Iran

I hope so too. Sky News is reporting some damage but no injuries so far.

What could this possibly mean? What are the possibilities?

 

[MAD]

That’s unfortunate, I stand corrected.

 

[KB5252]

Hope you are wrong, but it’s definitely less and less rockets.

I hope I'm wrong too, but that just doesn't make much sense.

Do you think the reports about the IRGC are being exaggerated? Maybe I’m being over optimistic.

Which reports specifically are you referring to?

All speculation and seems nobody really knows but heres a few opinions:

Thanks, my worry here is that we, the US, are going to fly sorties over Iran to drop Moabs onto their underground enrichment facility.

Seems like overkill for a few aircraft though.

Yeah, that one didn't land.

Is Iran running out of missiles? Its rate of attack on Israel is already slowing down, think tank says

Israel has targeted Iran's stockpile of missiles as well as its ability to launch them, according to the Institute for the Study of War.

I hadn't seen this until now

If that's the case then Iran is cooked and they will either need to be bailed out by China or fall.

I could be wrong, but I just don't see China stepping in here. Not sure China sees it as a worthwhile endeavor. Wonder what Russia's thoughts are right about now? This is a big ally potentially going down in flames.

Agree on China. I don't think Russia has much to spare bc of thier Ukraine bs

I don't think they will either. Iran's position is untenable. Carrying Iran doesn't provide China with anything of value.

I’m not sure how accurate that is. Ik their first wave (maybe even first 2) was mostly drones which they launched over 100. Now they’re strictly using ballistic missiles it seems

I saw a post saying they’re not running out of missiles but possibly launchers I’ll see if I can find it

Yea im hoping the US stays out of it… But the repositioning or whatever it is, is a bit concerning

My thought, too. Even if they could, I don't think they would want to mix it up with the likes of Israel when they've struggled with what they thought was a much lesser foe in Ukraine.

 

[lawgator1]

Israel wants regime change there. That's really the end game. And they may get it.

They want to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons first and foremost, but they want both, I agree

This was from their first wave

I hope we stay out too. But having additional refueling capability at this point would probably be a game changer. I would think Israel has hit the most important fixed targets and now needs to spend time in the area looking for opportunities like missile launchers and evasive leaders. Also carrying really heavy bombs for underground targets requires refueling. Maybe we are just going to sell them a few tankers!
