Iran Crisis & the 2026 War between Iran and the United States, Gulf States, and Israel - Please focus on news and coverage, not argumentation.

Letting our war plans get tied to the stock market was so gay.

The stock market closes at 4pm EST which would be 11:30pm to midnight in Tehran. Look for signs of activity regarding planes in Europe around 2:30-4:00pm GMT which would be 9:30-11:30am EST if were going in this weekend.

If we see a bunch of preparations tomorrow morning, you can bet on strikes by 6-7pm tomorrow.
 
Watters confirms that Admiral Cooper has just finished briefing Trump about a "final blow" of strikes that would take out Iran's remaining military assets, leadership, and infrastructure.
Considering Iran has also apparently been accelerating efforts to dig out their missiles and launchers in recent days, combined with the UAE warning all nationals to leave Iran, Lebanon, and Iraq, and the Israeli Defense Minister saying, "We may soon be required to take action again in Iran to ensure that the regime cannot threaten Israel for years to come," it seems there are certainly a lot of rumors flying around over there that things are looking to ramp up again soon.


Not to mention that earlier today, we unironically did the "Operation Epic Fury II is totally different from Epic Fury I" thing.

Congress is now stuck between the political need to take a stand on such blatant bullshit, and the political need to not have to take a stand on anything.
"No, no, the fighting's all done. What we're doing now is environmental engineering--with the Mother Of All Shovels."

As much as I would love to see that happen, I think Cooper's being wildly optimistic with that one. It's not just the strikes, you'd have to basically take out about 75% or more of the IRGC officer and leader corps, plus the hardliners in the government that don't want to do a deal. Once the attacks start, Iran's going to open up with everything they got again since they've had time to dig out. Unless every Mossad or CIA agent tailing these guys is given the green light to take them out, I don't see how this doesn't turn out like the beginning when they had about 3 or 4 days of intense volleys before we started blocking up their tunnels again. Even sending in the Marines and 82d Airborne is going to be a massive risk, because this isn't like the liberation of Kuwait where the Marines just had to keep the Iraqis occupied in a relatively small area. Iran is a fucking huge country.

Maybe they have some intel that the leaders wanting to just make all this come to an end will give up Vahidi and the IRGC fucks, but I'm skeptical that will happen.

Congress is now stuck between the political need to take a stand on such blatant bullshit, and the political need to not have to take a stand on anything.

The administration's going off of the ceasefire date as the end of operations, so they're clearly taking the approach that Obama did with Urgent Fury and daring Congress to stop them. If everything does go according to plan ( 🌈), they'll look like treasonous fucks trying to keep the IRGC in charge of the country, but if this just becomes another 6-week slapfight, they'll be more emboldened to put a stop to it.
 
By making an alliance with Israel, you unlock a special perk that lets you use limited amounts of Jew rules-lawyering magic.
Clinton did the same thing in Somalia (200+ days, 231 o algo) and Serbia (76 or 78 days can't remember which)

Obama did the same thing in Libya (226 or 229 days, can't remember which)

The WPA is an unconstitutional encroachment on the president's powers as commander in queef, the commander in queef's powers are an encroachment on the Congress' power to declare war. The Founding Fathers did not imagine Congress being full of time-serving coward cunts, the first Congresses were full of men who had been prominent in the Revolution and considered themselves as equals to the men serving as president, not subservient lapdogs or ankle biters like today
 
Please do not cross-post between threads to instigate community slapfights.
the debate thread now believes the Iranian propaganda the US was using radar systems to modify Iran's weather to create a drought. Now that Iran destroyed the radar, the rain came back:

These idiots are fucking retarded. It's the spring and it's been raining off and on in the Middle East for weeks now. Even the C-130s getting stuck during the WSO rescue was likely due to the runway being too soft due to precipitation.
 
So are you going to actually condemn Hezbollah striking a school with a explosive drone or not?

I would, if I could find what you're talking about. When I Google it I only see the elementary school we blew up in Iran. I'm sure we can all agree that whoever did it should be condemned, but unless you have some different source it seems to be accepted at this point that it was us. Where are you seeing that it was Hezbollah? Either way, yeah they're no different. I mean, who the fuck blows up little kids? At least we all agree on that right?

EDIT - lol the softies in this thread got their fee-fees hurt and reported me for a threadban. Your hug box is safe again ladies.

Everyone knows we were using the Dick Cheney Memorial Weather Control Machine sponsored by Haliburton to control weather across the planet. If it can kill millions of niggers in New Orleans then it can make millions of Iranians thirsty.
 
The Su-57 might be one, but Russia still hasn't developed engines for it so the LO on the Su-57 is not very low, to say nothing of STOL and the weapon selection is ....paltry, but better than the chinks.

Eurofighter line restart is virtually impossible due to stakeholder slapfighting, and its not LO, but is otherwise a very competent performance interceptor.
The Rafale also has no LO, no STOVL (though there is a carrier version), and performance is no questionable. They've done well as attack craft against ISIS and French pilots have done well in war games/simulated engagements, the Rafale's poor showing against the Pakistani JF-17's - which might very well be poorly trained and breifed Indian pilots and not the airframe - puts a shadow over its suitability for a modern threat environment
Russia convinced Algeria to be a few dozen Su-57Es as a vanity purchase and India will almost certainly buy ~50-100 Su-57s.

The "real" Su-57M is just now entering production and its engines are literally a decade late.

China.... J-20 isn't getting exported. J-35 is a meh F-35 clone with..... dubious performance.

France.... Rafale is literally a French Super Hornet with a smaller nose so a less capable radar. Not bad but it has issues (French engines just aren't as powerful as American ones and French radar is a bit behind American)

Also, the Indian Rafales were allegedly smacked by J-10CEs firing PL-15s which is the best Chinese jet and missile you can get exported at this time.

Now as for Iran..... The have about 5-10 days until their oil wells are essentially ruined for months/years as they're about out of storage space for oil.

If the blockade is in place by Mid May, the Iranain economy literally implodes no matter what.

which is more likely, that the united states military made an elementary school a target, for some unknowable reason, or the regime with an infinite track record of using humans as shields and martyrs to create moral outrage putting a bunch of kids somewhere they knew a bomb would probably drop.

the united states is the only country with a military that does things where it is inconceivable that they would decide to attack a school alongside all the SEAD. iran isn't the only country that has a *doctrine* and *record* of using human sacrifices as their jihad, but it definitely has the strongest record. this is different from the millions in russia and china and cambodia etc. because it's a deliberate military strategy on their part against the americans, who are obviously the evil ones.

Meanwhile it'll be 100F+ in make of Iran and Iraq in about 3-4 weeks and it'll stay blazing hot and dry for MONTHS....
 
Add to this leftoids who try to argue there is no such ethnic/cultural people called the "Americans" in the first place, and now you understand why Americans get triggered by the term "United Statesian".
This is the first time I've heard the term used outside of Wilhelm Apologist, a Canadian so broken by recent events (don't blame him tbh) that he calls for the total destruction of the United States by means of inviting Chinese/Russian nuclear weapons and forcing an American invasion where the Canadians will win in a war of "National Suicide" ala Ukraine.

Thats what the blockade is for.

We can take out their retarded generals but if you take out enough, you have lieutenants and commanders in charge who are up against airstrikes they can't prevent and an economy rapidly deteriorating. They prepared to launch missiles and prepare for an American invasion, not juggle strong economic headwinds and politics.
Economic pressure is going to ramp up and things will come to a stand still by mid-May. Its easy to bitch about izzat and claim victory when the oil is flowing, but with it stopped and your biggest trade route blocked, you're fucked. We can remain solvent, watch Iran wither and die and climb over malnourished Iranians to get the enrich uranium if it comes to that. Trump and Bessent are hoping that the negotiating team realizes Iran has no leverage unless they capitulate to our demands. Its Joever for them.
Also, the Indian Rafales were allegedly smacked by J-10CEs firing PL-15s
The Indians were retards. They didn't do their homework and flew into firing range of the PL-15 because they thought it was 150m and not 200m. Pakistan also used their AWACs to guide missiles using a highly integrated network the Chinese helped them develop.

Its less about the Rafaels being inferior and more about the Indian military being utterly incompetent. Rafael is still the best jet Europe can get unless Turkey decides to make an export variant of the Kaan.
