Iran-Israeli Conflict Thread

[Get2choppaaa]

Are the Marines going to tie themselves to the pipes and oil tanks there? They will sleep in barracks and hang out in exposed trenches. If they stay in the facilities office or control rooms, those will be hit for sure.

The Iranians have missiles with an accuracy of 2m-5m, and the flight time from the mountains above and behind the shore to the Kharg island would be under a minute.

21st century war, new realities, requires new tactics.

Ive not seen the battle plans here but @Helmsman nailed it... This isn't new.

Tactics Techniques and Procedures are updated, and new countermeasures must be implemented... But this would fall in the mission set of the Marine Corps.

Again, I don't see this as a likely course of action but I could be wrong.


I just found this.

This is a great breakdown of caps/lims of a MEU.

I deployed with the CO if this MEU when I was a 1stLt and he was the BLT XO in 2017.I was on the USS WASP and he was on the USS San Antonio. Small world. Major Niedz was a good dude. Didn't know he had a silver star.

From my understanding, Iran is at least in 6 years of draught and in 2025 had a water crisis where it was under 50 percent of it's dam reserves.

Pezeshkian not too long ago announced that Iran would relocate it's capital from Tehran to the Makran Coast in the south although this is not official yet. New capital would be near the Pakistani border and Strait of Hormuz. Iran's water crisis is getting worse, Tehran is overpopulated and polluted (in a valley) and the Mullahs in general are incapable. Pezeshkian has also threatened waterrationing if people don't cut back on consumption.

Ritter is a foreign agent and a convicted sex offender creep who was predicting Ukraine to be completely under Russian control for months.

Not surprised he would make bad calls here.

MacGregor 's better on general commentary but both seem to be pushing a narrative that the US is somehow on the losing side of this exchange. At least that's the prevailing narrative.

They are frankly all on a foreign payroll and are increasingly open about. On the day that Tucker Carlson declared that the CIA/DOJ has (finally) opened an investigation on him due to alleged contact with hostile foreign agents, which could possibly lead to an indictment under the Espionage Act, it's worthy to note that nearly all of the social media plugged here and elsewhere have ties to Beijing/Moscow.

They are desperate for the US to call off the Iran op because anyone not on the thirdworldist copium hookah can see where this is going, the US military is ahead of schedule hence the aggressive propaganda push trying to create domestic public outrage which would then translate into a change of heart within the Trump Administration. So far this isn't happening and judging by the course of events it isn't going to happen either - DC is steadily cruising towards achieving its strategic objectives and the deluge of 'Trump must quit' rhetorics from both alt and legacy media has decreased.

As for Ritter, he is part of a Moscow tied network called 'Veterans Intelligence Professionals for Sanity', just one of Russia's many tentacles into the English language alt media. These people parrot whatever their paymasters want them to say and their takes can only be used for deciding what the narrative-building is on the other side.

I'm not sure how accurate these projections are, but I thought this was an interesting read nonetheless.

Another one. Larry Johnson is one of the main cogs through which the Kremlin launders Russia friendly and beneficial talking points into the English language infosphere. Larry Johnson travels to Moscow several times a year, is connected to all the wrong people (Dugin+ Malofeev, the two key handlers of most of these shills), works for pro Russian think-tanks and propaganda channels, attends Russian state sponsored events where is in the company of Alex Jones, Hinckle, Galloway, Errol Musk, Max Blumenthal, Jeffrey Sachs, Dmitry Simes, Lavrov, Dugin and soon without a doubt that dumbass Chinese high school teacher. Johnson follows the Kremlin narrative on all main issues as it's tailored for the alt-Right demographic and he's the messenger.

Another one, Mike Peinovich is a have-been Kremlin influence op who had his shine during the 2015-2017 era. His projects TRS/NJP were funded by Charles Bausman, who is the workhorse of Malofeev. Bausman currently lives in Moscow. Notice that this audience is different from the one above, the Kremlin works several audiences at the same time including hardcore communists. Also notice that national socialism is prohibited in Russia but they have no issue using that demographic in the US and elsewhere. This list could span much longer but the point is clear.

Not a good sign that the Kurds will join the Americans after snitching on a group of French advisors.


“A senior French military official was killed in Iraqi Kurdistan by an Iranian drone two days ago. No details have been provided by the French as to why he was there in the first place, except saying it was "defensive".

According to the Iranians, Iraqi Kurdish authorities tipped off Tehran that the French were in Kurdistan seeking to arm and help Iranian Kurdish militias to attack Iran.

Tehran responded immediately with drone attacks that killed one and left several French soldiers wounded.

Clearly, all details are not known yet, but this is likely a significant development.”

I read elsewhere that this French soldier was part of a rescue op in Niger back in 2017 after that US SF team got overrun. So not just some rando military advisor, but a high speed dude. Lots of things going on in Iraq right now. The calculus of the whole region is being reset. Let's see if US troops on the ground will improve the situation...

Axios reposts that the Trump Administration has declined a Russian offer on the removal of the 460kg of 60 percent enriched uranium to Russia. Allegedly Putin made this offer and Trump wasn't interested, likely due to a belief within the Administration that the US doesn't need 'help' or negotiations, it would only lend leverage to Tehran on a matter which it can achieve on its own.

This comes after the Trump Administration's rejection of Oman's initiative on restarting peace negotiations.

Also of importance: the US is the world's main oil producer, Trump just took over the Venezuelan oil industry, shale oil changed the game and Washington benefits from a higher oil price.

Volatile and rising oil prices challenge the world economy, yet as a country the US will not suffer from 100 USD a barrel. Point in case.

"Put yourself in Trump's shoes for a second - you're unequivocally in the Epstein files, lyou are massively compromised by Mossad

Every day Bibi and his goons pressure you to attack Iran

When Lindsey Graham isnt in Israel, he's at the White House saying "you ought to strike now Mr President"

You have NO way out

Unless?

You call Putin - you tell him about Bibi's secret bunker just outside Tel Aviv

"Vlad, would you send these coordinates to the IRGC please?"

These slopaccounts (post you quoted) are totally out of control, it's just hype lies and no substance. The French have been in Iraq for years as part of the anti ISIS coalition, codename Operation Chammal. There is no 'snitching', it's a widely known fact, use Google Trita. Kurdistani in general are contented with the presence of Western forces because they don't trust the Arabs leading the central government (whether Sunni or Shia), and the Western bases are a hedge against any Baghdad moves. Not that the Kurds are any better bytheway, they are as divided (PUK-KDP) and cunning.

As for the US, they are increasingly targeting Iraqi militias tied to hip to Tehran. Yesterday the leaders of Asaib Al Haq and Kataib Hezbollah (Hezbollah Iraq) were targeted, not sure if successful.
