Iran Crisis & the 2026 War between Iran and the United States, Gulf States, and Israel - Please focus on news and coverage, not argumentation.

[Boney]

These are all things that would be excellent for Israel's security situation, the Syrian civil war did not spill over into Israel,

Nah.

Iran is going to get a few seasons of terrorism but it's got all the necessary elements to be a functional country. They are well aware of the fact they would be materially better off with an alignmemt with the West. Think post Iraq not post/current Syria.

Iraq is a (shitty) ally to this day with semi-functional government that has its usual Muslim shithole issues and idiosynchrisies. Iran can 100% end the same way, with potential to be much more.

We gonna be bombing them for a hot minute though, will for sure be doing some tactical insertions too. We got a good number more theocratical wannabes to off before we are situated to facilitate that type of change.

Late but I found it amusing:


Apparently the "that MI-17 was a decoy" psyop got enough traction the Russo/Chinese propaganda peddlers are now claiming videos from last year are "advanced 3D thermal painting" decoys and newly released. This slop is getting reposted around word-for-word.

No word yet on why these magical thermal paintings demonstrate parallax, of course.

 

[Dojima's Dragon]

@Dojima's Dragon Say yes and I'll add more Iran content to my mod.

Aight mate, I don't actually play these kinda games you mod stuff to but thanks proud indian warrior! May you strike terror into the bloody paki bastards with maximum damage to their IZZAT!

The Iranians are alot of thing but one thing they arent is unpatriotic, we killed their 86 year old leader in his house during one of if not the most holy of their religious holidays in the middle of peace negations with no warning and no provocation.

Yes, the cocksucker who is WIDELY HATED BY THE FUCKING POPULACE THAT DOESN'T EVEN FAST for destroying the country and KILLED 30 FUCKING THOUSAND OF HIS OWN PEOPLE! yes this cocksucker is totally well liked, ignore all the iranians celebrating his death,those are all mossad agents yes?

I heard Jews are experts when it comes to digging underground, dunno who they were trying to deceive with that.

I am a Jew and I dig in a hole. Diggy diggy hole. Diggy diggy hole.

Ohh it’s like watching a child get the shit kicked out of them. The Yak-130 is painfully outclassed by the F-35 or even the new prop Skyraider. It’s a trainer and light fighter. Its small. No idea why they were even up since they don't even stand a chance against drones.

They’re in the stage of throw everything that’s left at the enemy. I pity the fool that has to fly that.

I´m fucking tired seeing about people bitching "International Law" about the Iran WARSHIP sunk by an USS Submarine.

This fucking people don´t remember the Unrestricted Submarine warfare that the Nazis had or even when the Japanese sunk an USS ship they kill all the survivors on site in 1941-42.

I´m not even american, but in a state of war, nobody gives a fuck about being in international waters anymore. And that its when the Iranians fuck it up, when the declared war on Israel/USA. That mean the gloves are off.

Also even if some fucking Europeans does not like it, "International Law" was made by the League of Nations or the ONU (in modern times) meaning the fucking USA did it.

US sub: I’ll fucking do it again.

Canada says maybe they’ll join the fray.

Also what's the issue with a refugee crisis, Israel doesn't receive refugees from these wars, you can just send them to Europe.

"Iran has the right to defend itself" mfers when Iran bombs another apartment block in a neighbouring country that did absolutely nothing:

Help me Kafir. I am poor victim. Never hurt anyone. I really really really really really really really promise I won’t kill you after.

The Ayatollah of Tel Aviv has issued a fatwa declaring major parts of the Lebanese capitol Beirut no go zones

The Lebanese governments declaration of total Hezbollah death has extended to the Iranians, while this doesn't mean they will do anything at all, its still an openly hostile declaration
View attachment 8656937

What ever is left of Hezbollah is either looking to die in a bunker or die in southern Lebanon
View attachment 8656940

I wonder if the IDF intends to drive up to Beirut this time, or else just bomb it as they usually do. May depend on how serious the Lebanese Army is about kicking Hezbollah out. The vibe of this war is definitely the culmination of a lot of maneuvering. USA and Israel are playing for all the marbles now. There is nowhere left to go on the escalation ladder.

 

[Chongqing]

These are all things that would be excellent for Israel's security situation, the Syrian civil war did not spill over into Israel, there was maybe a couple ISIS attacks that occurred for which they quickly apologized for. What it did do is completely neutralize the hostile Assad regime, and when he was finally toppled they obliterated their remaining air force and air defense and continued to bomb the 'moderate rebels', a weak regime is far more preferable than a powerful government with a Muslim population. Also what's the issue with a refugee crisis, Israel doesn't receive refugees from these wars, you can just send them to Europe.
Not to mention that regime change in Iran is fantastical at this point, no serious geopolitical analysts even see it in the cards, the Trump admin purposefully avoids saying 'regime change'

You are insanely wrong about the ISIS point.

This time?

[Mr. Racewar1488]

Iran is trying to recruit Israeli citizens.


Hezbollah is activating its elite units to fight Israel.


Israeli mini-cabinet meeting tonight about how to take out Hezbollah once and for all.

The Farsi numbers station is being jammed from inside Iran. This points to the station being a Mossad/CIA operation to communicate with assets inside Iran.

The comparison to Syria fails because the Syrian leadership stood through the civil war until Al-Asad fled. Iran has no real leadership or infrastructure anymore. The fear of a lawless land of jihadist screwing up the ME is a legitimate one — which means the US and/or Israel need to play this right when figuring out whether to back a faction or occupy with a military force. Our fingers are going to have to tip the scales for things not to fall completely apart.

 

[3D2A]

There is a state of panic in Beirut's southern suburbs following the IDF's evacuation warning for the area.

Not to PL too much here, but I have an employee who lives in one of the Caucasus countries and traveled to Lebanon on Friday to visit family. She is now stuck and from what she's been sharing with myself and our company legal team (too see about rescue and resources for her) the country has limited passenger flight operations to only two days per week. From what I can gather this is to prevent a mass hysteria but allow people to leave. I don't know how accurate any of this is but the pictures she's been sending to me via Slack have been crazy. I'll download them and post them later today.

Southern Lebanon sure, but with Beirut I would rather assume its a polite suggestion the Lebanese government take control of these Hezbollah areas after the bombings. Hezbollah cant fight Israel in the south and also defend their strongholds against government aligned forces in the rest of the country. Mass internal displacement should incentive the Lebanese government to act upon its declarations

I seriously doubt the new leaders in Iran will align with the West, the remaining figures are mostly IRGC.
An instalment of a friendly government would require a ground invasion larger than Iraq, I don't see TACO Trump doing that. The Israelis don't see the value in attempting regime change in Iran, far easier and preferable to just keep the government weak.

Not random, a refugee crisis isn't a concern for Israel and the US, they can do the smashing and the Europeans can take care of the collateral, it's called being allies.

The comparison to Syria fails because the Syrian leadership stood through the civil war until Al-Asad fled. Iran has no real leadership or infrastructure anymore. The fear of a lawless land of jihadist screwing up the ME is a legitimate one — which means the US and/or Israel need to play this right when figuring out whether to back a faction or occupy with a military force. Out fingers are going to have to tip the scales for things not to fall completely apart.

There was far stronger and legitimate rival leadership in Syria than there is in Iran, what "factions" are you talking about? Currently the only ones that are even being talked about are the Kurds, which lends credence to them wanting to make a Syria situation.
All of this talk of regime change ignores that there is no clear opposition government that can be formed, Trump himself said that they killed most of the candidates. I'm curious as to where you people are getting the idea that they're going to do regime change, neither the US or Israel are talking about it.

New developments on Trump fucking farmers by spiking fertilizer prices right before planting season.

 

[Catch The Rainbow]

First, that the US was Christian nation and it was much haram for them to conquer Muslims

Same thing with Israel but worse because they hate Jews more than Christians.

Dahiyeh is being evacuated by the LAF in cooperation with Israel as Israel is going to flatten it.

 

[Dammit Mandrake!]

IRGC are probably pretty scared right about now.

 

[Powerhouse of the Cell]

This was early on in the war so they still had an air force. Although if you look on X you'll find pro-regime accounts saying Iran has hundreds of planes hidden in their underground bases. This Friday Iran will launch a massive air assault from these caves. We'll run out of interceptors trying to shoot down hundreds of F-4s and F-5s.

---

The Iraqi army apprehended and seized a truck loaded with drones between Sulayman Beg and Tuz Khurmatu regions in the Salah al-Din Governorate.

I think this is true, right now Iran just wants to survive.

They're gonna sacrifice their cheap shitty drones and likely even pilots to do this.
They just want to exhaust the US and Israeli army at this point.

[Dammit Mandrake!]

Attacking Iran is in the best interests of America.

It is also fun and good exercise.
