I find it interesting that there haven't been any confirmed deaths among the Iranian leadership given that assassination was the entire purpose of the initial strikes. It's extremely unlikely that all of the dozens of missile strikes failed to hit their targets, so I can only assume fog of war + intentional obfuscation of the part of the Iranians is the reason why. I'm curious to see the extent of the damage done; it would tell us quite a bit about how successful the operation has been so far.
It'll be a long time before we know unless the government collapses.
This is actually a very interesting take, time will tell if this is 4D chess larping or if you are a fortune teller.
No psychic powers needed by just observing.
look up "Iranian Water Crisis" on youtube there are a bunch of videos covering why people are protesting despite the government turning guys with guns and live ammo on them. Because they are that desperate.
Anti-Ayatollah/Mullah protests have been growing since 2009, people are tired of the government exploiting them and their taxes going to line the pockets of the elites under pretext of incompetently fighting the jews and the US.
You can see there is no invasion-level US ground deployment planned because there is no deployment of ground personnel. Iran has 90 million people. There hasn't because its pointless.
This was the hoped result of the 12 days war/Midnight hammer, but the protestors weren't organized or ready back in June. There was some hope of something going down while we had the Ford parked outside of Iran curb-stomping the Hoothis, but nothing happened and the US redeployed to yeet Maduro.
The protests went fever pitch in Decemeber/January and seemingly caught everyone off guard. Supporting these protests is why Trump moved more than just a flight of B-2s and escorts into position.
If the protestors start taking territory, we will see more US action. If they don't, Trump just brings the planes and crews back home after giving Iran another sack tap.
if you want it done via a costly war fought by whites with no real clear plan on stabilizing the situation so the terrorism actually stops vs the end effect just being less organized resistance to a jewish pedophile state. if iran collapsed because it caved in naturally or something then i dont care beyond maybe israel having less incentive to not just liquidate america but that wouldnt be anything to complain to this thread about as if they caused it.
If the speculations of this operation being talked about with Putin during their Alaskan meeting are true, I would say Russia's not getting fucked here.
Lolno.
No one saw this shit coming, definitely not a year back either. Cope harder.
Russia is getting fucked if Iran toppled:
-Iran supplies Russia with Shaheed drones (that Russia has renamed Geran). If Iran falls, that supply of cheap drone spam evaporates.
- Iran has sold Russia a lot of equipment they bought from the Soviets. Ammo, systems, etc. Because Russia needs the soviet ammo and the old systems are good for spare parts. Iran falls, that stops.
- Iran manufactures missile components for Russian missiles. They also make some of the explosives. Again, this stops, and means Russia can no longer launch cheap missile spam.
- Iran helps Russia launder its oil. Iran and Russia both have ports on the Caspian Sea, Russia sends oil to Iran which Iran claims as domestic production. Iran is under sanctions but has license (thanks to our Stalwart European Allies) to sell a certain ammount of oil and trade oil for food/medicine/non-military goods, so they are sanctioned less than Russia.
- Iran is a source of black-market equipment from China, namely electronics.
- Iran has internal domestic production which they are using to help supply Russia, in exchange for effectively IOUs on military equipment, specifically fighter jets.
- Adding to this: Iran has been under sanctions for advanced electronics for decades and has build a domestic industry to supply their military. Their product is sort of crap, but it is generally better than the alternative of "nothing". These components were mostly designed to repair or upgrade Soviet-pattern systems sold to them.
They are able to make what they produce available to Russia as spares for their own systems.
or tl;dr:
Iran falls, Russia loses a major supplier of war materiel and gets a very solid fucking.
TSMT - move all kike sperging browns to Mass Debates, just like it happened to Russo-Ukrainian War where retards couldnt stop crying over which shambolic corrupt state is le based and white and which is not.
Please consider it mods
TBCF "the JOOOOOOOS" is on topic for this event.
I do think we need a thread rule that if you're going to mald about the jews, the malding has to be directly related to the current Happening and not just general spergin about their reptillan nature and how disgusting you find their tails/horns.
Russia buys Iranian made weapons and smuggling routes for other stuff go through there too, thats getting fucked.
Russia is also buying back a lot of Soviet-made weapons and ammo.
I work with an Iranian. I thought she was European (light skin tone her facial features) based on how she looked until she mentioned a while ago that she was Iranian.
If she stops going to her hairremoval treatments for a month, you won't make that mistake.
Predictably seal clapping.
Why isn't the rest of the world allowing Russia to do what it wants?!
