Did the general public know any of that on 9/12, or five years later even?

No because we were all still retarded enough then to think our government were the good guys instead of a failing empire desperately trying to leverage their military as a way to maintain the economic power that they’ve pissed away over the past 50 years. A president that ran on no new wars starting one with zero justification seems to be enough to shake most people out of that delusion

The idea that any country can just fight wars and defend positions with absolute perfection to the point that it does not lose any soldiers, has no equipment destroyed or facilities damaged is absolutely absurd.

The fact that we have people smugly crowing about a single transport aircraft shot down and a dozen soldiers dead is the USA somehow LOSING, says more about the absurd power level our enemies project onto us then it does about the reality of the situation.

Nobody who is looking at this seriously expect the US to not have any casualties, there are more people saying the US has experienced more casualties than they have reported and find it weird people believe only a single transport was shot down. The reality of the situation is not what the US and Isreal are telling us and thats the only sources of information this thread wants to accept. That is just dumb.

The Russians have a victory in their future because they don't share the same value on life as the US does and they have actual divisions on the ground taking territory no matter how slowly. Putin also doesn't have any elections to worry about. The US public does care about every single casualty and public opinion does matter because of political elections coming up and you will not see actual gains from this action as there are not troops on the ground. The positive outcome for the US relies on Iranians "rising" up and taking over the rubble after we reduce it to rubble and that doesn't inspire confidence in it actually happening.

Sounds a little too 🌈 at least at this point in time, but it's certainly more believable than all those "anonymous sources" from a few days ago saying the regime is stronger than ever.
Shame @Catch The Rainbow is currently doing his Sabbath thing, or I'd ask if he had any additional info.

Yeah, what I'm hearing is that this war is NOT going to end anytime soon, Trump is SO fucked by November.

I missed like a week's worth of notifications, how many Supreme Leaders did they go through?

None, the Iranians finally realized the US doesn't target hospitals, so they cut the Supreme Leaders' legs off and put him in a coma to protect him.

The Great Ducktator said:
The number of missiles Iran launches per day has been around 30 for a week now. Shouldn't we be seeing the numbers drop further still? There doesn't seem to be a drop to zero. Either Iran can restore 30 launchers a day or the hunt is more difficult than hoped for.
Click to expand...
The US has said there's roughly 150 launchers left, today. They've been hitting missile production sites the last few days, as well. Even if we're destroying each launcher immediately after it is used, by only firing a few dozen missiles a day, they might be able to stretch their launchers out for 5-7 more days.

Though the type of missiles being fired is probably more important than the number of missiles.

The real problem this time is that it seems unclear if the military industrial complex is still robust enough to support itself. In the past war has been an infinite money machine but between neglected infrastructure and retarded financial manipulation it’s already gonna struggle to keep pace with such sloppy shock and awe strikes.

We have at least 125,000 MK-80 series bombs (mostly 500lbs) stockpiled, just from known estimates. Very likely far more, maybe even upwards of 500,000.

We can currently make about 25-30,000 JDAM kits a year (with surge capacity of maybe 50,000 kits if needed). We used roughly 3000 JDAMs on ISIS in a single year, that's about 45 days worth of kit-production. There's no telling how many JDAMs are already stockpiled, but probably 10's of thousands. We could likely drop half-a-million pounds worth of GBU-38s a day for nearly a month without running into supply issues.

There is also now significant production of cheap drones, like the LUCAS drone, basically a 500mi range cruise missile for a third the cost of a Hellfire missile with double the explosive yield. Expected production is some 300,000 drones over the next 24 months through the Pentagon's drone program. Current production is likely already over 1,000 drones per month, expected to hit 30,000 total drones by July this year as production gears up toward 5,000 units a month through at least 20 different vendors. They won't all be LUCAS drones, but most will be.

So no, we are not going to struggle to keep pace with "Shock and Awe" strikes. We've arguably not even started the Shock and Awe phase, yet.

Newest message from Pahlavi: he claims to already be assembling a team for the transitional post-mullah government, critically including people who have defected inside the country as well as diaspora Iranians on the outside. Very :optimistic: but another sign that he's (and his backers - I'm thinking Trump's appearance of being cool towards him is kayfabe, like how it seemed he'd entertain endless useless negotiations with Araghchi even the day before he suddenly attacked & killed Khamenei Sr., since it wouldn't do to make Pahlavi look like too much of a Western puppet when that was one of the big criticisms against his dad) inching towards the big call to arms.



Pahlavi also met with Zelensky in Paris earlier.



Trump claims that not only has he been so nice as to not destroy otherwise-irreparable Iranian infrastructure so far, but that they've also been compiling evidence of the Basij/IRGC who've been killing protesters even after the bombs started raining down and that these people will be tried & executed if they don't give up.



Iranian civilian records strike on a missile silo in the mountains near Isfahan.



Yet another Islamist base destroyed in Abdanan.



Destroyed Aerospace R&D facility in western Tehran.



Released IDF footage of them striking bulldozers the Iranians had wheeled out to try to un-fuck the entrances to their missile facilities. Hardly matters how 'indestructible' the facilities themselves are if they can't actually be entered and the missiles within put to use, after all.



Oh, and BTW @Kel Varnsen and @The Fourteen Words of ZOG you can keep on negrating away but know this - no amount of trashcans, puzzle pieces and top hats you throw around will ever bring Khamenei Sr. back from the arms of his alien loli harem in Hell nor will it ever be enough to get you unfucked by all those circumcised cocks jackhammering away at your prostates, niggerfaggots.

2 weeks into a 4-6 week op, btw.

Yeah. Trump said 4, Hegseth said 6 to 8. Week 4 is the time to start dooming. So far the timelines match what they said they wanted to do.

While the government lies, unlike Iraq the media wants this to fail and the Democrats want to be seen sabotaging this. Including Democratics in the military. Casualty reports are likely accurate.

My biggest thought atm is that the last killing spree Iran did earlier this year likely knocked out the people who could organize an uprising. Mass executions are effective.

You're being too pessimistic. Israel has said second phase would end in two weeks, it lasted one week, and Trump said a few days ago we're already ahead of schedule. With Pahlavi getting closer to big call to arms (and Cuba also rioting) i think we'll focus on Cuba soon.

Russia is actually trying to take and hold ground, and at the very least they understand the need to risk men and materiel, however reckless it might appear, to do so. Sure it's fun and all to talk about tanks blowing up and the unluckiest dudes alive getting FPVs shoved up their assholes, but the Russian military is still occupying eastern Ukraine and isn't budging anytime soon.

The US is compulsively reluctant to risk any casualties despite having supposed strategic goals that, under conventional wisdom, would require risking ground forces to hold positions along the funny waterway. US joint military doctrine has always outlined pretty clearly that the more you reduce Risk-to-Force, Risk-to-Mission inversely increases, as in you lose capability to accomplish a desired objective if you try to minimize your own casualties. Sure USrael might not be losing right now, but what does "winning" look like?

Neat we've hit the unironic "two weeks to flatten the curve" level of cult thought. Just keep praying guys, that missile and drone attack curve will totally hit zero in two weeks.

I think it actually might. If for no other reason than the IRGC is saving enough launchers to execute their own samson option towards oil infrastructure on their way out.
 
Reddit is completely shitting itself over Reza Shah II meeting Zelensky lmao. You always love to see lefties try to rationalize their own constant incoherent bandwagoning.

So they want:
-Full compensation for the US's actions
-The US to leave
-The US to guarantee their future as-is
While also making it clear that none of this can be achieved with the US's continued presence?

Damn, that's a strong negotiating position. What are the consequences if the US doesn't leave? They continue to get Hellfire'd with no ability to retaliate whatsoever?

Surprised they didn't throw a "death to America" in there, too.

Heavy US/Israeli airstrikes are being carried out on Isfahan, central Iran.



A residential house was struck by US/Israeli airstrikes overnight in Eyvan, Iran's Ilam province.

Huge smoke columns in Isfahan, central Iran, following heavy US/Israeli airstrikes.



The UAE's consulate in Erbil, Iraq's Kurdistan region, was struck by a drone earlier today, injuring two security personnel and damaging the consulate building.

The fact that the vertical stabilisers poke up out of the ground, cover up things behind them, and change angle as the camera moves should have given it away. Twatterites are just that retarded I guess.
