Reports stating that Israel have launched an attack against Iran
With Iran's air defence pretty much non-existent, the IDF can just bomb them every day for the foreseeable future.
Not that bombs are indefinite, but a lot cheaper and quicker to produce (especially when it's the US supplying them) than Iran's ballistic missiles.
It's just too easy for Israel to sustain attacking Iran than the reverse.
Was Paul Murphy released in Egypt while on his jolly trip on tax payers money?
If it was common for a regime to fall due to bombing there would have been no US soldiers on the ground in Afghanistan and Iraq. The first gulf war even proved that a regime can lose a war and still stay in power. It's crazy how there never seems to be plan b if the bombing the **** out of a place doesn't produce the desired outcome.
Those bombing campaigns were brute force. Israel seem to be next level when it comes to infiltration and tracking the movements of enemy leaders. Their ingenuity is incredible also, the pagers operation for example.
One wonders how the Israeli public would feel about having to spend all of summer 2025 in air raid shelters. You speak as if bombing Iran daily for the foreseeable future is something that would have no impact on Netanyahu's regime or its citizens itself.
Nothing unifies a people like an outside attack.
I'm sorry that still doesn't indicate that the Iranian regime that has all the weaponry in Iran will suddenly fall to their unarmed populace. What pain b do israel have?
No idea
Correct but how anyone can say well done to Israel whilst they currently carry out forced starvation and genocide is beyond rationality
The plan may be to kill the regime leaders rather than overthrow the regime. Extremely difficult but they did it with Hamas and Hezbollah, leaving just dregs behind.
What are the regime without their experienced leaders. Could the dregs hiding out successfully roll out operational nukes?
I'm just going on the fact Israel has been bombing Gaza around the clock for 18+ months and haven't ran out of bombs. Iran has 3 weeks supply of ballistic missiles left (going by 140 fired a day and a stockpile of 3000).
I just can't see Iran putting up a fight much longer. They are just vastly outgunned with pretty much zero defense.
I doubt Iran will be reduced in the same manner as hamas have due to the relative sizes of their population and armies. Israel seem clueless how to end the conflict in Gaza so I'm not sure where their confidence comes from with their Iranian strategy.
Iran didn’t capitulate in an 8 year war with Iraq which was being simultaneously supplied and funded by the west and the Soviet bloc. Israel is not in a good position to fight a long war over such vast distances. Aircraft need maintenance, pilots need rest, the population grow weary. Israel is a relatively small, target rich environment. This is existential for the Iranian government in a way that it is not for Israel despite how Bibi and co wish to portray it.
Yes, but my point is that millions of Israelis are having to run to air raid shelters every few hours, including in the middle of the night (big missile attack on Tel Aviv at 2.45am last night). This rarely if ever happened during the Israeli attack on Gaza.
iran is looking like a target rich environment too - reports the foreign ministry now has been hit
Israel using car bombs just like they did in Lebanon a generation ago but everyone else are terrorists. Shameful so called “democracy”.
Netanyahu broke the ceasefire in Gaza to remain in power and this attack on Iran (during talks with the US about their nuclear capabilities) is for the exact same reason. He wants conflict. He wants war. Because without it he's vulnerable. As long as chaos is happening he remains safe.
That is the only reason why Israel is attacking Iran now.
I think the poster who said Iran is scrambling behind the scenes for a way out is correct. Israeli jets can now fly in Tehran unopposed. Iran's top military leaders have been eliminated. It's not that easy to replace these people. If the Iranians were truly capable of a consumerate response Israel would likely not have attacked in the first place. For me these attacks by Israel are another demonstration of just how **** the Russian air defense systems actually are when matched against advanced western weaponry.
If this goes on much longer the regime could indeed fall. The twisted Irony of Bibi claiming he has the best interest of civilians at heart is a sick joke. I thought graphene was amongst the hardest substances known to man but the neck of this guy is even stronger!
Iran can't even be getting Russia's best AA stuff since Russia surely has to hold that back to defend against Ukrainian drone attacks both in Russians cities and the Ukrainian eastern front.
The problem is Iran will run out of missiles soon enough. Also unless Iran can inflict heavy damage on Israel( which we clearly see it can't) the Israeli public won't turn on Nethanyu. The vast majority of their missiles are being intercepted. Iran are the like the lad shouting hold me back on a Friday night. I am no fan of the current Israeli government, but I don't see the point in denying the evidence in front of our eyes that Iran are no match for Israel militarily
The US, UK and France are defending genocidal Israel from the retaliation in the latest war they started.
unfortunately Israel’s plan to end the conflict is to flatten Gaza and eradicate all civilians
If Israel wanted to commit genocide they could have done it a lot quicker and cheaper but do carry on with your fairytale.
He broke the cease fire because Hamas were going to use it to stage another attack.
Lies.
There was me thinking you were referring to your post👍
I'm sure that's absolutely hilarious in your bog.
key iranian officials still being taken out
"Iranian intelligence chief killed in strikes - report
The head of Iran's intelligence agency and his deputy were killed in Israeli strikes today, the state-owned Iranian news agency Tasnin reports.
The agency says Mohammad Kazemi, the head of the Intelligence Organisation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), led one of the two main intelligence agencies of the country."
And there is another thread for Russia - perhaps your post would have been better there? Regardless. Israel have announced that their campaign against Iran is now #1, Gaza being #2. Which they are ramping up whilst the world is looking the other way.
Certainly, more civilians will suffer at the hands of Netanyahu who is simply saving his political skin.
Gaza is on their doorstep - boots on the ground, artillery, battle tanks, drones, navy etc delivering many of those bombs.
Israel's campaign in Iran would presumably be by air alone. Not sure if Israel has the capability (or will) to launch missiles directly?
