2026 Israel - Iranian conflict [TEMP LOCKED]

[douglaxd]

Can we stop with this, Iran has no capability to hit a carrier or any component of a CSG as long as they aren't sitting motionless in the middle of the ocean.

Makes a great media headline. Because average Joe just automaticly assume all hate on the Iranian supreme leader, and they have no clue about even their own history.

Here on my campus, many students are cheering and celebrating. I myself, not even Iranian, questioned their sanity. Do they really think shah Iran was better? The sad reality is, many people have no clue, and this serves a massive media win for frumo5

You can't be open about your views lest be accused of being pro terrorist, against women's rights (being sluts and degenerates, only fans, Uber feminist), and the usual against "Freedom and Democracy" schtick!! But don't have any issues with having that idiot Pahlavi as Iran's "rightful" ruler! Talk about insanity.

Lots of sparks are flying.
Iranians are currently out on the streets doing there thing. Its hard to tell the reasons they are celebrating when the bombs hit.

Does anyone know what 3 older / standard Kilo-class SSK are doing that Iran got in the 1990s from BoriZzzZ - Vodka Supremacy - Yeltsin?

The irony is of the charts when someone like Vodka Yeltsin is able to give Iran 3 standard Kilo SSK during 1990s. Most likely the only units that might pack some theoretical punch. If they haven't been smoked last year (June 2025) or in the past 36 hours.

Take solace that they died for Israel, no for the US, for Israel. Thinking again I retract that, they didn't died for Israel, they died for Netanyahu zionist Middle East expansionist wet dream.

Those american soldiers died so that the pedo-zionist cartel can continue to rape and murder their children. Mindbogglingly surreal and grotesque what the west at least has become.

To be fair, a lot of American service members are not particularly political, or meaningfully concerned with casus belli or the lack thereof.

For many of them — especially those from the lower rungs of American society — military service first and foremost represents a steady paycheck with above average benefits, if not an opportunity to escape poverty.

This is why a disproportionate number of American service members come from US territories like Puerto Rico and Guam, where the average per capita income is roughly half that of the American mainland.

However, what American service members do care about is possessing absolute overmatch against the enemy, so that they are subject to minimal — if not negligible — return fire and risk of casualties.

As such, while plenty of American service members hold reservations about war against China or Russia, for a not insignificant portion of the US military, Operation Epic Fury against Iran is practically a "training exercise," at least until they make contact with the enemy.

They might be just sitting extremely quietly near the strait. Waiting for a US warship to pass over. The US can sink all the ships trump wishes. So what? Submarines are always the ultimate equalizer.

Somebody's lying. I guess we'll find out soon.

I think we can safely conclude who it is that's lying. (Hint: It's someone very orange, very senile, and very annoying.)

I remember that the US used to recruit lots of people from the

, however that number has decreased because of the "wokenization" of the US Army.

Not to mention the very real possiblity of a carrier coming to a full-stop due to a variety of reasons, some including certain... waste related issues. Besides, the US Military lost multiple fighter jets due to sheer incompetence. I can definitely see their carriers stopping randomly and just being stationary targets because of some random order from higher-up or miscellaneous mechanical issue. Thinking you're the top dog leads to serious complacency. See Russia.

No, that shitty (literal) aircraft carrier is near Israel; that's too far, and the time margin for error is much lower.

USS Lincoln will definitely not dare to stop; they still remembered the lesson learned from the Houthis.
