Things are heating up between the US and Iran thread

[fresch]

Never underestimate.
They knew who, what, when, where, how, I'm sure they know/knew what was going to happen.
If the "game" is to have the people raise up, that might or not work; talking generational slaves. Seen in the U.S. by all the blacks voting for slave masters.
I say cut the head off and roll the dice; just be ready to cut the head off again.

You may be correct, I am only guesstimating. Their cities are being hit pretty hard,

Thats pretty much all we can do, guess.

Looks like we will be entering this war after all.

That was posted here already. Cant see any reason to send that much fuel halfway around the world if your not gonna need it. I'm expecting Iran to hit one of our bases, then its on.

How Israel Built a Secret Drone Army Inside Iran That Humiliated the Mullahs and Crippled Their Nuclear Program​

On June 13, 2025, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a sweeping air and drone strike campaign targeting Iran’s nuclear sites, military assets, and senior leadership. With over 200 aircraft and 330 munitions hitting more than 100 targets, it was the largest attack on Iran since the 1980s. But beyond its scale, the brilliance of the operation lay in its covert dimension: Israeli intelligence had secretly positioned drone systems inside Iran, enabling precision strikes that paralyzed air defenses before the first jets arrived.

Israeli officials have confirmed that Mossad built and operated a secret drone base inside Iran, enabling precision strikes that crippled Iran’s nuclear program and eliminated top IRGC commanders.

Chokepoint Watch: GPS Jamming Impacts Tankers Across Strait Of Hormuz​

Despite Israel and Iran volleying missiles and bombs at one another over the weekend, Brent crude futures showed a surprisingly muted reaction Monday morning, initially gapping higher Sunday evening but flat to down.
Goldman Sachs analyst Ananya Prakash added color about the market's restrained response, telling clients the "situation feels relatively contained" for now, with attention centered on potential supply disruptions—particularly the extreme scenario of Iran moving to close the Strait of Hormuz.
Bloomberg reports a surge in GPS jamming around the Strait of Hormuz, scrambling navigation for more than 900 vessels and hinting at a new form of disruption for the world's most critical maritime chokepoint.

The Joint Maritime Information Center, an international naval task force monitoring the area, warned on Sunday that there are instances of "extreme jamming" of signals from the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas.

Despite reports of "high" GPS jamming across parts of the maritime chokepoint, there are currently no signs of an imminent Iranian blockade. However, any move to choke off the strait, which handles roughly a quarter of global oil trade, would likely send Brent crude futures soaring into triple-digit territory.

Most of the initial reports tend to be misleading. It will be a while till we know how it went. I seriously doubt Netanyahu's call for Iranians to rebel, will have any traction.

If you can't make things better, don't make them worse; comes to mind.

Who has control of the skies over Iran... All reports point to Israel ... Perhaps you can find some to contradict this ... If so post them . At this point there is nothing to dispute who is winning this war at this point in time.

Israel has the advantage of a surprise attack. It may or may not ho!d.

Rumors on the webs are that the US is entering the war soon

- President Donald Trump on Monday urged everyone to immediately evacuate Tehran, and reiterated that Iran should have signed a nuclear deal with the United States.

I would say theres at least a coin flip chance and I don't love it.

Trump is leaving G7 a day early, to return to DC for "important matters"...

Shits going down, Pentagon pizza index just went crazy again

When half the Iranian airforce has been destroyed, it's going to be hard to flip that back.

Isreal massively outclassed Iran in the air when they still had their whole airforce. They're not making that back anytime soon.

Plus, it's not like they're buying any new F4s or F14s to replace their losses.

And I'm not sure Russia is selling many Migs right now either, they need all they can get themselves.

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

Based on Trump's latest tweet telling everyone to leave Tehran immediately and Iran should have listened......

Yea I think shits about to go down. It's definitely not a coincidence that 25+ tankers simultaneously left conus over the Atlantic.....

I think the next level of escalation is about to happen.

How much escalation .. Drop the bunker bombs and that's it ?

Iran isn't going to just allow us to bomb them with no recourse.

They will retaliate. They will need to save face.
When they retaliate and kill Americans or destroy American bases or resources, we will then in turn retaliate to their retaliation and so on.

Nothing good is coming from this.


Rumors that china/Pakistan/Russia sending aid to Iran right now to restock their missiles and provide aid. Pakistan already said they will put Iran under their nuclear umbrella and all Muslim nations should unite.


Shits escalating rapidly

How the Israel-Iran war may develop​

If Iran is losing a conventional conflict, there is a danger that it will resort to unconventional means of retaliation
Israel certainly has achieved rapid and spectacular early successes in this conflict. But taking out Iran’s dispersed nuclear programme, much of it underground, is much more complicated than destroying targets on the ground.
In Washington and Brussels there are concerns that if the Iranian regime is cornered it might lash out in desperation.
In the recent past, the US has accused Iran of having covert biological and chemical weapons programmes. If those fears are correct, Tehran may have the means of striking back at Israeli or American targets in a deadly but deniable fashion.
The International Atomic Energy Agency has also stated that Iran has a considerable stockpile of uranium that is enriched to 60 per cent. It is generally believed that Tehran would need to get to 90 per cent enrichment to make a nuclear weapon. This could be done within days — although weaponisation would take much longer.

Might be why Trump deciding to directly get involved??

 

[Bigfoot]

Pakistan already said they will put Iran under their nuclear umbrella and all Muslim nations should unite.

I heard on a couple of different podcasts that has been debunked.
IDK what the truth is, I'm just saying.

I have not seen any proof of Pakistani leadership taking that stance.
Like a video or some sort of public statement. Maybe I missed it.

You seem to think they have a say in this.

They have about as much say as Afghanistan and Iraq did 20 years ago.

And you are mistaken about the Pakistan thing.

*Iran* said that Pakistan should do that. I suspect Pakistan is a lot less enthusiastic about starting shit with the US than Iran.

 

[Depick]

Watching Trump on the news at the moment. The man looks highly agitated.

“Iran should’ve taken the deal”

Gave me chills.

He is not the man to speak in that manner and not deliver.

Good video

 

[RedBreast21]

Might be something going down over night. Transponders for RAF out of Cyprus and USA C17A aircraft out of Germany turned off entering conflict airspace. Been watching all this since before day 61 expecting something. Haven't seen military transponders. Tracked the RAF coming back. C17A's Transponder went off over Jordan after looping. Also tracked a Chinese air crafts transponder off after entering Iranian airspace. Another non listed passenger airliner at 725 feet riding the southern coast of Iran just disappeared. Something is up.

I might turn on the news.

And among that list why does France need nukes? What have they done in the last 80 years besides a couple conflicts with mixed success?

They gotta have something to drop when they flee

Strait Of Hormuz Disruption Fears Surge After Former Iranian Minister Threatens Transit Restrictions​

JPMorgan's forecast of triple-digit Brent crude prices could soon be a reality as conflict risk in and around the Strait of Hormuz intensifies. The waterway, which handles roughly 20% of global oil trade, remains one of the world's most critical maritime chokepoints. Any disruption, particularly amid growing military escalation between Iran and Israel, could impact energy flows worldwide and send prices soaring.

"Starting tomorrow, for 100 days, no oil tankers or LNG cargoes will be able to pass through the strait without Iran's approval," Khandouzi said.
A blockade of the Strait of Hormuz—the world's busiest oil-shipping channel—would shut down the region's oil trade, supercharging oil prices.

The skinny waterway—at its narrowest point it is only 21 miles (33 km) wide— separating the UAE, Oman and Iran, connects the Persian Gulf with the Indian Ocean, and facilitates the movement of some 30% of the world's seaborne oil trade and 20% of the world's LNG supply (Table 1).
