:
1. Iran's nuclear program remained intact. 2. The current Iranian leadership still thrives and rules on.
Miscellaneous outcome: 3. Israel was badly bloodied. 4. For the first time since 1948, thousands of Jews fled the holy Land to become refugees in another man's land. 4. Even the prime minister Netanyahoo fled. 5. Iranians did not flee and became refugees anywhere else.
It was a bad Gambit by toadface Netanyahoo and a bad loss for the entire nation.
You don't have to be sentimental to see that this was a clear victory for Iran.

Raynald: This was Israel objective Iran must never have a nuclear weapon Here is what they achieved 1.Iran nuclear facilities were bombed and buried, moving them years backward Even if the moved some enriched uranium They will have to set up new facilities where they are constantly under Israel and USA surveillance 2.Iran top military leaderships were eliminated 3.Iran launchers and missile production facilities were crippled.Taking years to replenish 4.There was total control of iranian airspace That was want Israel achieved Now list Iranian achievements in this 12 days war You only listed what you wanted to hear and see. Your list is far from reality.
1. Iran nuclear program and facilities were not buried.
Even many western analysts and some MSM covens have now agreed that Trump's claim to have obliterated three of the nuclear sites is pure balderdash. The strike only 'scratched' the surface and no real damage was done.Moreover, the IRGC saw it coming, since the Trumpster in his usual comic rhetorics advertised the strikes many days ahead, and only normal that they moved sensitive stuffs from thence to safer locations.
Mossad sleeper cells have been busted, and still being busted all over Iran. That means, less infiltration and less level of espionage ops for Mossad. Like it or not, with this monumental failure, Netanyahoo has destroyed years of yardwork and huge resources expended over time to setup the Israeli spy network deep in Iran. By the time Israel will recover from this and reestablish such level of sophistication again, Iran would have gotten his N-bomb.
Thanks to mad man Netanyahoo. 
2. Assassinating some top brass officers might be a nice achievement to you, after all, it was a surprise attack, but not a critical one in this regard because without them, Iran still kicked the IDF's butt both within and thousands of miles far away from its own turf. It shows that the men you killed can be replaced but an ideological will to survive cannot be killed. BTW. One of the said assassinated top military brass just popped up in Tehran.
3. The IDF was never at anytime in full control of the Iranian airspace. Stop deceiving yourself.
You don't even know how big Iran is in terms of size.
Majority of the IDF attacks carried out against Iran were launched from Iraqi airspace and from on the ground inside Iran by Mossad sleeper cells and collaborators. The few times the IDF sent in planes and expensive drones into Iran's airspace, they ended up losing many drones and some jets getting shot down by Iranian air defenses. The moment the Mossad sleeper cells and collaborators starts getting busted by IRGC counter intelligence together with local people doing vigilantee works, Israel's air campaign success claim diminished dramatically.
If you noticed carefully, you would have seen that during the closing periods of the fire exchange and before the US strike, Israel resorted to sending in long range Hermes drones that Iran keeps shooting down like flies. It shows that their initial success was coming majorly from sleeper cells within the country who were striking with drones and Spike missiles against targets. They never ruled the Iranian skies.
4. If truly Israel overwhelmingly or completely destroyed Iranian underground missile complexes and stockpiles, they would never have cowardly begged for peace. On the contrary, it was Iran that was pummelling them savagely in so much that they had to ban journalists and their citizens from filming the large-scale damages being meted to them by Iran.Conclusion. Israel didn't gain anything because they failed woefully to achieve their primary objective --destroy Iran's nuke program. And even when they tacitly moved to a new objective -- regime change--they also failed in that regard. So they gained nothing.

If the Vietnam war occurred today, apparently the likes of seunny4lif and others will be telling us the US won because they killed Vietnamese in high numbers and Vietnam never struck the US. They would also tell us the Taliban lost the war in Afghanistan because they never killed a US general in 20 years of war.
This is a very clear victory for Iran. Anyone who wants to inhale unhealthy doses of copium is free to do so.
-Lord Thanks. Indeed, it was a clear victory for Iran. Netanyahu's gambit backfired miserably on him. Iran did not only bloodied Israel, it also reinforce a deterrence that, whenever attacked, it has the capability to attack back. This would make the Israeli strong heads to think twice when next they audaciously decide to attack Iran. |

LordAdam16: That's a lazy, false take. Israel had the element of surprise and most of the high-profile casualties Iran suffered were from that surprise attack. Israel started this war to end Iran's nuclear program by military means. If they had succeeded, they would have progressed to a regime change operation. Iran beat them back, in spite of Israel's early advantage. It retains its nuclear program, ended any prospect of regime change, and retains all its red lines stipulated during negotiations.
You should take a breather.
-Lord I was about saying the samr thing. I don't understand why some folks here are mad with Iran playing to the purported ceasefire declared by Trump. Iran was never going to fight on forever, that's the sad reality. One thing is clear now. This war is a gift from Israel to Iran. Why? It's gives the Iranians the perfect opportunity to understand the depth of Mossad infiltration, the enemy's infiltration tactics, weapon type, and how they perform assassination ops from the inside. With this knowledge, the IRGC should be able to do a thorough, if not perfect in-house cleaning, and up their counter terrorist and counterintelligence ops that would take Mossad and CIA many years of hard work to overcome. Moreover, Iran now have the perfect excuse to get a nuclear bomb, which is a sure banker now. Lastly, this war put Netanyahoo political future in jeopardy given that Iran was able to deal massive blows to Israel who despite the initial success with the surprise attack failed to achieve its primary objective of destroying Iran's nuke program. Hence, it was a disastrous failure and defeat for Israel. Wars are about objectives. If you fail to achieve your primary objectives, you have lost the war. Contrary to what people thinks, Iran will come out the stronger and better of the two while Netanyahoo comes out with a shamed and defeated look. His expectations that the US would go all in to finish what he started backfired against him spectacularly. Result...Iran won this round convincingly. |

LordAdam16: Satanyahu don dribble himself. He lost the war on Day 3.
Na SURRENDER remain.
-Lord He is already tacitly begging for an end to the trouble he started. Ediot. If the rate of Iranian missiles to the country continue as it is now, Netanyahoo would not have much people left to rule over as they're all fleeing the country in droves now.
He lost big time. |

The Iranian retaliatory strike against the US base in Doha is intentionally measured to save face and not escalate. They used their slowest, big missiles knowing that the air defenses would shoot them down. Trump would be two times foolish to respond in similar proportion. |
