Allegedly, smoke rising from Tel Aviv airport.
The foreign minister is Abbas Araghchi
Larijani is the real figure with all the power.
Oh damn right, my bad.
Apparently spain has banned use of its airbases for US, and the tankers are leaving.
Many countries are falsely giving these statements, probably to distance themselves from being involved in a Western war of aggression, but in reality are part of it.
Spain didn't back out during the build up when most of the US assets were moved. In fact, it's Rota AfB was moving US assets as late as yesterday.
UK also said it won't participate and the same day we found RAF Typhoons in the Persian Gulf claiming to have shot down drones.
Saudis and Oman said the same and have the same story.
Spain isn't allowing use of their base. This is massive as when US tankers travel to Europe they now must go to Ramstein and fuel up there. This take sup much more fuel and limits the amount of actual fuel itself something like 20-30% which can be reflected in sorties espeically as US sorties now are further away.
Ramstein and other European airbases are used more than Rota (Spain) to move US assets to middleast. Rota is used primarily if moving assets to the Mediterranean at Sigonella (Sicily) and Chania/Akrotiri/Cyprus.
Seems they have resorted to the Gaza play book of lashing out against civilians and wanton war crimes.
NSFW(it might say not found, but the tweet is there, it just has a preview censor)
I suspected this Gaza-style violence would increase across the middleast because they got away with Gaza. It was a testing ground in Gaza on how intense the world would react, particularly, the Islamic world. The response was weak, emboldened the barbarians.
Like I said before, distance is US biggest enemy and Iran best air defense is territorial size and terrain. The US only have a less than 20 active stealth bombers and 40 or so B1Bs who are susceptible to be shot down, that sounds like a lot but have never been proven with conventional bombs for a country the size of Iran. Also Diego Garcia is not immune to iran attacks. Man I think most of the bombs are not even designed for the kind of underground facilities that the Iranians have built.
I think USAF/USN/Marines have more than enough firepower to go inside Irani airspace and cause significant damage but they are deliberately avoiding it due to the fear of being shot down. I think they fear even one aircraft shot down in enemy territory can alter the entire image of the war that they've created for domestic consumption.
I am surprised Iran hasnt hit Diego garcia, a saturation style attack on that small island would give some results
It's 4,000km away from Iran's coastline. Hard to target if Iran uses any type of DSMAC/TERCOM guidance due to huge swathes of ocean in between. Also, there is nobody there to record the damage so US can simply deny it ever happening.
Israel will be pleased with these results. Only 10 killed in Israel (it's probably more). Pulled the trigger but others will pay.
Saudi ARAMCO after attack,


oh then you will be surprised.
the US will 100% start a full ground invasion. probably a mix of US and Israeli soldiers.
Israel is the one calling the shots. America can only obey.
we already have Israeli and US politicians talking about the possibility of sending ground forces.
that is how they do it. in order to avoid alienating the US public against them. they fool them by saying "dont worry this is gonna be an easy quick operation" then it is "its gonna take few more weeks" , "we will need more ammo and bring more forces" then "we may need to have some boots on the ground" and so on.
Netenyahu has had a war b*ner ever since Hamas launched it's attack. Netenyahu wants to settle the score with absolutely everyone in the middle east. he will settle for nothing less than the complete destruction of Iran and full control of them. random protests guided by CIA agents was not able to achieve that. you have to establish control on the ground to do that.
obviously the US/Israel wont be sending like 200k soldiers straight away to Iran. instead at first they will send few thousands of special operations forces to establish a base in friendly areas such as the Kurdish areas. they would start recruiting PJAK & PKK militants to be used as cannon fodder. then once they expand control a little bit they will send in more forces possibly over the course of several weeks or even months. till the size of the ground force becomes much larger than the force deployed in previous wars like the Iraq or Afghanistan wars.
yes this will be a much bigger war than the Afghanistan and Iraq wars ever were.
ofcourse this is war so there is no such thing as a certain outcome. you dont know who will win and who will lose.
the US spent more than a decade occupying Afghanistan using local proxies against the Taliban and in the end we all saw the embarassing defeat and withdrawl of the US when they started running for their transport planes to flee the country.
now one might say "hey the US is not stupid enough to risk it like that right?"
the truth is Trump himself doesnt give a F about Iran or Khamenei or regime change. if it was for him this war would have not happened.
however American foreign policy starts making sense when you remember the name Epstein. thanks to Epstein Israel has fully finished the complete control of the US empire.
Exactly. There is no way US is backing out with just a few airstrikes. Israel has been begging for this war for near 40 years. It's not regime change or revenge. It is turning Iran into a Syria, a completely failed state.
I keep hearing people threatening American and Israeli boots on the ground in Iran, but I never hear anyone offer to suggestion how those boost are supposed to land in Iran.
During Desert Storm, they had a massive build up of ground forces in multiple neighbouring countries before commencing hostilities, where are the ground forces they are supposed to invade Iran with based right now and how are they and all their heavy equipment and logistics train planning to get to Iran?
Are they actually so delusional as to be planning an amphibious assault against Iran?
Afghan terrain is significantly worse than Iran's but NATO got in there anyways through Pakistan. US can go through Iraq. The Kurds also have major presence on the border.
The biggest blow to Iran with "boots on the ground" may be the capture of it's oil & gas producing regions which are situated on the southern Iraq border on a flat terrain.
We know for a fact if epistein was stuck in the UAE, the entire American military might would attempt to evacuate him.
Also patriot batteries are doing what they do best, and just knocked out the power to their own military base after flying into a substation in Jordan.
Also as expected, China did not supply the CM-302 to Iran, contrary to limited reports.
This is a open question, and I already posted why I thought so, but why do you guys think American patriot batteries keep missing and slamming into the ground, and why isnt there more footage of this happening in Ukraine?
You just need to look at the Patrior trials before it was put into production. The thing is a dud.
This last bit is something i havent seen anywhere.
Actually, it does make sense in the context of a shaky start to this war by Israel. Right now, the Arab world, including many of it's official leadership, are developing an anti-Western opinion. A false flag here would set things right, just like what the rabbi said (my last post): drop a bomb on al-Aqsa in Jerusalem, blame Iran for faulty missile guidance, and the whole of the Sunni world would turn against Iran.
