The thing about that missile launches are those could be for all we know we’re reposts and not new. And I like to be on the side of caution but what we know for a fact was very few missiles were launched today compared to the previous days. Ether Iran is planning or waiting for something or Israel has destroyed most of the launchers or stock or Israel has finally gained air superiority/supremacy causing Iran to launch less missiles each wave
2025 Israel - Iranian conflict
- Thread starter Maikeru
- Start date
We have enough footage of F-16s specifically doing just that. 3 fuel tanks, maybe a sip of fuel on route - and go.
Range to western Iran is significant, but not overwhelming.
Okay so i had a possible theory, though quite far fetched for some of you.
So, i'm of the opinion that the Iranian Military is secretly collaborating with IDF in order to weaken the IRGC capabilities or even paved away a possible coup against the current Iranian administration.
I get this conclusion from the rather lack of activity does the Iranian Military currently positioned itself, especially with their S-300 ADS, and also noticed that much of the ADS systems that Israel have destroyed are mostly homegrown systems which usually went into the jurisdiction of the IRGC, and also not to mention that the IRGC are in control of most of the Iranian missile capabilities.
From my times where i usually hanged out on pro-Iranian forums, it can be stated that the rivalry between the Iranian Military and the IRGC is also the main contributing factor. There were times when they went into conflict over arms procurement, especially the S-300 and later on T-90 tanks. And not to mention the favoritism towards IRGC within the Iranian structure, so it is not far fetched that the Iranian military felt very bitter towards them.
I have a feeling that this collaboration has been a thing since the assassination of Hamas leader Haniyeh and later on the exact position of Hezbollah leadership.
So yeah in my opinion, the Iranian Mossad mole this entire is the Iranian Military, from sabotaging the IRGC assets to even giving a possible way for Israeli aircrafts in navigating from Iran's own IADS which is spread out throughout the country.
This is so far only my hypothesis and borders on the periphery of off-topic but i would like to stressed out that the rivalry between the Iranian Military and the IRGC is also a contributing factor within this current conflict.
It seems that Israel is in big trouble when they declared censorship
From that video it looks like Iran hit maybe 4 targets. Isreal air defense looks to be getting weaker over time. Also interesting that Iran launched it during the day
Israeli police raided an apartment in Haifa where a foreign news crew was
Do people seriously believe that Israel has been able to destroy a large percentage of Iran’s launch systems in literally just 3-4 days?
People need to understand that we are talking about a country more than twice the size of Ukraine and twice the population? Plus a large part of their defense being the concealment and protection of military assets deep underground in fortified bunkers.
Even Desert Storm took far longer, and that was an entire coalition of US and NATO forces, in a major state of deployment, at a time when the US reigned supreme with essentially no capable enemies anymore.
All that against Iraq, a country that, yes, people claim to have had one of the strongest militaries at the time, but was just out of a war with Iran, whose leadership and cohesion was even more unstable than Iran’s, whose economy and industry was weak, whose land was more than three times smaller than Iran’s, and population more than four times smaller.
And NATO still had to put in heavy work to destroy their assets. Plus Iraq did not put much effort in tunnels and underground bunkers, which is a major factor in a military and country’s survival against a superior opponent.
They just did some fancy big booms like all western militaries love to do, not much more. I’m sure they destroyed some assets, probably some launchers here and there, but nothing even close to diminishing their power. Not yet at least.
Something big must have been hit there if they don’t want people to film anything there. I know there is a restriction on what you can post but I think this is the first time they actually raided a place.
Considering Iran is filled with Mossad and their SAM and AD seem to be largely destroyed or just not working and that Isreal has basically free rein over Iran, I do think they might of, I don’t rule it out
