And there was nothing to show for it 😂

It's been reported that USA produces less than 80 THAAD interceptors per year, and they placed TWO of them in Israel. If they're not good enough to stop Iran, how exactly do they intend to fight China with these? They placed
They moved more THAADs from Europe and the US to place in Israel.

Israel became the most defended airspace on earth yet Iranian missiles passed through like it was nothing.

⚡Last night, Russia launched a combined attack on Ukraine using cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and Geran-2 drones. The targets for the missiles were the Starokostyantyniv Airbase and something south of Dnipro.

2 Kinzhal Ballistic missiles were launched by 2 MiG-31Ks from their launch lines in the Rasskazovsky District of Tambov Oblast. They flew to and impacted Starokostyantyniv Airbase in Khmelnytskyi Oblast. Neither of them was shot down.

10 Kalibr cruise missiles were launched from ships from the Black Sea Fleet stationed at Novorossiysk Port in Krasnodar Krai. They flew in 2 groups of 5, one to the vicinity of Dnipro, and the other to Starokostyantyniv Airbase. None were shot down, partially due to their late detection.

Geran-2 drones also targeted Starokostyantyniv Airbase, with at least 8 impacting targets not only at the airbase, but also closer to the city.

Exactly, and its small geographical size was an extra advantage for them. It can be concluded that without foreign assistance, Israel would have surrendered on day 7 at most. Like their pay masters, Israel is a paper tiger that relies on mob action to win fights.

Russia has become a lot more intense since the start of Israel-Iran war. I will be surprised if they don't take the whole of Ukraine by the end of the year.

Don't try to force it. You're starting to look silly.

No single human on earth would look at Putin and say he's having nightmares or sleepless nights because of Zelensky.

When it is actually the opposite. Have you seen Zelensky lately? Not only does he look like someone with sleeping difficulties, he also looks unkempt and haggard like a mad person, even looks older than Putin. That's what war with Russia does to you.

Putin on the other hand have actually gained more weight since 2022. Compare his picture of 2022 and now.

Putin goes around attending conferences, commissioning projects across Russia and meeting with more world leaders than all NATO leaders combined. While Zelensky & Ukraine literally has nothing going on for them other than begging for money from everywhere.

NATO leaders keep meeting only themselves for the past 3 years now while Putin has met nearly all the leaders from every continent.

Israel had to agree to the ceasefire because once interception rate drops low enough, drone strikes will become more effective.
Iran will be able to blanket Israel with drones all day. Preserving its irregularly timed missile salvos for late at night and dawn.

If this had continued for a month, Israel would have started threatening to use nukes to preserve its existence.

And they did become more effective. Iran stated that the 18th wave, which almost exclusively involved Shahed drones, was its most successful drone strike on Israel.

By the way, I'm still waiting for your analysis because I don't understand how you were so optimistic in the early days of the war.

Trump just presented a sanctions relief deal and 30 billion dollars investment in Iran civilian nuclear program I’m not gonna lie this looks like a really good deal. Iran doesn’t need nukes, if they can include peace in Gaza it’ll be fantastic. Although you can never trust the usa government, I just don’t know what the catch is in the deal.

You've been saying the same thing about Zelensky since 2022. Everyone knows that is his natural appearance. Zelensky keeps travelling all over the world. Pootin meanwhile remains in a bunker and cannot even visit fellow BRICS countries. He missed South Africa in 2023 and is going to miss Brazil this year again. All because of ICC warrant that Zelensky served him hot hot. Rest!!!! Propaganda doesn't change facts....

Drone strikes + hacking the early warning system is also the only practical way for Iran to carry out assassinations.
An operation similar to how Hezbollah struck a cafeteria of the IDF during its war.

The good thing about this war is that just like hezbollah, Israel can continue killing anybody they percieved as dangerous in Iran and also destroy any project they feel threatens the state of Israel...

There would be more killing of Republic guards, basij operatives and nuclear scientist..

Iran should tell them to add an enrichment provision and add a zero to the sum.

Iran already has a civilian n***ear program.
The Bushehr N***** Plant (first in the ME) has been active and under complete Iranian control since 2013.
It provides electricity to the Iranian power grid.
Since 2017, Russia has been building two new r**ctors at Bushehr. With the option to build 6 more at other sites.
The second r**ctor was connected to the grid in October 2024.

Iran enriches the uranium for the Bushehr power plant.

The $30B will be paid by Arab countries.
But Iran would get that anyway after sanctions relief.
It does not need the US to insert itself into a deal it does not desire
China has already negotiated rapprochement between Iran and the Gulf.
The only impediment to cross-investment are the US-imposed sanctions.
Iran and the Gulf will independently negotiate investments in areas of mutual benefit after sanctions are lifted.

Trump's deal should be set on fire.
The only appropriate response to that offer is "**** YOU!"

We all know the US is stalling for a second war.
Iran should re-arm and insist on its enrichment red line.
If it would do so is a different story. Pezeshkian and Araqchi are rabid Westernophiles.

Israel has been assassinating operatives and scientists before the war.

I will be waiting for it o, because at that time it looked like they had perfected everything out with America. The highest military command had been taken out, the leader was hours away from death, and many first-world countries were collaborating to protect Israel from all retaliatory strikes. I contemplated it several times but I didn't see how Iran could get out of it without direct foreign intervention. Even Trump believed it was a checkmate

The deal is good, but control of Iran remains their ultimate target. Look at what the Syrian jihadists are now getting away with. They've killed hundreds of Christians and Shiites but since they're puppets, you don't hear much cries from the West. So long as Iran doesn't become another gulf country, a nuke remains necessary for its survival. If they can't make one secretly, they must get some from North Korea and be ready to test it when the devil comes knocking again

The Axis is slow to action.

It is also attempting to "manage" US decline.
The thinking is that if they were to form an overt military alliance, the US + West would decide to start WW3 within months than wait until they're weaker.
The Axis overwhelmingly prefers a controlled demolition over winning a hot war that'll devastate the globe.

Sounds great in theory.
The drawback is in the axiom: Delay is dangerous.

-Lord
Perhaps because we have more individuals who respect humanity within the Axis compared to their counterparts, who are willing to burn down the house rather than lose alone.

I'm trying to keep my assessment of the Iran-Israel war succinct.
Nairaland (thanks to the b0t) is not an ideal platform to share a comprehensive take.
That has meant discarding reams of informative details.
I'll highlight some of the most noteworthy in regular comments going forward.




Like this.

In November 2024, General Davood Sheikhian, ex deputy for operations of the IRGC Aerospace Force, said that Iran never requested the S-400 systems, and that Iran's current capabilities were far superior to them.
https://www.iranintl.com/en/202411171565

General Dafool is not with us anymore.
A casualty of the Iran-Israel war.

If he had survived, I would have recommended a court martial and an execution.
Israel did Iran a service by killing him.

Russia has been hawking the S-400 like okrika at Oshodi.
China, Belarus, India, Algeria all acquired it.
Even Turkey, a NATO member, acquired the S-400.
The US itself has offered to buy the S-400 from Turkey in return for allowing Turkey to get F-35 jets. Turkey refused.

But a coterie of id**ts that call themselves generals got high on their own supply and rejected it.
Their replacements have done exceedingly well in beating Israel into a surrender.
But the political class in Iran must begin to reign in on the st***dity of the flag officers.
This time the flag officers paid for their mistakes with their lives.
Next time, the political class may join the ranks of fatalities.

Mk dem no gree for anybody for that IRGC.
All of them for that IRGC need close marking.

@ foolishboy and lord Adam

Good points. I just feel Iran can quickly become an economic powerhouse if sanctions are lifted. With their huge gas reserves they can partner with Russia and build pipelines from Russia to Pakistan and India. Pakistan and North Korea have said directly and indirectly they’ll give Iran nukes if they are nuked. If the Iranian civilian nuclear program can be transferred to Russia ( this will be difficult for the proud Persians) then I think it’s a good deal. The USA wants to destroy Russia and china but they’re still doing business with both.
