Iranian Chill Thread

I mean, theirs alot of talk about IRI intel trying to assassinate some of the people involved in the operation. So whether that's true or not I don't know, but it would be the most logical retaliation rather than a war type situation by doing a military operation.

None of those people were Solemani. They are expendable in the eyes of US government.

Solemani was like a General Patton on steroids.

US clearly feels that not all Iranian generals are created equal. And if you can the “rare” ones off the board then any kinetic consequence short of war is WELL WORTH IT.

Would US try to assassinate General Salami? Or Hajizadeh? I doubt it. They replaceable.

Also remember with Solemani was another 3-6 Quds force officers that were likely his entourage. So Solemani didn’t just die that night, his mini circle did as well.
 
Russia has developed specialized versions of defense systems for UAV interceptions.
There can be two possible reasons for this:
1) systems like S300 or S400 can't intercept UAVs and Cruise missiles.
2) its not economical to intercept small UAVs with costly S400 system missiles.

I will certainly go for first point but second point also holds its worth.

New video on the battle of Carrhae that focuses on the aftermath for the poor roman survivors


Its amazing how well known the battle of teuteborg forest is in the west. which was a classic ambush. But so little is known about this battle. Which was far more destructive for the Romans physically and psycologically.

Julian the apostate was one of the most competent Roman emperors in their history. he led a near 100k Invasion army into Iran. Julian was killed in battle by the Iranian army, his entire remaining army was encircled, and shapur famously imposed a humiliating peace treaty on them in exchange for their lives (which among other things, contributed to stereotypes about Iranians and their historical negotiating skills

Valerian was captured as a slave, and his entire army was slaughtered or captured to the last man. One of the few battles in history where both the Roman emperor, and the Iranian Shahanshah were both personally leading their armies, and both sides brought out the full weight of their respective armies. Including the bulk of the elite forces that usually stayed with the shahanshah/emperor .

If the situation was reversed, and the Iranian king captured. It would have become one of the great events of western history. With 5256 movies and books about it. But nobody knows about it.

You literally have clowns like Trump make claims that "Iran has never won a war, but never lost a negotiation" and not a single person challenges him on the facts... we need to promote our history more.

The Roman era is one of the jewels and pride of western history. After its fall, it was called the "dark ages" as the regressed massively in every department for hundreds of years. Just imagine how powerful Iran was to repeatedly humiliate Rome in their absolute prime?
 
Just your friendly neighborhood Taliban we were told would be such a beacon of hope to society—you know as long as you arent a women or haven’t advanced past the Renaissance period of human history

I wonder who exactly made such a claim?

What we were told, is that they do not pose a security threat to Iran, and in effect they don't.

We were told by knowledgeable and patriotic analysts that "I"SIS-K not Taleban, is the sectarianist-takfiri grouplet that will bomb Shia and even Sunni mosques in Afghanistan. And this too proved totally accurate. Any expert of Afghan affairs will confirm that this country does not have a deeply rooted tradition of anti-Shia violence, nor any widespread movement motivated by this sort of an agenda. Unlike Pakistan, unfortunately, where a significant shiaphobic current holding up to genocidal views actually exists (it's a small-scale minority, of course, but it is present nonetheless). The fact that "I"SIS-K originally appeared in Pakistan and not in Afghanistan is telling in this regard.

Indeed, modern day Afghanistan was never plagued by such a phenomenon until the CIA left their "I"SIS minions behind. Ethnicity-based discrimination, especially against Hazaras yes, but not sect-based marginalization. There is by the way a Sunni community among the Hazaras, and they too were treated as second class citizens. Because historically in Afghanistan the criterion for social, economical and political discrimination has been language or so-called ethnicity, but not religious denomination.

Concerning the dress code and other such domestic issues, since when is Iran supposed to go on a human rights crusade, a feminist one at that, and meddle in the affairs of neighboring states? It's not Iran's business what the Taleban decide in this area, unless they try to impose it on Iran. Their country, their rules. One may express one's individual disapproval with stricter hejab rules, but let's not extrapolate by presenting this as some sort of an alarming political challenge to Iran because it isn't, nor by equating the Taleban with "I"SIS because that would smack of ignorance or of deliberate fallacy.

So as long as the Taleban do not show any signs of wanting to undermine Iran's interests or Iran's national security, any notion of "preemptive" action against them is mindless. The day they actually commit a serious offense against Iran is the day Iran should respond with full force. And no, it is not guaranteed that they will, nor do their hejab laws imply anything in this regard.

In the meantime, narratives trying to bring into focus every single debatable Taleban policy as if they had any bearing on Iran, are just there to create animosity, in hopes of generating a conflict where there is none. Equally clear is the identity of powers which are actively seeking to drag Iran into unnecessary military adventures, while at the same time propagating against the actually warranted and inevitable interventions. It's enough to notice that Iranian reformists and moderates i.e. the west's fifth column are the only ones keen on picking a fight with Afghanistan - the same people who oppose Iran's support for the anti-zionist Resistance, the same people who had a problem with Iran rescuing an allied government in Syria.

It actually shows how desperate this front has become about the fact that no security threat has emanated from the Taleban. They're so hopeless that the only option they're left with, other than using their infiltrated agents both in Iran and Afghanistan to try and provoke some clash, is to rehash western secularist discourse about primitive Taleban oppressing women and homosexuals.

“A feminist one at that”?

Your post implies that if it was a man’s rights being negatively impacted then there would grounds for intervention? At the very least it’s poorly worded to make it seem like you think women’s rights are trivial affairs to worry about. At worst, well.....let’s not go there.

rehash western secularist discourse about primitive Taleban oppressing women and homosexuals.

Your admiration for “low security threat” that emanates from Taliban rule is high. But the more they crack down on women (who you may or may not care about) and on the youth, the more you are going to see an exodus of Afghans to Iran’s borders and Pakistanis borders. The more refugees who will try to enter Iran. Which again puts a strain on Iran’s limited resources. This is why Iran wants an inclusive government in Afghanistan and stability and basic human rights.

Taliban went on a PR spree saying how 2022 is not 1998 and now they have supposedly evolved and moderated. I and others were very skeptical of this. Others weren’t.

Well it appears Taliban think they can take Afghanistan back to 1998 and the fact is they cannot. Afghan society has drastically changed in that 20 years. It’s like taking Iraq back to Saddam like rule. This only going to lead to further destabilization. ISIS will be able to exploit this fractionalization in society to conduct more attacks and grow. They did this well in terrorist held areas of Syria.

Now you are correct what happens in another country should be the affairs of that country....to an extent. Except Iran helps the oppressed around the Middle East (Yemen, Syria, Palestine, Bahrain). Afghanistan is no different. Their people are being repressed, but as long as it’s not by a Western backed agent country it seems you say we should look the other way. Even in some hypocritical world if that were true, what happens in Afghanistan has a direct bearing on Iran’s borders for better or for worse.

You think refugee crisis is bad now, just wait till next winter with wheat prices soaring around the world and Taliban not able to provide to the entire country.

I'll blame the Iranian cinema industry not dealing with such epic story.

Their land, their rules. As simple as that .
