US/Israel conduct airstrikes on Iran again

always dangerous to say iran has the aces when they are up against two nuclear powers one of which has upped its "defence" budget to 1.5 trillion dollars

the people of iran werent out on the streets back in January dying in their thousands for no good reason- the regime there cant afford the war to drag on either irans economy isnt exactly star of the month

Eh …. because their goal is to stop Israel's genocide and ethnic cleansing … the wipe them off the face of the earth is just zionist BS

Reports too that the IDF are hugely stretched because of having to fight wars on so many fronts.

You obviously didn’t read it because I’m very curious as to how iron dome defence interceptors {Germany wants to build and use from these factories going out of business thanks to China} can be used for “aggression”

Not so according to the Pakistani newspaper Dawn. Are the US markets closed tomorrow for some reason?

Pakistan embassy in Tehran not targeted but neighbourhood where it is located bombed heavily: sources

A diplomatic source in Tehran has confirmed to Dawn that the Pakistan embassy and the Pakistan House in the Iranian capital have not been targeted.

He said this in response to a query about reports circulating on social media that there had been bombing near the embassy and the Pakistan House.

“The Pakistan embassy and Pakistan House in Tehran were not targeted. Their neighbourhoods — Fatimid and Pasdaran — were bombed heavily. The embassy had been operating from a location outside Tehran since the start of the war, but the staff had returned for the March 23 ceremony,” the source told Dawn.

israelis seem to think trump is on for ground invasion - he may have no choice at this rate

I read that earlier and like another Israeli article someone posted earlier, I suspect it's wishful thinking. It would take the Americans till next autumn to assemble the ground force necessary for a full invasion. Both wars on Iraq were preceded by months of buildup. Trump has barely begin the process. And there's the midterms.

Here's another Times of Israel article that may be a little more on the nose:-

Iran's regime was teetering. This war could be keeping it from collapse | The Times of Israel

Changing the situation, Goldstone estimated, would only be possible if the military defected, but neither air cover for the opposition nor strategic targeting of the regime is enough to do the job. Outside force usually hardens resistance instead of breaking it, and without military defections, unarmed protesters cannot overthrow the regime, according to Goldstone’s assessment.

A more likely way for war to break a regime would be a ground campaign severe enough to cause military collapse, yet the idea appears implausible for now. Kurdish forces or exiles appear unlikely to achieve internal organization. For the US, such an invasion appears politically impossible, as it raises fears of prolonged occupation and insurgency similar to those in Iraq or Afghanistan.“People [in the US] would rather live with what’s left of the Islamic Republic than put half a million troops on the ground in Iran,” said Vatanka, adding that more broadly, “it’s unlikely that Western populations would support a long, expensive, and difficult occupation.”

Might be another example of perfidy demonstrated by israel and the usa, standard operating practice for decades it seems.

The geneva conventions only apply to some it seems.

The IDF are a paper tiger, only good for sniping kids and raping prisoners. Faced with any sort of resistance and they fold. They stay nice and safe at home. No Israeli troops heading over to Iran. A nation of cowards, hiding behind big brother and using his weapons to bully the weak.

I'm sure the neighbourhood was full of IRGC and missile launchers hiding amongst the civilians

This gives an indication of just how disastrously the war is going for the Israelis - inflicting relatively minor damage on Iran and their own credibility and standing in the world gets shredded to pieces.

@wildgreen excellent, so having a massive supply of long range ballistic missiles was just for show, and the uranium was just there for storage. You do realise just as we can say that the USA and Israel are wrong, you can also say that Iran and their proxies are wrong.
