If the Ayatollahs had a bomb they would use it. They are different from say North Korea Kim Jong Un who wants to live longer and neds the bomb to starve off any attempt to remove him from power
The Ayatollahs would love nothing more than be the ones who exploded a nuke on American or Israel soil,knowing that if they die in the process,Allah will reward them with 72 houris ( perpetual virgins)

Big difference,they are suicidal maniacs .A good chunk of the Islamic world would screech allahu Akbar for years to come. They will celebrate any loss of American or Israel life whether 10 times more Muslims die in the process.
You have seen many here hoping Dimona plant is hit ,and the nuclear fallout wipes Israel of which around 20 % are muslims.
Why shouldn't I as an Iranian want all these bad things to happen to the US? Can you in your abundant intellectual capacity tell me how the conflict between thembegan?

Lets face it apart from the little fall here and there from Iranian missiles what is the current consequence of this war Israel has had to face?

Let's list each Iran's and Israel's current losses side by side.


Iran's leadership is in tatters to be fair their holding not too bad but let Israel keep assassinating them in the current rate who will be left?

In this current war Hezbollah is more of a threat than Iran and Israel currently occupies 10% of Lebanon.


So yeah let this war continue at it's current rate Iran will be severely weakened.


That I believe is the reason for this war.
No, the reason for this war is to install a puppet regime, completely destroy Iranian missile program, seize Iran's enriched uranium and completely disable Iran's ability to enrich uranium.

That said, you're right. Israel is fighting alongside a superpower that is willing to sacrifice itself and its Arab allies for them. But with the way things are going in the US, they'll not have that privilege for much longer.

I blame China for this. Iran held out very well but they could have used some more overt Chinese support. This is not the time to be appeasing the gulf states. Their stance needs to be clearer and firmer.

The Hormuz Letter
@HormuzLetter
BREAKING: In a direct message to the Trump administration and the US Navy, China's Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun says Chinese ships will continue transiting the Strait of Hormuz through agreements with Iran, and warns the US not to "meddle in our affairs."

Also from Dong's statement:

1. Says Chinese ships are currently "moving in and out of the waters of the Strait of Hormuz"

2. Confirms China has existing "trade and energy agreements with Iran" that China will "respect and honor"

3. Explicitly states: "Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz and it is open for us," recognizing Iranian sovereignty over transit

LordAdam16:
religion (sectarianism) plays a role
but at the heart of it, it is all about power struggles
iran wants to be the top dog in the region
the sunni gulf monarchies want to be the top dog in the region

hence the conflict
the religious undertones is secondary

to put this in perspective
the sunni gulf monarchies were anti gadaffi and anti-saddam, both of whom are sunnis
they've essentially degraded all their rivals in the region
gadaffi, mubarak, saddam, assad
iran is the last piece to fall

furthermore, if the islamic government had fallen
and pahlavi or someone else became the leader
he'd be shiite but the gulf will treat him like they do the terrorist in syria




that is the crux of it
but when you descend to the individual level, most sunni muslims who do not support iran
do so on the basis of sectarianism




on the numbers and geographic distribution thing
if there was an economic angle to it
the shiites would enter alliances with other minorities, including northern christians and sufist sunnis

shiites in lebanon and iraq ally with christians

-Lord
Well-said. One thing I have observed here in Nigeria is that the most prominent Sunni scholars are hesitant to talk about the war. I'm not sure why that is the case but I suspect it may be because the financial aid that comes from Saudi Arabia goes directly to the senior scholars. Those that draw the courage to criticize Iran always end up getting dragged by regular Arewa muslims who are overwhelmingly pro-Iran.

That said, the vast majority of Sunnis, especially the sufis within and outside Nigeria support Iran

I was in Zaria when that incident happened. I can understand the army firing at them to clear the road after repeatedly begging them to move away. But the soldiers later followed them to their houses and massacred them in hundreds. Even children and women staying inside their homes were not spared.

Did Russia lose 30 aircrafts in 35 days?

Mention one thing the US has gained in its full scale war with Iran? Just one.
Stop wasting your time on him. Have you forgotten he's the one that said Iran wouldn't survive 3 days against USA? There's no way he can accept the obvious

Prior to yesterday announcement, Iran makes a total of 58 billion dollars annually on its crude exports. The toll system will be fetching it about 80 billion dollars annually. That is above what it even made in its crude export. If you ever think US will agree to that nonsense, you get a higher rank in the rank of clowns here.
Under no circumstance will US agree to that nonsense. They can continue collecting it for the next two weeks though.
USA didn't agree to it as at yesterday. What did they do about it?

[b] Sputnik:

'Not a one-strike operation': Why Iran's power grid would likely survive US air blitzkrieg

Trump's threat to bomb Iran "like never before" would likely fail not just because of Iran's military defenses, but due to the resilience of its power grid, according to a former Pakistani Air Force colonel

"Targeting a nation's power grid is not a one-strike operation," Sultan M. Hali told Sputnik

Key points:

🔸 Iran's electrical infrastructure is dispersed, hardened, and, in many cases, has redundant connections.

🔸 Even under optimistic assumptions, it would take hundreds of sorties over several days to take the grid offline

🔸 Iran has already demonstrated the ability to repair damage quickly

🔸 A nationwide blackout would be temporary at best, and the effort would consume enormous resources while exposing US aircraft to sustained air defense fire

🔸 Iran's doctrine emphasizes resilience and asymmetric warfare — missiles, drones, and irregular tactics that do not depend on a centralized grid

"Militarily, Iran would continue resisting; politically, the strikes could backfire by uniting the population against Washington," the expert believes [/b]

‎Lord Adam was right.. Many years ago I read a paper about the rivalry between the Shia and Sunni factions of Islam.
‎The two are sworn enemies right from 632AD with Muhammad's demise. The Shia believed the successor should've been from Muhammad lineage, his son Ali ( I may be wrong) while the Sunni believed a council of elders should have selected the caliph, which they did with Abu Bakr. Rivalry led to Battle of Karbala in 680AD where Hussein bin Ali , Muhammad grandson was killed . The Shia have the Ashura festival where they cut themselves up to remember how Hussein Ali died.
‎The differences exist until today.
‎The Arabs have a revenge code called Qisas. An eye for an eye, but theirs is permanent, if you don't seek revenge, your great great great grandchildren will take revenge one day. If the Shia don't vanquish the Sunni one of their own generation will one day. The vice versa applies too.
In Iran the black turban won by the Shia is a visual indicator of the bearer being a descedant from Muhammad lineage.
‎So the Shia Sunni divide continues todate with Ayatollahs seeking to be the leading sect while the Sunni are dominant and are 85% of the Muslim population .

‎The only sure unity where the two will unite is when the Muslims are facing an attack from the kuffar (infidel ). If the attacker is Jewish they will instantly unite against the Yehudi (Jew).

‎Iran calculation in this war is that since IDF is attacking them ,all Muslims will forget that Sunni Shia division and unite. Add the Big Satan (America) and the unity becomes almost a foregone conclusion.

‎Idiots..Times have changed. The Arab countries are diversifying their economies, relying on FDI from the infidels to prop up their economies.Ameeica is self sufficient in oil , being a net energy exporter today. Many countries also have oil ,the largest reserves in Venezuela are effectively under America control.

‎Image of Ashura festival. Shia Muslims flagellating themselves in remembrance of Hussein Ali.
‎The religious symbolism runs really deep.
‎If you understand this history, it's easy to solve the problem. At this time I believe there are elements in the US Israel cadres who know exactly what needs to be done Coddle the Sunnis.
‎Hope this educates foolishboy419
Iran attacked multiple Sunni countries on the same day Israel attacked. That fact alone does justice to this epistle of yours

LordAdam16:
here's the interesting part

a few days back, us media was mouthing off about their military plans for ground invasions
one was to establish a makeshift base where they would pave a runway and airlift excavators
in a bid to extract iranian enriched uranium

guess where they planned to establish this base?

same isfahan where they just lost four aircrafts

they had already telegraphed this move last week




there is some legitimacy to the musings by some commentators
that the events of this weekend have all been part of masked attempts at ground incursions
or at the very least, they are testing elements of or how to proceed with a ground invasion

-Lord
I read omething like that too but I dismissed it, thinking no amount of guts can make them try that suicide mission. Now it seems likely especially with the sacking of so many generals.

The only thing there is to find out now is whether US soldiers were smoked off the air or they took a hit, landed, and then destroyed the aircrafts as they left Iran.

There was no mud there and there is no logic behind landing two C-130s in the desert unless they took damage and had no other choice.

I believe the aircrafts were hit by maybe manpads and were damaged and unable to continue with the mission.

Not even a fuuuullll will believe sand made 2 aircrafts unable to fly and also made 2 helicopters unable to fly.
This is the most likely scenario.
