>>2726470depends on what the gulf arabs do at the end of this I guess
>>2726470The US has already won this war.
>>2726468funny how this dude of all enemies of the US is the one chilling right now (comparatively speaking)
>>2726474>psyopped Chud thinks they were anything but cattleThe irony is palpable.
>>2726461Why is ameriKKKa deploying city cops to a warzone.
Yes, Kuwait is a warzone.
>>2726479Huh, was it a win in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, libya, or any other campaign since WWII? I guess it depends on what you mean by winning and who specifically 'wins'. It sure isn't the vets dying by their own hand and crippled for life. The bankers and politicians might consider it a win but I don't see it.
>>2726488Syria and Libya definitely were, but those were fundamentally different conflicts where the vast majority of the actual fighting was done by proxies on the ground. If America couldn't bomb North Vietnam into submission then there's no reason to think they could do it to Iran.
>>2726470>How big of a disaster is this going to be for the US?Less than we hope, way more than they fear.
>>2726488You do understand that the bankers are the ones who run this government, right? Everything is done for their benefit, and they won all of those wars and won them easily, because they profited off the chaos with no backlash at all thanks to the American "left" being intentionally impotent.
>>2726490North Vietnam had help from half the world, it had an air force which could contest the skies and it had the best air defence network in the world. Iran has none of those things.
shahed-136 lowkey look like a paper airplane
>throw paper airplane at vet
>kills self
>>2726488>AfghanistanI'm unaware on how much the CIA still controls the opium/heroin trade in the region but when I read about it back in the 10s it seemed like they were winning very hard.
>IraqAll of the oil is in western hands now, Iraq is not even a possible threat to Israel right now and they're basically cooperating with the Israeli/American special military operation against Iran instead of being another soft-adversary/nuissance like it would've been under Saddam.
>SyriaWent from owning the zios from time to time and saber rattling quite a bit to a completely and unabashedly cucked and subservient entity to Israel and the west. The biggest and clearest win so far.
>Libyadunno lol, what's even happening there?
>any other campaign since WWIIWorst Korea is porkie's wet dream and has served as pretty effective propaganda piece for them for decades, despite anyone who looks just a bit deeper than surface level knowing the south is a horrid colonial shithole and capitalism is itself a big part of why.
Only for Vietnam it becomes harder to argue for a westoid victory there, but I think there's an angle to even that one.
>>2725988>That's a ridiculous reason to reject arms from an ally.its their own stated reason? did you think islamists are smart? theyre competent enough but they are not marxists. yes domestic aa/ad would also require training but that would be years out and integrated. accepting S-400 now means a russian corporal sitting inside the radar truck pressing the red button and the system calling moscow to ask permission. that actually is an entirely reasonable position to deny when they see what happens when patriot refuses to fire because internet cant connect to washington. its a huge risk for not much gain when what they really want is the tech transfer to make their own unshackled from another state. really not a sovereign position especially if you rely on it or aa/ad for strategic significance, which they dont, instead opting for firepower and deterrence which as we see is working.
>None of that will matter if they don't have weapons to fire at the enemy.but they do have weapons. they dont need ad to have offensive missiles, and the cost of production ratio benefits them
>>2726500and whether or not it is a ridiculous reason isnt really for us as observers to determine. that fact is russia and china offered and iran said no
>>2726494>North Vietnam had help from half the worldBut it wasn't enough to stop an obscene amount of ordinance from being dropped on them. The relevant point here is the demonstrated inability of bombing to topple governments as long as their (and their people's) resolve is intact.
>>2726505North Vietnam also extracted a heavy toll on the US invader, which Iran has not and cannot do.
>>2726495
>Goycattle thinks we are retarded enough to share in their race based world view
Why are you even here?
Don't you have to get raped by your favorite based white billionaire or something?
>>2726507They don't necessarily need to, they just need to survive.
>>2726494>It had the best air defence network in the worldBest is pushing it. The USSR which created that network (and not even with their top-of-the-line SAMs) had the best network, in part because of their defensive army doctrine.
Half the world being China and the USSR primarily with some small Soviet Bloc assistance.
>Iran has none of those things. Iran has ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones out the wazoo and they've done the same job as strike aircraft; destroy enemy operational and even strategic capacity. Iranian Air Defenses are also pretty damn good, they're just facing one of the most technologically advanced forces in the world and one that has experience with SEAW operations. They're still dangerous because B-52s are only doing stand-off missions and the US and IDF are only sending in drones and stealth aircraft for very fast missions with maximum AWACS and SEAD coverage.
Additionally, bombing campaigns without boots on the ground or proxy forces at the very least have NEVER worked. The USAF bombed the majority of North Korea into rubble, literally more bombs were dropped on all of Indochina (comparable in size to Iran) than collectively all the bombs dropped in WW2. In Yugoslavia it took all of NATO WITH Ground Forces and proxies to shatter Yugoslavia, with 3x the number of HARM and anti-SAM missiles fired compared to the Gulf War. The Gulf War was also won because aerial forces bombed out the Iraqi army and then armored forces swept in and demolished the remainder. This is standard tactics. Simply bombing and assassinating leaders with no coup plan never works.
>>2726512>he USAF bombed the majority of North Korea into rubbleIn the case of the Korean War you would occasionally have US bombers returning to their bases fully loaded because they couldn't find any intact buildings to bomb. That war was still a stalemate and the DPRK still stands.
Do you think that they will put Boots on the ground?
And if they do put Boobs on da ground then will there be a draft. I hope not because I don't wanna get drafted but at least all of the Antisemitic chuds can get blown up by a shahed drone knowing that he died for Israel.
>>2726519there will never be another draft in america
>>2726519boots or nuke. either way. fuck. cant even aurafarm. dont know what will happen.
>>2726512American technology (which is not top of the line btw, they are lagging behind Russia and China) is countered by American logistics being dogshit. For example, airfields being threatened drastically decreases efficiency of American air defences because they use jets for interception. Americnas are using an obscene number of refueling aircraft, but that's not helping them much because they still have to restock their weapons on the ground.
War's not winnable without a ground invasion of Iran to silence Iranian missiles and drones. Bombing campaigns against civilian targets will not amount to decrease in Iranian military might
>>2726519>Boobs on da groundI'll join if that's the plan
>>2726503AW LAWL, THE AMERIMUTTS ARE UNDER A FINANCIAL CORRALITO
>>2726503I hope my graphene investments survive.
It probably will
>>2726511They do need to extract some sort of toll on the Americans and they can't.
>>2726512>Iran has ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones out the wazoo and they've done the same job as strike aircraft; destroy enemy operational and even strategic capacity.

They're still dangerous because B-52s are only doing stand-off missions and the US and IDF are only sending in drones and stealth aircraft for very fast missions with maximum AWACS and SEAD coverage. Iran has a lot of missiles which are effortlessly intercepted by the IDF's missile defence system and ruthlessly hunted from the skies, which is why their launch numbers are in the toilet now. They have no capacity to rebuild or replenish their stocks, either. Once they burn through their stockpiles, they are done.
Iran's air defenses are so depleted that the Zionists strike them with absolute impunity and have yet to lose a single airplane.

This is why they've been targeting police stations, Basiji outposts, intelligence offices and IRGC infrastructure.
>>2726516The DPRK also had help from half the world, especially to rebuild their country after the war. Iran does not.
>Iran's air defenses are so depleted that the Zionists strike them with absolute impunity
least retarded person with 0 military understanding.
>>2726533>effortlessly intercepted by the IDF's missile defence systemLMAO no. Not only are they getting through, but they're accurate too, pics posted in the previous thread. The Patriot missile is dogshit against ballistic threats, this has been proven repeatedly since the 90s when they failed to shoot down a single old as fuck Scud missile. US DoD claimed a 90% interception rate, until it was realized that literally 0 successfully hit their targets. That was PAC-1 and 2, with PAC-3 being specifically created because the other two were too weak to get the job done and even those have difficulty shooting down a fucking Su-34 when fired in salvos, let alone ballistic missiles. The THAAD and SM-3/SM6 are decent missiles but they're expensive and limited in number and the destruction of the strategic RADARs has made them significantly less capable.
>They have no capacity to rebuild or replenish their stocks Yes they do, their ballistic missiles are their own and their factories are deep in mountainous fortifications.
>uthlessly hunted from the skies Except Iran continues to fire wave after wave and the launch numbers are still high, what are you even on about? If we go by video footage alone, the IDF and USAF has hit maybe 200 units total if we're being generous. Not to mention cheap as fuck Shaheds that have provably gotten through repeatedly.
>Iran's air defenses are so depleted that the Zionists strike them with absolute impunity and have yet to lose a single airplane. They've lost 2 F-15s and they're not even entering Iranian airspace with manned aircraft save for B2s which were built specifically to counter S-300s and comparable chinese units.
>oth the US and Mossad have admitted that they have a proxy force No, they've both claimed they have one, but the Kurds refused to fight, the rest are minor groups at best.
>This is why they've been targeting police stations, Basiji outposts, intelligence offices and IRGC infrastructure. And they will never destroy all of it because Iran is fucking huge and hides half its government and military infrastructure in mountain bases that are immune to almost everything.
>The DPRK also had help from half the world, especially to rebuild their country after the war. The DPRK was mostly independent from at least the 1970s up until the 2000s and did fine. Nuclear technology and ballistic missiles were learned on their own. Iran learned from them and the Chinese.
>>2726533>They do need to extract some sort of toll on the Americans and they can't.They're already extracting a toll in material, and more importantly on the world economy. Restricting global oil supplies will bring worldwide pressure on the US to withdraw, and Iran will continue to retaliate until they do. This is assuming that A) there aren't more casualties than we've been told, and B) casualties don't go up as Iran inflicts damage on THAAD and other radar systems, depletes interceptor stocks, etc.
>which is why their launch numbers are in the toilet nowYou still haven't shown this, and other analysts have argued that this is representative of lower interception rates due to low stocks, in turn requiring fewer missiles to inflict the desired damage. This is what Alastair Crook argues, he was a British diplomat in Israel and an ex-MI6 glowie. He says that at present rates Iran's stockpile could last for months, that most of what they've fired now is their old stock, and that their launch capacity is hardened and has not been significantly degraded. He also argues that strict censorship in Israel is restricting a full assessment of the damage. The only claims I've seen that the number of missiles has significantly decreased have come from the US or Israeli militaries. Israel, Iraq, Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain are all still being hit daily, so clearly the war is not over.
>Both the US and Mossad have admitted that they have a proxy force What proxy force? There are no signs of internal instability in Iran. The ethnic Persian opposition has no organization, no weapons. By all accounts its extremely divided and widely regarded as impotent. Trump has already ruled out some kind of Kurdish Bay of Pigs, and the KRG said they wouldn't cooperate with such a scheme. There is no imperialist ground force being arrayed against Iran.
>This is why they've been targeting police stations, Basiji outposts, intelligence offices and IRGC infrastructure. And yet even Western media like CNN show that there is no breakdown of civil order, no sign of the Islamic Republic losing control.
>The DPRK also had help from half the world, especially to rebuild their country after the war. Iran does not.Honestly if there is one thing we can rely on China to do, it's take advantage of a massive investment opportunity. I think we could expect to see a huge influx of Chinese capital after the war.
>>2726547USAmerica's original founding father was Oliver Cromwell, who was Hitler for the Irish
>>2726533Absolutely B.S and cope as multiple anons have pointed out. You have zero evidence to proof this.
>Both the US and Mossad have admitted that they have a proxy force I know you’re just making shit up but who? The Kurds said no and the U.S/israels civilian bombings in Tehran is literally killing the only base of support they would have. They killed all the opposition leaders, the only ethnic group significant enough said no because they’ve been betrayed so many time and finally wised up.
Thick black cloud engulfs Tehran
What happened last night is quite unprecedented.
It’s daytime here in Tehran today, but it looks like night as the city is surrounded by a thick black cloud. On my way to the office, I saw drops of rain falling onto my window, and they were black.
There is a high risk of being surrounded by toxic air as last night several fuel depots and oil refineries were reportedly targeted across different locations, including the south-east of Tehran and the eastern part of Shehran.
This is not the first time. Back in June, during the 12-day war, we saw fuel depots being targeted, but this is unprecedented. We are dealing with a critical situation in terms of war and environmental circumstances in the capital.
And we are receiving reports of these attacks continuing across the country.
There are serious concerns about the rising number of casualties among civilians. Three days ago, the tally was at about 1,300, but we know that in the past days, intensive strikes targeting Iranian territory have continued, so it’s likely that the number has gone up.
Meanwhile, Iran continues to strike back – no sign of de-escalation as of now.
>>2726556it would not be surprising if Iran started indiscriminately bombing all tel aviv
>>2726556>>2726556>Thick black cloud engulfs TehranGonna call BS on this one, the fires we saw were bad, but not like what this claims
>>2726543>LMAO no. Not only are they getting through, but they're accurate too, pics posted in the previous thread. The Patriot missile is dogshit against ballistic threats, this has been proven repeatedly since the 90s when they failed to shoot down a single old as fuck Scud missile.

The THAAD and SM-3/SM6 are decent missiles but they're expensive and limited in number and the destruction of the strategic RADARs has made them significantly less capable. It is an objective fact that over 90% of Iranian missiles have been intercepted. Technology has advanced considerably in 30 years and the Patriot is not what it used to be. They regularly intercept ballistics in Ukraine that are far better than anything Iran has (Iskander)
>Yes they do, their ballistic missiles are their own and their factories are deep in mountainous fortifications. And they can AT BEST produce a handful of them a month, less than Israel and America can produce interceptors.
>Except Iran continues to fire wave after wave and the launch numbers are still high, what are you even on about? If we go by video footage alone, the IDF and USAF has hit maybe 200 units total if we're being generous. Not to mention cheap as fuck Shaheds that have provably gotten through repeatedly. It is again, an objective fact that Iranian fire rates have fallen off and continue to fall daily. They do not launch waves of missiles, they launch 1-2 at a time. Their Shaheds cannot hit Israel because they lack the range, and Iran has fired fewer of them during this entire war than Russia does in 1 night in Ukraine.
>They've lost 2 F-15s and they're not even entering Iranian airspace with manned aircraft save for B2s which were built specifically to counter S-300s and comparable chinese units. They lost 3 F-15s to friendly fire. Iran has yet to shoot down any coalition aircraft and will not do so.
>No, they've both claimed they have one, but the Kurds refused to fight, the rest are minor groups at best. Iran was just wracked with massive protests that nearly attained critical mass on their own. Without the IRGC to put them down things could be radically different. Iran was a deeply broken nation even before these attacks and now is in much worse condition. All of the contradictions like hyperinflation, shortages and water are still present, only now Iran can't put down dissent.
>The DPRK was mostly independent from at least the 1970s up until the 2000s and did fine. Nuclear technology and ballistic missiles were learned on their own. Iran learned from them and the Chinese.The DPRK got massive support from China and the USSR, they were never truly self-reliant.
>>2726548
>They're already extracting a toll in material, and more importantly on the world economy. Restricting global oil supplies will bring worldwide pressure on the US to withdraw, and Iran will continue to retaliate until they do. This is assuming that A) there aren't more casualties than we've been told, and B) casualties don't go up as Iran inflicts damage on THAAD and other radar systems, depletes interceptor stocks, etc. Except the people who matter are making money from that material toll and so it benefits them to have a war like this. Thus far, Iran has not shut down the strait of Hormuz (because they can't) and oil continues to flow.
A) America does not have a regime of military censorship like the IDF and cannot effectively hide casualties
and
B) America can produce more interceptors than Iran can missiles, and is already working on doing so. This is also assuming that the rest of NATO doesn't get involved and bring in their air defense.
>You still haven't shown this, and other analysts have argued that this is representative of lower interception rates due to low stocks, in turn requiring fewer missiles to inflict the desired damage. This is what Alastair Crook argues, he was a British diplomat in Israel and an ex-MI6 glowie.

The only claims I've seen that the number of missiles has significantly decreased have come from the US or Israeli militaries. Israel, Iraq, Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain are all still being hit daily, so clearly the war is not over. You can literally count the number of missiles fired, it's no great secret. Every missile launched from Iran is tracked from the moment it reaches the surface until it's inevitably intercepted. Iranian attacks are 1-2 missiles at best now and are being intercepted with ease.
>What proxy force? There are no signs of internal instability in Iran. The ethnic Persian opposition has no organization, no weapons. By all accounts its extremely divided and widely regarded as impotent. Trump has already ruled out some kind of Kurdish Bay of Pigs, and the KRG said they wouldn't cooperate with such a scheme. There is no imperialist ground force being arrayed against Iran. The same one that was rioting in the streets for months and was only barely put down thanks to massive brutality from the IRGC, who is all dead or forced underground now.
>And yet even Western media like CNN show that there is no breakdown of civil order, no sign of the Islamic Republic losing control.And the western bombing campaign isn't even close to done.
>Honestly if there is one thing we can rely on China to do, it's take advantage of a massive investment opportunity. I think we could expect to see a huge influx of Chinese capital after the war.If there is one thing we can rely on China to do, it's nothing.
>>2726572Btw maybe you'd like to address the fact that even US intelligence reports say that the US wouldn't be able to topple the Islamic Republic even in a large scale war.
>>2726553 >>2726572Hello fellow "skeptical anti imperialist"
>>2726587>And I reiterate, Iran's Eastern missile bases have not yet been used in full capacity.Additionally, as time progresses, the U.S. and Israeli strikes will decrease in their intensity. They don't have the munitions needed to bomb underground bases 24/7.
Within a few weeks, and possibly as early as 5-6 days from now, Iranian engineers will be able to start working on getting the Western missile bases back into operation.
Things to prepare for tomorrow:
>houthis potentially trying to solo the USS Gerald Ford (the shit-filled carrier) in the red sea
>markets opening for stonks to go to the ground and oil to go to the moon (kuwait suspended production this weekend)
Keep monitoooring.
The sooner people accept the possibility of a worst case scenario, the better.
Israel/america struck desalination plants. The streets of Tehran are slicked with burning oil. Even the water is on fire. The white house is intervening to stop investigations into retaliatory terror. They could be planning a false flag. The possibility that this takes the form of the nuclear option is not unimaginable. If everything continues to goes wrong here, they will nuke Iran. There is a chance this stays in the low yield tactical range; but once the line is crossed, who knows. If the nuclear winter hypothesis is at all correct, the proceeding nuclear winter will affect the whole planet. What's left of Iran will strike desalination plants in the UAE and then their oil fields; and place mines in the strait. Those oil fields will burn for years. When that nuclear winter ends, the methane released from the burning oil fields will cause exponential global heating for at least 20 years; and the carbon a long-term worsening of the climate crisis for the forseeable future.
I'm not religious, but if you have the luxury of belief, I envy you. Spend this time living slowly. Appreciate that you, a piece of living and breathing matter, can experience anything at all. If that doesn't put you at ease, just remember that not everyone gets to see the end of the world.
>>2726533 its not effective at all on top of not being produced at scale. the only one that is effective is thaad and its entire use case only existed explicitly for japan and korea to defend from a single non mirv mrbm and as soon as dprk passed that status it also became completely irrelevant. the israeli one is for intercepting bottle rockets. patriot and aegis dont work. their <50% interception rate is worse than not working in actuality because it gives a false sense of security
all their toys only "worked" because the missile treaties put everyone in a narrow band where they were most effective. theyve never been able to intercept medium range "hypersonic" ballistics thats why they made up the inf because the su had escalation dominance over europe. but the recent admins have forgotten that from huffing too much of their own propaganda

I hope my chan designated lefty waifu is cute
>>2726583You know, you'd think that someone who has been in the military would understand that information is a weapon and if these reports were true, US intelligence would NEVER release them to the public because it would encourage an Iranian attack that they desperately wanted to dissuade.
But I guess they just taught you how to kill kids overseas nothing else.
>>2726584You're all delusional and it's a little bit frightening tbh.
>>2726588Incorrect, as Iran's air defenses are destroyed (and this is only a matter of time) the US and Israel will switch to JDAMs, of which they have far more than Iran does TELs. The US can absolutely bomb the bases 24/7 with JDAMs, they have a basically unlimited stock of them.
>>2726597Iran can't hit the desalinization plants yet. The gulf air defense networks are still in tact and Iran can't launch enough missiles to saturate them.
>>2726599Patriot regularly intercepts Ballistics in Ukraine, and those are better than anything that Iran has. Israel's interception rate thus far is better than 90%. It might even be 100% given as it seems that all Iran has hit them with is debris from the missiles, not the actual warheads.
>>2726597>capitalism finally takes us all downcommunism could have prevented all this but baltoids needed blue jeans

>>2726626>It might even be 100% given as it seems that all Iran has hit them with is debris from the missiles, not the actual warheads.Holy shit you really are clueless. There was a direct warhead hit in this war that Israel admitted becauss it killed 9 civvies.

>>2726640Keep backpedaling lol. You're not actually keeping up with the war.
>>2726622chinese wisdom enjoyers are everywhere
>>2726645I don't have to follow every single strike to know that Iran has dealt no militarily, economically or societally significant damage to Israel. Israel retains 100% of it's military capabilities it had before the war, and is exercising them daily even as Iran's military capabilities continue to decline. The US has suffered some superficial damage but nothing that can stop it from striking back. It's aircraft (sans 3, an insignificant loss) and ships are still all in place, routinely striking Iran with impunity. Meanwhile, Iranian government infrastructure will continue to be degraded, it's oil industry destroyed and it's launch capabilities attrited to the maximum possible extent.
Basically, America and Israel can hurt Iran badly, while Iran cannot hurt America or Israel at all.
The only way that America can really LOSE this war is if they invade, at what point they will eat shit and die thanks to Iran inventing the tactics that defeated the US already in Iraq.
>>2726540Notice how absent the interimperialist/anticampist/bothsidist posters are
it's an interdengist conflict really
on the discussion of factories, what could be effective for a strong peace movement rather than show protest would be to block the advanced weapons and explosives factories rather than blowing them up
the short term effect would be limited, no permanent damage and so it would be less acceptable to violently remove them but its a big concern for a long term war
>>2726647uygha Israel is a secondary theatre in this war (unlike the last one) and ofc America is far away. You're just acting as if the Gulf and the Hormuz ticking clock don't exist.
>>2726655they'll brutalize protestors either way. but yeah, blocking those as well as well as military logistics hubs like ports would be effective. but above all, a general strike would be the best.
>>2726656If Iran could shut down the strait, why haven't they done so? Iran's best play would be to maximize economic damage to the US and Israel, but they haven't even done that. Nothing of real value has been lost yet, and the oil continues to flow in the strait.
>>2726660They practically have already done so. Traffic is down 99.9% and Iraq + Kuwait have already suspended production due to filled storage.
>>2726645>You're not actually keeping up with the war.its some /k/oper nafoid, theyre "keeping up" with western propaganda

>>2726660Apparently only Chinese vessels are passsing
Yesterday, the IRGC Aerospace Force was observed launching missiles from the Esfahan Missile Base. The above ground structures of the base were bombed three times during the 12-Day War, and the underground tunnels and tunnel entrances were bombed once by F-35s and two seperate times by B-2 bombers with bunker busters in the past week alone. Yet somehow, the base is still fully operational, and continuing to launch missiles just two days after it was last attacked. These bases or missile cities are located 100 meters below the rugged mountains and reinforced concretes. There is no bunker buster munition that can penetrate that deep to dismantle the bases.
Thats why USA/Israel decided to perform desperate attacks on oil and water infrastructure lately.
In retaliation, Iran just began to attacks on oil and water infrastructure in the region. Haifa oil refinery and Bahrain water desalination plant were just hit and similar attacks across the region would increase chaos and global energy crisis.
In the 8th day of US-Israels war on Iran, despite 4,500 strikes destroying Iranian military assets (vs 3,500 precise strokes of Iran), Western forces face desperation: munitions shortages, damaged bases, economic chaos from Hormuz closure, need to accumulate carriers in the region, and reliance on hoped-for regime collapse amid resilient Iranian retaliation targeting Gulf infrastructure.

>>2726694Good, I hope they succeed and force the US navy into missile range. However, the only proper take here is that negotiating with America, the rabid dog, was always stupid and Iran should have launched a surprise attack before America could move so many assets into the region.
>>2726697This is objective truth, Iran has caused no significant damage to Israel yet. It is unclear if they will be able to at all. Israel retains 100% of it's military capabilities while Iran's are degraded every day through attrition and active destruction of TELs. Israel is very much in the driver's seat for this portion of the war.
>>2726704what is this supposed to be
>>2726702everything you spout is a blatant lie that repeat imperialist propaganda. They have destroyed and damaged radars, military bases, airports, refineries, government buildings etc…

BREAKING
Demoralizing his soldiers and emboldening Trump one day after his phone call with Putin wasn't enough. He's done it AGAIN with the Putinspeak lmao!
<Iran's President Pezeshkian addresses the people of the Gulf states:
<"The enemy wishes for us to be at war with Islamic countries. We are brothers with our neighboring countries. Our relations should be good. Our attack doesn't mean we have a quarrel with that country. We do it out of necessity, because they attacked us."
>>2726647Extremely retarded understanding of war. Each actor has a goal here. Iran's goal is for the regime to survive, and only a complete dumbass would think it's failing at that so far. The Islamic institutions are still in place, and it's still functioning as a cohesive state. There's people on the streets demonstrating in support of the government. Even if you conservatively estimate that only ~15% of the population supports the Islamic Republic (this is before assuming the rally around the flag effect, which is very real), that is still close to 10 million people. Look at the role of martyrdom in Shi'ism during the Iran-Iraq war to see how far some of these people would be willing to go. You saw Araghchi baiting the US for boots on the ground in an interview because he knew how much of a disaster it would be for an already unpopular war.
>Iran cannot hurt America or Israel at allMore retardation. The Gulf is already fundamentally different from what it was just a week ago. Dubai and Doha's reputation as an island of stability are destroyed. The Gulf monarchies no longer see the US as a reliable partner. This is harmful to US interests in the region.
>>2726702>This is objective truthRead this paper first, fucking imbecile:
https://web.archive.org/web/20231110004538/https://spp.umd.edu/sites/default/files/2019-07/Future%20Challenges%20for%20Israel%E2%80%99s%20Iron%20Dome%20Rocket%20Defenses%20021618.pdf. This is about the Iron Dome specifically, but the same principles apply here. The IDF (a famously honest organization btw) is never going to publish the true interception rates for political reasons. You can try to get estimates from damage and insurance claims, but this is imprecise and hardly scientific. The Iron Dome only has to deal with slow-moving bottle rockets that follow a ballistic trajectory. Nobody outside of a few people in the US/Israel is going to know the precise interception rate for MRVs, but it is sure as fuck not going to be 90%.
This also conveniently discounts the fact that these interceptors are already extremely expensive, and the US does not have the industrial capacity to replace them at a reasonable rate. Not to mention that most interceptors come from a time when the MIC wasn't as bloated and parasitic as it is now.
>>2726715In Russia, anticommunists loved to say shit like "refrigerator defeats TV". Will have a blast reminding libs about that, just like all their bullcrap about Kiev in 3 days, Bucha and so on and so forth
Iran really makes you think what a massive cuck Putin is…

>>2726721It couldint have been avoided, they're not an economic power like the rothschild burgerreich, but the good thing is that the burgerreichlers are wasting so much of their assets worth money so carelessly
>>2726520This is cope. Iran will take orders of magnitude more men to subdue then Vietnam.
>>2726533This is /k/ posting.
>>2726720>Iran really makes you think what a massive cuck Putin is…Same thing is happening as last year. The moment Putin made his phone call, suddenly the Iranian president is shooting Iran in the foot with appeasement statements and trying to do the good-guy nonsense, not realizing that Trump takes that as a sign of weakness and fear.
>>2726720The way Trump tries to bribe Putin right now and is avoiding naming China in a bad light - it shows that this type of "cuckoldry" is universal
Iran should start hitting electricity production in Israel already…
>>2726507>North Vietnam also extracted a heavy toll on the US invader, which Iran has not and cannot do.Iran just has to hit much easier targets in the oil fields, refineries and ports. At their convenience, across the gulf, instead of sending missiles and drones thousands of Km across every possible line of air defense NATO has in every country along the way, towards Israel.
It seems to me, so far they are doing (and setting up) some of that, but to massage capital interests away from escalation rather than MAD with the other petrostates. The compradors are by now, well disabused of the idea that NATO will or even *can* protect them.
As things escalate, we'll see how far they are willing to stake profits or even regime change, to keep NATO afloat. If nothing else, any promises of becoming post-collapse Iran's custodians/looters are probably going up in smoke right now.
>>2726758they're following a strategy of escalating slowly and minimally, same as always. Driven by public opinion in the USA's vassal states. And it's working. The vast majority of Britons, Germans, etc. are opposed to Israel and the USA continuing this, and strongly opposed to a ground invasion. By continuing to expose the USA and Israel as the rogue nations they are, Iran can turn the inevitable short-term victory of surviving into a much longer-lasting diplomatic victory.
20 years ago, France refusing to join the Iraq War got them vilified by the 'Coalition' countries, but now all those countries are thinking Iran looks sensible and statesmanlike next to the declining, demented USA and their genocide-loving rapevassal the 'State of Israel'. Take desalination plants for instance. Iran could've blown them all up on day one and fucked up the entire region for years to come. But by waiting for Israel to do it first, now the blame is on them. It's an example of the kind of long-term planning the USA isn't capable any more, but China (and evidently Iran) are.
>>2726764i think it means the US did it from UAE territory?
>>2726618speak for yourself
>>2726767The claim is that the UAE did it, which would mean they have joined the war, but it originates from Israeli media so could be another psyop.

>This uses the false assumption that Iran's opening salvo represents some kind of "normal" daily usage which is then sophistically straw-manned to assert that subsequent days are falling "below average". In reality, the opening salvos are always meant as an anomalously high barrage that is not ever meant to be sustainable.Iran is merely switching to normal sustainable long term salvo volumes.
>One of the ways we can determine this is by considering that in the last exchange, Iranian missile capabilities were said to be heavily attrited (with various 70-90% figures being given) which was supposed to explain the low salvo counts.>Yet if Iran's total ballistic capabilities were really that attrited, there's no way it would have been able to rebuild them just in the past year alone to the point of being able to fire the same massive opening salvos as in the first war.>This leads us to conclude that the opening salvo count merely represents a doctrinal opening barrage, with an attendant 'regression to the mean' of regular sustainable salvo volumes.>In short, Iran is merely operating within its normal doctrinal strike procedures. The lower salvo counts should actually scare you, because it represents the base volume that Iran can sustain indefinitely while regenerating stocks 1:1.>They may scoff at this now, but wait 8 months down the line when Iran is still comfortably sending a couple dozen non-interceptable hypersonics with cluster munitions per day like clockwork and you'll see what kind of systematic attrition that brings to the region.>That's not to even mention that this relates only to ballistic missiles and doesn't even address the fact that drone launches have increased, which now strike with increased effectiveness due to the regional AD attrition. It won't be a laughing matter 8 months down the line when a 1-2 dozen ballistics and 100+ drones are launched daily at exhausted "allied" bases.
>As stated, the statistics being presented about Iran’s missile launches are from hasbara sources, particularly the IDF. For instance, Iran’s missile and drone salvos were said to have dropped to almost nothing in the past two days as in the earlier graph, yet UAE has independently reported that the number of attacks it has defended against Iran just today alone is vastly higher than the stated counts: >As can be seen, UAE alone reports 15 ballistics and nearly 120 drones launched just at them today, whereas some “official” statistics are showing roughly that amount as total fired by Iran into every direction. If the disparity is true, we’re looking at several orders of magnitude of potential discrepancies between “official” statistics and real launches.
>Keep in mind, US’s strikes have likewise fallen off from nearly 1,000 on the first day to an estimated 200-300 per day or less since then—and many if not most of those strikes are hitting superficial targets to “fluff up the score”, like a plane boneyard which surely added a couple dozen “points” to the “impressive” strike list:
>According to them, Iran had over 400 launchers, and 150 of them were directly “destroyed” while another 150 were temporarily “buried” underground, wherein presumably the tunnel entrances of their storage bases were hit.>We must first note that launchers specifically refers to the missile truck platforms, not the missiles themselves. Iran may have thousands of missiles, and Israel is bragging about destroying the launchers which are just trucks which can easily be rebuilt; that’s not to mention Iran has many missiles said to launch directly from the ground, without launcher vehicles.>Secondly, the problem with the above stories is that they are virtually identical to the reports given to us during the previous 12 Day War in June 2025. Here’s a Jerusalem Post article dating June 16, 2025:>So, back then they likewise “destroyed” 120 launchers—an oddly similar number—and this represented “one third” of Iran’s launchers, which would be about 360. Keep in mind this is from the first few days of the 12 Day War—by the end of it, Israel had claimed that “two thirds” of Iranian launchers were destroyed, or around ~250, according to this Times of Israel article dated June 24, 2025:
>We are then to believe that since that time in 2025, Iran rebuilt its entire stockpile of launchers to over 400 once more. It would seem—according to these numbers—that Iran is able to build about 40 launchers per month in order to have rebuilt ~300 or so of them in the 7-8 months that have transpired since then. Western figures claim Iran also builds 100+ ballistic missiles per month, though it’s likely that number is much higher because we know Russia builds 60+ in Iskanders alone, and Iran has dozens of different ballistic types.
>Just to humor the Israeli propaganda: even if they did destroy these numbers of Iranian launchers, why would that be considered catastrophic in any way when Iran was able to verifiably rebuild its entire stockpile from even far worse attrition last time? That’s without even saying that Iran now has a higher total (420+ claimed) than its previous total during the 2025 war (~350 claimed).
>Now the war has begun to shift into strikes on energy infrastructure with the US-Israeli axis hitting the major Tondgouyan oil refinery in southern Tehran, while Iran reportedly blew up a refinery in Haifa, Israel and oil storage sites in Kuwait. >It signals a new US axis strategy to destroy Iran economically, now that Trump has realized that Iran will not surrender or collapse politically or militarily.
>This is why now there’s talk of the US seizing Kharg Island which reportedly houses Iran’s largest oil export seaport terminal. But Iran has now “de facto” closed the Strait of Hormuz—I say de facto because both Trump and Iran itself, via Larijani, have stated Iran is not actively enforcing a blockade there, but simply that ships are refusing to pass on their own. In reality, several ships appear to have been hit and Iran may be playing a kind of plausible deniability game, closing the straits via intimidation rather than direct policy.
>Many are now pointing to Iran’s escalation dominance in being able to hit the region’s desalination plants, particularly the critical ones in Israel which provide the country with virtually all potable water. Recall that Iran still maintains other major trump cards, like the Dimona nuclear plant which Iran has not yet even thought about hitting, barring the odd rumor
>It brings us to the final point: that despite this war seeming like an “all out” existential effort, Iran has in fact continued to show restraint and appears to be holding something back in the tank in order to have escalatory options later down the line. Dimona is one example of this, but so are other major energy facilities throughout the Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia’s largest fossil fuel complexes.
>The other biggest elephant in the room in regard to this is US’s aircraft carriers. No one knows for certain whether Iran has actually attempted to hit one but is not able to, or whether Iran is saving this as the final escalatory option. >Many people responded with the belief that Iran knows if it sinks a US carrier, it would be such a prestige hit for the US that Trump may have no option but to nuke Iran. As crazy as it sounds, this is not an altogether implausible assertion, and it’s not out of the realm of possibility that Iran is operating under such a belief.
>By the way, the largest US military hospital abroad has announced a total cessation of its “labor and delivery” duties in order to focus on casualties from the Iranian conflict: >Iranian ballistic missiles inflicting “medical episodes” is a new one in the empire’s infinitely florid propaganda lexicon.
>It only goes to underscore the ‘gentlemanly’ fashion with which Russia has prosecuted its own Ukrainian war. In over four years of conflict, 15,000 total civilians are said to have been killed, while US-Israel killed ~1,300 Iranian civilians in just a matter of days. At this pace, they will have reached the four-year-long Ukraine war’s count in a couple months or so. >>2726771Yeah, but i think it's misinterpreted. This is an Iran MP:
>1/ The crime committed by US-Zionist alliance in targeting the desalination plant on Qeshm Island was carried out with support of a US base in a neighboring country in south. This aggression will met a proportionate response.>2/ US bases in the region are platforms for attacking Iran. The origin of any attack is destination of our response.https://x.com/mb_ghalibaf/status/2030337152870171111I really don't think the UAE would (could?) do that. But it is probably the neighbor to the south he mentions and someone ran with it.
>>2726698the arak soviets hacked us for being campists, we are cooked
>>2726766Come on this is cope.
The reason Iran acts like this is because they always think they are playing the role of Heel in US/Israeli domestic kafabe. US/Israel hit some stuff, Iran hits back (while telling UK all the flight trajectories to give to US/Israel to shoot down), both get domestic approval boost.
Iran thought it would be the same this time, US and Israel back off after a week of symbolic bombings for domestic audiences. They miscalculated and Israel/US+all their glowie mossad assets in the country were able to take out all of Irans air defences and a good amount of their launchers and smash huge amounts of their leadership. Iranian leadership is now in complete chaos like Hezbollah were after the Pager terrorism and Nasrallah assassination.
Iran are not controlled opposition, but they *think* they are.
The reason Iran is being attacked right now, is because in 2020, 2024 and 2025 they showed themselves to be a paper tiger. If they hit and took out even one Israeli Desal plant in those retaliation strikes, I can tell you right now, Israel would not have pushed this war in the way they did.
I have no hope in Iran doing much to seriously damage the Zionist entity. If it becomes a ground war, sure, the US is going to have a lot of body bags and drone footage of US troops facing the same reality of sadistic drone operators in Ukraine, I also agree the world economy is going to take a massive hit in the second half of this year which may even see rationing in the developed world. But I just don't think Iran has the balls to seriously engage Israel directly.
>>2726800>They miscalculated and Israel/US+all their glowie mossad assets in the country were able to take out all of Irans air defences and a good amount of their launchers and smash huge amounts of their leadership.You're making that up. At the start of the 12 Day War we had definite reports of Mossad/CIA sabotage/assassination activity. There was no such reports this time. We have no way of knowing how many launchers have managed to be destroyed.
>>2726801How is it /k/? /k/afos bullshit narrative is that Chinese and Russian AA simply doesn't work and can't even detect or shoot down a fucking Chinook.
>>2726803Because it makes no fucking sense why Iran has no functional AA other than it's all been taken out between 2015 and now.
We had reports of Mossad going around assassinating pro-democracy and Marxists activists so, why would they abandon their winning strat from previous years of just paying off people with a few hundred dollars to sabotage or give coords to AA equipment and launchers?
>>2726803>We have no way of knowing how many launchers have managed to be destroyed.We don't but it's pretty fucking evident from the missile frequency and even the low amount of missiles in retaliation at the start of this thing.
Iran are in a war of survival, yet are still playing on the idea that Israel this time will just back down because it's all kafable like previous years.
>>2726805armchair general doomposter nafo troll
>>2726805>Because it makes no fucking sense why Iran has no functional AAIf that were true then the imperialist air forces wouldn't be relying so heavily on standoff munitions fired from outside Iran's borders.
>We don't but it's pretty fucking evident from the missile frequency and even the low amount of missiles in retaliation at the start of this thing.This has been addressed already. There are other possible explanations for the rate of launches going down, assuming that they actually are. There is reason to doubt this given the sources are typically IDF or US estimates, and they don't match reports from others like the UAE.
>>2726805>We don't but it's pretty fucking evident from the missile frequencyYou mean the one which has interception and launch statistics contradicting each other + actual constant israeliamerican censorship of any footage etc. + radar sites to detect such launches being hit
>>2726764They've already denied it.
Israeli army says soldier killed in southern Lebanon
The Israeli army has announced the killing of an Israeli soldier in southern Lebanon.
The military identified the man as Maher Khatar, 38, from Majdal Shams in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. He was part of the combat engineering corps, it added.
JUST PUT THE TRASH IN THE BAG LITTLE BROTHER
>>2726812retarded comparison, call me again after the Iran ground invasion.
>>2726805>We don't but it's pretty fucking evident from the missile frequencyI have no way of knowing, all I know is two days ago everybody said Iran was out of launchers and it was ogre but then yesterday (continuing today) Iran has continued hitting GCC and Israel and strait of hormuz is still effectively closed, so I don't know.
Reminder that in every military quagmire the US has ever found itself in, it told the world and its people that they were on the verge of victory, that the enemy was about to be exhausted and give up, all they needed was more time, more troops, more bombing, etc. They said this in Korea, they said it in Vietnam, they said it in Afghanistan, and they're saying it now. Victory is always just around thr corner for them.

don't do shit about it
>>2726807>>2726808So why have no Israeli critical assets been hit? Why are civilians taking videos in Tel Aviv and it's life as normal for the most part? Why is pro-Iran relying so heavily on AI bullshit?
Come on, there is WAAAAY more Iran should be doing to defend themselves against Israel and aren't doing shit because they think that the US/Israel will get bored and back off. They don't want to "escallate" despite having their fucking head of state and most senior Government and military officials killed.
The US will invade with ground forces, Iran will raise a new colour flag, use tear gas and then claim "why are they not deescalating?"
Look, it's absolute NIGHTMARISH if Iran falls and becomes an Israeli puppet state or becomes another Syria. But i'm not going to engage in copium. Iran is basically Wimp Lo. They have been since 2020.
>>2726829And Israel and the US supported opposing forces lmao

>>2726838>I support ba'athist Iraq and islamic republicSo you support US imperialism
>>2726841Nobody cares. Go away. Get your personality disorder fixed.
>>2726836>They don't want to "escallate"Hitting Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Cyprus, Iraq (including kurds), Kuwait, lighting up pretty much every US base, hitting Dubai airport, hotels, radar systems, embassies/consulates, shutting down the strait of hormuz, etc. etc. was clearly a massive escalation and much stronger response than anybody in the US government expected. I'm not saying Iran will win (I don't know what will happen) but they are not in the cuck chair like they've been before.
>>2726839there are recordings of himars launching attacks, from the UAE.
UAE is an extension of israel.
>>2726842Stop using my people as a talking point to perpetuate the social order that massacred us.
Obsessed faggots.

And hezbollah is doing a good job even after everybody assumed they were dead. Houthis haven't even joined yet. I'm not gonna pretend I know what's gonna happen, but acting like everything is going according to plan (if there even was one) for the US is delusional.
>>2726843They also hit a desalination plant in Bahrain today. That's another major escalation.
>>2726800Iran acts like this because they need international support to survive. They cannot afford to be terrorists (even if they wanted to).
>>2726843That's not an escalation at all, just a fair response. Nobody's voting in UN against Iran, do they?
>>2726849Isn't Bahrain like the worst country for them to hit civilian infrastructure, considering they have many potential supporters there?
It's very likely they will nuke Iran
The retards in US and Israel will love it and the UN and europe will say it was justified
Im going to do my best to kill them if they actually have the balls to go through
>>2726843These are all basic defensive moves and are not escallation at all.
>>2726849No it isn't, because they are responding to attacks on Iranian plants.
Look I don't even think Iran will lose this. What I think is Copium is the idea that Iran is going to do jack fucking shit against Israel. Which they never do because they are legitimately scared of Israel.
It feels like Iranian gusanos in Tehran are less joyful of the bombings now that their lungs are full of soot
>>2726859>These are all basic defensive moves and are not escallation at all.What would you consider an escalation?

‘Strategic partnership’: Iran says military cooperation with Russia to continue
Iran’s foreign minister says military cooperation between Tehran and Moscow is ongoing and not new, describing it as part of a longstanding strategic partnership.
Asked if Iran is receiving help from Russia, Abbas Araghchi said in an interview the two countries have maintained military ties for years.
“We have a strategic partnership with Russia,” he said. “Military cooperation between Iran and Russia is not something new. It’s not a secret. It has been in the past and it is still there, and will continue in the future.”
Asked whether Russia is helping Iran locate US targets, the minister said he did not have detailed military information but reiterated relations between the two countries are strong.
“As far as I know we have a very good partnership with Russia. They are helping us in many different directions, but I don’t have any detailed information.”
strikes on US bases a ‘legal act of self-defence’: Iran
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Tehran’s attacks on US targets in the Middle East are a response to the war “imposed” by the US and Israel.
In an interview with NBC, the minister said Iran did not choose the conflict and is acting in self-defence.
“This is not the war of our choice. This is imposed on us by the United States and by Israel,” he said, describing the conflict as “unprovoked, unwarranted and illegal”.
Iran’s retaliatory military actions are directed at US bases, installations, and assets in the region, even if they are located on the territory of neighbouring countries, said Araghchi.
>>2726880But that's important information.
It's telling you to take this with a grain of salt. Alright, your choice.
<Leftychuds, I was in another town for business and I have a friend in the NSA. We met in person, he told me the shit show is getting worse.
<The USA is considering nationalizing a bunch of companies connected with the MIC to force them to make weapons because they don't know what else to do.But they fear the court will reject it using the US Steel precedent from the Korean War that you can't just nationalize porky's property because private property or some shit.
But anyways, he told me you will see that if the thing "fizzles" in the next month, a bunch of talking heads in the military will go on fox news and start pushing "american system" economics to get public support for nationalization of military industries and how this is a continuation of trump's tariff policies.
I also asked him about military details he said a couple interesting things:
>The radars taken out by Iran were used to help Ukraine target Russian assets>Russia is not taking advantage of the situation for actions in Ukraine>China is not taking advantage of the situation for actions in Taiwan>North Korea increased military build up in ports>Israel is getting rekt but they deployed calude powered palantir on the ISP level & starlink level so nothings is coming in or out without watch. You basically need somekind of non-starlink sat connection>US military did an unlicensed copy of claude ai and stores it on its own datacenters and is the reason for a lot of the fake targets being blown up>The US military is considering using certain satellites with radar scanning to detect which things are made of rubber and which are made of metal for better targeting>The US military is considering to kessler syndrome LRO if the Russians and Chinese get upper hand in helping Iran with targeting US assets>IDF personnel are running around the pentagon ordering US generals to drop tactical nukes on deep underground Iranian bases>Lastly he told me everything in the news is total psyops bullshit and the situation is much worse for the US/IDF than is reported, for example deaths of contractors in the bases is Yavoriv Reddict Camp style-destruction, but they are hiding the numbers on the Death Forms, i.e. somebody died in a car crash, drowned, died from COVID, died from slippage etc. >>2726886go for a walk, son, you sound insane
>>2726890Yeah, the blade's fulcrum is hanging in mid air lol.
>>2726900><The USA is considering nationalizing a bunch of companies connected with the MIC to force them to make weapons because they don't know what else to do.>But they fear the court will reject it using the US Steel precedent from the Korean War that you can't just nationalize porky's property because private property or some shit. lmfao i believe it.
>>2726872basically, proving that Iran still has air defense systems.
>>2726903I'll try to do better tomorrow
>>2726905Ah, understood. Without context it sounds like both those pics are reinforcing each other. UAE source one cites higher figures for UAE air defences ALONE, while Israeli source claims TOTALS, i.e. UAE AD's work, other arabs' and Israeli's. However you look at it, it's a contradiction
Sorry that I worded it badly

It's international women's day. Same thing happened last year
Who do I get to be for womeme’s day
>>2726900>start pushing "american system" economics to get public support for nationalization of military industries and how this is a continuation of trump's tariff policies.Not evening mentioning that the court is going to rule that nationalization infringes on muh property, the American System is pretty much the school of thought of the New Deal and adds a foreign policy similar to John Quincy Adams. It will be a slap in the face if military heads start bringing up the American System and not talk about the elephant in the room domestically. It goes against most of the policies of the Trump administration

The 28th wave of Operation "True Promise 4" begins: New generation missiles enter service
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard announced the launch of the 28th wave of Operation “True Promise 4”, using new generation missiles, as part of ongoing attacks on Israeli targets and others linked to US forces in the region.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard announced on Sunday the launch of the 28th wave of Operation “True Promise 4”, using new generation missiles, as part of ongoing attacks on Israeli targets and others linked to US forces in the region.
The Guard explained that it used four “Khaibar” missiles with very heavy warheads in this wave, noting that the strikes targeted areas in Beersheba and Tel Aviv.
The Guard added that the attacks also targeted the infrastructure of the Azraq air base, which it described as the largest and most important offensive base for the fighters of what it called the "American aggression".
The Revolutionary Guard also confirmed that the scale and intensity of attacks launched by the Iranian armed forces against the occupation will expand in the coming hours and days, in response to the brutality of the American-Israeli aggression.
Yesterday, Saturday, the Revolutionary Guard carried out the 27th wave of Operation "True Promise 4" , targeting the Haifa refinery with "Khaibar Shekan" missiles and American and Israeli sites.
The naval force of the Revolutionary Guard also targeted the command unit of the unmanned ships (Shahbad) belonging to the Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, in addition to the American military support warehouses in “Bandar Salman”, on the eastern coast of Saudi Arabia.
"The Seal of the Prophets": We destroyed 4 radars of the American "THAD" system… What is the importance of that?
On Sunday, the spokesman for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters announced that the Iranian armed forces had destroyed four of the American THAAD system's radars.
The spokesman for Khatam al-Anbiya said that the American THAAD systems are very advanced and long-range and were destroyed during the past 24 hours.
The headquarters indicated that the Iranian armed forces targeted American THAAD radars at American bases in Arab countries, specifically in the areas of Al-Rabh, Al-Ruways, Al-Kharj and Al-Azraq.
He also stated that "American radars were directly supplying the Israeli and US missile defense shield network with information."
Why is that important?
The spokesman explained that "now, with the enemy's early warning network severely damaged, early warning sirens for attacks will only sound the moment the Israeli entity is hit by missiles."
CNN reported that satellite images of several key military bases in the Arabian Peninsula indicated that radar sites linked to the US THAAD missile defense system were hit in Jordan, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia.

wonderful, right?
As someone who became recently a communist, it's amazing how right we are. For the most part of my life, I've always thought that the US wanted to keep peace around the world while countries such as Russia, China or Iran instigate violence. I'm very glad that I can see now how idiotic I was in the past.

>>2727016How many burger soldiers dead so far?
>>2727037>>2727036Also consider that even if he's not thinking about capturing it, news of strikes on Iranian oil storage and refineries will likely cause prices to spike due to concerns about the global supply. If Iran's oil production capabilities sustain significant damage then this will likely lead to long term inflation of oil prices even after the war.
>>2727039Wow it’s fucking nothing
>>2727046If you aren't at least attending these and agitating around the war you're just as useless as the worst "western leftist" you can imagine. If you're actively discouraging people from organizing opposition then you're practically a glowie.

It’s already abundantly obvious to everyone that the western left is overwhelmingly in favor of the genocide of Iran just as they were for Gaza and Russia, that isn’t news to anyone and it’s what we’ve long come to expect. But these performative little parades with your faggy little corporate slogans like “NO JUSTICE NO PEACE NO KINGS” where you try to absolve yourself of your active participation in the aforementioned genocides are as embarrassing as they are cruel

>>2727054>>2727056What's the difference between you people and somebody who says Iran is doomed, that they can never overcome the military supremacy of the West? Defeatism glows, whether in relation to the war itself or the domestic struggle against it. You're actively promoting the narratives and the interests of the ruling class, which makes you their agents as far as I'm concerned. Anybody who argues says that communists should not be actively organizing and participating in opposition to this war is an asset of the enemy. It should be a bannable offense.
>>2727052>>2727055Like 90% of the American soldiers confirmed dead so far are PoC. They're really being used as cannon fodder lmao.

>>2727067If you actually opposed the war you would be doing coordinated strikes on unguarded weapons factories and assassinations on prominent generals and politicians all of whom have next to no security, and you would have been doing so since 2001.

Bro actually thinks that generals and high ranking politicians in the US have "next to no security" or that killing a few of them would matter. If these guys are so easy to get to and killing them would be do devastating, one wonders why the IRGC haven't done it. Or better yet do it yourself. A mass movement that conducts direct action like strikes, obstructing military movements, encouraging soldiers to defect or refuse deployment, obstructing ports, etc. would be more effective than some Weather Underground LARP that would be swiftly and quietly crushed without having made a difference.

Besides, if there was a strike you'd be there to tell us that it's useless and that we should firebomb a DMV instead. We know this because there have been multiple strikes, acts of sabotage, and occupations of factories/offices in various Western countries in support of Palestine, but here you still are running your mouth.

>>2727148Good catch, but the radar is known to be oriented towards the Houthis themselves. Did they change its direction? Is that possible for that radar?
>>2727150Houthis should target the radar instead if it really is now re-oriented to defend against Iran launches, because it's no longer on them. It's also a stationary target and all of that.

>>2727146Again you have achieved absolutely nothing. Watching you take credit for the achievements of people and workers in other countries with way less say on this who are actually doing the work instead of committing genocide is hilarious. YOU Amerikkkans are directly responsible for every piece of imperialism across the globe. The world would honestly be better if everyone just fought YOU instead of walking ouyghshells to protect your feefees. All you ever manage to do is hold a sign and dance around in a furry costume like you have some kind of humiliation fetish. You keep failing at the exact same tactics instead of trying something effective and I genuinely see no reason why anyone should support you if you can't even muster the idea of going on a strike.
>>2727156I find it hard to believe that the Americans would prioritize a THAAD radar above an aircraft carrier. Even the risk of it being hit might be enough to make them think twice about keeping it in the Red Sea. Assuming the Houthis can actually find and shoot at it of course.

Revolutionary Guard: Wave 28 of "True Promise 4" included new generation multi-warhead missiles
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps confirmed on Sunday that the 28th wave of Operation “True Promise 4” involved the use of new-generation multi-warhead missiles.
The Revolutionary Guard explained in a statement that the missiles used were “Qadr” and “Emad” with warheads weighing from 700 kilograms to one ton, in addition to the “Khaibar Shekan” missile.
The Revolutionary Guard stated that the “Khaibar Shekan” missile, with a range of 1,450 kilometers, has the ability to maneuver until the moment it hits the target, adding that this missile recorded the highest hit rate in previous waves.
The Revolutionary Guard pointed out that with the weakness of the radar and air defense systems of the American-Israeli enemy, these missiles hit their targets more easily.
The Revolutionary Guard launched the 28th wave of Operation "True Promise 4" and targeted areas in Beersheba and Tel Aviv, as well as the infrastructure of the Azraq Air Base, which it described as the largest and most important offensive base for the fighters of what it called "American aggression".
After targeting infrastructure, Iran says: If you can tolerate $200 a barrel of oil, then continue.
The spokesman for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters confirmed on Sunday that the United States and Israel had carried out what he described as "brutal and unlimited" attacks targeting parts of the fuel and energy infrastructure and service centers belonging to the people.
The spokesman explained that this aggression comes after the two sides failed to achieve any accomplishment since the beginning of the aggression against Iran, except for killing innocent children, women, unarmed men and civilians, despite the "weak and hypocritical" claims of siding with and defending the Iranian people.
He pointed out that the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran have so far refrained from taking similar actions, out of concern for the interests of the Muslim peoples in the countries of the region, “despite having intelligence oversight and offensive capabilities that enable them to identify various fuel, energy and public service infrastructures in the region.”
The spokesman called on the governments of Islamic countries to act quickly to warn the United States and the Israeli occupation against committing such inhumane acts, warning that their continuation could lead to a wider war in the region.
He added that failure to stop these attacks would lead to similar measures being taken, saying: If the parties involved can tolerate the price of oil reaching more than $200 a barrel, then let them continue playing this game.
In this context, Goldman Sachs warned of the possibility that oil prices could soon exceed $100 and perhaps $150 by the end of the month, as a result of declining supplies through the Strait of Hormuz due to the US-Israeli escalation with Iran.
ranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf warned that "if the war continues in this manner, there will be no way to sell oil and no ability to produce it," considering that what is happening harms not only the interests of the United States, but also the interests of the countries of the region and the world as a whole.
Earlier on Sunday, the spokesman for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters announced that the Iranian armed forces had destroyed four of the American THAAD system's radars , noting that the Iranian armed forces targeted American THAAD radars at American bases in Arab countries, specifically in the areas of Rabah, Ruwais, Al-Kharj, and Al-Azraq.
>>2727276Hegseth and Trump have been pretty explicit in the last couple of days that the only real objective is "kill as many Iranians as possible"
>The only ones who need to be worried right now are Iranians who think they're gonna live>I dont think there will be anybody left to say "we surrender"Like what is this if not an explicit statement of intent to commit genocide?
>>2727255On the English-speaking Internet.
>>2727284Iran has 80 million people. I think they're gonna have to try a bit harder if the goal is genocide. You're right though this war has like no actual goal besides being an excuse to send more money to Israel and the MIC to rebuild everything Iran destroyed.
>>2727284I kinda discarded the possibility a priori because I don't understand why would they do that.
I guess I'm too much of a goodcel and not satanpilled enough to fathom actual evil like this even existing.

Whether the genocide happens all at once or slowly and painfully it'll be accomplished all the same.

since the IRI regime is a theocracy I do not rule out some retarded shit like them trying to get the rest of the muslim countries in the region to go jihad mode on israel, by showing them america won't defend them as they do with israel
as materialists we know this is fucking retarded but zealots gonna zeal
Ali Larijani:
>"Tonight, a large number of US troops, including two high ranking generals, fell into the hands of the forces of the Iranian Revolution."
Are they going to release proof? I don't like the way Iran's play is degenerating into hesitation (Israel's desalination plants), repeated threats, and last year's Twitter claims.
>>2727372Leaving aside the fact that Israel in particular is known to engage in the most viscious lies to justify their despicable actions, if you take the claims of a belligerent government in any war at face value then you are an idiot. It's as simple as that. You might as well insist that Hamas is hiding rockets under hospitals, or that kids throwing rocks in the West Bank are terrorists who the IDF justifiably shot in self defense. The fact that you would take these people at their word after everything proves you're either an idiot or an active partisan of the imperialists. This isn't even getting into the fact that "We're going win, they'll give up any minute, we just need more bombing" is the cope the US has used in every one of its failed colonial wars.

>>2727376israel is much harder to reach and gulf arabs are way more incompetent
Botched comms from Pez and restraint cucking from Iran's commanders in full play ever since Putin's phone call. Everything was perfect up until that point.
>>2727400>transliterate the name two different waysDo they really?
>>2727160>1,929 people have been hospitalised, including 157 in the past 24 hoursThat's a helpful data point assuming all the hospitalisations reported are war-related
For an 8-day war we expect 1/8 of casualties to have occurred in the past 24 hours, or a ratio of .125
The observed ratio is around .83, still around 2/3 of expected, which suggests Resistance operations are not nearly as degraded as charts like this suggest
>>2727322 >>2727392>israel is much harder to reach and gulf arabs are way more incompetentThey've been scoring pin-point attacks in Israel and have hypersonic missiles. If they're leaving Israel's desalination plants alone despite the US/Israel hitting Iran's plants, it's a political or military decision, not a lack of capability.
>>2727386>two high ranking generalsWhat do you think?
It could go either way if "general" is just translated and doesn't actually mean the rank. But two actual generals?
>>2727403What Iranian claims have I taken at face value? I've never put forward a claim about specific figures for casualties, munitions stockpiles, etc. At most I've just relayed things I've read that even Western media admits to, or stated general truisms about war like how belligerents hide their own casualties and inflate those of their enemies.
>>2727367Agreed. With Gaza you could easily tell war crimes were being committed, systematically, and on purpose because of all the footage, but here there's plausible deniability of "oh we didn't mean to hit that/we didn't hit that the other side did"

Qalibaf: We will target the enemy's infrastructure if this type of warfare begins against us.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf asserted that the current confrontation represents "a war between right and wrong, and between the oppressor and the oppressed," emphasizing that Iranians are present on the ground with their beliefs and faith.
Qalibaf added that "the enemy's superiority in its air force is countered by Iran's possession of a missile force capable of carrying out attacks in various ways and methods, noting that the enemy is currently facing a new missile force."
He said that the Israeli entity has been accustomed over the past eight decades to following a cycle based on "war - negotiations - peace - war", considering that it is now seeking to bring Iran into this cycle.
He stressed that Tehran is not seeking a ceasefire agreement and will not allow itself to be drawn into a "cycle of annihilation," emphasizing that the current confrontation is a fundamental and existential war in light of the enemy's efforts to fragment and destroy Iran.
He argued that the United States must realize that peace is not necessarily achieved under the shadow of force, calling on the countries of the world and the region to be aware that the economic repercussions of the war imposed by Washington and the Israeli occupation on the region will affect everyone.
Qalibaf pointed out that despite the war conditions, the Assembly of Experts in Iran is working to pave the way for the election of the next leader as quickly and accurately as possible, in order to ensure the continuation of political stability in the country.
He also called on the countries of the region, global public opinion, and international organizations to do their duty regarding what he described as American arrogance, stressing that US President Donald Trump believes he can impose what he wants by force, but the Iranian people will continue to fight and resist and will not submit to injustice or humiliation.
Qalibaf: Washington has become a tool in Netanyahu's hands… and any attack on Iran will be met with a decisive response.
In an interview with Iranian television, Qalibaf said that the United States has become a tool in the hands of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, adding that "Netanyahu is running US President Donald Trump as he pleases."
He explained that "the enemy started the war based on a false perception of Iran, based on the belief that assassinating leaders in the first stage would achieve a fundamental accomplishment and lead to a quick victory through a short-term lightning war."
Qalibaf added that Iran has a specific plan for this war, and that the country has proceeded in full accordance with this plan over the past ten days, stressing that various sectors have received clear instructions and that the course of the war is progressing according to the established program.
He pointed out that when Iranian missiles were launched towards an American aircraft carrier, it was forced to move away and increase the distance, which reduced its operational range, due to "the serious danger posed by Iranian firepower."
He pointed out that some neighboring countries "promised to control the enemy elements," stressing that this is currently evident in the southeast and northwest of the country.
He also stressed that Iran’s relations with the countries of the region would remain based on friendship, but warned that any country that puts its territory at the disposal of the Americans would be subject to retaliation, stressing that any territory from which an attack on Iran is launched “will be met with a decisive response.”
Regarding the developments in the confrontation, Qalibaf said that the enemy had begun targeting Iranian energy storage facilities, considering this to be an "infrastructure war," warning that any such action would have a price, and that if the enemy started this war, Iran would target its infrastructure without delay.
Iran continues to attack US bases in the region and the Israeli occupation despite the ongoing aggression against it since February 28. In this context, the Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters indicated on Sunday that the failure to stop the attacks on infrastructure will lead to similar measures being taken.
>>2727436No opening of Hormuz until American/Israeli spooks deliver Bibi's head on a platter to burn with the next statue of Baal. Anything less is a cuckout.
>>2727440Honestly if there's anything that will convince the American ruling class that this war is fruitless it will be the huge hit to their bottom line caused by oil prices.
Khamenei's son has been appointed as the new Rahbar
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Greetings and God's blessings be upon the noble and free people of Islamic Iran.
🔲 The Assembly of Experts of the Leadership, while expressing condolences on the martyrdom of the great leader His Eminence Ayatollah Imam Khamenei (may God sanctify his pure soul) and other esteemed martyrs, especially the high-ranking commanders and devoted members of the armed forces and the students of Shajareh Tayybeh School in Minab County, and condemning the brutal aggression of the criminal America and the wicked Zionist regime, hereby informs that immediately after the news of the martyrdom and heavenly ascension of the wise and prudent leader of the Islamic Revolution, despite the severe wartime conditions and direct threats from enemies against this popular institution and the bombing of the offices of the Secretariat of the Assembly of Experts of the Leadership, which resulted in the martyrdom of several staff members and the security team of this body, the Assembly did not hesitate for a moment in the process of selecting and introducing the leadership of the Islamic system. According to the duties stipulated in the Constitution and the internal regulations of the Assembly of Experts, necessary measures and arrangements for holding an extraordinary session and introducing the new leader were put on the agenda. Appropriate planning and coordination were carried out for the gathering of the honorable representatives of this Assembly, who are present in various parts of the country, so that despite the intelligent provisions in Article 111 of the Constitution for the formation of a temporary council, the country would not face a leadership vacuum.
🔲 The Assembly of Experts of the Leadership, valuing the high position of the Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist in the era of the occultation of the Imam Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance) and the importance of the leadership issue in the Islamic Republic system, honors 47 years of wise governance based on the principles of dignity, independence, and authority of the Imams of the Revolution. While commemorating the memory of those divine and popular leaders, it declares that after thorough and extensive review and utilizing the capacity of Article 108 of the Constitution, in accordance with its religious duty and belief in being in the presence of Almighty God, in today's extraordinary session, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei (may God preserve him) is appointed and introduced as the third leader of the sacred system of the Islamic Republic of Iran by the decisive vote of the honorable representatives of the Assembly of Experts of the Leadership.
🔲 In conclusion, with appreciation for the members of the temporary council under Article 111 of the Constitution, it invites all the noble people of Iran, especially the elites and intellectuals of the seminary and university, to pledge allegiance to the leadership and maintain unity around the axis of the Guardianship. It also requests the continued grace and favor of the Almighty God upon this country and its great people.
Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you

>Iran has 'betrayed all of us' but all sides must de-escalate, says Qatar PMSheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani described Iran's strikes on Gulf countries as a "dangerous miscalculation", warning the escalation risks destabilising the region and sending shockwaves through the global economy.
Speaking to the media for the first time since Qatar has come under repeated missile and drone attacks, the prime minister said the country had entered what he called "a very difficult period" but praised the professionalism of its defence and security forces.
For a man who has mediated some of the world's most complex crises, what stood out to me was how angry he was about Iran's actions.
"It is a big sense of betrayal," he told me. "Just an hour after the start of the war, Qatar and other Gulf countries have been attacked. We made clear that we were not going to take part in any wars against our neighbours."
For a country that has long kept diplomatic channels open with Tehran - even during the most volatile moments - the tone was striking. Qatar has traditionally positioned itself as a global mediator, able to speak to everyone. That relationship with Tehran now appears strained.
"All the attacks on the Gulf countries - we never expected this from our neighbour," he said. "We have always tried to preserve a good relationship with Iran, but the justifications and pretexts they are using are completely rejected."
Yet even as he condemned the strikes, the prime minister repeatedly stressed that military escalation would only deepen the crisis - and that the responsibility to step back lies with all sides.
"We continue to seek de-escalation," he said. "They are our neighbours - it's our destiny
His message was directed not only at Tehran. He also called on the United States to reduce tensions, warning of the risk that the entire region slides into war.
Diplomacy, he argued, remains the only viable path out of the crisis.
"The miscalculation by the Iranians to attack Gulf countries has destroyed everything," he said, but insisted the answer now must be renewed negotiations.
He also pushed back against claims that Iran's strikes were aimed at military targets.
International airports, water utilities and gas infrastructure have all been in Tehran's crosshairs.
"Twenty-five percent of the attacks are targeting civilian facilities. What has this got to do with the war? What do they want to achieve?"
Over and over again, the prime minister returned to the global stakes - and that what happens in the Gulf won't stay in the Gulf. Qatar supplies roughly 20 percent of the world's gas and is one of the planet's largest fertiliser producers - meaning any sustained disruption would impact markets, food supplies and people worldwide.
Even as the Gulf states insist this is not their fight, however, they are an integral aspect of it.
And that, perhaps, is the central danger of this moment - a war that began between the United States, Israel and Iran is now dragging in countries that want no part of it, but increasingly find themselves on its front lines.
https://news.sky.com/story/iran-has-betrayed-us-but-all-sides-must-de-escalate-says-qatar-pm-13517019 >>2727439lotta threats. they need to start acting on them.
>He said that the Israeli entity has been accustomed over the past eight decades to following a cycle based on "war - negotiations - peace - war", considering that it is now seeking to bring Iran into this cycle.reading between the lines, i hope that what he is saying is that their goal is to cripple USA-Israel in the region for at least a couple decades. in order to do this they need to destroy refineries, ports, military bases, airports. if that is their plan they need to get on with it
Why khamenei's failson of all people
>>2727427how are migapedes on /pol/ coping rn
>>2727455sounds like Putin's red lines, china's final warnings, or the purple flag of vengeance. it should be obvious that at this point unless backed up by force for the west it doesnt take much of it seriously any more
>>2727452>From London to Pyongyang to Vietnam to Gaza and now IranWhen will these fuckers learn that indiscriminately bombing and terrorizing the civilian population makes them even MORE patriotic and eager to defend their current government rather than overthrow them???
Has this shit ever worked at any point in history???

>>2727465There seems to be scarce info about him, even the wikipedia article is quite short. Seems like a dark horse. He did fight in the Iraq-Iran war and is rumored to have deep connections with IRGC
>>2727381like every single person his age fought in Iran-Iraq. The memories of a desperate war for the survival of the Islamic Republic are deeply ingrained. I doubt they hold as much salience for the younger generation, but hopefully now they are learning the lesson quickly
People around here are used to all Jazeera shilling for Hamas/Hezbollah etc as it aligns with being anti Israel but now that Iran is all out bombing literally every Muslim country surrounding them al Jazeera is definitely going to post anti iran stuff. Al Jazeera has a big impact on global views in the Muslim world.
As you see here the Qatar pm says today that Iran betrayed them and that Iran is targeting civilians in Qatar directly, not just military targets. Make whatever cope you want about this and say Iran would be disliked anyway. Nah. Iran fucked up going this far with this.
>>2727450

>>2727476Wow you are so cool and edgy
>>2727376the hit that destroyed their plant came from bahrein, so they hit the bahrein plant back
its a straightforward way to incite the golf countries to kick out the americans if they do not want to suffer the tit for tat retaliation
>>2727470why is this surprising? Moodi went to the knesset
>>2727479it's not work at least not yet. gulf leaders keep going on television and saying that they condemn Iran for retaliating and not USA-Israel for starting the war
>>2727479>We will bomb the tools you use to give your people basics necessities like drinking water. We are the good guys here Take a moment to think about what you are advocating for
>>2727486The more things change the more they stay the same
>>2727479So since Putin's magic phone call, we've seen a sudden degeneration into
- demoralizing "good guy" statements from Pez
- hesitation (not hitting Israel's desalination plants)
- threats that aren't manifesting
- claims about captured US troops (including two high-ranking generals) from Larijani that aren't backed up by released footage of their interrogation or anything
- attacking the Ukraine-like proxy (Bahrain) instead of the primary aggressors US/Israel
I don't like it. Hopefully we at least get a Black Monday from the Hormuz closure.

Choosing Mojtaba Khamenei as leader is ‘act of defiance’ from Iran
The choice of Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran’s new supreme leader is a signal of both continuity and rebellion among Iran’s clerical leaders, an analyst has told Al Jazeera.
“This is kind of an act of defiance … telling the Americans and Israelis, ‘You wanted to get rid of our system? Well, in your face, this is a more radical person than his father who was assassinated'”, said Rami Khouri, a political analyst and journalist-in-residence at the American University of Beirut
“This is a sign of continuity, and we’ll see what that brings,” he added.
Who is Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran’s new supreme leader
Mojtaba Khamenei is the second son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed on the first day of the war with the United States and Israel.
Mojtaba Khamenei has never run for office or been subjected to a public vote, but has for decades been a highly influential figure in the inner circle of the supreme leader, cultivating deep ties to the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
In recent years, he has increasingly been touted as a top potential replacement for his father.
The 56-year-old younger Khamenei has never discussed the issue of succession publicly.
Israel army chief calls for ‘patience’ says war could last ‘much longer’
Israel’s military chief has warned the state of emergency in the country could last “much longer” as war wracks the Middle East.
“Israel has been under a state of emergency for two years; we must expect it to take much longer – patience is required,” Lieutenant-General Eyal Zamir said in video released by the military.
He said Hezbollah will “continue to pay a heavy price” for attacking Israel.
“Overnight, we acted against Iranian forces of the Quds Force in Lebanon in Beirut and hit them. I tell you that there is no safe place for the arms of Iranian evil, anywhere in the Middle East, not in Beirut and not anywhere else,” said Zamir.
Two Israeli soldiers were killed earlier in Hezbollah attacks.
“We experienced quite a bit of fire toward the northern communities, and there was also an incident during the night,” Zamir added, referring to the troop deaths.

>>2727496Irrelevant. Al Jazeera is now way more motivated now to post anti iran things since Iran is directly bombing all the surrounding Muslim countries including Qatar who owns Al Jazeera. Before they did not have such an incentive to publish anti iran things.
>>2727492Build The Wall is old hat, we're building towers now.
>>2727455>lotta threats. they need to start acting on them.This. As I've said, this started happening only in the last day or two, along with the appeaser statements from Pez. Everything was great until then. Now Iran is fighting like Russia: threats that aren't followed through on, lack of reciprocation (no desalination plants in Israel bombed in return for the one taken out in Iran… Bahrain scapegoated instead), weak statements from the president about "brotherly nations," etc.

Wow! This is huge. Over 93% of MAGA support this glorious war against Iran. With something this popular going into the midterms, it’s going to be a red mega tsunami! The dems don’t stand a chance with how well Trump is doing as president by saving israel!
With polling numbers that high, boots on the ground will be highly appreciated.

Mr. Mojtaba Khamenei is the leader of the revolution and the republic in Iran… What should you know?
On Sunday, March 8, 2026, the Assembly of Experts in Iran elected Mr. Mojtaba Khamenei as the leader of the revolution and the republic in Iran, succeeding the martyred leader of the nation, Mr. Ali Khamenei.
The name of Mr. Mojtaba Khamenei has been one of the most prominent names in political discussions inside and outside Iran in recent years, due to his position close to the center of decision-making in the Islamic Republic, and his direct connection to the religious and political leadership institution in the country.
With the increasing analyses addressing the future of leadership in Iran recently, following the martyrdom of the nation’s leader, Mr. Ali Khamenei, the name of his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, has emerged in many political studies and readings as an influential figure within the circles of the regime, combining traditional religious formation and broad political relations within state institutions that qualify him to play an effective role in this position, especially during a period in which Iran is witnessing a historic moment and existential threats.
The importance of studying his personal and political career increases in light of the nature of the Iranian political system, which is based on the theory of the Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist, which gives the supreme religious authority a pivotal role in leading the state and determining its strategic directions.
In this context, reading the biography of Mr. Mojtaba Khamenei, in terms of his family upbringing and religious formation, in addition to his presence within the structure of the Iranian regime, and the factors that made his name present in discussions related to the future of leadership in the Islamic Republic, gives a clear picture of the reasons that led to his selection in such circumstances.
<Origins and family background
Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei was born in 1969 in Mashhad, one of the most prominent religious cities in Iran and the Islamic world, home to the shrine of Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Rida (peace be upon him). He is the second son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has led Iran since 1989, succeeding the founder of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei grew up in a religious and political environment directly linked to the institutions of the Islamic Revolution. His childhood coincided with the early years following the 1979 revolution, a period marked by profound transformations in the structure of the Iranian state and its political system. This environment shaped his intellectual and political development from a young age, connecting him to the culture of the Islamic Revolution and its religious and political institutions, and providing him with early exposure to the decision-making mechanisms within the new state.
<Religious studies and scientific training
Like many sons of religious families in Iran, Mr. Mojtaba Khamenei turned at an early age to studying religious sciences in the city of Qom, which is the most prominent center of Shiite seminaries in the world.
Study in religious seminaries is based on multiple stages, beginning with the study of introductions and intermediate levels in jurisprudence and principles, then reaching the stage of “advanced research”, which is the highest level in seminary studies where students discuss jurisprudential theories in an independent analytical manner.
During his studies, Mr. Mojtaba Khamenei received instruction from a number of prominent scholars at the Qom seminary and participated in jurisprudential and legal theory study circles, which are an essential part of the training of clerics in the Shia school of thought. This extensive educational path is a prerequisite for any religious figure aspiring to the rank of ijtihad in Shia jurisprudence, a rank that allows a jurist to issue religious rulings independently.
In the Iranian political system, this religious background acquires added importance, because the position of supreme leadership in the country is theoretically linked to its holder being a jurist capable of practicing ijtihad within the framework of the theory of the Guardianship of the Jurist.
From this standpoint, the seminary path that Mr. Mojtaba Khamenei has taken as part of a religious and intellectual formation is what essentially qualifies him to play larger religious and political roles within the Iranian regime.
<Iran-Iraq War Years
The youth of Mr. Mojtaba Khamenei coincided with the Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988), which is considered one of the most influential phases in the history of the Islamic Republic, as it played a fundamental role in shaping the political and military identity of the Iranian regime after the revolution.
The war broke out after the Iraqi invasion of Iranian territory in September 1980 and lasted eight years, contributing to widespread mobilization within Iranian society. Hundreds of thousands of young people participated on the battlefronts or in the popular mobilization institutions that supported the war effort, within a military system that included the regular army and the Revolutionary Guard Corps, which was established after the revolution as one of the main pillars for defending the new regime.
At that time, coinciding with the end of his secondary education, Mr. Mojtaba Khamenei joined forces affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Some sources indicate that he served in a unit known as the Habib Battalion, a unit comprised of volunteers from networks connected to the revolutionary movement in Iran, which was part of the IRGC's combat formations during the war. Other sources indicate that his military service took place within formations affiliated with the 27th Division of the IRGC, where he participated in field operations.
This early military experience is particularly important for understanding the network of relationships he later forged within Iran's security and military institutions. Several individuals who served alongside him during that period later rose to leadership positions in the security, intelligence, and Revolutionary Guard apparatuses helped build personal and political ties that endured for many years within the regime's structure.
For many in Iran’s political elite, the Iran-Iraq War was a formative experience that played a crucial role in shaping a generation of leaders associated with the culture of “sacred defense,” the term the Islamic Republic uses to describe that war. This experience has become part of the regime’s political narrative and has contributed to strengthening the position of military institutions, particularly the Revolutionary Guard, within the Iranian state structure.
In this context, Mr. Mojtaba Khamenei’s experience during the war years is seen as one of the early milestones that helped build his relationships within the security and military networks, relationships whose effects and influence later became apparent through his presence within the leadership office of the Islamic Republic.
<presence within decision-making circles
Although Mr. Mojtaba Khamenei has not held an official position within the power structure of the Islamic Republic of Iran, his name has been associated over the past two decades with decision-making circles close to the office of his father, Mr. Ali Khamenei, which has made him a prominent figure in many analyses of the power structure within Iran and its mechanisms of operation.
Over the past years, Mr. Mojtaba Khamenei has played unofficial roles within the office of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, participating in coordinating some internal political matters and contributing to managing communication channels between the leadership office and a number of influential institutions in the state, particularly in matters related to political balances within the system.
Mr. Mojtaba Khamenei possesses a wide network of relationships within the conservative movement in Iran, in addition to his connections with several influential circles within state institutions, including those affiliated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. His proximity to the leadership has enabled him to cultivate relationships with religious, political, and security figures within the regime, thus bolstering his influence even in the absence of any official position within the state structure.
This informal role reflects the nature of the power structure in Iran, where centers of influence are not limited to constitutional positions or official institutions, but also include networks of political and religious relationships that intersect within state institutions and play an important role in decision-making within the Iranian political system.
<His name in internal political discussions
Mr. Mojtaba Khamenei’s name has become more prominent in political discussions within Iran since the first decade of the new millennium, particularly during the events that the country witnessed following the 2009 presidential elections.
That period constituted one of the most sensitive moments in the political life of the Islamic Republic, as the country witnessed a state of sharp political polarization, which prompted state institutions to work to contain the crisis and maintain the stability of the political system.
In this context, Mr. Mojtaba emerged as one of the figures who were part of the efforts made by state institutions to maintain the cohesion of the regime and prevent the worsening of the political turmoil.
From his close position within the office of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, he also contributed to efforts aimed at consolidating internal stability and containing the political tensions of that period. In this context, he played a role in coordinating positions among several political and security institutions, as well as helping to bridge the gaps between different viewpoints within the pro-regime political camp.
This important milestone marked the emergence of his name within discussions related to the power structure in Iran, as it demonstrated his presence within informal networks close to the decision-making center, which sometimes play a role in managing political crises within the state.
Since that time, the name of Mr. Mojtaba Khamenei has been frequently present in matters concerning the balance of power within the Islamic Republic, as well as in discussions regarding the role that figures close to the leadership establishment can play in managing political transformations and maintaining the stability of the regime.
<Between the religious institution and the state structure
Mr. Mojtaba’s personality is distinguished by its position at an important intersection between the religious and political institutions in Iran, an intersection that largely reflects the nature of the political system in the Islamic Republic, which combines religious authority and political power within a single framework.
From a religious perspective, Mojtaba Khamenei belongs to the seminary in Qom, the foremost center of Shi'a religious studies in Iran and the Islamic world. He spent many years studying traditional religious sciences, including jurisprudence (fiqh) and its principles (usul al-fiqh), the core subjects in the formation of a jurist within the seminary system. He continued his studies at the advanced level of "Bahth al-Kharij," where students debate senior jurists on matters of independent legal reasoning (ijtihad) and develop their ability to deduce rulings independently.
In the scholarly tradition of Shi'a seminaries, the stage of "advanced research" (bahth al-kharij) represents the step preceding attainment of the rank of ijtihad, a rank that qualifies a jurist to issue religious rulings independently. Although Sayyid Mujtaba Khamenei is not yet considered among the prominent religious authorities in the seminary, he has reached an advanced level of scholarship within the seminary's curriculum and has participated in scholarly circles supervised by a number of leading jurists.
This religious path is linked to a broader debate within Iran regarding the qualifications for the highest leadership position in the country. According to the Iranian constitution, the position of Supreme Leader is based on the doctrine of Velayat-e Faqih (Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist), which stipulates that the leadership of the state should be held by a jurist possessing both religious knowledge and the ability to manage the affairs of society. While explicit religious authority is no longer as crucial as it once was, a strong jurisprudential background remains an important factor in the legitimacy of leadership, a quality possessed by Ayatollah Mojtaba.
From a political and security perspective, Mr. Mojtaba Khamenei is viewed as a figure close to the networks of influence within the state. This informal presence has contributed to strengthening his position within the circle of influence, as his proximity to the leadership institution has allowed him access to the mechanisms of decision-making within the state, in addition to building a network of relationships with influential religious, political, and security figures within the regime's structure.
In light of these factors, the emergence of Mr. Mojtaba Khamenei’s name in discussions concerning the future of leadership in Iran, especially when addressing the balance of power within the regime, was not arbitrary, nor was it based on family ties. Rather, it was because Mr. Mojtaba was able to combine a religious background with political relations within state institutions, which makes some influential figures within the regime, and even the press, media, and political circles, view him as a figure theoretically and practically capable of playing a greater role in the future.
Thus, the personality of Mr. Mojtaba Khamenei, through his position between the religious seminary and the surrounding state institutions, reflects one of the models that embody the nature of the Iranian political system itself, where religious authority intersects with the political and security structure within a single system that combines religious doctrine and the central state.
<Leader of the Islamic Revolution and Republic, Mr. Mojtaba Khamenei
At a pivotal moment in the history of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Assembly of Experts announced the election of Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei as Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution and the Islamic Republic, succeeding his father, the martyred Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who led the country for decades. This selection comes at a highly sensitive time, coinciding with the escalation of US-Israeli aggression against Iran and the Resistance Axis in West Asia, making the issue of leadership continuity and political stability a central concern within the system. The election of Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei in this context is seen as a step aimed at preserving the path of the Islamic Revolution established by Imam Ruhollah Khomeini in 1979 and continued under the leadership of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
By electing Ayatollah Mojtaba, Iran's constitutional institutions recognized that his religious seminary background, his experience in managing state affairs, and his close ties to the regime's institutions formed a suitable foundation for assuming leadership at a time demanding stability and continuity in the face of existential threats. His rise to leadership also comes within the context of personal and familial sacrifices intertwined with the trajectory of the Islamic Republic of Iran, particularly in the face of ongoing aggression. These experiences are presented in Iranian political discourse as an extension of a long history of confronting external pressures and defending Iran's independent decision-making.
With his election as Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei begins a new phase in the history of Iranian leadership, a phase where regional challenges and dangers intersect with major international transformations. In this context, the new leadership is viewed as a continuation of the Islamic Revolution's approach and a further link in its revolutionary path, which has prioritized the independence of Iranian political, economic, and social decision-making, support for liberation movements, and the defense of the causes of peoples in the region, particularly the Palestinians.
Thus, the Islamic Republic presents its third leader, Mr. Mojtaba Khamenei, at a time when the country is facing American-Israeli aggression, relying on the legacy of the revolution and on the experience of decades of political and strategic events in the region, in an attempt not only to maintain the stability of the state, vut also to maintain its leading role in the region in the face of American-Israeli hegemony, which the revolution was originally established to confront.

>>2727607>The Iranians aren't close to defeat but the US and Israel are much, much farther from it.The U.S is already defeated. There’s no “winning” Iran. They already won at the negotiation table but blew that up and instead of destroyed the global economy for decades to come. They turned Iran from the only rational actor in the Middle East into mountain fortress of resistance that has solidified around a much more anti-U.S and Israel leader. If the desalination plants are blown up we’re going to see a refugee crisis that hasn’t been seen since like WW2. They’ll all go straight to Europe, no region in the gulf will have the water to support them.

WOMP WOMP
=New supreme leader choice makes US-Israel war ‘even more senseless’==
The choice of Ayatollah Khamenei’s son as Iran’s top leader has raised questions about the decision to attack by the US and Israel and replace one hardliner with another, an analyst says.
“It’s a real finger in the eye of Donald Trump who previously said he didn’t want Mojtaba Khamenei,” said Barbara Slavin from the Stimson Institute.
“So it makes the whole US-Israeli war even more senseless, to kill Ayatollah Khamenei and simply get his son in his place – somebody whose going to be furious, of course, at the murder of his father, his mother, his wife, and one of his children in the Israeli strike just a week ago.”
Slavin noted Mojtaba has been ruling with his father for years, “and given the existential threat that the Islamic Republic faces, it seems quite logical to put [him] there because he knows everyone and everything”.
However, she added, “he’s not someone who seems likely to bring more human rights and democracy to Iran”.

>>2727636The US cannot be meaningfully hurt by Iran though. Iran's economic blackmail has already fizzled out and the Houthis refuse to shut down their gulf. Iran's vaunted Ballistic Missile stockpile is worthless while Israel and the US can attack with complete impunity and walk away unscathed.

>>2727675The last time we had a shock this bad was during the Iraq war, which led to oil companies making even more money. America controls over 50% of the world's oil supply now. They cannot be meaningfully blackmailed by the Iranians.
>>2727671People keep saying this is different (tm), it's a doomsday scenario, etc., but if so, the oil markets don't believe it YET (2022 was worse). The markets are concerned but not as concerned as they've been in recent years. I'm using the $140 yardstick from 2022. Once it crosses that, then I'll be more interested, but so far the markets are considering a cuckout at least equally likely.

>>2727693No one, not even the Israelis, is saying that Iran is OUT of missiles. What they are saying, and what evidence clearly shows, is that Iranian launch rates are consistently down as their forces are heavily attrited by US-Israeli airstrikes, which Iran cannot stop.
Iran will impotently fire it's ballistics for a while longer and deal no significant damage. Meanwhile the US and Israel have basically infinite JDAMs and ALL of them are dealing massive damage to Iran. The skies of Tehran are filled with oil while life in Tel Aviv continues on unchanged.
>>2727706You know Xi isn't interested in anything too provocative :-S
>>2727661What does knifing America have to do with Ukraine in 2022?
>>2727713The fear was that Russia would kill energy exports to the West. He didn't.
The smaller fear here is that Iran will keep Hormuz closed, but we're already seeing signs of deescalation.
>>2727703Okay yeah, I mean all media is ultimately beholden to the ruling class. When I imagine an enormous amount of pro gulf, pro US bias I'm thinking something like Al Arabiya
>>2727724>>2727709US oil is expensive as fuck and is deeply subsidized. Retards.
>>2727710I don't know why I'm replying to a tuned gpt bot but strikes were way up today as reported by the US and Israel.
>>2727536Same in Arabic, they’re weirdly unbiased. They run articles about how Gulfies feel betrayed etc, yet the actual reporting is slightly pro-Iran. I highly respect them for that, considering Qatar is being bombed.
>However, the US and Israel are still looking for new ways to escalate kinetically. From Axios in U.S. weighs sending special forces to seize Iran’s nuclear stockpile:
>>The U.S. and Israel have discussed sending special forces into Iran to secure its stockpile of highly enriched uranium at a later stage of the war, according to four sources with knowledge of the discussions.
>If the IAEA were involved in such an operation, this would confirm it is not a good faith actor. Iran-connected sources contended that the IAEA assisted in the assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists by providing information about their whereabouts.
>Now assuming this raid is executed and does not become Bay of Pigs 2.0, Trump’s team may intend to use this as a cross between the Caracas raid and pre-negotiated “obliteration” strikes on Iranian nuclear site, which ended the 12 Day War. Trump might declare victory and stop attacking and expect Iran to stand down.But even if that is what transpires, it solves nothing for Iran. First, Israel is sure to regard this resolution as unsatisfactory since they want to eliminate Iranian missiles, and better yet, balkanize Iran. So Israel is sure to find a way to resume a hot conflict as soon as possible. Second, after reaffirming that he had indeed “obliterated” the nuclear sites last year, Trump has recently maintained that somehow the Iranians are very far along with rebuilding their enrichment program.
>We discussed earlier what a nutty idea the idea of taking Kharg Island, first voiced publicly by Keith Kellogg, is. Look at a map. It is in the north end of the Persian Gulf. Daniel Davis and others have discussed long form that sending a convoy open the Strait of Hormuz was asking for a turkey shoot of US vessels. This sort of operation would be that, cubed.
>Nevertheless, there are more signs of force mobilization[…]https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2026/03/iran-war-more-trump-bluster-as-us-and-israel-weapon-stocks-thin-and-claims-of-success-questioned-report-of-plans-to-send-special-forces-to-seize-nuclear-material-among-signs-of-us-troop-mobilization.html >>2728525Iran's best chance by far would be to bait America into a ground invasion, which they could then grind down with endless guerrilla warfare from their mountains ala Afghanistan but with A LOT more and better weapons for the guerrillas.
Hezbollah uses tactics it learned from, then taught to Iran. Most of what they do is IED followed up almost immediately by an infantry ambush at close range. You have to fight at close range against these western pattern armies because their fire support is so devastating. If you're right on top of them, they can't call in any airstrikes, so you can fight them man to man. At that point, the element of surprise counts for a lot and pre-positioned infantry ambushes can cause massive damage.
If Iran can bait America into a ground invasion then they can actually WIN this war, instead of just surviving it.
>>2728550I dunno I think the western armies infantry is gonna be very vulnerable to getting attacked by light quadcopter FPV's and I'd be surprised if Iranian forces don't have them.
Western militaries are just still used to the idea that they're going to have dramatic technological advantage over their opponents and this simply isn't true anymore.
