War with Iran

With no embassy in Tehran since 1979, the U.S. relies heavily for intelligence on CIA networks of questionable quality and Israeli assets who have their own country’s interests in mind. So the U.S. did not anticipate that Iran had rebuilt and dispersed significant military capacity since June 2025, nor that it would strike neighbors across the region, including Azerbaijan, widening the conflict well beyond the Persian Gulf.
The war has since reached the Indian Ocean, where a U.S. submarine sank an Iranian frigate 2,000 miles from the theater of war, off the coast of Sri Lanka – just days after the ship had participated in Indian navy exercises alongside 74 nations, including the U.S. The diplomatic damage to Washington’s relationships with India and Sri Lanka, two countries whose cooperation is increasingly important as the United States seeks partners to manage and mitigate Iran’s blockade, was entirely foreseeable. Washington has put them in a difficult position, with India choosing diplomacy with Iran to secure passage for its vessels and Sri Lanka opting to retain its neutrality, underscoring its vulnerable position. But U.S. planners didn’t foresee any of this. The swift military intervention by the U.S. in Venezuela in January 2026 produced rapid results with minimal blowback − appearing to validate the administration’s faith in coercive action. |

Stop pretending like you care so deeply about Iranian schoolgirls. You couldn’t care less about the thousands of innocent protesters murdered by the Iranian regime. But sure, you’re really outraged about the unintentional strike on a school. If you really cared, you would have been outraged back in January and February when Iran’s IRGC mass murdered their own people. And you haven’t said a peep about the recent hanging of three Iranians who were tortured into “confessing.” Hypocrites gotta hypocrite.

DP. You’re posting something from the “Newspaper of the Party for Socialism and Liberation” and asking if it’s a lie??

You can’t even address the post itself, all you have are stupid, childish insults. Why on earth would you post anything from such an absurd “source” and expect to be taken seriously? |

I’ve never seen anyone on this site (A) state that they are pro-Iran, (B) defend Iran’s policies and actions, or (C) refuse to denounce Iran’s policies and actions when they are accused of being pro-Iran, and yet - right outta the playbook you insist isn’t sitting on your desk - you resort to this absolutely ridiculous accusation that there are posters here promoting Iran’s policies and actions. Newsflash: There’s a massive difference between calling balls and strikes fairly (typically, most non-Zionists) and living in this fantasyland world where you think only you’re right, everyone else is wrong, a good guy / bad guy construct exists, and only the “other side” engages in the bad guy conduct (typically, most Zionists). And save it with the Zionism distortion … 90%+ of Zionists are not even Jewish. |

Iran just hit the southern city hosting Israeli nuclear site. No confirmation if the facility was actually hit, but it shows that Iran missiles are getting through that Iron Dome and going hardcore. I guess they were holding out until the conclusion of Ramadan.

Wow, it’s rare to see a poster self-own so completely, so congrats? I’ve bolded the hilarious hypocrisy for you. Maybe you’ll reread it and see your own reflection for once. There have been plenty of nutty posts by people declaring the “Persian Empire” (their words) is winning this war and deserve to be the victors. That’s merely a very transparent way of siding with the Iranian regime. We all know this, so stop playing dumb. Of course there are posters here promoting Iran’s policies and actions. One of them is the crazy person who writes long screeds about the “evil Zionists” - but curiously never mentions the evil Iranian regime. Maybe that’s you? You sure do have the same obsession with “Zionists.” All that’s missing is calling them “devils, parasites, and monsters.” At no time have we seen pages and pages of outrage about the thousands of Iranian protesters who were mass murdered - and again, not a peep about the three who were recently hanged. No condemnation or outrage from your lot. You don’t call balls and strikes fairly. You call out Israel and ONLY Israel (oh, and the US of course) with zero mention of Iran’s atrocities. So spare us your sanctimony and gaslighting. You’re so very transparent. |

I am not the poster you are going back and forth with, but here is an article from the 'London Times' report the following: A report by the FPRI said: “The coalition is not running out of bombs. But it is running out of the high-end systems that enable low-risk, long-range strikes and the systems and munitions needed for regional defence. “Of the 35 munition types we tracked, 21 remain in a healthy condition, with deep inventories and mature production lines. “But the war’s true bill is concentrated in the 14 systems now critically strained — they are disproportionately the systems that make modern air defence credible and long-range strike meaningful.” As Iran war grinds on, Gulf leaders are torn over how it should end The Center for Strategic and International Studies, another think tank in the US, calculated that in the first six days of the war more than 1,000 scarce and expensive “stand-off” munitions were fired. https://www.thetimes.com/world/middle-east/article/how-long-can-us-israel-afford-fight-the-iran-war-9zfglp6t6?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=AWEtsqffp_kyy20DR-05trqS0UQULZ-eZFC-OsPYo24dGKsTq91A0nWAIvFx&gaa_ts=69bf1b82&gaa_sig=oWPX0zllYz0ybGurhaBwjX0JvCaC-ZvLBMxdBvzTn81DPGW8qNQA2Ok5KhQgc9XHTHR5Zu1W7wFc3NrijrN3Jg%3D%3D |

dp - Just stop this bogus holdier-than-thou schtick. Everyone in this thread knows that Iran has done horrible, awful stuff. That fact does not mean that Trump should be bombing Iran in this way at this time. Stop acting like one country's evil justifies another. Or can your brain not handle complex dynamics? |

Nobody owes you a full restatement of ALL conduct they condone and ALL conduct they condemn every single time they publish a post. I certainly don’t. I know you think your simpleton’s Whataboutism is a tactic that still works, but it doesn’t. I owe you absolutely nothing in the way of clarifying how I view anything else. Nothing. Israel’s policies and actions are evil. Anyone who unconditionally defends or supports those policies and actions is either deeply uninformed, deeply disturbed, or irredeemably evil. Indeed, the world will be a much better place for everyone when the diseased ideology of Zionism is vanquished. Anything short of massive systemic reform by the State of Israel will be acceptable to the rest of the world. |

Israel's Interceptor Program is no longer working. I think Iran wore it down, as missiles are flying all over Israel right now.
