You are pained that your propaganda does no longer fly.
The discussion is about evidence, not emotions. If you think the evidence is wrong, point out where instead of labeling it propaganda.

Yep, the UN finally admits what the world has known for over 2 years now. Just imagine how f-cked up things have been at the UN for information to take this long to reach the organization with a UNRWA, the UN's own agency, on the ground in the Gaza Strip since even before the crisis. 😒
Funny how the narrative keeps changing. One day Hamas has been "completely destroyed." The next day they're apparently powerful enough to stop all humanitarian aid.

The UN has raised concerns about interference by Hamas, but it has also spent months warning that Israeli restrictions on crossings and aid deliveries are a primary obstacle. Why mention only half the story?

You are not getting it?

US is constantly pounding them right?

And they have been retaliating by targeting US bases ? But since they are scared to fire a single one to US base in Israel 😂 😂 😂

Israel won't just target them unlike US, Israel will eliminate their leader
grin No, you're the one not getting it. Iran has already retaliated by striking multiple U.S. bases in the region recently. You can debate the effectiveness, but you can't pretend those attacks never happened.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran Launches Attack On Kuwait And Bahrain, Tehran Says by educatedfool: 11:22am On Jul 08
IsraeliAIRFORCE:
US planes are packed in Israel, and instead of bombing Israel to destroy the USA Air Force's most valuable assets in the Middle East. Yet Kuwait and Bahrain are being bombed.

It's like Iran fear Nethanyahu more than Trump.
That doesn't really hold up. The recent U.S. strikes on Iran were launched from U.S. military assets and facilities across the Gulf region, so those bases are directly involved in the operations. If another wave of attacks were launched from Israel, there's every reason to expect Iran would respond against Israel as we've already seen in previous exchanges. History suggests Iran's retaliation generally targets the locations or states it considers directly involved in the attacks, rather than following a single fixed pattern.

Helinuse:
Oh yes,
I think you don't understand English too much.
Mut "obliterated" means obliterated anytime it is being called upon in the future.

Negotiations on the Nuclear issue are based on powder that lies in the ruins of their obliterated nuclear facilities, and also on their innate pursuit to obtain it. The US knows that it is more costly to come around to carry out the same process in the future than it is to just give them a reason not to even want to build it.

And yes, if Iran starts building again today, which they surely will, they will need another strike.
And that strike will be said to "obliterate" it.
Simple English, bro.
grin grin grin You really typed all that just to admit the exact point I made.

Your argument is literally:

"It was obliterated... but they'll rebuild it... then we'll have to obliterate it again."

Read that slowly. grin

If something has to be "obliterated again," then the first "obliteration" clearly didn't eliminate the capability permanently. You don't keep killing a dead horse every few years and call it permanently dead. grin

This is why negotiations are still happening. If everything was truly "obliterated" in the way you keep pretending, why negotiate at all? Why threaten future strikes? Why monitor enrichment? huh

Because everyone involved understands something you don't: bombing facilities can delay a nuclear program, but it doesn't erase scientific knowledge, industrial capacity, or political intent.

You keep confusing destroying buildings with eliminating a capability. They're not the same thing.

And please stop lecturing about "simple English" while using "obliterated" to describe something you admit may need to be destroyed again. grin grin

"....They are judged by whether strategic objectives are achieved."

grin grin grin

Please list just one strategic objective (strategic or non-strategic) of Iran in this war, apart from survival?

The term "strategic objectives" in war is a term of recent coinage, born by the US need to align with its internal political pressure where a loud minority of immigrants and their online grifters made the majority believe that there is no need for a war. And so, the government had to say, "This is not a war, but an operation with strategic objectives of... nuclear program,...missile production facilities,...drone production facilities,...ability to project strength."

You just want to use that term to judge America by it, but you unfortunately failed to realize that if you apply it to Iran, it falls flat.

All wars are judged by one measure: "surrender or total obliteration of the enemy."
Iraq, Afghanistan, Japan, Vietnam, Nazi Germany, Libya, etc.
That is how wars are judged.

Even though we very much agree that such a system is changing, with the increase in religious influence in warfare, in which people measure victory by loss. grin grin grin Such that a Hamas, Hezbollah, IRGC, etc can be losing men and land, but as far as they still poke out their head to inflict anyloss, no matter how small it is, they refer to themselves as winners. They even refer to their loss as martyrdom. In that case, victory will now soon switch to total obliteration. If not, they will regroup again, even after 30 years, return, and claim that they have always been victorious. I bet you, if the Shah of Iran is mistakenly made to take control of Iran for 1 day, you will understand the meaning of total obliteration of the IRGC. It will be deadly. It will be bad. Because he knows what Jeehard is. He knows that it can stay low for 50 years and still rear its head. The US doesn't know.

grin grin grin
grin grin grin Your entire argument collapses because you invented your own definition of war.

You asked for one Iranian strategic objective? Easy:

To deter future attacks by imposing costs on Israel and the US. That's a textbook strategic objective. States don't have to conquer or obliterate an enemy to achieve strategic goals.

You also claim, "All wars are judged by surrender or total obliteration." grin Really?

Did the US totally obliterate Vietnam?
Did it totally obliterate Afghanistan?
Did it totally obliterate Iraq's insurgency?
Did it totally obliterate the Taliban? They came back and took over the country. grin
Did Israel totally obliterate Hezbollah after 2006?

Modern wars are judged by whether political and military objectives are achieved, not by some movie-style "total annihilation" fantasy you just made up. grin

The funniest part is you mocked "strategic objectives," yet your own examples prove the opposite. Nations don't spend billions on wars just to count bodies; they fight to achieve political outcomes.

Ok,
Evidence:
1. Khamenei, the supreme leader of your world's greatest superpower, was cleared out 30 seconds into the war.
2. Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the "little Isrel," who did the clearing, is still alive, hale, hearty, and moving up and down in day light.
3. American president Trump that supported the strike, is still alive, hale and hearty.
4. Iran industrial complex, is destroyed
5. Iran nuclear sites, have been caved in
6. 90 Iranian generals, were cleared like christmas meat in the first 30 minutes of the war
7. Israel has lost more soldiers to Hezbollah than they have lost (actually zero) to Iran.

Facts.

grin grin grin
Oh, I almost forgot...

Last year we were told Iran's nuclear program was "completely and totally obliterated."

This year we're told it had to be "obliterated" again grin

And somehow, after being "obliterated" twice, the United States is still sitting across the table negotiating with Iran over... its nuclear program.

That's fascinating.

If it was truly "obliterated," what exactly are they negotiating about? Ghost centrifuges? Imaginary uranium? Invisible enrichment? Or maybe "obliterated" doesn't mean what you think it means.

It's funny how the story changes depending on the audience. One day it's "mission accomplished," the next day it's "we need another strike," and then it's "let's negotiate a deal."

grin grin grin
You keep saying "Facts," but your list contains opinions, disputed claims, and exaggerations.

Let's deal with actual facts.

First, military success and legality are two different things. Killing senior officials through surprise strikes does not automatically prove strategic or moral superiority. It simply means one side successfully carried out an operation.

Second, there is no credible evidence for your claim that "90 Iranian generals were cleared in the first 30 minutes." Repeating an unverified number doesn't turn it into a fact.

Third, despite all the rhetoric, Iran has generally responded by targeting military installations, intelligence sites, and strategic infrastructure rather than publicly adopting a policy of assassinating the elected leaders of other countries in their homes. Whether one agrees with Iran's actions or not, there is a distinction between attacking military objectives and deliberately targeting political leaders.

Fourth, if Israel's position were as comfortable as you portray, it would not require continuous U.S. military, diplomatic, intelligence, and defensive support. Israel has formidable military capabilities, but U.S. backing remains a central pillar of its security.

Finally, wars are not judged by social media victory laps or casualty lists. They are judged by whether strategic objectives are achieved. If either side still possesses the capability and willingness to continue fighting, declaring total victory is premature.

So don't call it "facts" when much of your post consists of disputed claims and selective omissions. Facts require evidence, not confidence.

Just recently, Israel attacked Beirut, and Iran sent Kin missiles, because they knew that the Americans would rein in on Israel and save them from the repercussions, since it was the peak of their negotiations.

Now, you are claiming that Israel didn't attack Iran.
grin grin grin

You neva see chomchin.
Iran know that there is a rift between the US and Israel and now, Israel will always look for a gap to prove that the US don't control them.
Such proof may be fatal.
It simply means that in such a situation, the "no-keel" list is canceled.

And the IRGC doesn't want that situation.
grin grin grin
You should stop confusing your imagination with geopolitics.

Your entire argument depends on assumptions you can't prove. "Iran knows this." "Israel wants that." "The US thinks this." None of that is evidence.

When your previous claim collapsed, you simply invented a new explanation instead of admitting you were wrong.

That's not analysis. That's moving the goalposts.

Rocky247:
It is obvious Iran fears Israel more it fears America. It dares not send missile to Israel because it knows what it will get in return
"So the country that didn't launch the opening strike is somehow the one acting out of fear? That's quite a creative interpretation. History doesn't change because it makes your argument sound better. The first strike matters. Everything after that is a response, whether you like that response or not."

What is stopping them from doing so?
grin grin grin


Or are they tired?
Or haven't the Israelis given them enough reason to do so?
Why aren't they sending their missiles to Israel?
Why are they sending it to an America that is concerned about its economy, given that it has built a resilient one?
Why not send even one to Israel that doesn't target sites, but GENERALS?
grin grin grin grin
Why would Iran send rockets to Israel now when there hasn't been a recent Israeli attack on Iranian territory? From Iran's perspective, its missile strikes have generally been presented as retaliation rather than first strikes.

Whether people agree with Iran's actions or not, it's inaccurate to suggest they're refusing to attack because they're "tired" or "afraid." Right now, there isn't an ongoing exchange of direct attacks that they're responding to. If Israel launches another major strike, history suggests Iran would retaliate again.

Nah, not Ghana or South Africa. She went to France for her master's. We had already promised each other we'd marry after she graduated. She even got a job there and wanted me to sort out my papers so we'd get married and move to France together. Unfortunately, I ended up with a lifetime ban from entering France because of my anti-Zionism posts on social media. So the original plan became impossible. She still came back and married me. Not every story ends the way people assume.

If trump's deal is true then he has successfully destroyed the IRGC using Ghalibaf and Aragchi.

Wonder while they were removed from Israeli hit list?

Because of so many hardliners in Iran, the new government cannot announce to the people that they surrendered.

Trump is not stupid and Someone is definitely going on that is not announced. Watch how Iranians will start selling peace and changing tactic.

I do not expect everyone here to understand. Every Single speech giving general in Iran is gone. The remaining hardliners are normal public Iranians who cannot be pursued militarily. Eventually the foot soldiers hiding in mountains and receiving $25 as salary would come out to see that country is better.

Iran surrendered in secret and agreed to keep talking tough to calm their public.

Now tell me have you heard UN critises Hezbollah anytime anywhere....most of them can not even mention the name Hezbollah while on UN floor ......Brother is Hezbollah a country or a Islamic militia holding Lebanon hostage and nobody among you is shouting them down like they do to Israel
You keep changing the subject because defending Netanyahu's "most moral army" slogan is harder than pointing fingers elsewhere. Hezbollah has been condemned and sanctioned by numerous countries, and nobody is pretending they're saints. The real question is why you think Hezbollah being bad somehow proves the IDF is uniquely moral. "But Hezbollah!" isn't an argument; it's an admission that you can't defend the claim on its own merits. If the IDF truly deserves the title of "the most moral army," then defend that claim directly instead of constantly reaching for someone else's sins.

You're proving my point. Criticizing Israel doesn't mean giving Islamic countries a free pass. People criticize Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria, Afghanistan, and many others all the time. The issue isn't whether the perpetrators are Muslim, Christian, or Jewish. The issue is whether the actions themselves are right or wrong. Morality isn't a team sport.
