Iran-Israeli Conflict Thread

^
RE: Abraham Lincoln. What likely happened is an Iranian vessel approached the CBG (Carrier Battle Group) formation within its protective radius and an accompanying destroyer opened fire on it, followed by a Seahawk (likely from said destroyer) hitting it with an AGM. Nimitz carriers are themselves not equipped with a "5-inch gun;" the battle group escorts are supposed to do to job of screening anything coming close.

RE: the Stratotanker downing, likely one KC-135 was fueling off another and a boom mishap occurred, causing the tailstrike on the surviving (receiving) aircraft as it tried to break away hard from the other jet.

There's a lot of people making money through price gouging like down under, they don't mind this "war".

Iran is also getting stinking rich and Russia has now more than ever an energy stranglehold on the EU.

Yes Russia is making money now, Iran is very dependant on exports so by closing the straights for too long its gonna affect them economically, it could eventually cause an uprising amongst their people if the local economy gets really bad, they also have damaged infrastructure that needs repairs, its possible that Irans big customers might start looking elsewhere for their supplies and Iran could lose out big time

Iran X California

What I still can’t connect the dots on is this: Iran hasn’t attacked a single U.S. Navy ship that’s only 750 km from its coast, well within range of at least three anti-ship missiles.

The truth is that during few occasions, the US aircraft carrier was as close as 350 km to the Iranian coast.
At similar distances in Yemen, there were daily swarms, which even launched Sayyad and Quds Z-0 missiles with an 800 km range, and this has been confirmed in reports.

Iran probably didn’t because it knows that sinking an American warship would trigger massive public outrage in the U.S. and dramatically increase support for war.

If Iran didn’t dare attack ships just 750 km away, why on earth would it attack California, which is 12,000 km away?

In a war that the US is who is under insane pressure from Arab countries and the financial markets?

Amazing that California is mentioned out of all places in USA, thats a state thats very against Trump and would probably support Iran more than America, a strike in California would only make Liberals more mad at Trump and blame him and support Iran
 
Iranian President Pezeshkian just casually walking down the street during on International Jerusalem Day.




FM Abbas Araghchi also present at the marches. The entire leadership is out on the streets.

Three senior Iranian officials on Israel's hit list, Ali Larijani, Judiciary Chief, Mosen Ejei, and Police Chief, Commander Radan, were seen at marches in Tehran today. The marches carried on even as strikes were coming in.

Keep in mind that Iran has about 250 million people, just because there are a lot of protestors marching here doesn't mean all 250 million Iranians share this view, for all we know maybe 100 million Iranians are against this who knows

The entire Iranian leadership is strolling around at these marches, shaking hands with the public, with little in the way of visible security. It would be quite possible for all these anti-government protestors to take a crack at them. They are obviously not too concerned about it.


I would like to see any Western leadership do the same.

There are no soldiers on the ground and they surrounded by civilians, I highly doubt USA and Israel would have bombed a leader in broad daylight on camera around civilians during a protest march, it might have happened if there were boots on the ground maybe a surgical sniper but at the moment it seems like its just a missle exchange

A lady was killed by a bomb nearby. Also, didn't you comment on the double tap tomahawk on a all-girl school earlier?

I don't think you realize thats a regular occurrence in Gaza..Civilians are fair game to these monsters and I expect these types of bombings to continue while they whisper you excuses.

But I did not suggest that was the goal of the strikes landing nearby, just that they were happening. I was talking about the 100 million anti-government civilians that you mention. It is clear that they are not taking action against the Iranian leadership that are casually mingling with the public. This suggests a high confidence that the vast majority of the public are now supportive of the Islamic Republic's war for survival against the West.

Tailoring things to your narrative trying to justify favoring anyone who is against the USA is blinding you. These guys all look exactly the same as half the guys walking around Dearborn and Hilcroft ave.

Regardless of how they look, Iran is a country with rocket scientists and chess players (a game they've invented).
