Tic-Toc 9 On The War On Iran

A ceasefire.

To be broken in 3, 2, 1 ...

Added:

Patrick Armstrong

So, what have we learned?

  • Iran is a lot more powerful than many people thought.
  • Western air defence systems aren’t very effective.
  • Who knew those little Iranian lawnmower-engined dorito drones could get all the way to Israel?
  • Hypersonic missiles are invulnerable and very frightening.
  • Tehran now knows which missiles in its arsenal are most effective and which most effectively soak up the enemy’s air defence and will build accordingly
  • Tehran’s decision to follow the missile-based armament route is vindicated. Suvorov: “Fight the enemy with the weapons he lacks“; Sun Tsu: “avoid strength and strike weakness“. `Others will notice.
  • Israel has used up the sleeper cells and intelligence penetration that it had built up in Iran.

and

My predictions.

  • The damage in Israel will be much greater and much more effective than we have been told.
  • In Iran, not so much.

I agree.

All considerations of morality and international law aside, it must be said that Iran seems to have been thoroughly outplayed by Usrael here, particularly in the initial attacks which blinded Iran’s air defence and made their skies safe for Usraeli aircraft.

I see that as a parting shot, Iraqi air defence radars have suffered the fate of their Iranian counterparts.

In the short term this looks like a big win for Israel. Syria gone. Iran neutered. Ethnic cleansing unchallenged. In the long term it’s too early to tell. Israel’s image is very poor among western youth. It’s been decades since idealistic goyim went to be kibbutzniks for a summer, but so what?

Trump surrendered. First, Israel was rapidly running out of defensive missiles. Second, Iran can easily close the Strait of Hormuz, just as the Houthis closed the Red Sea. Which Iran may still do. Iran will not "negotiate" with the US. Iran will enrich uranium. Iran will not give up its missiles.

Yup, doesn't appear it lasted 3 hours? At first a handful of launches into Israel? But now more than some issues with Iranian C2?

Has anyone seen an actual count?

Trump has certainly strengthened Iranian hardliners. They will demand iran builds nukes to drive off a potential US invasion attempt.

Will china and russia help them?

From previously:
Interesting things to watch for:

i) Izzies breaking the ceasefire - based on past history a given, this time, maybe not so much;

ii) roundup and elimination of Mossad agents inside Iran. Have they been thrown under the bus?;

iii) return (or not) of US military to evacuated bases in the heart of Centcom across the middle east. Perhaps dependent on i);

iv) the fate of Bibi.

At least he Samson option seems to be off the table...

Every ceasefire is just western jawboning to stop Iranian or Russian retaliation.

This theory that Trump was playing 10D chess to bring Bibi to the table is pure propaganda and these are the following reasons why:

1. It is based on the false belief that Israel owns America and he has allowed the Israel firsters to box him in.

The truth is Israel is a US military base in the Middle East and Trump handpicked his team with his eyes wide open and wanted them in his team.

2. If there is a ceasefire what have Israel and America achieved?

Absolutely nothing that they couldn’t have achieved last week via negotiations without going to war. Now it worse as the Uranium has been removed and nobody knows where it is.

3. Last Friday this regime change operation was real. Trump boasted about killing a dozen nuclear scientists and the decapitation of Iran military leadership.

Iran would not have played along with that just to bring Bibi to the table.

4. This was planned over a year ago with test runs using fake targets in Israel as the Iran nuclear sites.

Yet, we are supposed to believe in the last 48 hours Trump suddenly came up with the plan to cut a deal with Iran to bring Bibi to the table.

5. Israel is running out of air defence and in real danger of losing a war of attrition.

We are supposed to believe they suddenly want peace.

There are dozens of other inconsistencies but these are enough to show the propaganda that Trump cut a deal with Iran to isolate Bibi is bogus.

The absolute truth is the regime change operation failed. Just like in Ukraine the Americans failed to supply their proxy with the weapons they needed.

Israel and America are now screaming for a ceasefire in EXACTLY the same way Ukraine and America are now screaming for a ceasefire. Their regime change operation failed. There two proxies are in danger of getting wiped from the geopolitical chessboard.

Everything else is just noise. To paint Trump as a hero and a chess master and if you believe any of those two things you are a gullible fool.


But just watch ...

Now you will find out who the Kissingerarians are on social media. These will be the ones who push this bullshit theory.

Why ?

Their end game is to bring the US closer to Russia and ultimately isolate China.

It will fail. As the right wing populist agenda is peace through strength. Peace on American terms and protection of the US rules based order. Both Russia and China see it from a mile away.

Mediation #29


O' Israel, where are your lovers and suitors now?

As israel bleeds under the Persian hammer it is clear that any meagre victory to come will be more than deeply Pyrrhic.

Discredited as a "safe homeland for the Jews", a "mighty fortress against the Arabs", the most "moral army in the world", the "only democracy in the Middle East", the "mightiest army in the middle east", it's future is bleak.

Why then has none of it's allies come to it's rescue?

No, I don't mean "rescue" in the sense of supplying arms and shooting down enemy missiles, I mean true rescue - stopping the war permanently. For they watched you bleed to the edge of death, O, israel and only then, with cynical grin, stepped in to claim the glory of "peacemaker".

For israel, you are indeed bleeding!

What kind of friends, what kind of allies would give you all you need to dash yourself against a foe, but merely hang around to enjoy the spectacle?

What kind of lovers are these? Did they ever love you, O' israel?

Or were you always just a cruel amusement for them, to toy with and discard when amusements end, lifeless and broken upon the Rock of Ages?

I don't think regime change can be achieved without some proxy army of collaborators getting established, like in Syria. The Israeli attack in particular but also the Yank attack has at least short term strengthened the government in Tehran. Foreign enemies of a different religion launching attacks are apt to do that.
This is not to say that it is off the table, of course. Especially in Kurdish and Baluchi areas, I suspect preparations are well under way.

Had nuclear power proliferated and the poor nations had become industrialised

Doh! Doh! Doh! We here had a very vocal anti nuke ~ can I now call it ~ “industry” here thru the 70s and 80s.
As a naive, kid- adult pre 9/11, I oft wondered why - as one of the world’s largest uranium deposits/ suppliers - we were so nuclear adverse…. We’d sell uranium to FFS… India, but, no, *we* were loud volume anti nuke.
Doh! Accessing our own deposits and becoming a nuclear nation… we’d of course be a superpower in the South Pacific.
Neither UK ( who tested *their* nukes in Western Australia) nor the U$ wanted a satrap in the South Seas dominating Asia-Pacific …. doh!

I knew in the early 1980s Westinghouse was involved in the removal of PM Whitlam.
They’d made comments anticipating the “fall of the Australian government within the next six weeks”…. when we were years away from an election, and there was no reason to anticipate the “fall of the Australian government”….

It's a copy and paste job of Witkoff's plan in Ukraine.

Both US proxies are losing and once again America has been weakened.

But the complete and utter bullshit will continue as Kissengerarians within Russia and Kissingerarians within America will continue to try and bring Russia and the US closer.

Many Russian telegram channels are kissingerarians and Simplicius has just revealed himself. As he promotes the bullshit theory above.

I predicted all of this would happen days in advance. I thought it would be outrage at the start of the week. Then by Friday the framing and narrative would be Trump was a hero and chess master and somebody else would be to blame.

This bullshit being laid on thick at the start of the week shows how desperate the kissingerarians have become.

I even said there are Kissingerarians at the bar and they didn't let me down. Right wing ideologues never do. As they have been trying to promote this bullshit all week.

Trump the hero, the chess master that brought peace.

Just like Simplicius they have outed themselves.

Yes. Israel fought Iran on its own and cried wolf to get the Americans in.
Trump played Kabuki Theatre to get a ceasefire which he hopes many won't understand was basically just a ceasefire + theatre - he didn't do anything other than promise Israel would stop firing.
Israel won't respect that. They will play the same game and demand US gets involved.
They will get involved.

Trump just bought himself time from Israel's demands for a wholly illegal and stupid war with Iran that may well bring down Trump with Israel.

Posted by: janet | Jun 23 2025 22:32 utc | 370 "The six "possible bomb entry points" are a physical impossibility. The morons who photoshopped these have no knowledge of physics/mechanics at all."

Could you be more specific as to why it is physical impossibility and what physics/mechanics is being missed in these claims?

Posted by: ed4

Solids are (essentially) incompressible.

Some "solids" incorporating small air gaps are somewhat compressible.

Because of this a solid cannot move through another solid without the second being pulverized and moved out of the way.

The 6 "holes" are totally inconsistent with this.

How did the material in front of the bunker buster move past it to enable its passage?

In the real world the material in front of the bunker buster is pulverized and forced past it, i.e. upwards, by the bunker buster's progress.

In order to escape the pressure this material blows a conical shaped section from the tip of the missile up to ground level.

If the pressure of this material cannot be released in this way, then material in front of the bunker buster remains in place and the bunker buster is stopped in its tracks (due to the incompressible nature of solids).

Now the radius of the conical shaped section is very wide and nothing at all like the narrow "holes" shown in the photographs.

This proves that the photos are simply photo-shopped images.

The fact that the "holes" are in two tightly grouped clusters of three also shows the images are faked.

In the real world the penetration of the second bunker buster, so close to the first, would crush and remove any visible evidence of the first.

And, of course, the third, being so close to the first and second, would crush and remove any visible evidence of the first and the second.

In the imaginary world of the liars the material in front of the bunker buster disappears and is magically placed behind the bunker buster, by G_d or something. Since the liars believe the public has no clue about physics/mechanics, they regularly dish up such fairy tales.

Pax Americana along with it's corporate HQ Pax Judea have neutered Libya, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and now Iran. They are already owners of remaining Arab countries, Turkey, Pakistan and Azerbaijan.

Regime change vibes of Operation rising Lion (imperial Iran flag) with Persian Prince Palavi flying to the regional HQ to pledge allegiance at the Wailing Wall right before hostilities started.

Anyone delusional enough to think the Russians are any different than our imperialists should look back at Russian backstabbing of Iran dozens of times (refusal to complete civilian nuclear reactors, refusal to sell modern air defense systems, refusal to sell modern aircraft) because just like Pax Americana, Pax Russia is subsidiary of Pax Judea.

Supporters of genocide
Greed motivated profiteers
Unethical manipulators
Murderers and psychopaths
Forked tongued

Promoters of ongoing world violence

Why would anyone trust their word? They have given license for anyone to do the same.

And so we enter a new world in which almost nothing can be confirmed as real. John Oliver ran a segment on "AI Slop" - in which videos become wildly fictional but utterly real in appearance.

Maybe this is for the best - in ending the American Empire by lies and delusions that feel good. Ukraine will win ! We showed Iran ! And so on. Meanwhile, China and Russia build diplomatic structures and undermine US tariff craziness.

Trump may have surrendered, but Iran did also - their response to the US attack was a telegraphed attack on empty US bases. It's pretty much impossible to do much when an enemy has total freedom of the skies above you. Maybe two or three drones brought down and zero aircraft?

You can't gild this lily - this was in the short term a win for Usrael. Long term ... well it remains to be seen how Israelis, and the dual citizen brigade, react to the experience of being under fire. More people died in Gaza over the 12 days than in Israel - probably an order of magnitude more.

Israel has less than 2 weeks AD remaining at the current pace of Iranian missile volleys. Iran stated that they were preparing for a war lasting 6 months.

War of attrition is a numbers game. Israel is going to run out of AD long before Iran runs out of missiles necessitating US intervention.

- great : missiles, small flying stuff whose targetting can't be jammed (not remote controlled, not gps controlled)
- vulnerable : power plants, harbours, airports, logistics for MIC

Now, from these two wars (Ukraine, West Asia), everybody will now be back to CAD and design. And let's meet in the battlefield in 2030. Like the Spanish War to prepare WW2. In the meantime, biological nasties for the opponent... And Western governments hammering their cattle...

For the ones slow on the uptake, this is MoA's mechanism for signaling smoke ops to avoid discussing elephants not clearly apparent in the room. You would think B would have something remotely resembling intelligent analysis but there is a mountain of bullshit words and outright propaganda lies by B and the 24/7 attached auto-pens of MoA to acknowledge (the fucking elephants..) should we be permitted to have an actual discussion of myths, claims, lies, and actual events.

As I see it: US tried to topple Iran, but concluded that not all things were in place. Now, they will make a pause. Prepare better for the second round and try again.
I could defeat prime Mike Tyson if he would be on defense all the time. And when I get tired, we make a break. Sooner or later, I would make enough damage.
Usually countries refrain from attacking other countries due to consequences of failure. But it is not the case with US since there are no consequences. They lobbed missiles into Russia under cover of Ukraine. Instead of using Iran to sink some US ships, Putin will "avoid escalation". For how long?

I wouldn't dismiss Iran so easily they demonstrated that they are plenty capable of hitting USA bases, and other assets in the region, even after Israel declared that they destroyied a gazillion of tel and missiles warehouses.

As for the Gazans Vs Israelians , keep in mind that while the formers are, as sad as it is, quite used to it, Israelians are not so used to being targeted.

They considered themselves to be safe/untouchable but they discovered they are not.

A reply to a topic in the last thread. I haven't finished reading it yet (200-300 comments left if I'm lucky) but I'm posting this anyway since it's kind of an important topic/point.

Iranian ghost uranium

"Butties" ( Jun 23 2025 21:18 utc | 324 ) wanted much more than a link —he wanted actual proof— but if we find and look at the source (or at least a report of the claim) we will realize there likely can never be any proof.

The Uranium most likely doesn't exist. Because ghosts! It's ghost Uranium! Okay not ghosts but IAEA "paper uranium" (as if that isn't ghostly) :D

I used "Ornot"'s comment ( Jun 23 2025 21:32 utc | 334 ) and whittled it down to "31 May 2025 IAEA May 17 Iran 408.6kg (900.8 pounds) uranium enriched 60 percent" for the search input (with no quotation marks) and the first hit is "Iran rejects IAEA report alleging increased enriched uranium stockpile" (and from Al Jazeera as "Ornot" hinted with "AJZ").

Somebody already archived it:
https://archive.ph/mTzOv

Iran rejects!

So no Iran does not acknowledge having 408.6kg of 60% Uranium, it is just something Bibi's long lost bastard brother and IAEA war criminal Rafael Mariano Grossi claims (and from there on it is repeated and amplified as part of the narrative).

Conclusion: "Butties" is right to protest!

Side note: aside from the propaganda angle it's not actually meaningful in itself whether they have 200kg or 400 kg or whatever. For the propaganda it is of course a great way to have something to be concerned or shocked or outraged about and go "omg they have twice as much! Panic! Do something, anything. War!" etc. :/

(As far as I am concerned Iran can have as much Uranium as they like at any percentage of refinement. There is this thing called science and it doesn't stop at 60%).

(Changed this comment until it worked, removed a monster URL and I might have accidentally used non-breaking line shifts or something weird because of my fat fingers).

🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇮🇷 US President Donald Trump on the Israeli ceasefire violation

“I’m not that happy about that Israel”

RT analysis

US is NOT in a position to escalate any direct conflict with Iran. US has “bigger fish” to fry with Russia and China as the world transitions to the new multipolar world.

President Trump has suppressed the crying demands of his masters in Israel requesting a dealing with Iran. Now he orders them to settle down. The biggest threat to President Trump is Israel, will they deal with him as they dealt with JFK?

https://t.me/RezistanceTrench/43878


🇺🇸 Trump: “When I say 12 hours you don’t go out in the first hour and drop everything you have on them. I am not happy with Israel going out this morning because of one rocket that was shot perhaps by mistake. It didn’t land. I am not happy about that"
https://t.me/RezistanceTrench/43879


🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 Trump: "Israel dropped the biggest load!"
https://t.me/DDGeopolitics/153501


🤔This is starting to feel like some kind of madness. Yesterday, he suggested overthrowing the ayatollahs. At night, Iran bombed a U.S. base. In the morning, Trump talked about peace. By afternoon, he said the peace was already broken. Now he’s urging Israel to stop. Is Don living in some kind of accelerated reality? How do we make sense of all this?

56) @Bomboni Toni "Putin will "avoid escalation". For how long?"

He will seat by the river and calmly watch the corpse of the enemy floating. After the US peak in shale oil production (closer to 2027 than 2030), a quick and sharp decrease will come.

The US will need the EU petrol consumption to come to zero quickly. Arrange for some "green khmers" to be elected, or some bad flu.

I have not seen anything about Iran accepting any cease-fires, or peace-deals. All I have seen is Trump claiming there was/is a cease-fire in effect.

Posted by: Axxis | Jun 24 2025 11:29 utc | 68

The biggest blow of all, with enduring consequences, is to the Zionist psyche; their sense of superiority, of invincibility even, has been smashed to smithereens. Never before has Israel suffered such heavy damage to its towns and cities, not once during the various conflicts in that blighted state’s history has the economic and energy infrastructure taken such a pounding. The armed forces have been exposed as a paper tiger, only useful for bullying and slaughtering helpless civilians, but cannot function against a properly-equipped adversary without the the direct backing and assistance of the USA.

The ceasefire won’t hold, not least because Netanyahu’s own political and personal future depends on continuous conflict, lest the national focus in Israel turns towards scrutinising his own wrongdoings. How the profound culture shock the ordinary population has undergone will affect this remains to to be seen.

I don't dismiss Iran easily at all, and they did show that Israel, Dome, Sling, Arrow and all, is not secure, but still - you can have thousands of missiles, but if within ten minutes of getting the launchers out, a flight of bombers are coming at you, that rather diminishes the utility of said missiles, and your technicians get killed.

Satellite plus air dominance is still pretty important there.

Iran has provided the rat an escape ramp rather than cornering it.

Posted by: Peter AU1 | Jun 24 2025 11:40 utc | 72

Doing a step backward an overlooking the scenario, you get another picture:

Trump changing his position twice a day, but suddenly:

US planes flying over Iran without a single shot fom Iraninan AD.

Bombing three nucelar sites without one radioactive particle getting in the air. On both sides nobody gets even a scratch.

Iran takes revenge on three US bases. Nobody on both sides gets even a scratch.

Trump shouts: Peace on earth! The twelve days war is over.

Both parties agree to a ceasefire.

Ending a war with military action without even one drop of blood spilled. (at least from the US side). Only possible with the best showmaster of all times. Monty Phyton looking pale in comparison.

I've been following events in the region since around 1970 (I'm an old guy), and I have never seen Israel in as much trouble as in the last few days.

Quite apart from the military and economic damage, just think of the social and psychological toll exacted by day after day of missile attacks. Some days fewer, some days more, but remaining constantly in the back of fearful, sleep-deprived minds.

..and Israel isn't the country it once was. Israelis used to be very united and egalitarian (amongst themselves), now they are riven by class, ethnic and religious divisions. In the 60s and 70s Israelis were tough soldier-farmers who could take it as well as dish it out. Today, Tel Aviv and Haifa are full of the same soft, spoilt and entitled individuals as any Western city.

Why would they? Deceit, lies, terrorist acts and 'one-offs' work extremely well without any cost to themselves. They will strike again under some fabricated pretense and then call for peace again. They will never call it war but peace. This will continue until Iran collapses. It is not weakness, it is a winning strategy. It's sickening from a moral point of view but it works much better than open confrontation.

Posted by: Hamburger | Jun 24 2025 11:50 utc | 82

IMHO it's much too early to say that either side won. For Iran to win, it would need to acquire decent AD and extirpate any trace of the shit ton of subversives (Mossad, MEK, Azeri and Kurdish separatists, etc.) infesting its body politic -- and IMHO acquire nukes as well. The demise of the dollar as a currency taken seriously would also seem necessary, because the Zionazi Entity can easily rebuild itself with billions of dollars harvested from Uncle Sugar's Magic Money Tree. On the Zionazi side the big questions are how quickly it can rearm itself, and whether it can be dissuaded or prevented from using the Samson Option next time around.

One thing is for certain though: As long as the Zionazi Entity continues to exist, humanity is the loser.

He has lost it completely, but he is somehow worried about what Israel is planning.

If it wouldn't be so sad it'd be funny:

1. Iran has the USA by their zionist balls. But:
2. Israel has the USA by their zionist balls too.

It must be pretty inconvenient: the alleged super power #1 is being torn by two lesser entities.

Yes, they can still launch missiles, but not very many of them. And they have plenty of targets, power stations, and the platforms for the gas that's being stolen from the Palestinians.

Iran have folded their cards, and I don't get the impression it's because they're cowards. They will know the odds they face better than we do.

I think that if Iran continued with its strikes for a couple of months then Israel would be at its collective wits' end. The economy would grind to a standstill and those who could would be leaving. There are already 5000 homeless people. I could easily see 100 000 being rendered homeless in quite short order - in itself creating huge logistical problems.

How can a modern economy continue to function under such conditions, where the population spends the night sheltering in subways?

It can't!

Many "Members of the Chosen Tribe" are not happy with Bibi. Leading figures in Isr politics are in a very dangerous situation but the general calculus hasn't changed for the Government. If the status quo with the ceasefire stays not only would Bibi probably be send to kosher gulag, the majority of the Isr society would have to accept the very difficult notion that they might not be as exceptional as they claim.

So for reasons of internal politics and mass psychosis in the Chosen Country the shitshow must continue. At least the "nuclear" aspect apparently moved to the sidelines...

Both Mahmoud OB and Alon Mizrahi in their most recent podcasts (AFAIK) both conclude---Alon most clearly--- that Trump/IS has stepped in big doodoo in Iran and the latter now has Trump where they want him. Namely, he thinks he can play this game continually of a few strikes here and there.

Whereas actually Iran is now serious and Trump must actually pay attention and explain to the American people why we must go to war for Israel---or, failing to do that, he will be acknowledging that he is the one saying Uncle, not Iran.

If you really want to build a bomb, everyone involved will be hidden and protected somewhere far form the car bomb or quadcopter thru window dangers. The story simply doesn't work. What they are doing is chaos so the leadership collapses. They're creating dependencies in all areas which will be filled by "friends" for further control. In time, the loyal army will be wasted, will feel vomit and leave, the headchopper replacements will appear and be welcomed by everyone, including Brics, which will then blame the Iranians themselves for their problems.

This belief Iran must acquire better air defence than their own..... It has done pretty well to date. Israel managed to open a gap for 12-24 hours using sleeper cells. Iran quickly got that up and running and since then, Israel has had to mostly fire missiles from outside Iranian airspace.

This was long planned by Israel and it got some strikes in. Leakers. How many strikes has Russia taken since the conflict there began. Many. Too numerous to count. But those strikes a only a small percentage of all that has been fired at it.

Pantsir vs HIMARS. The Bridge at Kherson. Pantsirs could only take down a small percentage, the rest were getting through. It was several months and several software upgrades before Pantsir was reliably taking down HYMARS with close to 100% kill rate.

US super duper stealthy planes keep their distance from Iranian defence systems.
