USrael’s War On Iran

Counter to my expectations Israel has launched a war against Iran …

Comments

Iran is lucky to have Russia on it’s side……surely they gave Iran the heads up on the attack so as to save as many civilian lives as possible…..Iranian military officers are expendable, politicians and unelected poofs same…..bordering useless, no offence to the dead ones…..but they’ve been popped and topped for many years with nothing more than a blast of hot air from Tehran, yadda yadda yadda, even the Houthis will sit this one out, heavy bombing raids while trying to deter a Super Power will cause that……

While America and NATO and the EU now plead with Iran to descalate and claim it had nothing to do with them
( Where and how many times have we heard that before )
Putin and XI will do nothing and plead to the UN and claim it is against international law.
( fucking pathetic appeasement)
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What was the point of Chinese, Iranian and Russian navy drills if they are nothing more than a paper tiger ? All for show….
Russia and China are becoming experts at appeasement. BRICS countries will start to leave them and align with the West. When all they can do is run to the UN and claim international law and the UN laughs at them.
They don’t seem to realise they are already in WW3. Putin again looks weak in front of the Russian people.

Now Israel goes after Iran’s air force. Soon there will be no planes left. Absolutely no air defenses.
All Iranian drones and missiles were shot down.
At this rate Iran will have to surrender.
June 2025 has already been the most disastrous for Russia, Iran and China. It will get worse unless they stand by each other.

Purely out of curiosity, are you the same Jason who’s popping up on sites like Consortium News, demanding regime change in Iran, supposedly on the grounds that their powers-that-be have failed their population ?
Could be coincidence, and there really are a number of J concern trolls , all called Jason, out there, all pushing the one thing that Israel and US really want.

Removing the “Axis of Resistance”, consisting of Hisbollah, Assad’s Syria, Iran’s militias abroad and Iran itself, has always been an essential part of US/Israel’s policy, at least since the “Arab Spring” when Obama started his covert action against Bashr al Assad. Assad has now been taken out of the equation, upon which Israel looks as a decisive success, which I cannot help but admit. By terrorist methods, but engineered by the top experts, those of CIA, MI6 and Mossad, plus Erdogan’s resources, Obama’s project, though written off by many including myself, has finally turned out a success.
A similar story is that of Hisbollah, which has lost much of its bite, and top personnel, during Israel’s strikes on Lebanon. It is no longer the major player that it used to be in the Middle East.
Considering this, I have little doubt that Israel does not overestimate its resources given the new enemy Iran. If they really killed 6 of Iran’s nuclear specialists, as they currently advertise, they must possess superior intelligence. And also I wonder where was Iran’s air defense system last night.
So far, I must say that we all (at MoA) have underestimated the power and resourcefulness (particularly intelligence) of the Jewish state. Looks like a textbook case of wishful thinking.

If Iranians want to know what capitulation looks like they needs only look next door to Iraq or Syria.
Can’t see regime change happening.
They do need to up their internal security though – though so do most in the West, I doubt any western nation could survive such concerted penetration and the loss of key commanders.

Iraq will remain a Shia majority nation. France want to support KSA to own Lebanon … Hezbollah may have a different opinion. Egypt is a client state of the US-KSA-EU.

Israel continues to iron out targets in the area of ​​the airport in Tabriz, Iran.
.
Iranian missile launchers have appeared in the provinces of Hamadan, Hormuzgan, and Fars.
They report preparations for an attack.
.
The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office said Netanyahu hopes to speak with Putin.
.
Israel has damaged an air base in Hamadan, Iran, but the base’s aircraft are in underground bunkers and on high alert, the Tasnim news agency reports.
.
Agency agencies in the Middle East confirm that Iraq has not yet retaliated; the drone swarms that reached Israel came from Iraq!

Iraq officially declares war on Israel and reports it to the UN.

The coordinated nature of US diplomacy with Iran and the Israeli strike was a pretty bold move it was a master stroke
. It appears to have lead to big complacency in the Iranian leadership based on how many were taken out, they clearly did not believe a strike against them was truly coming.
Witkoff is still offfering to meet with them lol. It’s clear the Iranian leadership does not want a war or even a medium kinetic conflict, they want a negotiated end to this and a flight out to Russia much like Assad. The problem with not responding is that it lowers internal military morale and the Iranian leadership is talking about “legal” responses as if anyone cares about that, the situation is way past legal.
If Iran does not respond then they are done, something is wrong at the leadership level.

3. China begins dumping treasuries. (If Iran falls Xi’s government collapses within 3 years.)
4. Russia sarmats Washington D.C. and New York.
I doubt Iran will survive an Israeli/US assault, US weak spot is the economy.

Military resources (equipment, people, ammunition, strategies and plans) begin to depreciate in value and effectiveness the moment they are obtained.
The longer they are kept waiting for an uncertain eventuality they begin to rot and the risk of loss (by enemy action, by natural causes, by human corruption) increases.
The longer these weapons are not employed against the enemy the more time the enemy has to create defences and countermeasures.
Hence: “Use it or lose it”.
That’s what israel does, in fact. It always keeps it’s (Uncle Sugar’s) weapons in use, consuming them as fast as it gets them. It uses them and strangely, never loses them …

it is difficult to say something intelligent, the Iranians, despite all the signs that indicated an attack by Israel, were caught in the most total unpreparedness and bungling, which confirms that a people who have as their guide religious leaders who force the population to spend their life on a book written by a pedophile camel driver says everything about their intelligence,

Also their civilian infrastructure that can support military operations remains vulnerable, so iran may calculate it has more to lose by escalating. It will be a strange war by historical standards.
It should also be pointed out Iran made a big deal of its underground bases, but they availed them nothing. Do they dare try to come out from underground? Every entrance might be watched.

425/ EXILE / “Uncle Sugar runs out of money in 2027.”
Hold on. This printer won’t run out of paper nor ink. The FED can mint 36,973 nice platinum coin with “This is worth 1 billion dollars” written on it, with a free handshake and firecrakers and Hooters fat DEI chicks to bring the nice box.
Holders of US T-bonds will ALWAYS receive coupon payments from a US computer somewhere, and the capital at maturity, from the same US computer somewhere…. As long as US has electricity to wire things accross…
The key issue is… oil.
Slow Russian SMO? Patient Chinese? Patient Iranians?… The West can’t do war (logistics) without oil…
The EU has no petrol/gas. The US shale will peak between 2027 and 2030 and we all know that those wells output go down “very” quickly after peak.
“Drill baby, drill”… You (Trump) want to make US drilling profitable? Bring up the oil price with limited regular controlled stress in the Middle East… Call your er “friend” in Tel Aviv and ask him to bring the barrel price from $60 to $90 with limited collateral damage. Voilà…

I think Iran was in a war before 3 AM this morning but did not seem to know it.
I also think Russia is in a war with NATO, not a Special Military Operation, but prefers to think the situation is short of a war. I don’t think it is.

Could it be …
That no air defence was actually ever delivered by Russia?
Could it be that all that shuffle-dancing between Moscow and Teheran was just diplomatic posturing? Rumours and bullshit?
I mean, how would we know either way?

Is it that or the Iranians are incompetent or is their leadership is corrupt beyond our understanding?
I bet the Israelis are flying out of Diego Garcia in part with refuling support from the West. They cleared the decks in Syria so they have free reign in that airspace.
After a few weeks of this Trump will step up with sanctioning or blocking Irans ability to ship oil. Lady boy Lindsey’s idea of a 500% tarriff on anybody doing business with iran will come into play. Iran’s partners will take the bitch slapping.
Like one poster noted, it took a decade to take out Syria. Iran will not fall like Libya or Syria. If it falls it will fall with in its own form and fashion.
One note, the Iranians I know all say the IRG is an exceedding corrupt organization. If you are caught doing something wrong you slip them some money and they go away. Sort of like the Catholic version of paying a fell dollars to cover your sins.
Are they true believers or a religo mafia like organization? That sort of thing weakens your ability to perform your true duties and makes those you rule over despise you.
I am no friend of Zionism by any means but reality is what it is. The are winning and winning big.

Oui@1355: “Single strike on Dimona”. Likely those enemies of humanity may be hoping for that…giving them excuses to commit the unthinkable.
Symbologically, the proper hits would be the Knesset and the Izzy Supreme Court. Both edifices were financed and esoterically designed by the Rottenchild Crime Clan.
Such hits would be well understood by discerning and highly informed observers. Those who are aware of the occult significance of the interiors of those structures would quietly acknowledge that Iran might just be aware of what the fuck is going on behind the obvious screens calculated closely to ensnare the oblivious.

After some more reading on events and results….
IMO, now, Iran is finished. Incompetent in their military preparedness and national security….. stunningly obviously.
And while they appear to have the ability to entirely level every military thing in Israel, they clearly lack the balls. (I wish to be proven wrong, but history suggests not)
Here is the thing about Israel. They are undoubtedly evil in the extreme. But they are very good at sneaky warfare. Their enemies aren’t, and worse, suck like a black hole at defending against it.

Meanwhile Russia continues to squander the military advantage it holds over NATO. When the US gets hypersonics in a couple of years time, they’ll be ready to fight.
Waldorf | Jun 13 2025 14:07 utc | 470 is correct. There’s a war going on but only one side is fighting it. A shame they’re Nazis and pure evil.
I bet, right now, the moderates in Iran are arguing for only a limited retaliation. Mossad agents come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. If Iran is that divided then it’s in big trouble. Hopefully the Ayatollah reads the riot act and Iran hits anything it can hit in Israel. We’ll know later today.

Israel is shutting its embassies around the world and has urged citizens to stay alert and not display Jewish or Israeli symbols in public places, statements posted on embassy websites said on Friday after Israel launched large-scale attacks on Iran.
The statements said Israel would not be providing consular services and urged citizens to cooperate with local security services if faced with hostile activity.

$30 billion extorted from US taxpayers in 2024 certainly helped.

Well, the problem is: Israel most likely possesses nuclear weapons. And Israel possesses submarines capable of launching missiles with nuclear warheads. Even if Iran succeeds in destroying every military target in Israel, there is still a grave danger that Israel will launch a final retaliatory strike against Tehran and other major Iranian cities. What that would mean is clear.
I do not blame the Iranian leadership for not being willing to take this risk.

2. Israel has the affrontery to nuke Iran.
3. Iran is or has been covertly building nukes.
3. Iran would or will “exterminate the State of Israel” as is their credo if/when they do get them.

Statements from Trump and Rubio. They are not quite as uninvolved as they previously claimed; in fact, they seem to be gloating now:
————-
‘There’s more to come’: Trump
The US president has praised Israel’s attacks on Iran in a series of brief telephone interviews with television outlets today.
“I think it’s been excellent,” Trump told ABC News. “And there’s more to come. A lot more.”
Donald Trump told CNN: “The people I was dealing with are dead, the hardliners.”
https://aje.io/auoxkc?update=3772486
——————–
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington provided Israel with “exquisite intel” ahead of its deadly barrage of strikes on Iran, ABC News is reporting, citing a source familiar with the situation.
Rubio added that the US would defend Israel if needed.
The source confirmed that Washington had advance warning of the attack and said that the strikes would continue and intensify over the next few days.

Iran is shown to be weak paper tiger, they will respond with nothing significant, lie and say they did and capitulate to Israel and West while praising Allah for defeating Zionist. What a joke. I
Putin needs to study Israel on how to defeat enemy, but of course we know he is not a war time president and is a closet Atlanticist, so Kiev will continue terrorist attacks in Russia proper.

+ People taking the streets in Tehran to “protest” for the bombings
+ Protest to the international institutions for the henoius act of aggression
+ Blah, blah, blah,
Meanwhile the IDF is giving Iran similar treatment as Gaza and Beirut with similar response by the victim

Posted by: Dave F | Jun 13 2025 14:38 utc | 495

We all need to keep in mind:
US and Israel absolutely excel at shock and awe … short sharp attacks are their specialty and MO. On the other hand, they are absolutely horrible at long and attrition war, as seen in Afghanland and many other places, most recently Yemen.
The way to defeat Israel is by simply not quitting … it is a small country and has no strategic depth. However, in the meantime you have to be prepared to take a lot of punishment.
Does Iran understand all this and does it have the internal coherence and fortitude to handle tactical defeat after defeat until it achieves strategic victory? Time will tell … there IS a reason that seasoned IDF and Mossad leaders never wanted to do this war, however.

If they are not going to fight effectively and to win, because Iran will/may retaliate, the outcome is clear. Iran falls. If they are going to let that happen inevitably, they should simply capitulate to the West now and save the bloodshed.

Trump is little piece of shit.
Even if he had been completely unaware of the impending attack beforehand, he would now stand up, open his boastful mouth, and place himself at the forefront of developments. But Trump is just a tiny little piece of shit who has absolutely no say in Washington. He’s being fucked up his fat ass by the deep state from morning to night.
