Re: Iran Using 'cluster Bomb Warheads' With Smaller Explosives In Attacks On Israel by Abioladoks: 5:56pm On Jun 19, 2025
In just six days, Israel has changed the Middle East forever.

We’re witnessing what I believe is the most stunning and masterful military and intelligence campaign in history. And while most people surely realize that Israel’s successes are impressive, I’m not sure the moment is properly understood or appreciated. So, let me try and put things in perspective.

Israel, a country roughly 22,000 square kilometres in size, with a population of approximately 10 million, has completely dismantled Iran – a country that is 1.6 million square kilometres in size and that has a population of 90 million. If we’re talking land – that’s 72 times the size of Israel – and nearly 10 times the population. This is mind-boggling. If we look at land mass, it would be like Cuba taking out the United States.

If we focus on population, think about Maine overwhelming Pennsylvania. Then take into account that there’s about 1500 kilometres between the two countries, with Israel carrying out strikes at least 2300 kilometres away, depending on how far into Iran they’ve travelled. Again – unbelievable.

But this isn’t all about successes. What we’re seeing is also the result of the greatest political and strategic miscalculation in history – October 7th.

In 600 days, Hamas has been decimated, Hezbollah is in tatters, the Assad regime has fallen, and the IDF controls the skies of Iran – regime officials are running for their lives. Yahya Sinwar, Hassan Nasrallah, Ismail Haniyeh, Ibrahim Aqil, Fuad Shukr, Mohammad Deif, Marwan Issa, Hossein Salami, and countless others have been eliminated. Because of unchecked hubris throughout much of the Arab world, chronic and blinding fanaticism, deep delusion, and a complete denial of Jewish and Israeli resolve, our enemies have suffered a catastrophic collapse.

I raise these points to underscore the gravity of what’s happening right now. Take it in, be in awe, and understand that the world will never be the same – and that’s a good thing.

These are the people you want to allow to have nuke.
Why can't they have nukes, Pakistan has nukes, India has, so why not Iran ? It is not like they will be harassing every nation with it, it is a deterrent. It is only Isreal and the US that's restless about Iran having nuclear capabilities. Remember it's Isreal that started this war. Israel stirred the hornet's nest.

Israel started this war unprovoked.

They should take whatever they get. And US should and NATO should stay out of it.

[quote author=WriterrNg post=135810738][b]So where is Netanyahu right now? In his office?

Above ground?

Israel succeeded in taking out Iran's military leaders because they took them by surprise and they were all assassinations from Mossad splinter cells inside Iran.

Netanyahu claims Israel ‘accurately hit’ nuclear, missile targets

The Israeli PM has posted a video of himself outside Beersheba’s Soroka Medical Center, which suffered damage from an Iranian missile attack today.

In it, he claims the Israeli military “accurately hit nuclear targets and missile targets, and they [Iran] hit a hospital, where people can’t even get up and run away”.

“That’s the whole difference in a democracy that acts according to the law to save itself from these murderers and against these murderers who want to destroy each and every one of us”.

Israel has regularly attacked hospitals in its war on Gaza, with officials in the besieged enclave stating that Israel has bombed and burned at least 36 hospitals across the Gaza Strip since the war began in October 2023.

bid4rich:
Israel has precision of targets while Iran throws bombs aimlessly

Iran will be decimated militarily while Israel will suffer civilian chaos.

Between those who hit the target to decimate the opposing military strength and those who kill civilians to count scores,

who wins?
But western backed CNN disagrees with your notion that Iran doesn't have precision Targets.
Abi you no get TV for house?

Iran is not going to survive this. This is one of the reasons why Israel ordered the evacuation of Tehran. It is going to be massive. 20 JDAM bombs are enough to turn Tehran to Gaza. This is the beginning of the end of the Ayatollah of Shaitan
Keep quiet!

Iran can absorb all Israeli shocks. Of course they will pay for it in blood and money, but so too will Israel.

If both should sustain their tempo, at this rate, Israel will soon run out of people, while Iran will still have more than 80million people in population after all is said and done.
ayatolla will be among the 80m people remaining abi

Okay let the killed count start then
Re: Iran Using 'cluster Bomb Warheads' With Smaller Explosives In Attacks On Israel by MrSly(m): 6:15pm On Jun 19, 2025
Llpsporksman:
For decades, the world was ruled by a belief—not a political belief, but a near-religious faith: that the United States of America was untouchable. The great protector. The divine kingmaker. The self-anointed god of global affairs. With military bases in over 70 countries, a dollar that dictated global trade, and a veto in every hall of power, America acted not like a nation—but like a god.
And like all false gods, it too has met its day of reckoning.
The ongoing war between Iran and Israel is not just a regional conflict. It is a spiritual and symbolic collapse of the American illusion. For all its wealth, satellites, weapons, and propaganda machines, the USA is standing helplessly as one of its closest allies—Israel—is bombarded, bloodied, and humbled.
Where is the divine protection now?

🏛️ The Myth of the Anointed One
The United States told the world that Israel was anointed—a divine ally, protected by “shared values” and equipped with weapons of invincibility. For decades, every crime Israel committed was excused. Every bomb it dropped was justified. Every UN resolution against it was blocked by America’s hand.
And the world watched and believed: Surely, this nation must be chosen, for no one dares challenge it.
But now, missiles are raining down on Tel Aviv. Fireballs light the night sky. Israeli civilians run for cover. And the vaunted Iron Dome—praised like a shield from heaven—is overwhelmed, pierced, exposed.
This is no longer just war. This is divine exposure.
If America’s anointed can bleed like everyone else, then was it ever truly protected? Or was it all a lie?

💣 When the “Protector” Is Powerless
As Iran pounds Israeli infrastructure with ballistic missiles, drones, and cyberattacks, America has resorted to the only weapon it has left: words. Empty threats. Warnings. “Ceasefire or else.”
Or else what?
Washington can’t stop the missiles.
Washington can’t silence the resistance.
Washington can’t put Israel back on the pedestal.
If the U.S. truly was what it pretended to be—a global god—why is its most armed, most funded, most trained ally being dragged through the mud by a nation it called “evil” and “inferior”?
Because the throne is empty.

🌍 A Message to All U.S. Allies: You’re On Your Own
Let this be a warning to every nation still kneeling before Washington:
• To Europe, still under the illusion that NATO is a shield: ask yourself what would happen if real war came to your doorstep. Will America bleed for you, or will it just send weapons and condolences?
• To Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states, who thought oil made them untouchable: remember how the U.S. abandoned Afghanistan overnight.
• To Ukraine, still dancing in the illusion of Western promises: weapons may be shipped, but lives are lost by you—not them.
• And to Africa, where leaders are still selling resources in exchange for “stability”: understand that you are only protected as long as you obey.
Israel was the crown jewel. The “little America” in the Middle East. If even Israel can be exposed, beaten, and bombarded—no ally is safe.

🧠 The Divine Complex of Empires
The American empire is suffering from the disease of divinity—the belief that it can choose who wins, who leads, who lives, and who dies. That it can speak like God, act like God, and silence all challengers.
But history has never been kind to false gods.
Rome fell. The British Empire faded. The USSR collapsed. All believed they were eternal. All vanished.
America, too, has overreached. Its hands are soaked in war. Its promises are paper. Its moral credibility is gone. And now, as Iran humiliates its favorite creation, the whole world sees it:
America cannot protect anyone.
Not even itself.

🙏 Only God Is God
Let the world hear this clearly: No superpower is divine. No nation is anointed. No military is eternal.
There is only one God, and He is not American.
No president, no Pentagon general, no elite in a suit can control the tides of justice, the anger of the oppressed, or the resilience of truth.
The myth has shattered. The mask has fallen. And the world must now choose:
Continue worshipping the god of bombs and banks?
Or finally submit to the truth that power belongs only to the One who never bleeds, never falls, and never lies?
All three epistle on a nation that is about to toe the path of its colleague like Iraq. Dey play

https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/boris-johnson-says-bug-was-found-in-bathroom-after-2017-meeting-with-netanyahu/

All American politicians fanatically supporting Israel has soon secret SCANDAL of theirs in Israel's hands.
It is not surprising therefore, that Epstein's file release, is trending currently in America.
As Israel is desperately pressuring American politicians, to launch a costly war on Iran.
The name of the game is blackmail and bribery.
But Israel is the ultimate loser, because since Oct7 2023, too many Americans have started to wakeup to the fact
that the relationship btw Israel and America is one of FORCED SLAVERY.
America political system has been enslaved by the global Zionist movement.
And the consequences of America featuring in a war on Iran for Israel,
will be the final straw that breaks the control of Israel over America.
The fallout in America will be stronger than the one of Vietnam riots

Bro, if you want to get real happenings about the war tune in to Al Jazeera. They are on ground following minute by minute events.
Following news on social media will make you believe plenty of lies and AI generated images.
IRAN foreign minister is meeting leaders of France, UK and Germany tomorrow to BEG Israël to stop the war. This does not show that Iran is winning.
Also, every street in Israël have bunkers and shelters for its citizens...only those taken unawares can be killed by Iranian missiles. I am talking out of expérience
To actually beg?
Seems you're not conversant with iran's psychological tactics.
In warfare, foes can deliberately appear weak, to strike harder when you least expected; that's exactly what Iran have been doing right from day one
- send drones to engage Israel's defense, while using missiles randomly to portray very weak technology
- send hypersonic missiles with evasion but randomly, to portray a struggling technology
- send hypersonic missiles with evasion and precision to show a better technology

If you have a technology with just one principle of perfection , you can easily lose a battle like the game of chess .

...and maybe, we haven't seen the best

Israel isn't a match for Iran.
Iran could flatten the entire Israel in one day.
Despite the weapons/ammunitions USA equipped them with before they summoned the courage to strike Iran,they can't match Iran.
Iran is well advanced militarily.
Those flat headed guys are always on the losing side and they would come here to rant.

Armless? Seems they have killed like 50k Iranian soldiers oo
Does it seem like Israel is interested in taking out pawns? The murderous tyrannical Supreme leader of Iran can throw 5m bodies into this war without flinching. Israel is well aware of this, so it seems the targets are the regime leaders and weaponry. Israel goes for the head, once cut off, they control the group or let internal fracas work an implosion of lawlessness. Anyhow, the goal is Iran will never possess a nuclear weapon.
