Don’t overthink standard diplomatic speak.

People are still not used to it I guess.

However if you work in the government or hell just take a higher up position in a big company where politics are involved, you will learn quickly you have to say stuff the standard protocol way. At the very least its done to cover your ass so what you say cannot be used against you. I hated it and was never really good at it but I do understand why its done.

One of the reason Trump makes the establishment pissed off all the time is because he runs his mouth and as an outsider doesn't know you have to say thing the standard protocol way. Try to recall how Biden talks. Its exactly standard protocol stuff word for word.

Lol ya you did.
Iran was literally on the negotiating table and they were close to a deal.

Persian civilization originates from 1500BCE-1000BCE - Iranian civilization is 3500 years old at the maximum.

Indo-Iranians arrived around 2000 BC. Even before that Persia had settlements from elamites. Indus valley civilization is actually from Iranian migrants.

Iran is getting decimated; we may as well see how pre-industrial era Iran looked like.

It took around a million bombs to bonb ww2 germany and it was several times smaller than Iran. 300 planes from Israel and US is not gonna do even 1% of that.

Yes, they can target a few valuable spots but Iran can recover from it if their regime can survive.

Iran military capability is pretty much destroyed. that includes navy, airforce and ballistic missile facilities.

Now they only have a bunch of drones and troops with guns.

700 tomahawk equivalent of 7 hours of bomb tonnages on germany in 1944.

Require only 500 000 more tomahawk to cause similar damage like a single year of bombing in germany.



Just as reference, Iranian steel production and German steel production during 2nd ww been the same.

So, we can expect similar required damage to break the iranian economy like required during the 2nd WW to break the german .

Lol, do they?. Haven't they shipped most of their AD stuff to Ukraine?. Shit has become a good example of why Ukranian air defense stats were probably bs from the start, too

Imagine losing Bolton of all people.

Also, in the CENTCOM press release over the 3 F-15 they claim Iranian aircraft were airborne and attacking Kuwait, so they haven't really been able to achieve air supremacy over Iran if true

Yesterday Iran also claimed their aitstrike on Iraq, which i thought are indeed that - 90% chance just prop claims.
But at this point it is already 3rd indication of Iranian offensive fixed wing ops.

Keep in mind that WWII bombs were unguided though. You need a lot less to achieve the same effects today.

"Only 500 000"

Can't believe there's people here who can't even read. I fully agreed that this person is an old fool who held back Iran's nuclear program for decades so his death is beneficial for Iran's defense moving forward. So the question to you is, how is it a success for the US that it killed the old leadership, which was never going to build the nuke and eager to negotiate over it at every oppertunity with a new leadership that will not negotiate, will only hit back, and is no longer constrained by the Fatwa against nuclear weapons development?

Seige pointed out that in the Art of War, leaving a way out for a desperate and demoralized enemy avoids the situation of a battle with their backs to the water where their desperation and survival instinct causes them to turn the tide or inflict much more damage than they otherwise could. The US failed this lesson badly.

Hegseth's IQ is too low, didn't realize this cut and paste line can't be used here cus the US literally did start everything.

How could you tell exactly???

Though to be fair, this is true only against pinpoint identified targets.
Bomb carpet is indeed statistical, but as such it doesn't require to know exact location of exact critical target in manufacturing hall, for example.
