Assassinating Ahmadinejad is like assassinating Bush Jr, figures who haven't been in power for decades.
The Gulf always has heavy helicopter activity in peace time.
Pakistan has to be very careful now to placate Shia unrest which it has historically handled very well. This must not turn into another Raymond Davis incident where Americans killed Pakistani civilians and local government helped US get away.
The designs of this incident wreak of ulterior American motives to create chaos and sectarian unrest just like it is happening now in the middleast with the idiotic Arabs.
Pakistan has to choose now between being a slave of US and it's own structural integrity.
I have a feeling that Pakistan is on the WRONG side in this scenario.
The claim doesn't match reality. Very little scenes of destruction seen in Iran compared to the starting of the previous war, and at that time they did not achieve air superiority. So how is it now that they have air superiority but very little damage to show on ground? It does not like even 20 munitions were dropped, let alone 2000!
Kurd really are morons on another level. Not only did they already have the resentment of everyone around them (Syria, Turkey, Iran, Iraq) but they also allied with Israel hoping it would help them secure an independent Kurdistan, and now they have to face not only the Irani government directly but also regional and local shia proxies who are openly attacking them. Hard to believe these are the people who once produced the likes of Saladin.
That Chinese contractor i spoke to in Iraq was right about Kurds - they are gonna get lit up very soon.
I could not find any visual confirmation of the AN/FPS-132 being targetted. The videos currently available are of Al Udeid airbase and Doha's International Airport (where the radome was hit). The AN/FPS-132 is not located in either of these locations, but rather further north in Qatar near a small Umm Garn Airport.
Dumbass Arabs seem keen to be lured into this ground war. MBS also is in a precarious situation like Trump where he needs major distractions to pacify domestic population who may revolt against him as soon as his sickly father (King Salman) dies, as MBS usurped his position to crown prince ahead of many other royals and went on a hunting spree of local elite figures. King Salman, already on his deathbed with both arms paralyzed, one stroke, multiple dementias, organ failures and other health issues, aged 90, is a ticking time bomb.
Another angle,
I suspect the use of decoys released near the terminal phase. Looks like they have cracked the code of these interceptors. Numerous interceptors missing a single target and not even chasing it after the miss should raise the blood pressure in Israel.
They'll be the first on scene if Iran launches a balloon.
It’s always like this, I notice not many replies from a certain sleepy after Iran has started wrecking house, if any of the gulf states fall due to this current madness, their is no way the USA could even be able to consider that to be any kind of a victory. If this much has happened in two days, imagine what is going to happen in a week or two, if those missile damage Israel’s critical infrastructure that is required to help Israel to even function as a state, I really do wonder, will Netanyahu or Trump be smiling then? This will end up erasing all those gains of those so called victories in the Middle East that the west has made in literally one fell swoop, all because they simply couldn’t help themselves. Some one needs to be tried and executed for this utter failure in judgement also, I would love to see those western leaders who support this crap to be in permanent shock
100% they dont care about the state or the people.
There is unconfirmed account that the cluster type video thats going around was targeted towards Nevatim airbase, Havnt been able to find the video but saw this screenshot
You guys have to keep in mind that a large part of this war is psychological. Trump does not want to commit ground troops and if they can convince that IRGC all is lost, there could be potential mass defection/infighting so that you get a Syria like situation in Iran. The only way to survive is keep fighting. No turning back now.
They will when those nation suffers the consequence and the people look for someone to blame for this disaster. Still with that amount of munitions coming down on Israel and only right now, I seriously wonder what kind of damage will result from all this.
That is if the Iranian president decides to capitulate like he did last time, now that a lot of people in Iran are criticising him for being a bitch, he would do well to let the army wreck house and if Iran does real damage and the west cannot do much to mitigate it, moral is bound to improve. This isn’t going to end in twelve days this time, let’s see if the will of a con man can handle the will of a nation with a majority that is fanatical that has been wronged by the con man. Considering how he is trying to get negotiations going now just one day after the attack, we can easily see that he is fundamentally a bitch that hasn’t been punished enough
Hard to tell since Israelis military is enforcing censorship to a certain extent.
As some have already expressed, the death and the manner in which the now-deceased Khamenei passed will likely be viewed as that of a "martyr" according to Shia faith- especially since he was the highest religious and political figure in the world’s most populous Shia-majority country.
This perspective comes from an Iranian-American academic who has devoted her adult life to studying her ancestral homeland. Her PhD thesis focused on the Iranian Revolution of 1979, and her master’s thesis examined the 1953 coup. She does not, however, claim to know everything about Iran - unlike some here, and especially unlike the Pahlavi fanatics who position themselves as the sole legitimate voice of the Iranian diaspora.
We should treat this epochal action by Israel—with the full support and at the behest of the entire Western world, which we all know to be flaming hypocrites—with a great deal of rigorous analysis, and avoid pedestrian, jingoistic, and simplistic examinations.
To those who will always deem the U.S. and its allies’ actions as justifiable, regardless of reason, law, ethics, or morality, we should simply let it be and avoid engaging them in any “discussions.” They are not interested in genuine dialogue. For them, it is simply “might makes right” and “the West is great!”

There was an israeli official on their local tv which was saying that israel is focused on getting the iranian people out on the streets over the next few days, Even Lindsey was saying that their 'boots on the ground' are the iranian people. Psychological war has been on.
US directly isnt going suffer unless oil shock happens, as for israel they didnt do away with netanyaho during their worst crisis, they wont do now.
Although israel suffered negative immigration numbers in 2025 as nearly 70K people left, israel heavily relies on immigration from western countries, mainly Russia, france and USA.
sadly
All it really boils down to is the U.S. has hard power and is not afraid to use, or more appropriately in the case of the recent fiasco, squander it. It has very little to do with morality and everything to do with “might is right”. Everything makes a lot more sense if you analyze the situation through the lens of the average boomer in the twilight years of his life — they’d very much like to squander their retirement money gambling in Vegas or boozing than save them for the future generation. They are a very self-centered, short sighted bunch.
