Iran fear Israel yet Iran is still the only country Israel dares not break a ceasefire with. Even after yesterday U.S. bombing of Iran’s coastal area Israel quickly distanced itself from the attack so Iran wouldn’t bomb the hell out of them again.

Yes.

But they're actually smarter than Netanyahu.

They haven't shown all their cards yet.

Netanyahu is direct and sometimes overplay his hand.

Right now Israel has no more cards to play, as do America.

They've tried everything. From sanctions to all their latest weapons and technologies.

Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by LordAdam16:
even though the destroyers were hit

iran should notify the yanks through pakistan
that the next time they play this rough play
whether they send a notification beforehand (as they did this time) or not

the mission order will be shoot to kill

and they should definitely consider laying more mines in the strait
the longer this goes on, the more bs they try




the takeaway from this operation is that

the only naval platform they can send into the strait are destroyers
cruisers, lcs, lhds, carriers are less-equipped defensively than destroyers
subs can't enter because the persian gulf is too shallow

but you can't send too few or too many destroyers
too few and they'll easily be overwhelmed
too many and the odds of hitting something increases

lastly, you also have to deploy dozens of air assets to assist in providing a defensive shield

and all of that goes out the window
if the iranians decide to go for the kill and keep sending repeated volleys of dozens of drones, missiles, and gunboats
in a persistent saturation attack




it is also worth adding a chronology of the naval escalations related to the strait

the first time was during the first negotiation round
while the iranians were in pakistan
they sent a small flotilla to the strait, claiming they wanted to conduct mine-clearing operations

the iranians sent a warning that if they didn't leave in 15 minutes, they'd fire
they left

next time was before the launch of the project freedom when they told the iranians they were about to conduct an operation
the yanks released the seized cargo ship and all crew hours earlier claiming it was a gesture of good faith
the iranians did fire this time but it was limited
only destroyers transited. other surface vessels retreated after the lcs canberra was hit

it is the outbound transition of the destroyers that led to last night's operation
where the iranians conducted a larger operation

the next time they attempt this nonsense
iran must go for broke and put a stop to further provocations by sinking a ship
if you send a warning, they always feel like they have to check how serious you are
so the next time, iran should skip damages and sink a ship
it is long overdue




the strait remains firmly in iran's control

Surgical operations, Israel tailored their war doctrines to their capacity. They don't fancy the idea of attritional warfare so they prefer to always strike fast and hard.

Did you just mention "latest technologies"? Abeg o be calming down comrade 🤣🤣. All parties involved have not shown their peak capacities. That's a fact. When it comes to that, the level of damage that would happen even you wouldn't want to be around to see or read about it.

BREAKING: Iran’s FM Araghchi:

Iranians never bow to pressure and diplomacy is always the victim.

Also, the CIA is wrong. Our missile inventory and launcher capacity are not at 75% compared to Feb 28. The correct figure is 120%.

As for our readiness to defend our people:
1,000%

🤡🤡 live in an alternate reality, so they can change the definition of winning a war. We told them earlier the ships in the so called blockade are within range of anti shipping missiles.

They didn’t interfere with oil trade, got caught by western media so they decided to act tough. Iran hammered them immediately, they did a small retaliation and said the ceasefire holds 😆.

Europe and others are draining the USA strategic petroleum reserves like never seen before. In 2-3 months it’s gone and then the real oil crisis will start. So 🤡🤡 if you think Taco can continue this forever then think again.

They have already done irreparable harm to farmers this year, so food prices will go up next year. If they start round 2 and destroy more oil and gas infrastructure, we might get food shortages.

The USA can’t win the economic or military war, 🤡🤡 can bend reality online but reality always snaps back.
