Israel doesn't mind seeing Iran burn to ashes. I feel Iran was a lot better when the Palahvi dynasty was in power. This Khameni people don't just know when to throw in the towel.

Yes, more are trying to flee its so bad that the authorities are trying to prevent their citizens from leaving even though their PM has left the country. I hate it when warmongers use their citizens as human shield and collateral damage.

He just wants to hold on to what's left of his prestige. If his citizens perceive him as been weak then his regime is gone. You don't want to show mercy but you fire less missiles each passing day Explain that. The problem with this man is ego.

Israel is never going to allow any of it's close neighbors possess nuclear weapons, back in the 1980s they destroyed Iraq's nuclear program, a program that was financed by France. During the Iraq Iran war, Iraq were being funded by the western powers, including China and Soviet Union, Israel was doing the opposite, helping Iran. They took the opportunity to negotiate for Jews who were living in Iran to return to Israel.

1972,During the Munich summer Olympics terrorist attack, 9 Israeli athletes were kidnapped, 2 were killed by the Palestinian Militant Organization, Israel asked permission from West Germany to rescue their citizens, Germany were claiming experts and refused the offer. During the rescue attempt headed by West Germany, all 9 hostages were killed.
Israel hunted down each one of the kidnappers and killed them.

Isreal vowed never to allow such a thing happen again, so in 1976 When the PLO hijacked a plane full of Israeli citizens, flew it to Uganda. Idi Amin refused handing over the hijackers nor the passengers. Israel planned a secret mission, flew soldiers into Uganda, killed all the hijackers and left with all hostages. Idi Ami killed one of the hostages in retaliation, a old woman that was taken to the hospital before the rescue mission flew in. Israel still negotiated to get her body.

Fun fact, the person that led the mission was Yonathan Netanyahu, the elder brother to Benjamin Netanyahu the current prime Minister. He died in the operation.

Hate Israel all you want, but those guys are going to shed blood before they allow one Jew die in captive any where in the world.
In Uganda, one hostage was in the hospital when Israel came for the rescue. She fell sick while she was held captive and was transferred to the hospital and was there while the rescuing was taking place.

The mad support for Iran on online spaces says it all.

Everyone is tired and fed-up of Israel. Even Americans saying they don’t war.

when likes of Tucker and Marjorie start saying they don’t want to be involved in war, then shiit is really really real. Americans are tired of dying for Israel.
Iran has been subued and it leadership eliminated. The only thing left is unconditional surrender or further destruction till takeover is achieved.

"Never underestimate a people whose myths are soaked in fire, whose poets chant of vengeance, and whose children are raised on stories of empire."

There is a dangerous illusion being peddled in media and military circles: that Iran-home of the Persians-is some soft target, an easy strike for Israel's military machine. This belief is not only historically illiterate, it's geopolitically reckless.

Iran is not just a country. It is a civilization. A 2,500-year-old empire that has fought, fractured, and reassembled through the jaws of history's bloodiest crucibles.


The Islamic Republic may present as a theocracy-but it functions like a fortress-mentality empire. Its generals study not just Islam, but Tacticus, Khomeini, and Genghis Khan alike. They believe in asymmetry, spiritual warfare, martyrdom, and the long game.

Not a Desert Militia - A Shadow Arsenal

Iran is not Iraq in 2003. It is not Syria in 2012. It is a regional power with:
• Ballistic missiles (2,000+ km range)
• Precision drone warfare (witness Yemen, Gaza, Syria)
• Cyber capabilities rivaling mid-tier global powers
• Undercover paramilitary units across five countries (Hezbollah, PMF, Houthis, etc.)

This is a chessboard, not checkers.


Israel's Iron, Persia's Fire

Yes, Israel is a formidable opponent-nuclear-armed, tech-savvy, intelligence-rich. But here's what Tel Aviv knows (even if Twitter doesn't):

Every Israeli airstrike risks awakening not just Tehran, but an entire Shiite axis primed for existential warfare.

Remember, Iran's concept of war is not victory by territory, but legacy by defiance. They do not fear death-they often script it into their strategic doctrine.

You don't defeat a people who name their missiles after martyrs, or who believe resistance is sacred theology.



Gallantry Beyond Missiles

Persian gallantry isn't just about weapons-it's woven into their art, their language, their resolve. Even today, in the face of sanctions, cyberattacks, and assassinations of nuclear scientists, they stand unbroken.
• In Karbala, they remember Husayn's refusal to kneel.
• In Khaybar, they chant of Ali's return.
• In Gaza, they invest-not just in arms, but in ideology.

This isn't a country trying to win battles. It's a civilization trying to outlast empires.

Sometimes you don't know what weapon a close society have, can you people allow peace to reign , so I can go on Pilgrimage to Israel and Saudi Arabia.. To start a War is easy to end it is impossible.. If North Korea has not used it's weapon on it's neighbor that it detest while would Iran want to nuke Israel . I hope the U.S don't get involved, rather open diplomatic channels cos they are going to use swarm technology to attack your carriers ...you don't want to lose a $100million ship with a $1000 device.

What Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson told Al Jazeera
Here are the key takeaways from our interview with Esmaeil Baghaei:

Any direct engagement by a third country in the war between Israel and Iran would be an invitation to a full-scale conflict that “would engulf all the region and even will go beyond that”.
Iran is “for the time being” focused on targeting Israeli territory only and it trusts its neighbours would not allow the US to use their territory for attacks against it.
When asked if Iran is willing to engage in dialogue with the US, he said, “Diplomacy never ends,” but added that Tehran no longer trusts Washington.
Iran is in contact with all countries, including Russia, because they are permanent members of the Security Council, and “we expect everyone that has a leeway, that has a mandate under the UN Security Council to act to help having a resolution in condemnation of this attack.

ShobayoEmma:
The deaths that have happened; they had to happen, the deaths that will happen; they have to happen.



Only if humanity knows that we are better off without wars.

That weapon is only used for bunker breaking and it's only the B-2 spirit that can deliver it.
It can only be launched by USA because of its weight (13k +) and it's American last resort.

If USA must deploy it, it would be against the underground Uranium enrichment plant and not Against the supreme leader
