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

[Dagoth AMOGUS]

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.

Is Iran really that powerful tho? We don’t have to glass the whole plateau. We killed 100 of their top leaders in one missile strike. It was over as soon as it began.

What you’re seeing now is a victory lap.

 

[Mr. Racewar1488]

U.S.-Israeli airstrikes struck the 8th Tactical Fighter Base of the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) in Isfahan, with massive fires and thick plumes of smoke visible from a distance.

Scenes from one of the cluster munition impacts. There are reportedly 3 cluster munition impacts in total.

I feel like America is the only country where them simply not winning fast enough is somehow the same as losing. Iran is literally tard-raging at everyone in the immediate vicinity while bleeding every resource non-stop, meanwhile the US has suffered maybe 2% of the losses they have in terms of both equipment and manpower. We're at the halfway-point to what the MINIMUM timeframe was, and according to everyone involved we're actually ahead of schedule.

Ayatollah one and two are dead with number three hooked up to life support like Robo-Cop and hidden from the public like he's in witness protection, the Iranian army is facing a desertion epidemic, and every day they lose more and more launchers and with it any semblance of long or short term strategy.

Stop being so fucking pessimistic.

 

[namelesstacotruck]

Yeah, real daring strategy, it worked so well for the past 25 years that an ISIS leader is now in charge of Syria and the Taliban took over Afghanistan.

That wasnt the strategy. They tried to get Afghans to kill the leaders or paid off the leaders. Also nation building. Also all the Taliban leaders lived in Pakistan, which was off limits for a long time.

Pakistan is going to be the next huge Islamic problem.

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.

A hostile Iran benefits Ukraine and puts pressure on Russia. Actually good strategy from the coked out retard for once. Zelenksy can also help teach the guy how to run a foreign puppet dictatorship while larping as a western democracy.

(Also lol they are generating videos of them painting models of jets that Iran doesn't even have at their disposal)

did anyone figure out if that helicopter was a painting or not?

Hamas knows that the Jews are coming for them once they are done fucking Hezbollah.

Oh, no. One missile managed get through the intercept barrage and did cosmetic damage to some planes that were parked. Surely, American hegemony is finished.

Oh no! we only have 6 refueling tankers, right?! That's clearly the entire inventory that the US can access right? Devastating to US operations this ends the ability of the US and IDF to bomb Iran.

Oh wait nevermind. We have dozens more because we aren't a depleted Eurofag military.

Senior IRGC military officer Mohsen Rezaee:

Is he giving an interview from a bank vault?

I love the Iranian peace demands. They’re always so preposterous and absurd.

Although nothing so far has beaten the demand they made wherein they would only begin negotiations if Israel was dissolved as a state.

I love them too. We get to kill so many more of them and the peacefag crowd can't say shit becaue its what Iran wants.

If you watch the CENTCOM video of the attack on Kish last night you can clearly see JDAMs hitting everything, and not missiles. Keep wasting your drones and missiles on a country that didn't particularly hate you last month, retards.

Getting raped by the US & Jews.
Declares war on the UAE & Ukraine.
Sounds about right for Iranian stategic thinkers.

Iranians are huge M.A.S.K. fans. Who knew.

There was a video directly from Pahlavi posted here not even 2 days ago telling the people to not go outside or interfere with the Regime yet because the strikes have started targeting street checkpoints and outposts.

Ffs the Regime itself issued it's own warning that if they tried to take to the streets again they'd be gunned down as traitors (again).

But see that gets in the way of "America failing" brownoid seething.
I simply reject any facts I find inconvenient.

Pro-Pallies are Pro-ICE now

Pro-War Iranians are going to be here legally though.

One destroyed by a mid-flight accident. Five having received minor damage that is in the process of being repaired.

AXSHULLLLLLY another one was also damaged in the midflight collision.

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 seem 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.

I know military matters happen on their own time line and Civilians like to promise shit. I wouldn't even begin malding until 8 weeks, but there is zero excuse for any malding until 4 weeks. Unless you are doomer faggot or a brown who is just trying to write fanfic because you hate America.

Should we doom about war contunuing "as long as necessary" or be optimistic about regime being fucked and Trump focusing on Cuba?

Cuba it seems is watching what's been going on and doesn't want to be on the receiving end of kinetic freedom delivery so it looks like they are cutting a deal while the US is distracted.

But keep being a faggot.

This....this could mean that the memes about Cubas being the superior subspecies of Spic might be correct.
I am shattered & devastated.

This is exactly why I just scroll past people like him that post the type of dumb shit like he does. Responding is a waste of my time.

Forcefully shitting down the throats of retards is its own reward.

so the war's over now, right? it's been two weeks. the Iranian people rose up and overthrew the government?

Both sides have declared a truce to run a train on your mom. She loves hairy arab cock so its working out for everyone.

Neither here nor there in the big picture, but apparently some Emirati assholes are choosing to abandon their pets in now-empty apartments and homes rather than take them with (you can but it’s a bit expensive), abroad if they’re fleeing. Or even telling someone that they left pets behind. It’s a bit of a crisis on top of another.

Animal stuff

Spoiler: ASPCA

I lived in an area with a lot of Chinese, mostly students and temp workers. There is some faggot Chinese custom where they want Samoyeds (a breed of dog that was convergently domesticated but genetically distinct from other domesticated dogs so they don't share a 'recent' common ancestor; they can interbreed) because some Chinese emperor had them so owning one is suppose convey the Mandate of Heaven or some gay shit. Anyway it was a warm area the barely got into the 40s, and Samoyeds were expensive, so some chink at some point declared Huskies "close enough" so nearly every chink would have a husky.
The chinks were only in country for 2-6 years, and rather than try to bring dogs back with them would just hand them off the next arriving chinks; there was come CCP get-together-(to spy on america & shit it up)-club so they knew who was coming and would basically transfer leases, furniture, clothes, etc to the next chink.
So dog would have 3-7 owners, all of them godless chinks with no respect for animals. For those who have never had huskies, they are very willful dogs, and thus these huskies were barely housebroken, caged alot, and in general just completely fucked up mentally. But when you just need an animal to emulate your faggot emperor, who cares.

Anyways. COVID hit, and now there are no new arriving chinks. Leases abandoned tons of shit going to the dumpster and massive levels of Huskies hitting the shelters that are completely unadoptable because they've never had an owner who gave a shit about them.
The better quality chinks surrendered the dogs on the way to the airport, other chinks would turn them lose around the home so lots of dog strikes. The more horrible chinks would just leave them in the apartment with the A/C turned off and the weather warming.

This made me think of that.

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.

another pretty obvious tell is that there's an American flag flying on the flagpole behind them

 

[Scale Smerch]

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 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.

It's believable enough. Debatable how many defectors his people are in contact with currently, but I don't doubt he's working on establishing a proper government in waiting (with American backing). For better or worse he is the only real figurehead for such a transition, and thankfully seems to have his head on straight and knows he needs competent administrators to do the actual ruling (which he's there for to give legitimacy to).

 

[Ancient Pioneer]

Is Iran really that powerful tho? We don’t have to glass the whole plateau.

No, Iran is not powerful at all, their strategy of smashing the energy infrastructure of the gulf and blocking Hormuz however is effectively putting the entire globe into cardiac arrest because oil is the lifeblood of the modern world. Their aerial bombing campaign is disproportionately more effective than the American campaign of blowing up 1970s airframes on the ground that haven't flown in decades.

We killed 100 of their top leaders in one missile strike. It was over as soon as it began.

Irrelevant data point, Germany and Japan were borderline flattened by the end of the war and were continuing to fight past any reasonable point. The modern nation state does not dissolve instantly because a leader gets killed like a fucking anime or a marvel flick, grow up. The moment someone gets blown up a subordinate takes their place, this hierarchical succession plan is globally adopted and isn't unique to the US or the West. All that killing the Ayatollah did was radicalize the diehards into a state where they will never give up since they view him as a martyr.

 

[Mr. Racewar1488]

.
Scenes from Isfahan, central Iran, following heavy US/Israeli airstrikes. Locals tell Iranian media that in Isfahan fighter jets were flying so low/fast that they left trails in the sky, and 10–15 explosions were heard, in bursts/machine-gun style, with apparently the Iranian Army Aviation [Helicopter] base being hit several time.

 

[Unredacted TND]

How's strait doing now?

 

[ThisIsGonnaBeGood]

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.

Based, but we shouldn't waste time with trials.

 

[pooterino]

Who's winning? Trump's approach of "Kill the leaders and their families" is a daring stratagem. It's fun watching brown people complain that you can't play to win.

The one place the IDF won't bomb, that clever bastard!

 

[Mr. Racewar1488]

A blown up check point. The pro-Iranian Telegram channel I got it from said we're hitting checkpoints because we don't have any intelligence on what to hit anymore. Bitch, we've blown up almost everything important!


The IDF says a precise strike in Tehran on Friday killed two senior Iranian intelligence officers, Abdollah Jalali-Nasab and Amir Shariat.️ The strike targeted an intelligence branch of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, Iran’s military emergency command.

 

[Fanatical Pragmatist]

You could run airstrikes but you can't have a squadron loitering 24/7.

That's what high-endurance drones are for.


Not saying it's a good idea, just that the US has nearly uncontested air dominance, and drones that can stay on-station for over 4-6 hours fill the niche quite nicely.

Senior Iranian MP Ebrahim Azizi:
Iran wants to declare war on another country.

Oh no! Now Ukraine will know what it's like to have shaheds shot at your apartment buildings every night!

Who's winning? Trump's approach of "Kill the leaders and their families" is a daring stratagem. It's fun watching brown people complain that you can't play to win.

Good.

We should play to win instead of playing for politics.

 

[Kyria the Great]

One thing this war has also shown is that United States is clearly the one in charge as it's commonly has to restrain Israel for going full salvo on water targets that would undoubtedly collapse the regime but would risk retaliation on other water resources in the region and causing a massive humanitarian crisis

 

[mindlessobserver]

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?

This has been a consistent bitch about American military doctrine for over a century. The French bitched about it in World War 1 when the US Army refused to participate in meat waves, and instead opted for combined arms and small until offensive, the Germans bitched about it in world war 2 in which American infantry refused to charge emplaced machine guns and instead were glorified air strike coordinators, and the Russians and Arabs have bitched about it since the end of World War 2 that America just refuses to meat grinder its troops and equipment like real men instead of cowards.

Remind me though, who is the global hegemony right now after a century of doing things our way?
