Iran has sent a warning to the United States that it will carpet bomb its own territory to attack any American troops landing there, according to diplomats from a third country who passed on the threat to Washington.
Omg. As a parent of a son on active duty, this is terrifying. Please make it stop. |
Without an air force ? |
Looking at the war in Ukraine as a guide to what modern warfare is like, an air force isn’t necessary to obliterate soldiers. More than 80 percent of casualties are now caused by cheep drones. And Iran is very advanced when it comes to drones. It is very unfortunate that Trump and Hegseth ignored the generals and launched this breathtakingly reckless war. It’s not 1990 anymore. The battlefield has changed. There aren’t any good military options in 2026. |
It is relative to Afghanistan as PP noted. If you could read or write you would have seen that. |
If we invade the island to control the strait, we will have no missile capabilities. It would be a bloodbath. Just stupid. |

According to Press TV, the Iranian official outlined five conditions under which Tehran will agree to end the war.
They include: An end to “aggression and assassinations”. “Concrete” guarantees preventing the reoccurrence of war against Iran. Payment for war damage and reparations. End of war on Iran and against “all resistance groups” across the Middle East. Recognition of Iran’s sovereignty over the strait of Hormuz. |
How much anti-missile material do you think those troops are going to land with? I have to think the real military leaders who report to Hegseth won't allow it to happen. |
Why doesn't Israel just drop a nuke? They've already dropped multiple equivalents on Gaza without too much backlash |
Kharg island sits 16 miles off the coast of Iran. They don't need an air force to shoot the place up. It will be like shooting fish in a barrel. |
Yes, Ukraine has demonstrated that cheap drones can inflict large amounts of damage. The rules are entirely different now. |
Looks reasonable to me (and other normal people). What’s your source for this? |
