2025 Israel - Iranian conflict

One of the greatets boons of having Trump as an enemy is that he can just never keep his mouth shut.

Lol, these people seriously have an issue with owning up to the shit they do and stop being conniving cowards. I guess somebody can safely nuke Area 51, it isn't an attack on the US a nation, anyway.

I cut your legs... I cut your hands... but I didn't kill you, I didn't even attack your body, so you shouldn't retaliate me. That logic... you need to understand.

there isn't much the Iranian government can do to the US, the regime is too weak and corrupted, crippled by Israel practically on day 1, all empty big talks or propagandas to clam residents.

Iranian people would be in much better shape with a new regime.

Non-defense related, no-citation Israeli propaganda. Reported.

I have to say, Iranian military response to a bomber strike on their nuclear program on their own soil has been pretty muted. Sure they've continued to hit Tel Aviv, but nothing against any american asset, base, ships, etc. Very paper tiger behaviour for the supposed top independent military nation in the middle east.

No wonder these guys have no allies in the region..

Unlike the Russians and the west who invaded Iran and ripped territory from them, China was their historical ally and we never did anything to them but they hate us.

Like the Japanese, there are a lot of countries out there that won't respect you until you dominate them with force.

The Iranians can do serious damage asymmetrically to the US and the region in general. Also the Iranians are heavily radicalized, they may no like their government but they hate Israel and the US even more. In a invasion scenario, the only way to topple the regime, US would no only have to deal with a regular army who doesn't work like the Arabs but also heavily radicalize population and militias all over the Middle East. And to make things worst, I think the level of hatred for Israel in the entire Middle East has never been this high since the cold war. Trump is pretty much sitting in a powder keg

May be because US didn't really damage anything...

They are scared to retaliate against the US obviously. lol Just a few days ago they were saying if the US launches any sort of attack against Iran they will not hesitate to retaliate against US bases in the region. lol Now they are saying they will depend on “conditions of war” or whatever that means . lol This is after shouting death to America for decades now(I don’t know what’s their plan to bring death to America .lol).

Iran never chanted death to America. "Margbar Amerika" is more in line referring towards the hostile nature of US foreign policy and Iran's opposition towards it. Death to America is a horribly translated iteration of it in order for the manufacturing consent towards the wider American populace.

I believe this to be a left over scar from the Iran-Iraq War. While China did supply Iran to a certain extent, Iraq was also the biggest customer of Chinese equipment during that time to.

Though correct me if i'm wrong and sorry if this is quite off-topic wise. Not to mention the subsequent normalisation with Israel in the 90s.
