It's going around that Mojtaba Khamenei was targeted recently and is MIA.

You got an article or something to back this up?

The U.S. Central Command has claimed over 5,000 strikes against Iran during the first 10 days of war.️ Targets include more than 50 Iranian ships, which have been damaged or destroyed.

Source? I heard this in the first day of the war and he's apprently still alive rn

I wouldn't be surprised if he's been dead since the first day. The Mullahs could have just elected a dead man in the hopes of getting Israel to chase a ghost, but they instead blew up some other random higher up and said it was him because it's not like there's any footage countering them.

'invoking article 5' isn't like pushing a magic button that automatically makes the entire alliance declare war and mobilize for a full scale assault against iran. such a response would likely only happen in case of serious aggression (invasion) against a nato member by an outside force.
in this case, the most relevant part of nato (america) is already at war with iran anyway, a handful of missiles being lobbed at turkey won't lead to any further action than what is already happening. all these random missile spergouts will do is cause further diplomatic breakdown between iran and the countries it strikes. maybe turkey itself will react by carrying out retaliatory strikes against iran, but overall these missile attacks by iran are a fart in the wind that does not warrant any large scale military response by the alliance, which would also be kind of pointless because america is already obliterating irans military capabilities anyway, further nato involvement wouldn't make any difference here.

Lmfao, who cares, Iran is already at war with the US. Since the US is like 90% of NATO's offensive military power, Iran is essentially already at war with "NATO". It would not meaningfully change their situation much if UK France Germany etc pile in. NATO is scary because it has America in it, and America is currently bombing Tehran.

I get the impression some people think Article 5 is some sort of panic button that once hit, compels the entire NATO alliance to mobilise for total war and immediately launch all nukes at the enemy state. This is not the case. If Article 5 were invoked, each NATO country would decide how it would respond in coordination with the other members.

Believe it or not NATO was not designed to be retarded. The treaty leaves plenty of ambiguous wording for the alliance members to respond proportionately to a given threat. Again it's a moot point anyway because America is NATO's teeth and America is already engaged in combat operations in Iran.

The most turkey would get from the rest of NATO would be MAYBE an extra division or two, more airpower, maybe some extra air defense. It would also practically force Spain to stop being faggots and allow the US to use their bases, no matter how scared their PM is of muslims.

And yes, while each nation figures out how they will respond, if they don't meet reasonable force commits there will be serious fucking questions to answer as to why they bitched out.

But its all moot, not just because the actual military of NATO is already there as you point out.
Turkey will not invoke Arty V because that will almost certainly require invading Iran to not look like a bitch, which is going to tie up the bulk of the Turkish army for several years playing peace keeper, and that will utterly wreck E-dogs plans for rebuilding the Ottoman Empire in his lifetime.

Isn't MIT as hollowed out as any other US university, why should anyone give this any attention?

My personal opinion is that all lecturers should put the differential equations in the bag and not try to be pseudoscientific "experts" for clout and money.

I'm actually surprised he didn't kill himself the moment he saw Israel perform a successful space interception of a IRBM warhead.

He ASSURED everyone that was LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE for decades (meanwhile in the real world the USAF was hitting warhead simulators in space in the late 1970s lol)

This guy's issue is that he called out issues with gulf-war era Patriot by acting as a "whistle amplifier" for a contractor working on some Raytheon defense systems and really did a good job backing up their assertions; it might have been better if he had done so quietly instead of broadcasting the system's weakness to a Chinese and Russian audience but hey, his heart was in the right place.

The problem since, as you allude to, is that he got a lot of fame and dick sucking doing it and now keeps trying to go back to the well. He got lucky that he found someone who knew what they were on about and was correct when raising issues with Patriot's effectiveness against missiles. So there after, anyone who has been shit talking any sort of defensive technology might be right and his ticket back to the spotlight.... or they could just be a butthurt at Raytheon, or just a American hated brownoid or tranny, and he lacks the actual expertise in the subject to be able to tell the difference.
He's really knowledgable in his field, but is trying to be an expert outside of it.

Plus he's really beating the drum because to him 80% intercept rate = Absolute garbage, worse than nothing.

Why don't you tell that to the Armenians, or the Chaldo-Assyrians who they also helped the Turks commit genocide against, and still to this day routinely ethnically cleanse what remained of their villages and homes. Kurds are a bunch of two-timing subhuman cockroaches and the entire region would be better off if they were all wiped out in the Anfal campaign, fuck them
Click to expand...
Post 1970 Kurds. They have avoided doing genocides and purges in Iraq & Syria.
You are correct they are subhuman sand apes but so is every other thing oozing around the mideast. But Kurds are the clean end of the turd.
They also don't suicide bomb.

And why is that a good thing exactly? Ohhh goody another autonomous zone that gangsters and PKK terrorists get to operate out of with impunity, gosh I'm sure everyone would love that! Dumbass

I mean, they aren't doing a whole lot operating out of Iraq other than kicking ISIS' ass when they are dumb enough to show their faces.

namvata said:
Ok and why are the Iranian people supposed to be fine with that? They don't want a persian rump state surrounded by a bunch of ethnic enclaves, they want to get rid of their government. Seriously if you said that this was for sure gonna be the concrete result of this war to any Iranian monarchist or other dissident against the regime I guarantee they'd be strapping on those fucking martyrdom headbands before you could finish saying "MARG BAR AMRIKA" because you're effectively pledging to end Iran as a nation, which none of them want.

Who cares what they are cool with. They've had 47 years to change their government to one that wasn't run by terrorists

"Bro you already have a government bro, you just gotta replace every single apparatchik within it, it's not that hard dumbass" do you people hear yourselves when you say this shit?

That is why we're bombing the fuck out of the IRGC. We're removing kabob for them.

namvata said:
The Iranians want the overthrow of the regime but that can't happen with an entrenched and armed army of apparatchiks who are willing to kill everyone and watch the country burn before they hand over power. If you don't think there's gonna have to be any martialing of resources to make sure the aftermath of this isn't a disasterous failed state you are delusional

Look shitting on retarded browns is one of the key aspects of this site.

Alphasnail said:
I have a question that maybe an osintfag here can explain. I've heard it said that Iran has many missile launchy silo spots in the east which haven't been brought online yet and which haven't been struck yet. Is this so, and why haven't they begun using them if their operational capacity has been so degraded thus far?
Click to expand...
tl;dr: They haven't been hammered as much in the east just due to distance. Partly also terrain. So that's where what is left of their launchers are.
They also don't have silos. Silos are beyond the capability of browns.

The sites have not been brought online likely for some combination of the following:
1) For the same reason they are hard to hit, they are also hard to supply and only would be able to hit Israel with their longest-range missiles. The flight times are longer, giving Israel more time to detect and respond (intercept)
2) Those launchers and their missiles are a large part of Iran's leverage in any peace talks, If the Zionist Entity ever tires of bombing them, so burning them all ASAP is not ideal. Iran is also down to about a quarter of its pre-war launchers so just by nature of the beast they are going to be going through ammo much slower.
3)Lack of communication. Its been a week so presumably the IRGC has adapted to decapitation by now, but given those sites are more remote it might have taken longer to get orders to them.

Also I knew this shit wasn't gonna be over in a day but it is making me more nervous with time that we may not have a concise plan to land this plane if the muzzies don't consneed. Theres a lot of glibness about people's reservations here which is understandable with how obnoxious and dishonest the global brownoid cope alliance is, but for real Im getting concerned. [...] I just want some hopium. Can someone please assure me that it'll just be two more weeks to stop the spread?
Click to expand...
Per US and the Elders of Zion, we are looking at 3-5 weeks till all the targets are neutralized at minimum. So just stop freaking out there Joeseph, the world doesn't conform to your Gen-Alph attention span.

Second, Iran/IRGC is not exactly improving its tactical situation day by day. We've moved from bombing command posts, HQs, and military depots to bombing police stations and internal security offices because everything more imporant is already flattened.

Third, Hormuz will not be allowed to remain closed. If it comes to it, China will just dump bus after bus of yellows into Iran until its reopened and their oil flows again.

The US could just say tomorrrow "we're done" and it'll take Iran years to recover from getting utterly wrecked. We're simply making sure the job is done completely and thoroughly so they never recover. Ideally that's because the people overthrow the regime and put leadership that isn't fully retarded in place but that's far from a for-sure outcome.

No, there was no imminent threat.

I'd disagree on the "no imminent threat". Iran has put out so much drone and missile spam, and continues the drone spam, they were clearly reaching a level where with another year they may have been able to saturate missile defense.
And they are hitting every neighbor, even the Brits on Cyprus who were too cucked to do anything. so their regime is completely insane and was a madman with a bomb and a detonator.

The IRGC has become so powerful they are a total law unto themselves and answer to no one. It makes ending this war quite difficult really. The government could be like "ok, we give up" but the IRGC would keep firing off it's rockets and drones regardless.

Elite Hezbollah warriors launched a missile towards a secretive Zionist military base in a daycare in the mixed city of Ramle. They must've thought Israel hides their military infastructure in the same spots Hezbollah and Hamas do.

מחנה רחבעם (Camp Rehavam) in Ramle is only a couple hundred meters (basically across the street) from a residential area. pretty fucked up of the Israelis to use kindergartners as human shields like that.

"Among MAGA"

Wouldn't that automatically remove everyone who feels betrayed by the Iran war? Also, 98%??? Nobody gets a legit 98% on anything. That should've been your first clue that you're being lied to your face.

MAGA in this case is being used as a synonym for "Conservative Republican" (i.e. not establishment/'traditional'). Here's an example from the same polling company:

The airstrikes in Tehran are going extra hard tonight. I'll post footage as soon as I see it.

Hezbollah is firing artillery at Syrian positions.

US/Israeli airstrikes were carried out on Arak, north-central Iran, earlier tonight.







Additional footage from tonight's Israeli attacks on Tehran, Iran.
 
Honestly, this seems more and more like late WW2 where USAAF pilots strafed carts with refugees and ambulances and then claimed they were tiger tanks and half tracks in their reports to boost their reputations and meet target quotas.

I mean Tehran is already new Delhi now.
Their navy sunk, air force and airlines all thrashed, oil depots destroyed, most police stations and secret police headquarters destroyed, most missile bunkers buried up, etc.

I would be surprised if this shit formally ends next week.
 
Aftermath of strikes on IRGC & police buildings in Karaj, possibly the same building that the panicked IRGC troops I posted yesterday were fleeing from. The people filming say 'good job Trump & Netanyahu' for doing this and also 'Javid Shah'.



The IRGC HQ in Sanandaj was leveled by bombs earlier today.



An American drone was spotted flying over Kazerun (pop'n 96k) on its way to Shiraz.



Police HQ in Shahriar (west of Tehran, pop'n of 309k) destroyed by airstrikes today.



An IRGC base in Karaj's Golshahr neighborhood was 'reduced to ashes' according to the guy filming.



Police HQ in Aleshtar, a town of 33k in Lorestan, met a similar fate to the above.



More Iranian Navy ships go boom.
