>This comes after Trump and Israeli officials claimed that Khamenei too has been killed.
At this point it would be just mighty odd to not say that he is dead if he is indeed dead. Iran loves their martyrs and getting killed in amerigolem strike would be like the most heroic, dignified and best possible end for a 87 year old man. He has apparently several successors named so his office or the functioning of the country shouldn't even be disrupted.

>>2710616US and Israel have excellent signal intelligence, but are really just second or third tier in standard interpersonal espionage. They really have hard time getting spooks or turncoats into these meetings and the rely on satellites for location and wiretapping somebody's phone remotely for gps and eavesdropping or smth. Still the best way to outsmart them is generally go low tech and drop all tech and meet in person. No audio, data or paper trail, total privacy.

Unless you have a relatively advanced domestic tech sector or reliable ally with direct supply of communication equipment
and on top of that a reliable and secure domestic communication infrastructure for government and military use, meeting in person behind closed doors, without phones in the room will always will be the most secure way of planning and discussing anything that is top secret.

There is one leftypoller who is very adamant on peddling anti-Iran news. He is most probably a leftcom since he pushes the "khamenei killing proles" meme (when most of the protesters are petit bourgeois). Even when Iran is being bombed by America, he focuses on shitting on Khamenei.
>>2711328 (me)
He is the OP of the other Iran thread. He was also the OP for iranian protest threads.
He creates a new thread well before the 600 post limit is reached so that he ensures each new thread opens with his shitty memes and pro-imperialist propaganda.
Considering how hyperfocused he is with Iran, he is probably an iranian diaspora.

Iran Thread #3 Repost:
Relative to revolutionary defeatism, if you are British or American, or any other European who's military in whatever Land, Air or Sea capacity, has been or will be hit - rejoice and celebrate, for it weakens the enemy that is your own nation, your own state.
Revolutionary Defeatism applies to the imperialist powers who are aggressing here, we should not be attacking the nation that is being aggressed upon by the imperialist powers!
Iran has its own interest to self-defence and it will and has done so, if you are for its destruction you are for the creation of a new neo-colony in the middle east whose resources will be extracted by the NATO Empire, whose labour will be exploited becoming a dependent people and dependent economy, and its trade routes secured. After tons of bombs, then the sweet profits from rebuilding and investment.
The weaker our enemy gets, being ones own imperialist nation, the more opportunity for agitation for socialists to go amongst the public and show the horror and terror towards others, the military blunder, the waste of resources and funds that could be spent on people and not war! THAT is true revolutionary defeatism and internationalism!
I would also add if you are against Iran, you are for Israel! And the capitulation of the Arabs to reconciling with Israel therefore supporting their OWN genocide and that of the Palestinians in the long run, with Greater Israel, rather than the Gulf states supporting the ideals of Pan-Arabism as outlined by Nasser!

Is the demonstration of democracy the constant state of war since the colonies declared independence? It's not the institution that's evil but bad actors within, so perhaps your perspective is more black and white than you think. Today the executive is no longer constrained by checks and balances so this is a democracy in name only. I don't have to live under the hardline replacement authoritarian in Iran, my concern is the abuses being carried out by this regime and its fealty to its lord, the State of Epstein.

>As the armies of Epstein martyr the 86-year-old Ali Khamenei, I am reminded of an interesting passage by the veteran CIA operator John Stockwell. He believed that western aggression would harm it in the long-run.
>Writing in the early 1980s, Stockwell was concerned with how Washington’s sponsorship of Angolan armed groups allied with apartheid south Africa would damage US interests:
>the Soviets’ national sport is chess and their foreign policy reflects an effort at long-range planning of coordinated, integrated moves, although they often play the game badly and are given to serious blunders. >The Chinese are notorious for planning their foreign policy carefully, with moves designed to reach fruition even years beyond the lifetimes of present leaders. By contrast, Ambassador Black observed, the United States is a poker player.>It looks the world over, picks up whatever cards it is dealt, and plays, raising the stakes as more cards are dealt, until the hand is won or lost. Then, after a drag on the cigarette and another sip of whiskey, it looks around for the next hand to be played.
>From a chess player’s point of view the intervention was a blunder. In July 1975, the Soviet-aligned MPLA was clearly winning, already controlling 12 of the 15 provinces, and was thought by several responsible American-officials and senators to be the best-qualified to run Angola; nor was it hostile to the United States. The CIA committed $31 million to opposing the MPLA victory, but six months later the MPLA had nevertheless decisively won, and 15,000 Cuban regular army troops were entrenched in Angola with the full sympathy of much of the Third World, and the support of several influential African chiefs of state who previously had been critical of any extra-continental intervention in African affairs. At the same time the United States was solidly discredited, having been exposed for covert military intervention in African affairs, having allied itself with South Africa, and having lost.
>That’s all very well and good, but Stockwell’s analysis was not quite justified by the rest of the 1980s. According to his own book, the CIA’s $40 million in support for anti-communist rebels forced the Soviets to spend $400 million supporting the MPLA. By the end of the 80s, pro-American forces had won out in Moscow. Gorbachev and his sidekicks often cited cases like Angola as examples of how draining an anti-NATO foreign policy was. And within a few years, the Soviet Union itself disintegrated.
>My point is that American aggression seems more effective than whatever long-term strategy Moscow or Beijing have. Poker beats chess.
>Some people like talking about some sort of masterful strategy being realized to undermine western hegemony. But what good is strategy if your opponent shoots you in the head? As Keynes said, in the long run we are all dead. The Tel Aviv-Washington axis seems fairly adept at destroying the long-term through immediate executions. Whatever discomfort the rest of the global majority/third world might experience seeing this blatant imperialism seems to be irrelevant.https://eventsinukraine.substack.com/p/contract-armies >>2711526>4 zionists dead>"mass casualty"hope they suffer some real mass casualty

Protests in front of the US Consulate in Pakistan: Many people killed.
According to Reuters and Associated Press, protesters gathered in front of the US Consulate in the city's port area, where they attacked police with stones and attempted to force their way around the consulate.
Police and paramilitary forces dispersed protesters using tear gas and force. Authorities said at least six people were killed and about a dozen injured in the clashes. The injured reportedly suffered from bleeding and beatings.
The death toll could rise to eight, according to hospital sources, as rescue teams have brought numerous bodies to hospitals.
The events began when a demonstration by a group of Shia Muslims protesting US and Israeli attacks on Iran got out of control. Security forces intervened as the protesters tried to approach the consulate gates.
Authorities stated that police and the government had regained control. Following the protests, streets in some parts of Karachi were temporarily closed in the early hours due to tensions.

UK says Iran nearly hit British troops, won't rule out participation in strikes
Hundreds of British troops were just 200 metres away from an Iranian missile attack in Bahrain, it has emerged.
Defence Secretary John Healey told the BBC on Sunday morning that UK military personnel and civilians were "at risk with a regime that is increasingly indiscriminate, widespread and uncontrolled in the attacks it is mounting".
The UK is not involved in the US-Israeli attacks on Iran that began on Saturday, but Healey declined to rule out British involvement in future strikes.
"Yesterday, we had 300 personnel on that Bahrain base that was attacked by Iranian missiles and drones, some of them within a few hundred yards of where they landed," he said.
“We had two missiles fired in the direction of Cyprus."
The British base in Cyprus, RAF Akrotiri, was used to launch surveillance flights over Gaza during Israel's genocide in the Palestinian enclave.
“We don’t believe they were targeted at Cyprus," Healey clarified, "but nevertheless, it’s an example of how there is a very real and rising threat from a regime that is lashing out widely across the region, and that requires us to act.”
He said missiles have not directly targeted British bases but labelled Iran a "very real and rising threat", adding Iranian missile commanders were "increasingly allowed to choose their own targets".
'Starmer must rule out UK involvement'
RAF Typhoons are understood to be participating in regional defence operations against Iranian strikes.
The UK reportedly shot down a missile heading towards a base housing its service personnel in Iraq on Saturday.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Saturday that British forces aimed "to protect our people, our interests, and our allies - as Britain has done before, in line with international law".
Green Party leader Zack Polanski told the BBC on Sunday morning he was worried the UK would be dragged into an "illegal war".
"Really concerned to hear the defence secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran," Polanski said.
"Iraq lessons must be learned. Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe.
"Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately."
Reform UK and the Conservative Party have called for Britain to allow the US to use British bases for attacks on Iran.
Most significant to the conflict is the joint UK-US military base on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean Chagos Archipelago. The base places US bomber aircraft within 5,300km of Iran, but the UK reportedly blocked the US from using it to attack Iran.
Iran's Shahed-136 kamikaze drones have the range to attack Diego Garcia, which houses around 4,000 people, mostly US military personnel and contractors.
The UK also has airbases in Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Cyprus.
If Iran attacks a British base, the Labour government would likely come under enormous domestic pressure from opposition parties to join in with strikes on Iran.
>>2711670I don't think the US would resort to nukes unless they want to see China/Russia enter the war. I know we call Putin a cuck but that seems like an actual red line.
>>2711664He wants so bad to drop a nuke
> Israel’s defense minister, Israel Katz, described the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as a “turning point,” saying Iran’s Supreme Leader was “the one who led the campaign of destruction against the state of Israel.” In remarks on Sunday after an operational consultation with Israel’s security chiefs, Katz added that the “operation will continue for as long as necessary.” Israel’s leaders and the military have said that one of the objectives is “to create the conditions” for a change of government in Iran.
four years later…
War in Iran: Conflict escalates, Ahmadinejad assassinated.The United States and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury on Saturday, February 28, beginning their bombing campaign against Iran.
<REVOLUTIONARY GUARDS LAUNCH NEW 'LARGE-SCALE' ATTACK.The Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced on Sunday the launch of the seventh and eighth waves of attacks as part of Operation True Promise 4. While no details were given about the targets, the attacks were described as "widespread."
<US AIRCRAFT CARRIER TARGETED.The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps has shared images and statements claiming to have targeted the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier amid rising tensions in the region. The aircraft carrier was deployed to the Middle East in January and is seen as a symbol of the military presence in the area.
However, neither Israel nor the US has officially confirmed this claim; instead, US forces announced that they shot down an Iranian-made drone that was approaching the ship.
The USS Abraham Lincoln remains part of the naval group in the region and is frequently mentioned in Iranian attack threats.
<THE DEATH TOLL AT THE TARGET SCHOOL HAS RISEN TO 148.The death toll from the attack on a girls' primary school in Minab, Hormozgan province in southern Iran, has risen to 148, with 95 people injured. Most of the injured are students.
The Israeli army, however, denied having any information about an attack on that location, stating that the operations were being conducted "with extreme precision."
<ISRAEL: 40 HIGH-RANKING COMMANDERS KILLEDThe Israeli army announced that 40 high-ranking Iranian military officials have been killed since Saturday. The statement also claimed that Iran's air defense systems in western and central regions have been largely "dismantled," paving the way for air superiority over Tehran.
Ahmadinejad was also killed.
Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was reportedly killed in an airstrike in Tehran. The news was announced by the Iran-based Ilna news agency.
While details regarding Ahmedinejad's death have not yet been released, official authorities have not provided a detailed explanation as to whether he was the intended target of the attack.
<MISSILE ATTACK ON ISRAEL: 9 DEADIn retaliatory attacks by Iran, at least nine people were killed when a building in central Israel collapsed after being hit by a direct missile. Twenty-eight people were injured, with two reported to be in critical condition.
<GULF COUNTRIES ARE THE TARGET.Regarding Iran's attacks on Gulf countries:
- In the United Arab Emirates, 3 people were killed and 58 injured. Authorities announced that 152 out of 165 ballistic missiles and 506 out of 541 drones were destroyed.
- One person died and 32 were injured in Kuwait .
Additionally, in Iraq's Diyala province, an airstrike on a base belonging to the pro-Iranian Hashd al-Shaabi militia killed four fighters and wounded eight others.
<GULF COUNTRIES HOLD EMERGENCY MEETING.The Gulf Cooperation Council (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Bahrain) foreign ministers decided to hold an online meeting to discuss a “joint response” to the Iranian attacks. Saudi Arabia also summoned Iran’s ambassador to Riyadh to the Foreign Ministry.
<OPEC+ HAS OPENED THE OIL VALVE.As the war disrupted energy markets, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and OPEC+ members increased their oil production quota for April by 206,000 barrels per day. This increase exceeded market expectations.
However, experts say this step may not be enough to prevent a price increase if oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz are disrupted.

Araghchi asserts no victory achievable for US-Israel
“This war cannot bring about any good result for the other side”, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, has told Al Jazeera.
“There is no victory in this war. They have not been able to achieve their targets, and they will not be able to achieve their targets in the coming days. As long as they continue, they cannot achieve anything,” Araghchi said.
“This reminds me of the previous war – the 12-day war last June – when they expected that in two or three days Iran would capitulate and surrender. But it took 12 days for them to understand that Iran was not surrendering, and that they had no option but to ask for an unconditional ceasefire.
“I do not see any difference between this time and the previous time. We will resist as long as it takes, and they will see the result,” Araghchi said.
Maersk suspends vessel transit through Strait of Hormuz
Maersk, the world’s largest container shipping company, says it will halt passage of cargo vessels through the Strait of Hormuz for “safety” reasons.
“We are suspending all vessel crossings in the Strait of Hormuz until further notice,” the Danish group said in an online advisory.
“The safety of our crews, vessels and customers’ cargo remains our key priority,” it said.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard earlier announced the Strait’s closure.
Despite its narrow width, the channel accommodates the world’s largest crude carriers. Major Middle Eastern oil and gas exporters rely on it to move supplies to international markets while importing nations depend on its uninterrupted operation.

Indian authorities crackdown on protests in Kashmir
Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in India-controlled Kashmir to protest and mourn the killing of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Demonstrations took place in Srinagar, Budgam, Baramulla, Bandipora, Pulwama and Kargil.
Protesters carried black flags and portraits of Khamenei, chanting anti-America and anti-Israel slogans.
In the days leading up to the strikes, Kashmiris had already reported a heightened security presence across the valley.
After news of the killing broke, authorities appeared braced for unrest, deploying forces and slowing the internet. There were several cases of Indian forces charging protesters, sources on the ground told MEE.
Kashmir is a majority Sunni region, but it is home to a large Shia population that make up around 10-15 percent of the population.
Support for Khamenei in Kashmir is across the board, with Mirwaiz Mohammad Umar Farooq of the Jamia Masjid issuing a condemnation of his killing and calling for a strike in Kashmir on Monday.
In Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, there were significant protests as well, with unconfirmed reports that a UN office was set alight.
The Jammu and Kashmir government in India-controlled Kashmir called for the closure of all educational institutions for the next two days.
Kashmir has a centuries-old cultural and linguistic connection with Iran, and was known as “Little Iran” as a result of the scale of influence.

I asked DeepSeek to do an analysis on questin tarantino casting himself in his own films and how often he says the n-word.
What is China's plan, exactly, when the US decides to undo all of their economic development of their allies by just couping the regimes so they become US vassals?
>>2711847Do nothing.
China lacks initiative.
They let the bug memes get to their head.
>>2711847cut a deal where they get Taiwan but have to pay dues to the head of the mafia
>>2711733I have reason to believe these numbers are much higher.
MSC shipping company orders vessels in Gulf to ‘safe shelter’
MSC, the global shipping company, says it told its vessels in the Gulf to seek shelter and suspended all bookings for worldwide cargo to the Middle East.
“As a precautionary measure, MSC has instructed all vessels currently operating in the Gulf region, as well as those en route to the area, to proceed to designated safe shelter areas until further notice,” it said in a statement.
MSC said its top priority was the safety of its crews.
“The company continues to closely monitor developments and is working with relevant authorities to ensure the safety of its operations. Middle East bookings will resume as soon as the security situation improves,” it said.
“Customers will be informed as soon as further details become available regarding potential alternative ports where cargo may be discharged, should the situation require additional operational adjustments.”
Saudi Arabia intercepts missile attacks on airport, military base
Saudi Arabia says it intercepted Iranian missiles targeting Riyadh’s international airport and the Prince Sultan Airbase that houses US military personnel.
“Air defences successfully intercepted Iranian missiles near Riyadh airport and Prince Sultan Airbase on Sunday afternoon,” an unidentified source, requesting anonymity to discuss sensitive matters, told AFP news agency.
The interception did not disrupt navigation or cause any human or material losses. An eyewitness near the airport said they “saw and heard the air defence intercept the missile in the sky”.
Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, and Manama airports have also been targeted by Iranian attacks with authorities reporting one death in the Emirati capital in the “incident” at the facility.
Saudi Arabia houses US bases and personnel though bigger facilities are located in Bahrain and Qatar.
>>2711782Are they retarded? Did they really think killing their head of state would make them more inclined to negotiate?
>>2711864Based Iranians saving western instagram influencers from being exploited and prostituted by oil sheikhs
>>2711847There isn’t a really a plan, they’re only watching and reacting carefully. America has effectively chosen to lobotomize itself fully and is now going on a crazed bender, which makes it hard to predict.
>>2711864It’s funny how this is all western chauvinist memes, every time
>>2711864They're also hitting Israel and US bases. The goal of hitting Dubai is to make cooperation with the US more trouble than its worth for the UAE. It doesn't take much ordinance to destroy the tourism industry which is such a big part of their economy.
>>2711872It's that but also the US has bases in Dubai and Qatar and Jordan and Saudi Arabia with expensive radar systems that are just sitting out in the open to protect Israel. Hitting the buffer countries to take out US air defenses just makes hitting Israel easier.
Only now finding about the fact that 80% of Bahrain is Shia and is ruled by an oppressive Sunni Monarchy.
>>2711875It'd be funny if this war led to regime change in Bahrain but the Islamic Republic stayed intact.
>>2711875Isn’t Bahrain basically just a foreign military base? Same as Kuwait
>>2711881
I wonder what a carrier getting struck would do to the American psyche. They've operated like they're invincible and untouchable for decades.
>>2711782NANI! Bibi-san promised they would negotiate when weakened? now what!?
>>2711892If a carrier was struck Chinese satellites would be broadcasting images all over the internet. I'll believe it when I see it.
>>2711895why would China post that stuff publicly?
>>2711875Yes I tried explaining this the other day and got kicked for it.
Bahrain is basically an apartheid state where a small super rich Sunni Arab minority controls everything and has all the power and money, and the Shia Arab majority are totally disenfranchised and denied any influence or say.
There aren't even enough Sunnis for them to have their own loyal army so they import Sunnis from abroad to defend the regime.
And of course like any gulf state there's an Indian/African/Filipino slave caste, albeit somewhat less extreme in scale than Qatar or the UAE given the size of Bahrain and the number of expendable Shia locals.
And there's the white expats and porta potty models too…
>>2711877I'm hearing that protesters are tearing apart a lot of state infrastructure in Gilgit/Baltistan in Pakistan which is almost all Shia. These people have been very pro Pakistan so far. Shit is about to go down very hard in every single place where Shias live.
>>2711899Dno why mocked autocorrected to kicked. Dumb ass mobile posting.
>>2711897The same reason they're posting satellite images of US jets on Saudi bases? It embarrasses America.
>>2711847Are they helping at all? Will they eventually step up support if the Iranian regime proves stable enough to keep fighting back?
>>2711904hiding in his bunker under berlin
>>2711885>>2711892>>2711881the us won't confirm any of the US carriers being hit. despite everything in the ME is burning through US drones and cruise missiles.
>>2711797>(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS MILDLY FUNNY BUT MISINFORMATIVE POST)LMAAOOOOOO
>>2711708>>2711678So, the US killed Khamenei. To who are they going to send the bill? (vidrel)
>>2711905Bro what part of submersible carrier prototype do you leftchuds don't understand. Those floating bodies? decoys. Floating body parts? Epstein files.
>>2711905They're immediately damage controlling because striking one of these would be like striking god to many Americans after decades of mythologizing them. That's why I think when it happens we will know immediately.
>>2711895probably incredibly minor damage maybe? If they put a hole in the sewage system maybe it even improved operations?
>>2711907
>>????
its called dialectics, ultra
>>2711899There was a mass rebellion there during Arab Spring too which had to be crushed with Saudi(i.e. American) help. Huge potential there
>>2711664>thank you for your attention to this matterI'm so fucking sick of this phrase it's not even funny
>>2711847How is bombing a bunch of countries each time they get uppity even a sustainable plan, like medium term lol
>>2711922Well for one, they have the bombs/missiles and the planes and the drones to be able to do it. It's obviously not going to create pro west govts in the bombed countries but it'll hurt them enough to cripple their ability to fight
>>2711864i wish iran was actually hitting dubai
>>2711929Rumor on the grapevine is that the US is unable to sustain anything past a week long bombing campaign, they're over-exerting themselves on a single country and they want to extend this blitzkrieg diplomacy to every country on China's sphere of influence? lol
>>2711733Operation Epstein Fury first US casualties?
They gave their lives in service to greater epstein. Lindsey Graham is proud of your service.

Khamenei’s death a ‘step forward’, says nephew
The death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei offers hope to the country, says his nephew, a France-based doctor opposed to the Islamic Republic.
“Like most Iranians, I am happy,” Mahmoud Moradkhani, the son of one of Khamenei’s sisters, said by telephone from his home in northern France.
“I am very happy about the death of Ali Khamenei. I think it’s a step forward, a hope,” AFP news agency quoted him as saying.
“War and military interventions slow down a bit political process, which is a bit regrettable, but maybe we had to go through this step,” said Moradkhani.
He predicted the regime is unlikely to survive Khamenei’s killing. “The regime’s internal rivalries are such and it won’t be able to resist them, it’ll have to disappear and give the power to the people.”
>>2711954They're laughing because now they can file a VA claim for PTSD and live on disability paychecks for life.
>>2711903They've been supplying Iran with intelligence which is actually pretty significant assistance. The US SIGINT capabilities are one of its main advantages, and China (very much to its credit) is helping to offset that.
>>2711922It's absolutely sustainable if they succeed in changing the governments.
>>2711960>They've been supplying Iran with intelligenceproof?
>>2711560This guy sounds like Yogi Bear with a scratchy throat getting excited over a full picnic basket.
>>2711928so they evacuated all personnel and equipment before the missile arrived i'm guessing
>>2711960Big if, they got oil concessions on venezuela that they were going to get with Maduro so on those grounds they weren't even successful, it's a region within the US geographic sphere and they actually had to put people on the ground for that one, we don't even have the full account of what happened
>>2711970yeah, and americans had no casualties, kidnapped maduro and installed their fucking puppet. you know america now controls all of venezuela's oil sales and money?
let us stop the coping about venezuela somehow still being independent.
>>2711970>Big if, they got oil concessions on venezuela that they were going to get with MaduroI don't think that's true. Rodriguez has opened up the oil sector to large scale privatization, softened Venezuela's diplomatic stand, etc. If Venezuela had been this cooperative before then the country wouldn't have been a target in the first place.
>>2711974>and americans had no casualtiesThis is a lie btw
Whats all this fuzz about an US carrier getting hit? Is it true? I want to believe.
>>2711956we've also got this. But I just don't see how the situation has changed. Trump probably feels like he has proven himself as a strongman but Israel still does not want a lifting of sanctions. A new supreme leader must be selected and the pro nukes faction has probably gained support.
>>2711979many russian news outlets are saying this
>Iranian foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, told Al Jazeera that the reason Iranian drones started hitting hotels and apartment buildings in Bahrain, Qatar and the UAE was because the U.S. didn't airlift its troops from the Gulf Countries, it booked rooms instead in nearby hotels.
>The U.S. soldiers killed yesterday or today were likely in one of the hotels/apartment buildings in the Gulf Countries. CENTCOM had them retreat from the bases which had fortified air raid shelters and air defense systems and put them into unprotected hotels.
The Americans are such fucking cheapskates lol
>>2711985We can't waste money on soldiers when there is innocent Israelis that must be protected!
>>2711963>This guy sounds like Yogi Bear with a scratchy throat getting excited over a full picnic basket.LMAO
>>2711962you cant get "proof", neither iran nor china will confirm such a thing obviously, but there was a news posted that their satellites were in position to watch US and israeli bases and ships
Anyone have footage of rocket impacts in Israel or UAE? I need to decompress
>>2711962I texted my uncle at MSS but he left me on read.
>>2711997New post or old one from last war?
>>2711974>the number 2 of the govt they attacked is "a puppet"idiot. While they obviously conceded some things to relieve pressure (like selling all their oil to the US and not to their previous partners), the chavists are still in power and have no other chains than the threat of retaliation if they dont comply. They are clearly bidding their time, and if they get sanction relief and investment in the meantime, all the better.
US State Department authorises Qatar departures
The US State Department has authorised the departure of non-emergency government personnel and their family members from Qatar because of safety risks.
The US currently has a Level 3 travel advisory for Qatar – with citizens asked to reconsider travel to the Gulf state.
Iran has fired dozens of missiles at Qatar following the joint US-Israel strikes on Saturday.
Iran warns of ‘heavy consequences’ for US and Israel
The Iranian army announced it downed 10 advanced drones across the country today, bringing the total number of drones shot down so far to 22. Most of them, according to Iranian officials, were Hermes drones allegedly belonging to Israeli and American forces.
Iranian authorities are making it clear this is a moment of full-scale resistance. They say they intend to strike back as forcefully as possible, and insist they have not yet deployed their most powerful military capabilities, including some of their advanced missile systems.
Officials are warning that both the United States and Israel will pay what they describe as “a heavy price” in the days ahead.
They are also framing this conflict as unlike previous confrontations. Iranian leaders are characterising it as an existential war – one in which, they say, there will be no retreat, no compromise, and no surrender until Iran has demonstrated its ability to defend itself and preserve what it calls its dignity and independence.
>>2711997people really ephasize that. but iran is of course facing the same problem
>>2711982They could be hiding their real losses.
>>2712003fucking morons. why are they still holding back? fire everything.
>>2711982They always lowball their numbres to save face.
Shitrael's death to injury ratio is not even plausible.
>>2711982shooting at primary schools in the opening salvo certainly help the high score
>>2712009Get better sources
>>2712004not really, its a lot easier and cheaper to have lotta missiles and drones than anti air missiles, and they stockpiles them since a long time for this eventuality while the US is always busy shooting at something
>>2712001Idk but it is true regardless, people were pointing out in the runup that the US could only really sustain about a week of sustained strikes before having to pause
Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps claims attacks on US, UK tankers
A statement by the IRGC says three US and British oil tankers have been hit by missiles in the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.
It also claimed that the tankers were on fire after the strikes.
>>2712015yeah, i don't know. i guess that possible but since i don't have numbers tbqh to me it's more reasonable that both sides are suffering that problem
>>2712017>statement>claimedCAN A UYGHA GET SOME FOOTAGE?
>>2712020>War Fronts Witness on Telegram.comAnon, this is deeply unserious, at least just post direct from the sources.
>>2712010It's crazy how every country and leader just wants to be America's friend and all we do is shit on them.
>>2712026what's wrong with it
>>2712028>what's wrong with itTwitter/Telegram OSINT freaks will only tell you the truth in order to increase trust and lie to you later.
Do you not remember Oct7 the beginning weeks of Gaza bombing?
>>2712004Once Iran depletes its missile stock it’ll have caused significant damage and destroyed key economic checkpoints to the global economy. The future regime that takes charge will be far more anti-US and Israel. America doesn’t have the political will for an occupation and Israel doesn’t have the manpower. My prediction this going to end in a very unsatisfactory ceasefire once all sides exhaust themselves and all Israel and the U.S will have to show for it is millions more radicalized enemies, a crippled global economy and rapidly escalating political instability. Iran will likely recover and immediately start rebuilding military capabilities, they may even begin pursuing a nuke.
All this is insanity will have achieved the opposite desired results, Iran has always been more than willing to negotiate with the U.S and acquiesce to the majority of their demands. The door for negotiations is going to be closed for decades if it ever becomes possible.
>>2712030>le pakis!!!!!At least try to act normal in polite company.
/pol/ack freak.
>>2712022I remember when I was a kid this guy was always portrayed on news as Satan incarnate
>>2712037Same. he was hitler because he had a holocaust conference or something.
Iran attacks Salam base in UAE
The UAE Ministry of Defense announced that Iran attacked the Salam airbase in Abu Dhabi , resulting in a fire.
The ministry stated that " Today, two Iranian drones bombed a warehouse at the Salam base in Bahrain in Abu Dhabi, resulting in a fire in two crates of stored materials. Specialist teams attempted to control the fire."
The ministry strongly condemned the attack, stating that it was a violation of national sovereignty and international law and that it had the right to respond.
>>2712007you forget that Israel counts “psychological casualties” (people getting scared) alongside actual injured
>>2712031I remember scot Ritter proudly say he knew Hamas battle plans were to build a bridgehead across central Israel to link up to the West Bank.
>>2712035I think this yeah. It's the same as last June Israel will not accept a deal and their goal is to utterly destroy Iran and massacre everyone in a Syria or Iraq-tier civil war. Trump, at least so far, is not willing to actually invade Iran. The Islamic Republic is too stable and sanction regimes and foreign attacks in fact consolidate it.
>>2712051Damn, wish i was that retarded. The Disability cheques must be top tier.
>>2712042They had the belt and road initiative 1000 years ago? Whats taking so long
>>2712042Hopefully, the good cop/bad cop strategy the American bourgeoisie use on the it’s on populace is also used as a geopolitical tool. There isn’t going to be another Obama that can swoop in to clean up the U.S image. It’s now obvious that any future democrat president(which the ruling class seems to be against, favoring a full fascist one party state. So there may not even be one) would at best just dial things down to low-intensity fuckery for at best 4 to 8 years and then another bloodthirsty republican will come in.
Once Hezbollah enters the conflict it's over. They're the most elite fighting force in the world
At least seven dead at pro-Iran protest in northern Pakistan city
At least seven people have been killed at pro-Iran demonstrations in the northern Pakistani city of Gilgit.
Rescue official Zaheer Shah said many others have been injured.
At least nine other people were killed during an earlier protest at the US consulate in the Pakistani megacity of Karachi, according to a hospital casualty toll.
So are things fizzling out?
>>2711997Fucking how. The US has a one TRILLION dollar yearly defense budget, has cut a shit ton of military aid to Ukraine, and yet.. only a few days of stockpiles? Is the US sending literally everything they make to Israel?
>>2712068Pentagon is incredibly corrupt and basically lights that money on fire.
>>2712067So far it seems like the opposite. There have been some indications that both sides are willing to negotiate, but it's all just rumors atm. Meanwhile the scale of the fighting has increased.
So are China and Russia going to help Iran at all or
>>2712067it seems the USA wants to put a stop to it
>>2712041Do these gulf states have any real military forces or is it entirely outsourced to America?
>>2712061The old liberal international law order is dead. We’re transitioning into a new phase. A bit like how early imperialism was Christian, and a baptised savage could become saved. But later imperialism moved to scientific racism, and exterminated the brutes.
>>2712081The former, equipped with Western kit from selling their oil
>>2712081>Do these gulf states have any real military forces or is it entirely outsourced to America?Yes, but built for internal repression.
>>2712076Yeah they're gonna swoop in with spiderman and the rest of the avengers
>>2712009Iranian media says he's alive
>>2712076just unconfirmed reports that china has been sharing satellite data for targeting
>>2712081I know from experience training them that the Saudi Arabian Army is literal dogshit. Only Kuwait has an army worth a shit and its tiny.
>>2712081Short answer: no. Yeah basically all outsourced to America and the rest of their forces are just Pakistani mercs because they can't trust their own people. Their airforce I have heard from the US pilots who train them are utter dogshit because you have to be a prince to be able to become a pilot and they treat being the jets like the buggatis they spin out into a ditch in the desert somewhere.
>>2712091Lol you posted as I was typing. Lol at you being one of the ones training them and using the exact same adjective: dogshit.
>>2712091>>2712092what about the UAE fighting in Yemen? or was that all just Pakistani?
Notice how labour-aristocrats emerge from their rat cages and start to shill their angles.
Hezbollah will win
>>2712076Russia provided starlink jammers
China provides intelligence
Both provide economic help and arms
What do you expect them to do to make it uncucked right now?
>>2712094Pakistan is decent considering they are in a cold war with India that occasionally turns hot in Kashmir. But UAE I don't know about. I assume its equivalent of SA. The problem with the gulf armies is the officers, all of them are nepo baby 2nd sons that for whatever reason couldn't hack it in finance and other forms of usury
>>2711931Literally flew 2 days ago above it, was also in abu Dhabi airport. surreal.
>>2712102its the british model but somehow worse.
Extremely top-heavy.
>>2712102I think that anon was asking how many of their troops are Pakistani mercs.
So who were you training?
>>2712106Anyways, google says 40% mercs
>>2712081Typically they have small but very advanced armies and especially air forces.
What are Hamas doing to support Iran?
>>2712068It’s because of massive corruption. They pay like $5k per toilet seat and $800 per screw. More money doesn’t automatically equal better military. Especially if it’s mostly wasted due to corruption, the U.S military is mostly costing off Cold War stock piles and infrastructure. The handful of actually useful modern weapons cost hundreds of millions and is slow to replace.
>>2712106in 2012 I was training Saudi Troops how to do Mechanized warfare tactics because Obama had just sold them a bunch of stuff. They didn't understand basic shit like the trigger on the rifle will fire it. More than once there was a close call of friendly fire. I mean they were blanks for training but as Hollywood has discovered blanks can still kill someone
>>2712116needless to say I am not surprised the Houthis have kicked their ass, it really is like sending the sheep to go fight the wolves. If I knew then what I know now, I would have trained them wrong as a joke, problem is that might have actually made them decent. Because they couldn't be much worse than they were then.
>>2712114Hamas? This is 2026, Anon. There is no more Hamas.
>>2712123>>2712116Lmao. I am surprised they can even be trained to land jets.
Eleven remain missing in Iranian missile strike on Beit Shemesh: Israeli police
Police say 11 people are currently listed as unaccounted for, as search and rescue teams continue looking for survivors in the attack in Beit Shemesh, near West Jerusalem, according to the police quoted by the Israeli media.
As we previously reported, nine people were confirmed killed in the missile strike.
Fifty-one people were wounded in the attack, police said.
Three US soldiers were killed in attack in Kuwait: Report
The attack that killed three US soldiers occurred in Kuwait, NBC News reported, citing US officials.
US Central Command confirmed on Sunday that three service members died and five others sustained serious injuries.
Officials have not yet released further details about the circumstances of the attack.
Iran state TV says it was targeted by strikes
Iranian state television said it has been targeted by strikes after a series of powerful blasts rattled Tehran, though it was not knocked off the air.
“The technical team is assessing the damage,” said the broadcaster, which was also targeted during the US-Israel 12-day war on Iran in June.
>>2712130only 3? iran is wasting missiles
>>2712118>>2712121loli gear?
Pedo mantis?
Comet pizza basement?
>>2712136They'll be hitting important targets anon, not going for kills.
>>2712116Why? How can they be this retarded?
>>2711982if this is true, over half the deaths are those poor girls :(
>>2712142Idk about their enlisted guys but their officer corps never made the leap out of the middle ages that Europe did with the Napoleonic Wars. Appointments are still based on birth and status rather than merit, so their army is led by inept fourth cousins and brothers in law of princes like a bunch of hapless Austrians marching into the meat grinder at Austerlitz.
>>2711982>believing propagandaBurgers do this since Vietnam, from what we've seen their toll now must be close to Iran's at least.
Israel's might be true because they're being shielded from all directions, even at expense of american bases and personnel.
>>2712094they were emirati advisors bossing stc troops around
>>2712140important targets like Bahraini hotels?
>>2711987CIA LLM Slop Misinfo account. Eventually the USA's entire budget will be spent on bad obvious lies
>>2712091>I know from experience training them what!?
Have even a Dozen imperialists been yeeted? I keep seeing the same 5 or 6 buildings bit by Iranians. I thought a single bomb could level a city block?
Is Iran a paper tiger? Seems like they are getting ratio'd, hard
>>2712175Hasbara post. They've hit a wide range of targets all across the entire network of US regional allies. Israel is now admitting that missiles are making it through their defences.
>>2712177they should just do it ironically
>>2712177
>Implying Iran ever cared about having a strong navyIran doesn't need a navy to project naval strength, since its primary leverage comes from being right next to the gulf of Hormuz. All they need to do is throw shahed drones at whoever passes by in order to de facto place the whole thing on lock.
The only benefit naval operations would give is mining the strait, but missiles and drones would have the same effect
>>2712179Then can someone please ducking post a video that shows actual damage to empire instead these bigfoot-tier videos of smoke billowing in the distance
>>2712182don't they use them for reconnaissance and to supply the houthis?
>>2712183Israel passed a law banning publication of any damage from Iranian strikes. You understand that governments try to control the flow of information in wars yes?
>>2712186John Bolton is a MEK stooge.
>>2712182>Our navy got blown up… and here's why it's a GOOD THING>>2712186Kabuki theatre
>>2712187its so stupid how much of pussies imperialists are and how big of egos they have that they don't even want you to see damage done to them even if its minimal compared to the damage they deal. Like the UAE is flooding X with bots to try and hide footage of damage
>>2712191It's not that it's a good thing, just that it won't make much difference.
>>2711571read the article and it was interesting.
i didnt know substack (have never used it before) had such good writings.
>>2712162>important targets like Bahraini hotels?Full of the very people organising this war in the region, yes.
Ukraine had shit all for a navy and managed to fuck up Russia's ship with missiles.And ,though they denied it, Ukraine also managed to release a bunch of mines.
Both things that Iran has, so far, failed to do
>>2712194>Decentralized mosaic defenseThat's for invasions though.
>>2712200Odds of a Benghazi-tier attack on a U.S. Embassy?
>>2712201Probably pretty high in Iraq and maybe Lebanon I'd say.
>>2712186bolton the anti-campist…
>>2712201>Odds of something good happeningas a rule of thumb its always 0%
>>2712205Hes paid to but hes right tho
>>2712205He's probably being lobbied by MEK or some other Iranian gusano faction.
>>2712210It does piss me off that nepocuck shah is sitting around having people die and the end he gets a crown for other people risking it.
>>2712201Maybe. A threat to the embassy in Iraq would be obviously anticipated I would expect, especially if they knew Israel was going for Khamenei? Unless they somehow thought he was massively unpopular at this point with Shia after the protest response?

UAE closes stock markets on Monday and Tuesday
The United Arab Emirates will keep its stock markets closed on Monday and Tuesday due to the ongoing fallout from Iranian missile strikes on the country.
The UAE Capital Markets Authority said the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange and Dubai Financial Market would remain shut on March 2 and March 3.
“The Authority will continue to monitor developments in the region and assess the situation on an ongoing basis, taking any further measures as necessary,” it said in a statement.
The UAE’s two exchanges are amongst the top five biggest stock markets in the Middle East and home to some of the region’s most valuable listed companies.
Gulf markets that did open on Sunday saw sharp declines. Saudi Arabia’s benchmark index fell more than 4% at the open, Oman dropped 3% and Egypt’s main index shed 5.44%, while Kuwait suspended trading entirely.

According to reports, between 19:30 and 20:10, the Komele Party headquarters in Zirguêzele village, Tancero district of Silêmanî, was targeted with missiles and kamikaze drones.
One person was injured in the attacks, and significant property damage was reported.
Additionally, the Zeviye Spî Camp of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan was also targeted by kamikaze drones; however, it was reported that they were destroyed before reaching their target.
Again, the headquarters of the Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK) in the town of Pirdê was also targeted with missiles. It was stated that this missile was also destroyed before reaching its target.
In the town of Surdash, a kamikaze drone aimed at the Komel Party camp was destroyed in mid-air.
>>2712243Not sure if cope…
>>2712214I keep hearing that this was against the advice of Pentagon Generals so I'm wondering if Embassies even got a heads up. Incompetence is the name of the game with this admin.
>>2712212The flag makes it look like he's celebrating the dead troops.
>>2712248kurds are probably among the most willing zionist infiltrators so

>>2712243they are not going to kill their own assets. not until the job it done anyway.
>>2712255lmao they're micro-parties, anon. imagine being bombed by amerikkka and the zionist entity but 'fuggen gurds!!!1' still being your main concern. Absolute state.

>see that the US sank nine Iranian ships
>well that's bad but it could be worse
>learn that was a third of their entire navy
Genuinely what the fuck are other countries doing, why is the US the only country with a blue water navy
>>2712272thought this was mewgenics
>Reuters: Israel's present focus in its military operations in Iran is to undermine the Iranian regime to the point of toppling it, an Israeli official said on Sunday, adding that Israel "is acting in its own ways" to get Iranians to take to the streets.
>The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, did not elaborate on what tactics Israel might be using to encourage "Iranians to protest against the regime."
>>2712261Apparently he is descended from Muhammed though, no?
>>2712264Almost as if Iran was ran by incompetent islamists with bronze age warlord mentality…
There has to be at least ONE competent realpolitik and anti-imperialist official in the entire government.
What’s stopping Hezbollah from invading Israel?
>>2712248Legitimate target imo. If regime change is to be successful it will depend a lot on internal opposition, and Iranian Kurds are probably the most well organized, committed, and equipped opposition element.
best part of this SMO is now midterms can be canceled when it inevitably goes south
>>2712278The US and Israel will go trough everyone until only the smart ones survive, imperial selection, this is actually good for iran
>>2712280The fact that their armed forces are in total shambles.
>>2712287>Bro still thinks there will be elections in AmeriKKKaSorry bro but you're gonna live under the 1000 year long Burgerreich from now on.
>>2712290> until only the smart ones survivehow can you outsmart missiles and widespread satellite surveillance and infiltration
>>2712283>Legitimate target imo. If regime change is to be successful it will depend a lot on internal opposition, and Iranian Kurds are probably the most well organized, committed, and equipped opposition element.Do you really think so? PUK, Komele, etc. to me seem like micro-parties for nostalgic boomers in Iraq. If you had said the Baloch orgs i might agree.
So what is the final verdict on Oct 7th and Sinwar? Mad Genius or just a blunder?
>>2712279India never wastes an opportunity to cuck out and embarass itself.
>>2712298100% a success but there are many who are blind to that fact and portray israel as much stronger than it really is
Wake up babe, new confirmed direct hit in Tel Aviv.
>>2712289I immediately saw this and thought "man i should post this in the iran thread to make fun of the people still holding out hope" but we're already here. How could you do this to me
>>2712298Complete blunder. Even if Iran survives the current conflict thats all it will do. Israel is still in a much stronger position than they were before October 7th. The defeat of Syria more than makes up for any setbacks they've had, and this was a direct consequence of the fighting in Gaza and Lebanon.
>>2712298Genius, he forced everyone back to table whether it flips from war and peace, the situation of the Arab nations is up in the air. And now Palestine in the hearts of minds of every human.
>>2712303>people still holding out hopewhich side lol
>>2712298It was 100% allowed to happen by Israeli intelligence in order to greatly accelerate the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
It at least turned worldwide public opinion against Israel and Zionism but without anyone outside of Hamas and the Houthis actually opposing them in any meaningful way, the genocide continues to this day.
>>2712306It really isn't. None of these countries care about their citizen's public opinion that much. They'll just wait until people stop caring and then resume normalization with Israel. The fact that Iran has struck these countries will probably accelerate that process too. The reason why the US and Israel feel bold enough to attack Iran is because the Axis of Resistance has been practically destroyed. Hezbollah was the gun to Israel's head, but they've been badly mauled and the loss of Syria means that they can't be resupplied or rebuild nearly as easily.
>>2712308It's kind of weird knowing that I will live to see the last Gazans die all because Iran was dumb enough to fund the attack and Israel was smart enough to let it happen. History is weird like that.
>>2712298What other alternative did they have? I was one of the few even here that had been following all the protests they were doing for years before that and all the kids getting leg statused by Israeli snipers.
Better to die on your feet than to live on your stumps.
https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/gaza-reconstructing-lives-after-amputations>Amro, Mohamad, and Mahmoud are among the 36,000 people who were injured during the “Great March of Return” protests. These demonstrations were held near the security fence between Gaza and Israel every Friday between March 30, 2018 and December 2019, to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the 1948 Palestinian exodus, an event known to Palestinians as the “Naqba.” >>2712304So basically Muhammad was a cracker and Jesus was black? funny…
>>2712256So why is he a legitimate target?
>>2712311>It really isn't. None of these countries care about their citizen's public opinion that much. They'll just wait until people stop caring and then resume normalization with Israel.

>>2712321Has been since October 7th
>>2712318His extensive combat experience against giant chickens made him a powerful military asset.
>>2712318>why would we kill the propaganda arm of an enemy government in wartimeBeats me, they probably just didn't like him
>>2712327The idea isn't to doom the regime, it's just to change it to no longer be able to help China.
>>2712327To be fair this is a reactionary country with some retarded religious freaks at the top. This ain't a socialist union.
>>2712321I wouldn't say that, but the balance of power is definitely more in favour of Israel than before. Luckily Iran itself has proven extremely resilient.
>>2712322So doomed from the start, or would a coordinated move across the whole axis, Hamas-Hezbollah-Syria-Yemen-Iran have made a difference instead of letting themselves be picked off one by one?
>>2712326Who the fuck is we?
>>2712313there is no proof iran funded it or knew about it beforehand
>>2712327Venezuela folding into an US colony with a two hours military operation is fresh in the mind
>>2712327He wasn't the only one that killed in the attacks… Imo the bigger story is that the Iranian military, intelligence, whoever can't protect their top guys.
>>2712327if the US had leaders that were paid off in advance then removing the top leadership would be the action they take to subvert the government.
>>2712325kvetching intesifies
Twitter and Bezos have been saying Saudi goaded the US-Zionist attack to undermine UAE / Dubai, whom they now see as chief rival in the region. Saudi outrage at Iran is mostly performative but are just sitting back and watch Dubai get pummeled
>>2712332Doomed from the start. A coordinated attack would have just invited US intervention from day one instead of delaying it for a couple of years.
>>2712325I don't think I've heard an Israeli say the term Geneva conventions
>>2711657And? Lots of countries do, and it never stops livestreamers
>>2712321Yeah pretty much. With the US willing to stick out its head this much for Israel it's basically hopeless, Iran could've taken on Israel by itself but the US is the world's premier military superpower. Iran is no match for it, even if it can make the intervention very painful.
>>2712342Oh shit, that's cool. For some reason I thought the destruction of the jew wall was way earlier.
>>2712351It was destroyed twice. First by the Babylonians in the 6th century BC, then the Romans in the 1st century AD.
>>2712350 (me)
Adding on to this, what I hope for the most right now is the least amount of suffering for the Iranian people, and whatever that would entail.
>>2712355Oh okay, that's kind of cool. I think the other anon assumed I was celebrating the death of gazans so it's nice to have someone in the thread that's not on a perpetual hair trigger
>>2712204I miss Syrian Girl, she was so retarded in a cute way
>>2712358he can smell the whiskey on Pete Hegseth's breath
>>2712342Titus and Josephus created Christianity as a psy op right when this happened btw
>>2712354They can't censor livestreamers on rednote. And I'm not seeing much damage there
>>2712336I still don't get why they fixed. They have a vice principal. Why does the fighting end because one leader was removed?
>>2712358oh to be a fly on the wall during his fuhrerbunker meltdowns…
>>2712342Maybe they were chosen because saw how deranged they are was like

>>2712402There's no evidence of this. Trump simply said he's willing to negotiate, and an Omani diplomat said that the Iranians are as well. They aren't actually talking yet.
>>2712403This ends with trump having to give Iran a nuke and claiming he made a deal far better than Obama.
>“Iran's reckless attacks have targeted our close allies and threaten our military personnel and civilians throughout the region,” write the French, German, and British leaders. "We call on Iran to immediately cease these reckless attacks. We will take measures to defend our interests and those of our allies in the region, potentially allowing for necessary and proportionate defensive actions to destroy Iran's ability to launch missiles and drones at their source."
i hate europe i hate europe i hate europe

Seven Iranian military commanders killed in air raids: report
Iran’s Tasnim News Agency is reporting that seven Iranian military commanders have been killed in air raids.
The list of names includes Basij Major General Shahid Mohammad Shirazi, Head of the Office of the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces.
The report also claims that Raider General Shahid Saleh Asadi, Deputy for Intelligence of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, was killed in the strikes.
>>2712402I'm sure there are talks, because for either side it would be stupid beyond belief to cut contacts entirely. Despite US and Israel being two face backstabbing scumbags.
>>2712432Why aren't they using the mountain tunnels in the far east?
>>2712436They were likely killed among the first attacks, when they were in their regular offices. Remember, negotiations were still ongoing when the imperialists attacked.
>>2712438>The US also independently came to the same conclusion, but it was already too late lol
>>2712439I'd honestly be pretty surprised if it wasn't. What's the point of having this network of allies if you aren't going to deploy them in a war? At the very least they could bombard US bases in Iraq and force the Americans to divert more resources to protecting them.
>>2712280A few reasons. On an organizational level, Hezbollah is still recovering from earlier Israeli attacks and has not had the time to both reorganize and prepare an offensive. October 7th was planned and practiced extensively for at least a year beforehand, and any offensive by Hezbollah will require the same degree of preparation, if not more. Don't expect anything anytime soon, even if Hezbollah maintains the political will to do this. That brings us to the second (larger) issue, as an organization of the national and petty bourgeoisie Hezbollah has entered into the same political crisis as other anti-Israeli factions, that being an overall decline in the political will of the bourgeoisies in every Arab nation to oppose Israel and maintain national independence rather than integrate themselves into the world imperialist system as compradors and bureaucrats.
Israel and the US have more-or-less succeeded in driving a wedge between Palestine and the rest of the Arab states by making it clear that any who step in will face indiscriminate destruction and economic disruption, while simultaneously making shrewd overtures for "peace" through capital export and investment. It's the age-old rhetorical wedge of settler-colonialism: "well we'd do business with you
good ones, but we need the
bad ones out of the way first." This carrot and stick is irresistible to the national and petty bourgeoisies, and its continued effectiveness can be seen in the growing divide in the Iranian bourgeoisie, who previously stood strongly united against the only other power which could threaten their regional hegemony. Why maintain the Islamic Republic if that's what stands in the way of the Iranian bourgeoisie achieving the absurd wealth displayed in Saudi Arabia or the UAE? The bourgeois classes of Lebanon are confronted with a similar question — Hezbollah doubly so with its politics stemming directly from the Iranian Revolution — and it's increasingly clear that in the neo-colonial age the late-20th century framework of "non-aligned" petty bourgeois national liberation isn't sustainable. This isn't to say Hezbollah is bad or will simply liquidate itself, but that a continuity-rupture is likely on the horizon, where the petty-bourgeoisie largely betray the resistance while the proletarians of Hezbollah and their politics continue it in a more genuine way.
>>2712444Yes, before Israel was created, there were many high ranking officials who all came to the conclusion of it will lead to endless wars in the Middle East and be a complete disaster. Everyone saw this shit coming. But the Zios are very rich and influential.
>>2712447You can bring up whatever fringe voices you want but you can't just sweep away the overwhelming trend of politicians and bourgeois donors seeing Israel as a wonderful Western-imposed thorn in the side of the Arab World and supporting it because they genuinely saw it as beneficial to their imperial interests.
>>2712438Ultras post in support of Zionist bombing schools one moment and post decrying Stalin for Zionism the next.
>>2712472So you are saying it wasn't a mistake? I don't get what is ultra about saying supporting Zionism was a stupid move for the soviets.
Statement by the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
>A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea released the following statement on the 1st:
Israel's military attack on Iran, launched with the active support and protection of the United States, and the accompanying US military action, are, in their nature, completely illegal and outrageous acts of aggression and constitute the most heinous form of violation of sovereignty.
The fact that the long-term US military threat against Iran in the region would lead to a realistic military invasion was already within the realm of possibility and was a logical consequence of the US's hegemonic and rogue nature.
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea condemns in the strongest terms the shameless and gangster-like behavior of the United States and Israel, who do not hesitate to abuse military force to achieve their selfish and hegemonic ambitions, placing domestic law above recognized international law.
The increasing hegemonic behavior of the United States that the international community has witnessed this year serves as a stark example of its destructive role in undermining world peace and stability, and its dire consequences.
The tyranny and tyranny of the tyrant, which are not met with a strong response or sufficient resistance, are forcing the regional powers to pay a heavy price and are raising concerns that the current situation in Iran could have an undeniable negative impact on the political, economic, and geopolitical aspects of the region.
The world is reexamining the history of how the United States destroyed peace in the Middle East decades ago for its own hegemonic interests, ultimately leading to its geopolitical failure and strategic frustration.
The aggressive war actions of the United States and Israel, which cannot be justified by anything, cannot be tolerated under any circumstances.
The regional parties and interested parties must accurately grasp the true nature of the lawbreakers who chose aggression and war under the pretense of false peace and fulfill their due responsibility to return the Middle East situation to peace and stability. (End)
>>2712472We don't do any of that shit retard
NEW DIRECT HIT
daily reminder that
>killing figureheads means nothing
and that if you believed
>if they killed khamenei then iran will fall!
you are repeating great man theory and are a liberal
>>2712487Generally I agree, but if you manage to kill enough high ranking people in a short enough timeframe then this will make it difficult for a military to operate. This is in part why Hezbollah had to withdraw from the war in Gaza. However clearly they haven't been able to accomplish this with Iran.
>>2712496They probably have some kind of decentralized system in place to offset losses in leadership. They had an entire year to develop something, it's not like israel is trying something new.
>>2712494That's it? Shit looks like a party popper
>>2712487great man theory is true to an extent and rejecting it wholesale is foolish
Series of blasts heard over West Jerusalem
A series of loud blasts have been heard above West Jerusalem following air raid sirens after the Israeli military said it detected missiles launched from Iran.
“A short while ago, the [Israeli military] identified missiles launched from Iran toward the territory of the State of Israel,” the army said in a statement.
“Defensive systems are operating to intercept the threat.”
Police station near Tehran hit by strikes; people trapped under rubble
Iranian media report a police station on the outskirts of Iran’s capital has been hit in an attack killing an unspecified number of people.
Others remain trapped under debris of the destroyed building.
“Following the enemy attack on the city of Rey, the Rey Police Headquarters building and nearby residential buildings were hit,” the Tasnim news agency reported.
“According to initial reports a number of citizens were martyred and some were trapped under the rubble.”
Iranian rocket hits Jerusalem: Report
An Al Jazeera correspondent is reporting that an Iranian rocket has made a direct hit on the city of Jerusalem.
A short while ago we reported that air raid sirens have sounded and explosions were heard over West Jerusalem after the Israeli army said it detected missiles launched from Iran towards Israel.
“Defensive systems are operating to intercept the threat,” the Israeli army said, urging the public to stay in shelters.
>>2712506>They had an entire year to develop something, it's not like israel is trying something new.How do you know? They're probably preparing the next pager attack right now. Maybe next one will be exploding microwaves or something.
No one is going to reply to:
>>2712470So I'll just say again, everything that happened in that war from the pager attack to them pinpointing Nasrallah's bunker proves that they're infiltrated up the yin yang.
>>2712514"If I'm going down I'm taking you with me" perhaps? The conflict last year already showed that the Iron Dome is extremely vulnerable.
>>2712518If only the IRGC could find a way to plant remote explosives into the genitals of small children. Then they'd be able to wipe out the entire Ziomerican leadership in one swoop.
>>2712487the fact that until this moment all kinds of missiles and drones are rainning all over the middle easy, is undeniable evidence that no one has shaken the the real structure of the Iranian state.
Why doesn't Iran use its sub-marines?
>>2712391> A lot of people in these threads seem to talk about Jews as if they're subhuman vermin, rather than just saying that Israelis are dickheads.Uhhh, I think I would say they're a little more nefarious than just "dickheads."
>>2712194wtf anarchist islam??
>>2712504>middle east spectatorthis motherfucker is saying that US bases have been reduced to ash and that Khameini was giving commands 8 hours after he died
I'm seeing some Shahrters say there's video proof out there that the school bombing was an inside job by Iran, with no said proof ever being provided. Not surprised, just thought the constant bombing Pissrael did of Gazan schools and hospitals would have created a sense of "yep, that's them zios for you!" in these people and that they'd just grow to accept that their political ally is a kid murdering entity, and not have them grasping at straws saying IRAN DID IT IRAN DID IT
