Breaking: U.S. Expected to Strike Back for Iran’s Downing of Drone

actually the only branch of our armed forces that is better than yours is our navy (IRGCN and IRIN)
good because certainly we will send our ground forces to your bases in region.
my friend there are almost 300 k pro Iran forces in Iraq also the Kurdistan between two country is on top of a mountain named zagros.

guys how we should response american aggression if it happens??
i say with fully offensive one, because if we play tit for tat we will lose, we should capture their bases with the leftover of their soldiers, and execute them if US provokes again.

Who cares. If its war its war. Im not rooting for one or the other. Let them both burn.

Screw america. Screw iran.

Pakistan first!
 
Trump backed down almost immediately after approving the strikes against Iran. Media sources are citing lack of support from some of the allies (I suspect the EU allies).

US looks extremely weak since they started ramping up pressure on Iran. Fact of the matter is, US has blinked countless times in their latest stand-off against Iran, thus making them look weak.

No lie detected.
 
I'm iraq? ....I don't think the host nations will stand by with flowers....they run on American aid money.....not Iranian
.
No, Iraq runs on Iraqi oil money. You think US would be there doing "charity"without IRaqi oil being available? dont be naive.
 
that fast moving small boats have the same firepower as this:

compare to this:

so several hundreds of these will be quit deadly.
also our navy has almost 30 subs in region. and i don't even mention our frigates and missile boats.

View attachment 566212

tell that to your worried politician and generals.

it will end in three days, by reducing US bases in region.

so you are indian??

SO only indians can use pakistani air space ??? HAHhahaha

we have bases inside pakistan....look up your map...

* You cant attack bases in turkey...cause if you do.....best excuse for all of NATO to jump in

* you cant attack afghanistan...cause if you do...you will loose any real influence you have in that area...and would prop up the taliban even more...who are pretty anti-shia

* you dont have the balls to attack bases in pakistan...everyone knows that....but the pakistanis have to obey arab orders. ...since they run on arab money and oil......any disruption in oil supply from the arabs to pakistan will mean......essential collapse of pakistan.

* Maybe in saudi arabia or uae....but that would bring in the Arab coalition..lead by pakistan....LOL...

Stop thinking you can punch ABOVE your weight......you are IN no position to wage war....

you are close to being broke.......your economy is in shambles...there have been protests inside iran due to economy.....spend way too much on proxies in the region.....

you cant even sell the ONLY EXPORT that your entire economy is built on......OIL .

your air force is close to non existent....lol....old american planes from the times of shah.....all your ground forces will mean zilch......if you dont control the skies.....and considering IRAN is surrounded by US air bases.....lol..good luck.

i dont know much about your anti-air......but im guessing they are Russian based ?? even if you shoot down some planes....they will be taken out ....

In every scenario...IRAN is outmatched...out gunned and pretty much Out of any real choice...if there is a war.

Ahem...i dint even include Israel...in this discussion.....

:p
 
Not sure how people missed it but the altitude here is very significant.

"At the time of the intercept, the RQ-4 was operating at high-altitude approximately 34 kilometers from the nearest point of land on the Iranian coast," he said.

That is an equivalence of 111548.556 feet altitude. If Iranian air defense systems, especially locally produced ones, can reach that high, then Iran has game-changing air defense systems in its disposal. This definitely makes any attacks on Iranian inland assets very difficult to achieve.

is that real, thats quite high
 
So much nonsense over an unarmed drone being shot down 15.000 km away from the US shore and less than 40 km away from a regional countries surface-to-air-missile.

As per the same CENTCOM the Houthi's shot down an MQ-9 over Yemen using an SA-6 surface-to-air missile less than 3 weeks ago. Big deal.

The only reason why the US has not retaliated or carpet bombed Iran is due to the US being a representative democracy (people are tired after the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan), Trump not wanting to lose the reelection as one of his key promises was not to engage in any new war and the Iranian Mullah regime suiting regional US policies and them preparing some kind of "enemy" or tension in the region, similar to their rule during the Iran-Iraq war where they played out both sides.

However the same US and Israel have been carpet bombing Iranian positions in Syria time and time again without any replies so expect something similar to occur again over the shooting down of an unarmed drone.

Most likely this was a bait as well. The US are masters when it comes to using such situations to their advantage and to cook up some bogus claim and invade/strike foreign country x or y.

Not due to Iran being some kind of "superpower" that the US would have no chance against even if fighting 15.000 km away from home.

That and the US not wanting Sunni Arab/Sunni Muslim domination of the region as seen by their involvement in Iraq and everywhere else. Israel has similarly no interest to destroy Hezbollah. They even tolerated their growth just next door in the early 1980's when Iran post-revolution was very weak even for regional standards.

I read a few posts moments ago and saw one of @Falcon29 's post that basically told what all this is about.

Interestingly the Arab regimes have no interest in combating Iran even though if just 1/3 of Arab countries joined such a war and went all out, the winner would be clear due to the 10 times greater firepower, manpower, economic power, geographic size, resource richness of just 1/3 of the Arab world. Not to mention 1 times (at least) the amount of religiously motivated people as there are people in Iran, lol.

But let the Iranian regime followers "celebrate" this imaginary victory while the US continues to destroy their economy, add new sanctions all while 100's (if not 1000's) of ordinary Iranians are dying due to lack of medicine. That at least used to be the case until very recently. That and 80 million big Iran, flooded with oil and gas, having a smaller economy than 10 million big UAE. Some "victory". Meanwhile the US continues to piss on the regime and even publicly withdraws from (apparently) binding agreements (nuclear deal).

Its a misconception to assume it would be Pakistanis. Just like the GCC are at war with Yemen ... Yet no Pakistanis involved.

If america goes to war with Iran it would be more like the First Gulf War. American airforce , american missiles, american rapid forces backed by Arab GCC ground forces ....and possibly special forces of Israel to ensure the key nuclear installation are taken out.

the yemni war ....in no way comparable to iranians. ...its a small one that pakistan could afford to avoid.

pakistan will not be able to play neutral if GCC goes to war with the iranians.

besides the arabs have the worst ground forces....they will demand pakistan or egypt to lead

Honnestly, do you knew what carpet bombing means ?

Are you sure because last time I checked the same Arabs have created larger empires and more of them than anyone else in the Muslim world and the world with very few exceptions (very short-lived Mongol empire, British empire that I can think of) aside from being the most influential group of people in almost every front in the region.

Last time I checked Arabs have been involved in all the major wars of the region as well unlike anyone else. Last time I checked Arabs (Sunni Arabs) in Iraq alone inflicted more harm on the US than anyone else since the Vietnam War. That includes 17+ years of warfare in Afghanistan.

Last time I checked Egyptians are Arabs as well.

Finally, who told you that the GCC is interested in any invasion or vice versa? If the Iranians were interest in a war they had 40 years to attack KSA, the GCC and Arab countries.

On the other hand the same Arabs (Iraqis) inflicted more harm and conquered more land in Iran than vice versa despite Iraq being outnumbered 2.5 times and being a 3 times smaller country. Just 1 Arab country.

Last time I checked the most feared and heavily armed militias and unconventional forces of the world are Arab too.

So much nonsense.

Honnestly, do you knew what carpet bombing means ?

Yes, getting bombed heavily and having your men and infrastructure destroyed without a reply the other way around.
