Thank Seun for the block button
Seriously, it's a life saver. I just saved my sanity with one blocking, the second time I'm using it.

At least, for three weeks, I will be free from seeing shameless spams from a notorious child killers and genocide sympathizer whose posts reeks of pure religious indoctrination and self imposed delusion.

Ali Shamkhani, senior advisor to Supreme Leader Khamenei, shows up in Tehran. Israel claimed earlier that he was killed.
Igbofam must have been the one responsible for peddling such misinformation on behalf of the IDF. cool

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.

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.

I get your point. I'm just saying Iran needs to do more in my own point of view. Calling this a victory to me makes no sense. Israel will attack again and again. 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. If they don't tackle this problem now, they will face similar scenario in a few years time.

No country is immune to attacks. Is how you respond and how you seek to prevent them that matters.

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.

But my own is Iran should not have waited till this moment. Just imagine they had been doing this operation for years and they were serious with it. 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.

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. cool

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.

LordAdam16:
Always a pleasure to read an informed statement by an enthusiast who knows what they're talking about.

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

Oracle16:
I thought you were a born-again Christian. As a follower of Christ, it's contradictory to rejoice over the death of innocent people. Did you know there are many Christians in Iran? Perhaps we should reflect on scriptures below.

It's concerning to see you rejoice over Israel's actions in Gaza, particularly harming women and children. Have you considered that not everything Israel does aligns with God's will? You might be celebrating actions that grieve God.

Let's revisit the scriptures and explore the relationship between God and Israel, especially in light of Jesus Christ's teachings. You seem to be idolizing Israel ; let's prioritize empathy, compassion, and understanding. DO YOU EVEN KNOW GOD IS LOVE AND HE LIVES IN US. You have a lot of work to do in yourself. Remove pride and think about this.

See scriptures to help you understand who the Jews are.

Galatians 3:7
Galatians 3:16
Galatians 3:26-29
Philippians 3:3
Ephesians 2:11-13
Ephesians 3:6
Hebrews 8:8-10
John 1:12:-13
Isaiah 10:22-23

The lives of the innocent Jews and Iran are all precious is God's eyes.
He is far from being a true Christian. He is just another religious fanatic who thinks he is doing God a service by unconditionally and blindly supporting IDF crimes against hapless Gazans.

By their fruits, you know them.

That's moving to phase two: Iranian closure of the Strait or a mapped out strike against US forces in the region.

I think it would be in Iran's best interest to play the waiting game with regard to responding to the US attack. Meanwhile, focus should be on attacking its primary troublemaker. That way, Trump and his war planners would lose their wit and look even more confused.

SITREP

The US struck Iran's nuclear sites.
It was inevitable.
A combination of MOPs and Tomahawk cruise missiles were used to strike 3 sites.
Fordow. Isfahan. Natanz.
There are more nuclear sites in Iran.

Trump claims all sites were completely destroyed.
Iranian sources claimed Fordow sustained minor damage.
Both are prelim statements.
Best to wait for proper reportage and damage assessments.

Iran has promptly wrecked Israel this morning.
They were going to do that regardless of the US bombing.
Do not interpret that as a response.

It appears that Iran is attempting to separate the Iran-Israel war from an Iran-US war.
Houthis have been activated.
And may fire the first salvo in an Iranian retaliation in the Iran-US war.

I anticipated a regime change operation.
That did not happen.
The US is saving that as a subsequent response.
That is a strategic mistake on their part.

Iran can now calibrate both wars on a tempo of its choosing.
Even without the express entry of Russia (😤) and China.
It is remarkable how their fortunes have changed.

-Lord
Trump have succeeded in giving the Iranians a nuclear weapon, and that's assuming if they don't have one already.

He fell for the trap. The worst thing that can ever happen to a country is to elect a leader that responds to geopolitical issues of grave consequence on the basics of emotions. Trump has failed in that regard.

It seems Trump have eventually sucker up to the warhawks, the same people that almost killed him. Pathetic. I hope it's not true though.

Meanwhile, Iron Dome seem to be on vacation as Iranian missiles rain down hell across Israel. No wander they banned coverage of the strikes. This video is scary.

That was when I was much younger. Not anymore. Going forward, I'm all for the economic prosperity of the Black race. Anything else no too concern me. Historically, the West hasn't been fair to Africans cum Black people, and this continues to date. If not tell me why the US is warning Nigeria against Chinese investments in the mines sector whereas NO AMERICAN FIRM (the only Western firm operating a mine is Canadian in Osun state - gold mining) is operating any mine or building any processing facility. Go to the Middle Belt (Nasarawa, Kogi and Niger), Chinese firms are operating mines, erecting factories and training people. One of such facilities pays minimum of 500K per month to graduates. These are investments and jobs. Yet the US is against such. Okay na, invest since you don't want China to play a role, mbanu! It's demonic!

Come September, AGOA will end and have to be renegotiated. I'm sure many African countries will lose eligibility because of one thing, one thing. Meanwhile, China has waived off import tarrifs on all goods exported from Africa. Tomorrow, they will say China is enslaving Africans. It's so annoying.

What happened to the iron dome system? No body is even talking about it anymore, it's obvious some of the Iranian missiles are outmaneuvering the most reliable Israeli air defense systems?
This tells you no AD system is infallible. This is the age of missile and drone technology perfected in all ramifications.

What can an AD like Iron Dome do against a missile like the Russian KH-101 that fires flares when close to the target to deceive enemy's interceptors and hit the target with pinpoint accuracy? Or how do you cope with an Iskander M that maneuvers at different stages of its flight path. leaves it's enemy's AD chasing shadows? You can call the Oreshnik subzero.

Same applies to Iran's missiles and Israeli Iron Dome. Netanyahoo brought this pain upon Israel. He was too full of himself, a born liar, warmonger who exploit and escalate crisis to message and save his political career.

When Obama said Netanyahoo lies a lot, people thought he was being mean. Well, Biden came and said the same thing, and now people in Trump's inner circle have said the exact thing. He is been saying Iran is months away from a nuke since two decades ago, and is still saying the same today. He is the type of ruler that takes pleasure in destruction of lives and properties.

If after this war his political career doesn't end, then I don't know what else should save Israel from his trouble-driven politics.

So long as Netanyahoo is around, the Jews are in for a long ride.

The military is advising Taco to use a tactical nuke according to Fox News . They’ve seen the precision of the Iranian missiles and realised they can’t win a conventional war. They know all their bases, embassies and ships are massive targets, now they want to use nuke. What happened to being the best military, do they know Isreal will be gone if they use nuke. Don’t they care about the promise land and gods chosen living there. No wonder taco invited the Pakistan army chief. Even if Iran doesn’t have nukes they can make a dirty bomb, put it in a couple of hypersonic missiles and the promise land is gone. Iranian Officials have said repeatedly they can make a nuke in weeks. Once taco goes nuclear what’s stopping china and Russia threatening Taiwan and Ukraine with nukes. The world will change and everyone will want a nuke. Dumb ass taco.
That recent MIRV strike Iran did has reset their brain. If the enemy is capable of a missile that carries multiple warheads, it only means one thing: that enemy has ICBM, and potentially weapons of mass destruction that can inflict equal or even greater damages in proportion to what they themselves can ditch out on it. Hence, their talk of using tactical nukes, which, in itself, is stupid because the possibility of a reprisal attacks from Iran is 80/100 percent chance of occuring considering that Iran has a large terrain and probably have several underground missiles bases spread across locations unknown to western intelligence networks like the CIA and Mossad.

Moreover, the recent massive strikes and bombardments Israel has received so far, coupled with the busting and clamping down of its sleeper cells within Iran shows that Mossad is not infallible in their assessments and overall operations with regards to Iran's missile capability. So, they would be left guessing and hitting their fists on the tables while Iran continues to pummel them from afar.

And the frustration gets bitter seeing that they are no longer able to take down majority of the recent Iranian missiles into Israel, not even with the backing of the western coalition.

Netanyahoo have succeeded in buying a market he can no longer bring to a close nor trade successfully.

In the end, they will cowardly settle for a negotiated ceasefire.

Iran is doing a very good job with whittling down on those guys. I am very surprised that they can be this effective at catching spies. Their only mistake is not doing this early enough. They should have started clamping down on them long before now. The number of Mossad spies in that country is just too much.
The Mossad infiltration level is alarming. It shows that Iran has a long way to go in counterintelligence operations. More need to be done to stem the infiltration and improve their own inner circle security and recruitment methods .

You can't know what you can't see. Moreover, your government is banning reporting to save face

Iran that can launch space vehicle into space doesn't have an ICBM? Anyone who believes that should come to me, I have a sea to sell them.

Netayanhu is powerful than Trump!
Trump is just dragging his feet and want a deal so tbe war can just end, but his Jewish Sponsors are hell bent on war and there is nothing he can do about it.
He is just so confused at the moment, praying Iran just surrender to save his ass.
He recently got a Huge Gift from the Qataris and a promise of Billions of USD in investments same as SAUDI.
These Arab Leaders are now scared of the Fallout because they know Iran will attack US bases in their Country and also their Oil Facilities.
So Trump is stuck in the Middle his Jewish Handlers are rooting for War and His Aza Men in the Gulf are advising him not to
I think that’s what making Trump drag his feet
You're spot on.

Many people did not even realize that, should the US enter the fray and Iran starts attacking those Muslim countries housing US bases in the ME, majority of the governments in those places would lose their powers. Their people will rise up against them for taking sides with what they all termed BIG SATAN (the USA) in support of SMALL SATAN (Israel), thus bringing destruction upon them. The region is very fragile politically and most of these ME governments knows this fact. Hence, they would do all that they can to avoid the war escalating to their home turf because if it does, sectarian violence driven by ideological hatred will be triggered and some governments will collapse. This is why Iran is very confident of its threat.
