⚡Iranian missiles have struck multiple points in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

This is existential for iran and it makes sense they're matching escalation with escalation.

By the time this war is over, the actors involved directly or indirectly will no longer remain the same.

Eyes go clear.

🇮🇱🇮🇷 BREAKING🚨:

Unverified Reports say Naftali Bennett, expected to become Isareli Prime Minister, was killed last night.


https:mus/2m6209290
A lot of people don't yet recognize the depth Iran prepared for and the risk and length it is willing to go on this war.

Persia sees this round as an existential threat and is matching every escalation with escalation.

The IRGC has made it a matter of state policy to equally assassinate top Israeli government personnel, and so far, a couple of them have been killed by direct missiles strikes and solo assassinations deep inside Israel. The Jewish media per the government is covering up the mess, but the truth always finds its way up from the fog.

Given the small size of Israel, if this war doesn't stop sooner than expected, there will be nothing left in Tel Aviv, and no place in Israel would be safe for any of their top officials.

⚡The International Atomic Energy Agency does not know the status of the new Iranian enrichment facility in Isfahan that is in an underground nuclear complex, agency chief Rafael Grossi said on Wednesday.

"It is underground, but we haven't visited it yet," said Grossi, who is in Washington for a conference and to hold talks with Trump administration officials.
If after this war and crimes against Iran Tehran permits the IAEA any entry to any of their nuclear site, then they have no business functioning as an independent state. They should be balkanized and fed to the vultures in Israel and Washington.

LordAdam16:
getting a nuke goes without saying
they should get a nuke whether there are assassinations or not

but the focus is on what to do about the political assassinations
in the middle of the war
it is clear that the assassinations will intensify

i'm low key hoping pezeshkian bites the dust
but there are dozens of officials now in the crosshairs

and it is now a waiting game to see how they deal with this challenge




on the defense side

after the 12d war, they doubled down on a mosaic defense doctrine
iran has 31 military provinces
each is independent of each other
and independent of the central command
each has its own ammunitions (missiles/drones), production facilities, intelligence and other auxillaries

each does have its own clerical and political attaches as well




but there has been no mention of something similar on the political side

the closest that's known is that pezeshkian has delegated more authority to the provincial governments

but in tehran proper and the federal government
it is unclear how they plan to deal with an intense assassination campaign against political leaders
they've planned for it
but they're keeping that card close to their chests

and it'd be interesting to see how it goes

-Lord
The assassinations is getting intense for two obvious reasons:

1. The USrael is getting so frustrated because their initial set goals are no longer attainable.

2. Netanyahoo is no more.

LordAdam16:
well, i was pissed that khameini i stayed in his residence and held important meetings there

but after this by larijani
i actually have respect for deciding to go out on your own terms

and this is not just about the top brass

for the past three weeks, usrael has been bombing and targeting basij and irgc personnel in tehran
destroying their stations and even checkpoints
what they do is withdraw their dead and injured
then send fresh personnel to man the checkpoints across tehran
this is happening in multiple cities but it is intense in tehran

you have young men leaving their homes everyday assured that the odds of it being their last is over 90%
and they come out anyway
day after day until they become a statistic

that courage permeates every rung of persian society

if the basij militiaman can put his life on the line
their head, the general reza can operate directly on the streets where he was martyred
then it is hard to take fault with khamenei i and larijani

this is the persian way




and i am not making that up

the archaemenids had an elite military unit called the immortals
literally called the immortals

it was a permanent unit of 10,000
not 10,010 not 9989
always 10,000

anyone in the unit died, got sick, or was otherwise unable to continue military service
he was replaced immediately
so that the number never fell or exceeded 10,000

this was before shia islam
so it's not necessarily about fanaticism
it is factory fitted
persians are born that way

that's why you see them chanting day after day while bombs drop around them
anyone hit is withdrawn and the march continues

-Lord
Honestly, I have come to the same conclusion on Iran.

What is happening there is beyond fanaticism---it's their "warriors way of life."

The 'Immortals" you mentioned for example view death as a course of duty, honor and loyalty on behalf of the land. This too operates as a form of psychological warfare against opponents.

⚡German Foreign Minister Wadephul:

Safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz is not possible.

If the American Armed Forces are not able to secure this militarily, then European forces will most likely not be able to do so either.

We will need agreements with the Gulf states — and to some extent also with Iran — that will make passage possible again.

The thread topic says, Russian Ukraine war: World News....

Meaning, any news on world affairs and events can be discuss here.

While I'm not against posting on the Iran thread you created, try to fix some of the problems some of us have pointed out here.

One, the ban limit should be increased.

Then fix your bot, its very annoying. How can I be block for saying "stupid behavior" even when I'm not referring to anyone in particular but merely referencing the behavior of a state?

U.S. Interception Rates vs Iran
(Gulf Bases, Navy Ships, Allies):

🚀 Ballistic Missiles:
🔵 Day 1–3 → 89–93%
🔵 Days 4–7 → 91–94%
🔵 Days 8–12 → 94–96%
🔵 Day 16+ → 96–98%

🛸 Drone Swarms:
🟢 Day 1–3 → 90–94%
🟢 Days 4–7 → 93–96%
🟢 Days 8–12 → 95–97%
🟢 Day 16+ → 97–99%

Overall: 94–96% missiles / 95–98% drones average (THAAD, Patriot, SM-6, fighters, EW). Launches down 83–90% from peak → defense systems optimized, fewer successful impacts.- worldinsights
No wonder this place is very dry. The propaganda is loud and deafening.

All US bases in the region has been hit and broken up.

Iranian missiles are falling freely across Israel as such that the government now arrests citizens that post videos of impacts

Much of Tel Aviv now looks like Gaza in real time.

Why?

Because the interception rate is so poor.

In some instances, 5-10 interceptors fails to stop one Iranian incoming missile.

But, this propagandist is yapping about 98% interception rate.

Continue.

Trump: We’re talking to them. But I don’t think they’re ready — but they’re getting pretty close.

I don’t know that I want to make a deal because, you know what, first of all, nobody even knows who you’re dealing with because most of their leadership has been killed, as you know, right?

So I don’t even know that we want to make a deal. They want to make a deal badly — yes.

⚡Trump is considering seizing Kharg Island, which handles about 90% of Iran’s crude exports, if the Strait of Hormuz blockade continues.

U.S. officials say capturing the island could deliver “an economic knockout of the regime.”

The plan would require U.S. boots on the ground and a military occupation of the island.

Officials warn it carries major risks, including Iranian retaliation against Gulf oil facilities and pipelines, especially in Saudi Arabia.

One official said “there are big risks, there are big rewards.”
LordAdam16, you were right. They're set to go all in on Kharg island.

That Greenland misadventure is the devil's sucker punch the Trump admin gave itself on the road to this ME debacle.

While the majority of them publicly feigns solidarity with him on Iran, they're laughing him to scorn behind closed doors.

Pedo"s tweets, threats and counter treats are becoming such a sorry sight to behold.

At a time when nations are looking for ways to get their much needed energy supplies across the strait, Japan SK
inclusive, Trump will have to convince demons to come to his aid on this one.

Honestly, I sometimes feel sorry for him.

The best thing he can do right now is to declare victory and move out before this thing boomerang even harder on him.
