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

[ArabianEmpires&Caliphates]

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

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 interested in a war they had 40 years to attack KSA, the GCC and Arab countries. You are dreaming if you think that US has any say in what we do. They wanted Arab ground troops in Syria years ago. How many do you see? Let me answer for you, a grand total of zero Arab armies except for the local SAA.

We are not a failed or sanctioned country for us to risk years of development for some stupid war. The Yemen involvement is enough. Whatever hostilities the Mullah's have with half of the world is not our problem but their own.

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.

Also guess who was the first line of defense of Iran? You guessed it right, Arabs in Iran. Houthis, last time I checked, are Arabs as well.

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.

That's not carpet bombing .
Carpet bombing means for example you fill 20 B-52 with iron bombs and make them fly at high altitude in formation and then blindly empty those bombs over enemy position or cities . Honnestly I never saw it after Vietnam war.

English is my third language. Semantics. Bombing, attacking, carpet bombing, same ****. The US and Israel has repeatedly attacked Iranian troops and infrastructure (bases) in Syria without much of a reply if any directly towards the US in its vicinity. Using proxies to fire some firecrackers into Israel or some fire crackers that are landing in the Iraqi desert is a weak reply.

I honestly don't know what you guys are celebrating. 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.

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. This gave them the excuse to add more sanctions and be sure that they will reply militarily one way or another. Just fueling the flames of a war that you cannot win and that will come at an incredibly high cost. You are playing right into the hands of your enemies. More stunts like seen in the past few weeks and there will come a point where a reply will be given. By then there will be no empty bravado or senseless "bragging".

But the logic here among pro-Mullah Iranians is that Iran is "winning" despite having a smaller economy than 10 million big UAE and being sanctioned and humiliated publicly. Trump tore that nuclear agreement in 1 million pieces and now you are giving the neo-cons more excuses to further hit you. But, but, you shot down an unarmed drone, 15.000 km away from US land and right under your nose, that the US can reproduce within 1 day so you quite clearly "won".

 

[A.P. Richelieu]

is that real, thats quite high

That is the distance from Iran land on a map, not the height.

Obviously, having English as a third language does not count for anything.
Bombing is not the same as carpet bombing.
Carpet bombing is saturating a target with bombs in a single attack,
If you spend a year to bomb a village, one bomb per day, until each house is destroyed, it is not carpet bombing.

Thank you for stating the obvious. This is a forum not a diplomatic setting. Semantics at that too. My initial point still stands very clearly and the point cannot be missed. Getting attacked several times (successfully) in Syria (widely documented) and there being little to no traces left of said bases could count as carpet bombing depending on how eager you are to call just that.









There have been numerous of such attacks. Without any direct reply or attack on US or Israeli military targets.

You see this is carpet bombing.

And about the celebration well there is two difference between what we did and what Houthis did.
Rq-4 and MQ-9 for the start have a difference price tag of let say mere 210milion dollars .
Second Houthis destroyed a drone that had no defence against SAMs, we hit the top of the line and for doing that we managed to defeat one of the best countermeasure system available to everybody in the world.
And third we did it with a system designed by ourselves. If it was s-300 that did it then good for Russia but it was our 3rd of My order that did it and that deserve being happy.

bhappy.by the way can somebody explain to me how USA and Israel systematically destroy our equipment and infrastructure in Syria but in doing so they only kill syrian soldiers not Iranian ones ?

 

[Wa Muhammada]

Yawn....so the mighty USA chickened out

 

[Hassan Al-Somal]

Yawn....so the mighty USA chickened out

According to media reports, Pentagon officials warned Trump about the the ramifications of such an attack. It looks like Trump has heard them this time; however, the war hawks and neocons are still lurking behind the curtain.

Frankly, until sanctions are lifted from Iran, it looks like the air-for-tat will be occurring.

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

It will be led by the American because the jewish masters will not leave it to the arabs for another debacle like yemen.

Pakistan will never have any appetite or any desire for a conflict against iran... Even with Saudi pressure.

 

[ARMalik]

I said most effective way...not the most realistic one...

JEsus...you guys so uptight...

Response of a typical ignorant indian with a big mouth.

Obliterating a target by many successive attacks only counts as carpet bombing in desperate propaganda channels that try to twist words.

 

[Mithridates]

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

no but only an indian would point toward few US bases in pakistan out of many in region.
but for the rest of your comments i will not discuss but just saying this: 450 k missiles.

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.

This clown is back with his 500th fake account.

Moron, let me know when your kind can develop systems that can shoot down a HALE systems flying at 50,000 feet with only one missile. You people can barely even shoot down Houthi UAVs.

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.

IQ of a camel.

MQ-9 is nothing compared to the RQ-4 in terms of speed and flight ceiling.

And these Houthi systems are mostly Iranian anyway.

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.

What a load of crap. Iran made him look like a weak toddler. He claimed time and time again if Iran targets American assets that he will retaliate, yet he did not do jack.

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.

None-sense. you seems to lack the IQ to realise that Iran does not want to give the Americans/Israelis an excuse to go all out in Syria. Let the situation in Syria stabilise properly, then you'll see. It will be like Lebanon where these zionists do not have the balls to make a move.

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.

Yeah, they let Iran shoot down a $200million+ system as a bait and for that? so trump can have a twitter rant LOL.

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.

Iran does not need to be a superpower to humiliate these yankees.

That and the US not wanting Sunni Arab/Sunni Muslim domination of the region as seen by their involvement in Iraq and everywhere else.

What on earth are you blabbering about?

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.

So Israelis deliberately allowed hezbollah to get to where it is? You're getting dumber by the second.

nterestingly 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.

You jokers would not last 2 weeks were it not for American protection. This is according to the Americans themselves.

But let the Iranian regime followers "celebrate" this imaginary victory

This imaginary victory where Iran wrecked one of America's most expensive air asset and they don't have the balls to retaliate? Don't clown yourself. No other nation is showing the balls to do anything remotely close to this.

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

Sanctions will force Iran to stop reliance on oil, US dollar etc. Iran will come out of this more robust.

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).

If UAE was under even 1% of the sanctions Iran was under, it would be turned back to the sandy $hit hole it was before the British invented them as a state

No sane person takes your "indigenous" (copies of foreign systems) nonsense seriously.

All Houthi terrorist cult drones that have tried to enter KSA territory have been shot down.

Numerous Arab countries have higher IQ's than Iran. KSA and Iran have the exact same IQ as per all such studies.

Camels were the second most expensive animal for millennia in the ancient world second only to the Arabian horse. Is this supposed to be some kind of insult all while there are tons of camels in Iran?

Sure, in a fantasy world. They are mostly Russian in origin.

Sure, Trump and the US is afraid of "mighty" Iran. Give me a break my Arabized clown.

Sure, the US/Israel has just been bombing and killing your "soldiers" in Syria at will (posted some photos above) without a reply whatsoever.

200 million is nothing for the US. Absolutely nothing. They are looking for your retarded Mullah's to take the bait and it seems (in sheer desperation due to your collapsing economy) that they are doing just that.

As if anyone takes some blabbering seriously. Arabs created empires larger than anyone in the region (by far) and some of the largest and most numerous millennia before the US was even a country. I can post 100's of similar videos about Iran from Trump or any country be it Canada, Mexico, Russia, China, Germany, UK etc.

40 years of sanctions and no signs of "more robust". Just more economic misery and more anti-Mullah sentiments. Trillions of USD wasted as well (potentially) due to sanctions, isolation, retarded foreign policy etc. 500.000 lives lost during the Iraq war alone etc. with no gains whatsoever or territory conquered. UAE is a confederation of emirates that existed long before the UK even existed and half of the UAE is mountainous. In any case, have you ever taken a look at the map and realized that most of Iran is desert and mountains as well? Or maybe it is some lush jungle comparable to Congo, lol.?

Give it a rest dude and continue "celebrating" your victory while the US and international community continues to piss on your regime, rip up international deals with no care in the world, sanction your country and make your economy collapse to the detriment of your people. Keep wasting billions on failed proxies as well. Will give you some "victories" on PDF.

Shooting down and unarmed drone 40 km away from your border operated by a country located 15.000 away all while Houthis shot down a similar US drone in Yemen as well. An unprecedented achievement indeed. Time will tell if it was a wise thing though as I am sure that the US (even with an anti-war Trump as president) will give a fitting reply in due time. New sanctions were added as well. Worth much, much more than 200 million USD.
