I want to ask a question.
If America decided to destroy every Iran source of incomes, economy etc like energy, oil, infrastructures. Infact if America doesn't mind Civilian casualties.. would Iran still stand and be making mouthhuh
Like they did in Afghanistan and Iraq?

I had to refresh my brain on the cost of this expenditure per jet.

Estimated approx costs for F-35 (per F35.com, export contracts, etc.)

Fly-away cost

From $82.5 million (Lots 15-17 for F-35A)

Combat-ready cost

$100-$130 million

Newer Lots

Closer to $100 million fly-away cost (F-35A)

Total package cost (averaged per unit)

$250 to $275 million

Number delivered

Over 1,310

, you should be asking what will happen to the American economy itself! American economy is based on Petro dollar.
Once Iran is attacked and Iran itself destroys the economy of the Gulf countries, American itself will be in a strategic mess.
This is how the world works. Have you asked yourself why Americans are buying gases at a higher prices?
America already getting fuel from another country. Nothing much will happen to America economy.

You guys need to see the video of this rescue mission, America is the world's undisputed worldpower.


More than 5 rescue planes were dispatched to Iran with convoy of other fighter jets all flying low, engaging and neutralizing IRGC ground troops who tried to stop the rescue.



America is pitying Iran, those guys can blow Iran to ashes if they wish, they are just trying to avoid civilian casualties in Iran
You are becoming daft

Iran that shutdown almost invisible jet can shut down all these slow moving rescue helicopters

Iran chose to embarrass USA so that they cannot deny the shutdown jet

To think that each and every rescue move was part of their training over and over like 100 times.

When you are in distress and the last sure comfort you have in your heart is the certainty that you have WELL TRAINED MEN & WOMEN on ground and comms, that would never sleep well till they bring you home dead or alive.

they can... but they are not at war because congress never approved this operation. Also, there are rules of engagement and till now, it has been better repected by Iran than the US. They also tried to do that in Vietnam but you can never win guerrilla on away turf.
That's it. Some people thought America is fighting real war with Iran. They're celebrating Missiles firing any how. If in a real war, casualties would be plenty and Iran would be destroyed.

JUST IN: Iranian Parliament Speaker: 'From Regime Change to Can Someone Locate Our Pilots?'
Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf mocked the U.S. following the downing of an American F-15E fighter jet in Iranian airspace. He wrote on X: "After you attacked Iran 37 times in a row, the amazing and strategy-less war you started has now shifted from 'regime change' to 'Hey! Can someone locate our pilots?' Wow. What amazing progress. Absolute genius."

Iran already captured one of the American Pilots...grin grin grin

Iran will squeeze information from the pilot to the point he will wish he was shot on the spot during his capture...grin grin grin

The lying talkative in the White House will tweet again tomorrow with another LAMBA to his brainwashed supporters...grin grin grin

See how you are celebrating the downing of an ordinary aircraft. Without even killing any pilot.

US have been able to kill and bomb facilities inside Iran and the only achievement of Iran is shooting down an aircraft. And you are celebrating

2 months don pass already...wake up😹
Iran are counting their loses whereas the US and Israel are counting their success.
Every one successful hit by Iran there are already 100 successful hits on Iran targets by the IDF.
I hope you are following the whole news.
Wake up boy!

Have you done negotiating with yourselves?
Lols
Trump , Hegseth, Jared and Witkoff negotiating among themselves and after calling a press conference is the greatest shame of the Century
See how the Iranians you claim are begging your for a ceasefire are mocking and disgracing you all over the place

Las las you will run away from Iran in shame

I don't just know how you guys are reasoning! Are you telling me that the power that brought down the fully armed fighter jet can't do the same to the unarmed helicopter? Bro, it is called a rescue team, such can't be targeted as it is against the law. You can't attack the rescue team.

JUST IN: Reports: Helicopters rescued pilot shot down in Iran under fire; soldiers injured by small arms fire
Two American helicopters were hit by Iranian fire during the rescue operation following the downing of an F-15E fighter jet in southwestern Iran. This is according to a report on the American NBC network citing an official U.S. source, who noted that the crew members are safe. Simultaneously, CBS network reported that the pilot was rescued by helicopters, with at least one of them taking small arms fire that caused injuries to several crew members. Two official U.S. sources said the helicopter managed to land safely and that all those involved are receiving medical treatment. It was noted that the search continues for the second crew member who was on the downed fighter jet.

Iran cant respond more than what they are doing actually. If they have the capbility they would have wiped out Israel at the outset of the war
