The Khorramshahr-4 is likely the intermediate-range ballistic missile that Iran used in the attempted attack on Diego Garcia, which analysts had previously assessed may have a range of +4,000km, though it had only been proven at between 2,000-3,000km. Such an attack would suggest that the Khorramshahr-4, which can carry a cluster and possible other unconventional warheads, could be used by Iran to strike almost the entirety of Europe, possibly as far as France and the United Kingdom.
Iran has missiles that can reach US mainland.

If after all these years of US warmongering and destructive postures against Iran the Iranian authorities hasn't develop such capability, then I have a rock to sell anyone in the doubt.

When we told the NVBs here that there'd be lot of surprises for the US in this war, they thought we were just bragging.

Targeting Diego Garcia is a message. I don't expect the NVBs here to understand what that means, but those grey haired generals in Pentagon got the message.

From my golden, logical appleyard of sound geopolitical view and deductive reasoning, I put it to you once again that, Persia already has nukes.

Time will vindicate my conclusions.

I once thought even the S-400 would have difficulties taking it down after detection. Iran did it with an inferior system based on the S-300.
That's an insult on the S-400.

It was built to detect and destroy stealth flying objects.

Turkey bought it because they saw and knew what happened to US stealth planes flying to and fro the Icirlik airbase and over Syria.

It was primarily because of the S-400 that the US introduced CAATSA. They feared the proliferation of the system that could challenge America's air dominance.

Well, here we are....Iran is taking out one of US most advanced and reliable air asset with less advanced but sophisticated ADs.

Against the S-400, it would be an overkill.

This is actually funny.

You want to use 5k soldiers to take a country of 92m people with majority in support of their motherland?

RIP in advance to these 5k.
Its a distraction.

Congress will not permit any ground invasion of Iran that includes hundreds of thousands of troops. The war is already getting unpopular, even among lawmakers that were staunch Trump supporters.

The 5k troop is part of the US special forces and amphibious setup ordered recently to reinforce the US army and navy and highten its posture in the fight against Iran.

Without air supremacy over Iran, the US cannot risk any ground operation deep inside Iran. Worst case scenario would be to confront the Iraqi militia that is making operational life difficult for the US in that part of the region. Don't forget they were the once that downed the KC135 aerial refueling tanker and damaged another over Iraqi airspace. If the US and Israel must use the Iraqi and Kuwaiti airspace and border areas unchallenged, then they must have to deal with the militia threat, and it appeared that is where things are headed.

the so called press conference was a virtual press conference

i don't think he is dead
medical emergency, not in isn'treal, taking exceptional precautions

but all these ai videos are clearly not helping their narrative

-Lord
That's the logical reason folks like us have concluded that Mileikowsky aka Bibi from Poland is dead.

People that are alive don't generally go about making fake AI videos that they're alive. They just go about their normal business.

Israel doesn't fool me.

It took them 8 good years to admit Ariel Sharon was dead.

What they're doing now with BIbi isn't different. That's the Zionist cult for you.

There was a video of Bessent leaving a conference room to receive a call, when he returned, he looked visibly shaken. I'm still trying to get my hands on that video.

Okay, let's call that speculation.

The best evidence so far he is dead is the son.

Prior to the Iranian alleged strike targeting Netanyahoo, he used to twit 30-50 times a day on Twitter. But, for the past 6 days, the boy has suddenly stopped twitting. He is probably sitting Shiva.

That medical episode narrative is plausible, but the available dots when logically summed entails the child killer is now resting in pieces on Epstein Island.

bessent is an a$$hat

the 140m barrels iran has on the water
are all spoken for
all the removal of sanctions would do is give iran the option to cancel deliveries to its trusted partners
simply to extract extra profit on the global market

that would be a strategic error
canceling deliveries to china just to get extra profit from south korea
who among the two is helping iran with sat feed and intelligence?

iran is already selling at a higher price to china because there is a shortage
sanctions relief while welcome will not lead to materially higher profits than they are already getting
not enough to justify spurning china to re-enter the global market anyway

this is different from russia

-Lord
I agree with you on Bessent.

There was no way Iran was going to cut off China from that 140 million barrels. And it's not like the US is a position to direct where or whom the oil gets to. So, Bessent is daydreaming.

What's more? Iran has already cemented China's position in this unfolding scheme. Every oil going through the strait as allowed by the IRGC is to be paid for on Chinese currency. And this policy is already in effect. The US is in no position to dictate the terms anymore. Iran holds the knife and the yam at the moment. All the US is doing now is just damage and narrative control. The reality speaks otherwise.

Iran prepared for this pretty well. And with those huge column of "humanitarian aids" trucks going to them from Russia/China via Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, I trust them to hold the line and keep Hormuz under lock and key until the empire will finally say I've had enough and quit.

in only 20 days of war

persia on the beat

-Lord
Mennn!

While we might have rightly game Iran's ability and readiness to fight back hard, I must confess Persia has really really surprised me.

It isn't just the resilience. It's the way they thought out the entire operation.

We have always said, and has been proven right that, the strait is Iran's nuclear bomb option. Closing it early was insanely tactical. It did not only throw the enemy and its bases hosts off guard, the early closure has also helped maximize the effect and damage the closure was expected to create. This single tactical move put Tehran on the driving seat, leaving their enemies scrambling for leverages that aren't there, and checkmates no one is willing to support.

Let's even forget about the initial series of wave strikes that has effectively, if not completely blinded the enemy across the Gulf.

Don't mention how their missiles are now easily falling on their preys in Israel and beyond because much of the enemy's early warning systems has been taken out of action.

Just focus only on Hormuz and the more you look at it, the more you'd come to appreciate the Persian grand strategy. cool



The moment Persia closed the strait, it made the cost of starting this war needless, and exiting it too high for the enemy. Every escalation by the enemy accelerate the cost further, and reprisal escalations by Tehran triples the cost. This has not only bewildered the US, it has forced them to start losing some of their leverages.

In their confusion to minimize the cost, Iran imposed via Hormuz, the US have unsanctioned Russian oil, and that's the first economic victory for the axis. It means Russia is no longer selling at a discount but in the current high price, thus more money for the Russian budget and for funding the SMO.

But the cost remains high, and the solution by the enemy gets even crazier. The US is now planning on unsactioning Iranian oil----the same enemy they're currently fighting. Don't laugh yet.

Currently, Iran has over 140 million barrels of oil sitting in floating storage/tankers anchored someahere along their coast. US sanctions over the years makes this difficult to sell. Removing sanctions, according to Bessent, would allow this oil to enter the global market and bring down the price. The oil will provide at least, two weeks of supply, and Bessent calls it a "leverage against the Iranians." grin

How is that a leverage when in peace time you choke Iran from selling that oil but suddenly in war time you allow it to sell that oil? Besides, Persia will be selling at or above $100 per barrel and in currency of their choice, meaning more money for Tehran and less value for the USD. Another victory for the axis. cool

Hormuz is the real KO blow. It isn't just going to determine how this war will end, it ensure that it will end on Iranian terms.

The hegemon loses again. cool

FoolishBoy419:
You have said it all. I think it is unlikely that this war will end without the sanctions being eased or totally removed.
That's the iranian end goal.

Those who put the sanctions will have to remove them as a precondition for the war to end or Persia will force their hands to remove them via the economic front with solid guarantees that such atrocious acts will not repeat themselves in the future.

The disruption in energy has now shifted to energy destruction. Iran is matching escalation with escalation. The Israeli strike on iranian gas field reveals the desperation and strategic failure behind this war.

It appears that Israel took advantage of Iran's promise to retaliate against any attack on its gas and energy industries, and would spread the attack all over the region. So, the genocidal vipers decided to attack the gas fields because an Iranian retaliation might force the Gulf countries to join the war directly, something Tel Aviv (and the US) wish to happen. But, this strategy is a very weak one. In fact, it is now clear that, the US and Israel has lost the war objectively, and they're simply acting out of d desperation.

Why?

1. The Gulf states are in no position to enter the war----US security arrangements over the years that prioritize Israel's security above the rest made sure of that by under equipping those states. They lack the weapons, the logistics, and the will to wage or attrit a war against a highly advanced peer like Iran.

2. Even if they wanted to, the chances of their people turning against them is now higher than ever. This ongoing war is fast becoming a uniting force among Shia and sunni Muslims. A regional spike in the conflict will only increase the chants of death to the Big Satan (America) and death to the small Satan (Israel).

3. Iraq gets much of its gas for electricity from Iran, and they'd be hit the hardest in this ongoing tit-for-tat energy restrictions. It is delusion to think Iraq at this time would take up arms against Iran.

Turkey also gets 15% of its gas for electricity from Iran, and there is no way they'd join up against Iran.

Qatar has instead condemn the Israeli attack on the iranian gas field. It has also condemned the iranian reprisal attacks that include its gas field, but, that is where it ends. No one is taking up arms.


3. Moreover, Iranian response attacks on Haifa and Israeli gas stations are also in the menu, and with very little to no interceptors left to stop them, the genocidal state would also receive its share of the damage and suffering as well.

Hence, the above points renders the Israeli strategy a weak, poorly thought out, and desperate attempt to project "accomplishment." The included policy of assassinations that takes out pragmatists like Larijani will only make the IRGC stronger, produce more hardliners, and by the time this war ends, everything Israel wishes Iran not to be is what they'd become.

Iran will objectively emerge the winner.

🇮🇷🇮🇱🇺🇸 Wave 62 Of Iran's True Promise 4 on day 19. Every American base in the region. Every Israeli troop concentration... All hit.

Let’s talk hardware. Wave 61 the one before this deployed Khorramshahr-4 multi-warhead missiles, Qadr, Emad and Kheibar Shekan against over 100 targets in Tel Aviv simultaneously, causing a partial blackout and described by IRGC as hitting without “any obstruction” meaning Iron Dome/Arrow 3/THAAD didn’t stop them. Wave 59 debuted the Haj Qassem for the first time. Wave 56 hit Rafael’s own missile storage depot with Khorramshahr, Emad and Qadr.

Each wave brings a different combination of lethal missile tech, missiles the Pentagon said didn't exist (in those quantities).

Channel 12 in Israel told their viewers on March 2nd that Iran was virtually out of launchers. The Khorramshahr-4 alone carries a 1,500kg warhead. The IRGC isn’t lobbing these by hand or are they?🤔

Iran spent decades hiding them underground in a country the size of Western Europe.
