Lastly, the issue of strategic depth is extremely important in any war of attrition, and the Zionists lack that.

“…what should happen if NATO enter the war….” NATO is involved. Their hardware has been burning on the battlefront since the SMO started. NATO was responsible for the failed Counter-offensive of 2023. Whether it’s planning or hardware, Russia has proven its’ superiority on the front-lines. The sooner this thing ends, the better for Ukrainians….NATO, which has been rent by internal schisms, will dissipate into the absolute elsewhere…a relief to everyone in Europe and the UK…

Israel can and is doing real damage to Iran but Iran has a population of 90 million and is the size of western Europe, while Israel has a population of less than 10 million (with more and more brave blowhard patriots skedaddling out of the country as fast as they can) and is the size of New Jersey. Iran can absorb and diffuse a lot more damage.
Will the country unite and hold together? It did during the Iran–Iraq War, in point of fact it’s been holding together a lot longer, you don’t need to believe me, believe Google: “Persia, as a distinct political and cultural entity, has existed for over 2,700 years”.

The US doesn’t say what it knows, it says what it wants.
In addition, Israel has the same control over the USA as a brain over the body..
Here is a short excerpt from a recent article by Rainer Rupp, published on RTde: (translated)
https://dert.tech/meinung/247913-schurkenstaat-zeigt-sein-wahres-gesicht/
“…
The accusation of the nuclear weapons state Israel is that Tehran must be prevented from developing a nuclear bomb – a weapon that Iran has rejected for decades on religious grounds on the orders of its highest institution.
What is currently happening with the support of the governing elites in the US, UK, France and Germany and many other countries of the collective West is quite something: The rogue state of Israel, which is armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons and is the only nuclear weapons state not to have signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty and also not to have placed its nuclear weapons under the control of the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency, this terrorist state, which is being investigated by the International Court of Justice on acute suspicion of genocide, is puffing itself up and claiming that the war it has launched against Iran is an act of self-defence. This is reminiscent of the sarcastic saying: “How can you tell when a Zionist racist and warmonger is lying? – When he moves his lips!”

“We continue to exercise restraint; we have unknown tactics that will be used with the same element of surprise. We have weapons and equipment that have not yet been used, and if the enemy continues his aggression, they will engage.”
Is it wise for Iran to exercise restraint at this time? Syria did and ended up getting de-fanged against Israel – lost its chemical weapons for example – by being very restrained during the war. And what did that get them, a long low-grade war and then a final collapse where EVERYTHING is now destroyed (Israel systematically bombed Syrian air defense with no opposition once western-backed proxies took over) or in the hands of enemies.
If it gets to the point that Iran will lose it better use everything or its enemies will get those weapons.

Atm, my reading as well. FM Abbas Araghchi himself attended these meetings in Oman. He now has egg all over his face, and the blood of martyrs on his hands.
He now quietly states how agreeable they were/are to a deal, as a mimic of the betrayal of words of USReal, while watching every bomb drop on USReal in silent satisfaction.
The wise Leader, allowing the mid-“reformist” as the people desired, to work whatever magic with the West they believed was possible. Only now, for the people to have that final moment, of eyes opened to the betrayal that visited the generation before them imprinted firmly.
But yes, BiBi=Sadam. Trump=Shah

By the time official declarations are exchanged all around, we’ll have already been fighting WWIII for at least half a year. There will be no official starter flag for this real-time sequel to Apocalypse Now; merely a continuing slide into more overt hostilities and more deadly means, with occasional dramatic moments such as Iran bashing through the Iron Dome on our lucky day: Friday the 13th.
Without Iran’s retaliatory success, their future as a nation would be reduced to what USrael imposed on Syria: perpetual factional terror. On the other hand, with the current state of tit-for-tat stretching into attrition, I find the outlook bleak. Larry Johnson entertained the possibility of USrael’s aggression running out of steam, at which point Iran could also stop. But that scenario seems incredibly optimistic to me.
At some point, on their current trajectory, USrael is bound to go nuclear here. It’s like a Greek tragedy: the players locked irreversibly to their fates. Their dooms.

Iran must make an example of Israel to the Americans. This is already a war. A world war where, again, one country is technically fighting NATO (the US.) Europe is again being ignored but is involved.
This determines the escalation ladder with nukes now quite possible. Does Iran have a choice about obtaining them given the repeated threats?
It’s now an imminent threat. They are going to win. What will the response be? Capitulation? Not likely.
This are times when we can’t see clearly and the future is unknowable. Dark times. Evil days.

The Ukrainian war and the new Iranian-Israeli conflict are two entirely different conflicts on so many facets, to try to even compare them shows absolute stupidity and a hatred and obsession with Russia couched in decietful concern for them.
The current israeli-Iranian exchange has more similarity to the crusades or the mongols than the Russo-Ukrainian war.

Driving the news: Netanyahu argued Israel was compelled to act because of Iran’s growing stockpile of highly enriched uranium, and because intelligence suggested Iran was resuming R&D on nuclear weaponization.
—Israel targeted nuclear enrichment facilities, centrifuge production lines and nuclear scientists in hopes of decimating the program.
—Iran has long denied any intention of building a bomb, but has enriched uranium far beyond what is required for civilian use.

“whats the point of Russia helping Iran if Iran doesnt help Russia?”
What?! They’ve helped enormously, even providing Russia with blueprints and assisting in building drone factories!
“How many more war must Russia fight? Ukraine not enough for you?”
I understand that Russia lacks the U.S.’s ability to fight multiple wars simultaneously. But they should at least help their partners when they’re in dire need, especially when the enemy is the same as in Ukraine.
“Why do you stupid bitches always whine about Russia but not any of the other countries in the world?” Iran and Russia have the strategic cooperation, and I’m not talking about other countries right now. Even though Syria could be mentioned as a major failure. This time Russia has a perfect opportunity to return the favor. They could use Iran to strike enemies while hiding behind them.

Russia is 3 years into a war it should have won in weeks. Not losing to Ukraine is not ‘winning’. Russia is still a very long way to achieving its goals. Strategically, any win in Ukraine has already been offset by NATO expanding all over the Baltic. The Ruble is worth 50% of its pre 2014 value and the country has 20% interest rates… most of the economic growth is tied to defense spending and debt now. Russia also lost its ally in Syria, if it loses Iran, how long before it has to fend off another war across the Caspian Sea?

Let’s put 1+1 together –
So according to Wesley Clark it was 7 countries in the middle eats on the chopping board.
When Syria was being targeted – Russia outright intervened when it looked hopeless. Russia of back then is not Russia of today – plenty of grudges and accounts to settle to the west. If past action is a good predictor of future action then here you have a clue hasbara.
Next – China. China knows that cutting it off from oil is the text book move to choke them. Would China just jet this happen? I doubt it – there are already reports of Chinese planes arriving to Iran and we are on the first days of this mess.
Remember – also China and Russia are not looking for satrapies – a la USA. Iran will have to prove it’s a regional power and can actually be the southern lynchpin of BRICS, and most definitely Iran is not Syria. Even Pakistan is making indirect noises that they’d back them up.
