LordAdam16:
By the way, the Iran Supreme Council today announced wartime mobilization of resources for the production of ballistic missiles.

It appears like its late but I can see how planning something this complex could take 2 weeks.
They do need to make huge arrangements with China for precursors and other logistics before bringing 1500 facilities online (that's from their statement).

Iran is preparing for war. And if Satanyahu does not attack, Iran will provoke an attack when it feels it has acquired a large enough stockpile.
All they have to say is that they've significantly increased their 90% enriched Ur stockpile and it'll push Satanyahu's mumu button.

Or maybe they're exaggerating since it is now undeniable that the war will resume soon. Or it's a bit of both.

-Lord
At the bolded, I got rolling with laughter. cheesy

That man head no correct again o.

Iran is preparing, no doubt, but the question on everyone's mind is have they solved the counterintelligence problem?


This is paramount because, if Netanyahu is planning for a gambit 2.0 within such a short period, then he probably have some leverage within Iran that he is banking on. Otherwise, he would really be a mad man to start another round of attacks when he knows how devastating the outcome could be for his country.

Iron dome, David Sling, and Arrow 3 ADs platforms are all short of interceptors.

Patriot batteries missiles are so depleted that the US only have 25% left in their stockpile.


For THAAD, the situation is even more critical.


Even if production license is to be given to Israel to produce some of the missiles like for Patriot and THAAD, it will still take months to roll out significant amount, which may not even be enough, considering the sheer amount of ballistic missiles and drones Iran usually fires per salvo.


So what's Netanyahoo man banking on this time around?. The odds seems to be against him.

But if we are to go by his own crazy mindset, he either has a weapon of mass destruction plan or an unknown leverage deep in Iran that would be activated to do the dirty work.

Anything short of this will be pure insanity.

Exactly. Israel would have devastated them completely if they'd allowed themselves to fall into chaos. But the question is, how many more of these cells are available in Iran? This is where the main problem lies. High profile heads need to start rolling fast. Some members of the opposition parties made questionable statements during the war. Go after them. Make people pay for this costly negligence. Pezeshkian said Israel attempted to kill him without providing a shred of evidence. Do some digging.

Israel lied to the world about having complete air supremacy. With jets flying everywhere, Iran would have been foolish to be packing 20+ launchers in one area when their tunnels are designed to enable sneaky and high-volume strikes. Those drones and spike weapons did 80% of the job
The mullahs have a big problem. They fancy ideological loyalty above competence. So, they're usually blind to things like counterintelligence. No big heads will roll so long as their inner circle members aren't touched. Iran is the genesis of it's own problems.

But let's be honest, the way Putin has been acting lately. We don't know if he secretly wants Iran to not have Nukes.

Remember he offered to supply Iran with enriched uranium.
Geopolitics is not a game of carrot and stick. There is more to it than meet the eye.

If Putin doesn't want Iran to have a nuke, it makes no sense that he is offering them enriched uranium which is use for making nukes.

Let's just fold our hands and watch the game play out while hoping for the best outcome since we do not have the scripts.

Superb submission.

I always account for incompetence when discussing anything remotely involving the mullahs.
We all know a war is coming.
The WSJ reported within the last 48 hours that when they met, Trump informed Satanyahu that he prefers a negotiated settlement but is not opposed to another Israeli attack.

Iran knows what is coming and should be preparing for it.

But we're talking about the mullahs.
So prepare to be surprised.

I mean Haniyeh was assassinated so long ago you'd have thought there'd be no repeat, because they'd fixed that vulnerability.
But there was a repeat and even other new schemes.

The mullahs. Epitome of disappointment.

LordAdam16:
We shall see the impact of these selective busts in subsequent round(s).

As it is quite possible that Tel Aviv gave the order to cease or throttle attacks to conserve capabilities when it became obvious that the ambitious regime change operation was doomed to fail in the first round.

I am of the opinion that if you do not gut the upper echelon that potentially aided these saboteurs, all they're doing is rearranging musical chairs.
A double agent in counter intelligence could give up or trade these inactive factories while building new, sophisticated capabilities.
The busts of factories, safe houses, and low-value agents like illegals pacifies the leadership and population.
But it changes little strategically because the capability was already exposed in round one and would have had limited potency in subsequent rounds.

This way Iran will always be playing catch-up.
Israel with its capacity for pre-emptive strikes will retain the ability to deal spectacular blows in the first salvo.
Israel also has the capacity to end the round prematurely thanks to its nuclear arsenal and US backing.

Logically, Israel could systematically degrade Iran through short bursts of conflict.
Israel will sustain significant damage to be fair, but since it can ask for ceasefire whenever it wants, they can avoid costlier wars of attrition.
To war planners, this tradeoff is not be a deal breaker.

The only way to truncate this plan is to drastically improve counter-intelligence from an F to an A- before the next round.
A tall order for even the most capable of countries.

I must add, though, that Iran did think fast on its feet to counter the sabotage operations during the war.
Sure, they did eventually turn to asking saboteurs to turn themselves in for amnesty, which demonstrates that they were overwhelmed.
Nonetheless, it was excellent on Iran's part to significant degrade a robust capability acquired over years within a few days.
And while a nuclear scientist was assassinated in Tehran on the last day of the war, the volume of sabotage attacks dipped while the apprehension of agents and confiscation of munitions increased as the war progressed.

In agreement with you, I also think Iran scored a big win in foiling Israeli plans for an even deadlier pager-style attack.
They were prematurely gloating about their established plan(s) and how its execution would shock the world.
They even gave a timeline. Then, nothing.
Again, it could just mean they called off the operation when regime change operation looked like it was doomed, and they could preserved the plan for execution in subsequent rounds.
For now, however, Iran has enough time to dismantle it, if they haven't already done so completely.

-Lord
Quite on the right again.

The fact that Iran is still actively busting new sleeper cell factories after the war further highlights how deep and large Mossad has infiltrated the country. It is simply scary.

There must be some higher ups involved in all these, and that's where Iran is failing. You can't kill a snake without hitting the head. By now, they should be able to have a glimpse of who and who is involved in the sellout, at least, from the info they got from collaborators and spies caught so far. There is always a link and point of convergence on every command chain. A proper trace should point to the head of the snake in the house. Otherwise, whatever exercise they're doing now would amount to nothing, like you tightly noted.


As for Israel, I don't think they're in any position right now to start a fresh direct war with Iran. They're still licking their wounds from the shock destruction and damage Iran inflicted on them.

I just watched a video where Trump openly said that the US ambassador to Israel was running from bunker to bunkers just to avoid being hit by Iranian missiles. That tells you the level of damage and successful hits by Iranian missiles was grossly underreported and heavily censored, both in Israel and across the western media. One ambulance operator in Israel leaked a testimony of how they evacuated the bodies of about 1200 Israeli soldiers massacred around the border areas where they were assigned their barracks. He said body parts were smelling like chickens and they could not even gather all the remains of those torn to shreds by the Iranian missiles.


Trump didn't rushed in that ceasefire for nothing. Israel was being pummeled to a pulp.

The US ambassador wouldn't be running from bunker to bunker if Iranian missiles weren't hitting their intended targets. It would be suicide if Netanyahu tries another gambit in such short a time.

But, knowing the kind of mad man that he is, you can't write him off like that.

[b]Whatever, Iran appears to be preparing for the inevitable.


Intel says they have received up to 40 J-10 fighters from China. Plus, a Russian cargo ship just unloaded whatever it was carrying in Tehran yesterday and returned back to Moscow.

If the second round starts now, Israel won't have it easy either. They will not only have Iranian missiles to worry about, but also a dogfight showdown in the skies.

Besides, Iran didn't activate its proxies in the first round. The second round wouldn't be the same.

It is a war that would definitely set the region on fire.

Iran's intelligence have uncovered a second clandestine drone manufacturing facility in Tehran operated by Israel’s Mossad.

Authorities say several individuals have been detained, and a cache of high-tech drone components has been seized.
Iran is sooo lucky that these sleeper cells were busted on time during the war. Otherwise, the carnage they could have caused would have been unprecedented.

This was what Netanyahu was banking on when he was yapping about complete control of Iranian skies and regime change in Iran.

It failed, woefully. Thanks mostly to average Iranian citizens that saw some of the drones flying from their locations and trucks used as launchpads.

As soon as the busting began, Israel's acclaimed air scores against targets in the country started to drop sharply.

And as it got worst, they cried out for a ceasefire because, Iranian missiles strikes were doing so much damage back home while their chances of successful hits within Iran has vanished with the sleeper cells and collaborators being busted everywhere.

⚡🎯✅ 🚨 IRAN'S RETALIATION: 90% OF MISSILES HIT ISRAELI TARGETS IN FINAL STAGES OF CONFLICT

In the closing days of the 12-day conflict between Iran and Israel, over 90% of Tehran's missiles successfully hit their intended targets, it claims.

Iranian Parliament Speaker MohammaGhalibaf says this marks a decisive moment in the war.
This was plausible because at that point, majority of Israeli ADs were out of interceptors missiles, giving the Iranian missiles more room to impact successfully.

Do you know they don't use GPS guidance?

Intel says they newer ones rely on AI guidance and Exo-atmospheric channeling to fly towards and hit their targets with deadly precision.

Is it not shocking that after that massive security breach, no senior official has been executed or imprisoned.

In what world will Israel be able to infiltrate Iran so badly without agents at virtually all levels of the government and military.
They are only dealing with the lowest rung of the ladder. The illegals and operatives.
No purge. Nothing.

Stalin would have executed entire departments or sent them to Siberia.

Or maybe it's happening in secret.
Or maybe its a step-by-step and they'll get to the higher-placed traitors in one fell swoop.
But I cannot be hopeful when their history of counter-intelligence is poor.

We all know if China had suffered such a breach.
We will not be able to count the number of officials that would have disappeared permanently.

-Lord
Sometimes, I don't know whether I should cry or laugh at the sorry state of Iran's counterintelligence.

It isn't just a known weakness; it's a pathetic display of a nightmarish vulnerability, one that defies every jot of common sense and logic. I don't know if it was a curse from the cosmic powers that be (assuming you're a believer).


Otherwise, how would you explain Iran's reckless show of indifference in its counterintelligence responsiveness, particularly in the wake of sophisticated operations like those perpetrated by Israel, viz the facts you outlined?


From the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh to the targeted killing of its generals and scientists to the Mossad sleeper cells freely lobbing of Spike missiles against strategic targets, all from it's own soil, yet, not a single high rank has been identified or concrete actions taken till date.


Men, Iran's counterintelligence deficiency is bewildering, to say the least. I swear, the mullahs don tire me. This nonsense will never happen in Russia and China. Some high ranking people are not falling off windows in Russia for nothing. Moscow never forgive betrayal no matter whose horse is gored. Ask Prigozhin.

China would exterminate a whole town without blinking an eye if it's certain they were sellouts. Betrayer, to serious nations, is as the sin of witchcraft to medieval religious sects. Threat it with kids gloves and get your teeth knockout in a crushing blow. That's Iran for you.

To be fair though, I don't expect much from them either because majority of Iran's counterintelligence vulnerabilities are self-imposed.


For example, the damn mullahs prioritize ideological loyalty over official and individual competence within the country's intelligence and security organizations. As a result, there is a lack of skilled personnel and substandard training compared to what you have in other Axis intelligence and security setups like in China and Russia.

Like you correctly deduced, Instead of coming up with state-of-the-art counterintelligence apparatus, the cow-brain regime relies on repressive tactics, like torture and executions of low-level spies and collaborators to compensate for its deficiencies.


These weaknesses have been spotted and effectively exploited by enemies like Israel, a grandmaster of clandestine ops and intelligence gathering.

Unlike you, I'm not giving Iran the benefit of the doubt. They're not dealing with the problem secretly and cleaning their ranks discreetly. In a country where the supreme leadership fancy a religious fatwa over obtaining a nuke that would have guaranteed its national security, nothing good can come out of that place vis-a-vis counterintelligence.


Until they prove me wrong, Iran remains a big gathering of unserious people led by a confused and unserious religious extremists and delusional bureaucrats whose sense of refuge lies in the amount of missiles it can launch as reprisal attacks.

Spit.

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.

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.

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.
