“Iran rejects Trump’s ‘helpless, nervous’ 48-hour ultimatum”

Based on reports from early 2026, Israel has consistently indicated that it will not send ground troops into Iran, opting instead for a strategy focused on aerial bombardment, covert intelligence operations, and support for U.S. actions. Experts and reports highlight several key strategic and operational reasons for this decision:
Logistical Impossibility: Israel lacks the logistical capacity to sustain a ground force 1,000 miles away within Iranian territory, making a sustained ground invasion unfeasible for its military size. Strain on Manpower: Israel is a small country and its military is already occupied with multiple fronts, including significant deployments in Lebanon against Hezbollah. Strategic Focus on Air Power: Israel is focusing on aerial bombardment and air strikes to target Iran's nuclear and defense infrastructure, rather than the high-risk endeavor of a ground invasion. Proxy Warfare Realities: While not sending conventional boots on the ground, Israel is likely continuing covert operations and special forces activities inside Iran. Preferring US Action: Reports indicate a strategy where Israel supports U.S.-led operations, allowing the U.S. to take the lead in a potential ground war, minimizing direct Israeli military exposure and potential casualties. (The Times of Israel) wow … minimizing potential casualties, not ok for them but ok for us … there is no logistical impossibility, we can help them get there the same way we would get there |

“40 headless babies poster,” I think the more salient question is are YOU American. All of your bizarre posts point to a resounding NO. You respond to anyone you disagree with as if they’re Israeli. Meanwhile, all you do is take up for the Iranian regime and other Islamic extremists. It’s very clear what your motives are. |

It’s clear who has the reading comprehension problem. I said “executions.” That does not equate to shooting someone in the legs.

Sure. Totally the same. What an idiotic comment. Hegseth has plenty of issues but trying to equate the oppressive and authoritarian terrorist regime of Iran to a dopey guy is just insanity. DP |

How about you stop assuming you know who the poster is or where they are from? I'm the person who mentions the headless babies and I wasn't here the last couple of days. You can mock my mention of it all you want, but that is precisely why you are loathed by most of the world for your attempt to dismiss that horrendous lie incl Biden claiming he saw the videos that led to the *permission* to openly slaughter hundreds of thousands. Really, F*** you for being such a pos for continuing to be flippant about it. Let's get something straight: Your myopic, bigoted world view is done. Your attempt to convince anyone it is an "American" perspective, is done. Iran was NEVER a threat to America. There are countless countries w/ human right violations, including ISRAEL AND SAUDI ARABIA, yet we only seem to target the ones to the benefit of Israel or American hegemony, which is why the leader of SYRIA is literally AL QAEDA. Stop being a worthless, brain-dead stereotype who pretends this was ever about Iran's internal behavior towards its own as we destroy their civilian infrastructure incl. universities, medical institutions and cultural sites that are thousands of years old. The claim of "thousands of Americans being killed by Iran" is garbage that works for limited, low-info idiots who grew up with 3-4 networks where Sunday morning roundtables were comprised of Zionist/Neocon mouthpieces masquerading as in the interests of the American pp. Rubio told everyone why we did this. Because the rabid dog known as Israel forced America's hand when Iran was willing to negotiate to their own detriment and Israel kills negotiator after negotiator precisely because it want this chaos. F*** off thinking that AMERICANS cannot see why this is happening and stupidly telling your racist, bigoted self that you are the *majority* view in America You could not be more "Tel Aviv" in your worldview. |

It’d be great if a) you would provide a source and b) you would quote honestly from said source. In a note to customers sent on March 9 and shared with CBS News by a spokesperson, Planet Labs said there were "genuine concerns of use of Planet data over Iran, as well as an extended window of risk for recent imagery." The company "has decided to take additional, proactive measures to ensure our imagery is not tactically leveraged by adversarial actors to target allied and NATO-partner personnel and civilians," it said. Those controls can include limiting who can request new images or purchase historical imagery, "over areas where U.S., NATO, and other allied and partner forces are actively operating, as well as over areas that are being actively targeted by adversaries," the company said. Vantor has restricted images of U.S. bases and other sensitive sites for years. Vantor said it remained committed to supporting "responsible journalism" by proactively providing imagery of Iran and the Middle East to journalists around the world, while maintaining safeguards. Planet said it consulted with both government and external experts, while Vantor stressed that its decisions were not mandated by any government. In its statement to customers, Planet said it recognized "that timely data is important to your operations" and did not take the decision lightly, while saying it intended "to resume standard service as soon as safety and security conditions permit." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-war-satellite-companies-curb-access-mideast-imagery/ |

If Trump goes too far in bombing Iran, my fear is that China and Russia will intervene. Up to now I don't think any nation has stood up to our dear leader, but how long will they watch us punch Iran in the face. For the future of humanity, someone please 25A this maniac. |

China? The same country that has massacred ethnic Uyghurs with zero complaints from the same morons now virtuously moaning about “poor Iran”? And Russia? The same country who bombed Ukraine mercilessly? Please. They’re not about to “intervene” on behalf of their terrorist friends in Iran. |

Why do you keep repeating that Iran is a terrorist? |

While he is dopey, most certainly, he’s also a white nationalist that follows the teachings of a creepy religious cult, which makes him very dangerous |

Do you know how many oppressive and authoritarian terrorist regimes that are worse than Iran and are there in that region as our friends? So many including Israel. Iran compared to Bahrain and Saudi Arabia and Jordan is 100x better. At least Iran holds elections and has actual presidents not kings. The line of ayatollahs and Islamic theocratic government thing is not going to change even if we kill millions of people. What we are doing there is a pointless effort. They don’t want rainbow flags and feminism. Women and gays there don’t even want it. They think the West is too decadent and showy. They like their lives there. Who are we to play Superman to people who didn’t ask us to be saved? Why is Israel painting this as an altruistic humanitarian effort? There’s nothing humanitarian about roasting people to death with bombs. They should know |

I’m more fearful of Israel or the US using a tactical nuke once the interceptors are totally dry and Iran is striking Israel at their leisure. It already seems like a lot are getting through. |

I think they are already helping Iran covertly with real time satellite imagery and targeting help. |
