2025 Israel - Iranian conflict

Their security is like a block of Swiss cheese. The Russians have the capabilities and the ability to adapt but the same can’t be said with Iran.
This has literally always been obvious to me but the only ones on "our side of the ledger" (as Pete would put it) with a shred of competence is China itself. We effectively stand alone. Fortunately, it also happens to be enough.
These effective strikes on C2 will likely greatly delay the Iranian response but hopefully it'll still be as heavy handed as can be when they finally pull themselves together and get around to it.
Not to many on all sides unfortunately. Both Russia and Iran were hyped up as giant threats to both Europe and Israel respectively. On the plus side though, its a good thing we learned this before getting into a global conflict with either of the two because if I had to rely on either of these “allies” in a war I’d rather just wave the white flag. It seems it’s always just been China after all for all this talk about an axis and BRICS.
They have to go all out now absolutely yeah but at this point I’m left wondering if they could even deal significant damage to Israel even if they empty their arsenal.
I hate to say this. But Israeli strike is very well telegraphed. There were reports of Israeli finalizing military preparations as well as US pulling out non essential personnel from its embassies in the region. Key personnel like top nuclear scientists should have been relocated as a precaution. This just shows the gross incompetence of Iranian state security.
