2026 Israel - Iranian conflict [TEMP LOCKED]

[iewgnem]

You got it backwards I think.

They made a bunch of organization changes to delegate launch authority since the 12-day war to make sure a sneak attack doesn't cripple the ability to launch missiles. So that's why they're able to launch within hours of the decapitation instead of being paralyzed.

Instead of the 12 hr delay last year.

But that comes at the cost of large coordinated salvos.
It means they learnt the lesson of hiding the launchers and spreading out the attacks to minimize attrition from airstrikes.

People dont realize it takes 1.5 hours just to fly from Israel to Iran, another hour to go from northern to southern Iran, add return trip and aerial refuel its 4 hours just on transit per sortie.

Launching in single volley will increase chance of penetration but not ideal since it also allows Israel to concentrate their sorties. Launching contineously from random locations hundreds of km apart throughout the day forces continous sortie and a lot less jets on station making it much harder to take out launchers.

This all hinges on the missiles being able to penetrate AD with much smaller numbers, but that is evidently the case.

Its gonna be kinda weird if somehow this war between Iran and US/Israel ends up with the gulf states being the biggest losers and having to pay the price of it all. I don't think anyone saw that coming.

They deserve it for all the years they've spent allowing themselves to be used like prostitutes by the US. It's thanks to them that America has such power and influence over the Middle East. Constantly allowing them to use their land for resources and as staging ground for their little war expeditions. And regardless, they won't mind too much anyway. Trampoline countries are used to always getting stepped on.

There's some significant evidence for the depletion of Iranian missiles. 1) lack of large salvos to inflict serious economic and military pain on Israel. 2) lack of hundreds of AD work in Israel. 3) lack of videos coming from the USA and Israel destroying missile launchers and cook offs. 4) after ayatollah's death irgc vowed devastating response, but nothing has happened. 5) in the previous clashes, Iran used to launch a large salvos consisting of 100+ missiles; we see nothing of that kinda now. 6) depletion due to previous usage of missiles and failure, due to Israel bombing fuel producing factories and sabotaging ships carrying solid fuel in recent times, to restart production in large quantities.

What specific evidence is there at this point about Iran's exhaustion?

Why continue to stupidly spam missiles? Whether it's war or martial arts (I studied for martial arts of 2 years), if you're wasting your energy attacking your opponent at the very beginning, then by the middle of the fight you won't even be able to lift your arms and become a punching bag.

What kind of video recordings should Israel and the US be like? It's unlikely they'll record anything that undermines their authority. Haven't you thought about that? And there's plenty of video footage of US warehouses and bases burning. Or is that wrong again?

Arguing with US fans is like fighting with a woman. Win: You're a loser, you beat the woman. Lose: You're a loser, you lost to the woman.

Iranian army chief of staff Gen. Abdol Rahim Mousavi and Defense Minister Gen. Aziz Nasirzadeh were also killed in the meeting.

As Israel and the U.S. targeted other top officials, an airstrike on a meeting of the country’s defense council killed Iran’s army chief of staff and defense minister, alongside the head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and a top security adviser to Khamenei.

Gen. Abdol Rahim Mousavi and Defense Minister Gen. Aziz Nasirzadeh were killed at the meeting, along with Maj. Gen. Mohammad Pakpour took over as the Guard’s top commander after Israel killed its past commander in the 12-day war last June. The adviser, Ali Shamkhani, had long been a figurehead within Iran’s security establishment.

As for the unfortunate incident in Pakistan. At least one protester was killed and several wounded.

In a sign of how the attack could spread instability throughout the region, hundreds of Shiite Muslims stormed the U.S. Consulate in Pakistan’s port city of Karachi on Sunday, smashing windows. Police and paramilitary forces used batons and fired tear gas to disperse the crowd, said Mohammad Jawad, a police official. At least one protester was killed and several others were wounded in clashes, he said. Shiite Islam is the predominant branch in Iran, though its followers are a minority in Pakistan.

Probably just a piece of debris that fell off the re-entry vehicle or interceptor.

Why is it traveling parallel to the vehicle at the same speed all the way down?

What kind of serious retaliation the IRGC would carried out anyway?
Anything besides the actual usage of nuclear weaponry are just nothing significant.

Don't expect any "Shock & Awe" US-style. If Iran play their cards right they'll eventually make it difficult for the US to remain in the Middle East.

He certainly allowed himself to be killed. That much is obvious. He didn't even leave his compound during the tensions. Benjamin leaves his country the instant the war starts. Really tells you who make up the cowards of the world. Very brave, yet he probably also knew it was his time.

How do these guys keep falling for it honestly?

Maybe the Ayatollah was the deepest cover Mossad agent of all time, just fulfilling his duties one last time.

For pious Shia Muslims like the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, there's no better or more desirable way to exit this plane of existence than to embrace martyrdom, in particular while in defense of Islam.

Khamenei — as a man of deep religious conviction — most likely put his faith in God and left his fate to Him in lieu of taking extreme security measures, knowing full well that He may bless him with martyrdom.

Yes, I'm not joking: to devout Shia Muslims, martyrdom is considered a blessing granted by God, not an unfortunate or unwanted outcome.

Honestly it's hard to know the factual extent of damages and effectiveness of equipments with all those fogs of war.
Israel/US will surely try their best to minimize exposing their losses and Iran being isolated and internet being cutoff cant do much either.

Maybe the only way is to get "state of the art" satellite picture from other superpower (wink wink china)? we got a lot of them prior to war, where are they now

Maybe, but the fact that the same strike took out some of the most senior members of the Iranian military, means that it wasn't just him they were after. In fact, the US and Israel likely knew where he was all along - but they waited until he was meeting with his top leaders to take them all out; that could not have been the plan from Iran.
