An Iranian spokesman from the foreign ministry has told the media that there will be an “all-out war” if the United States were to execute some type of kinetic attack. Iran fears that the US Air Force could command B-2 bombers in Diego Garcia to carry out a bombing run to help Israel. The Americans are also sending the USS Nimitz to the region, which would give a full complement of ground strike airplanes like the F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet to menace Iran.

China has just sent large 747 front loading cargo jets the size and type you would need to transport exactly 5th gen air defense. Which China would love to test in real world battle before Taipei kicks off. The place to deploy them is around that critical enrichment program under the mountain if you only had a few That’s where they would be. Better to be safe and let the growlers run point then lose a B2 because the Israelis say hey we got them beat come on down. Then again after the market closes today it would be a good time to hit that compound hard and be done with it. The tankers are in place the B2 come over the pole tank up over the Med and cut in over Israel, Jordan Iraq and into Iran tank up on the outbound over the Med again.
That's just moronic. In the outset of the Yom Kippur War (OCT 6-25, 1973), Israel was invaded by 7+ nations, on all sides. She didn't threaten to use nukes during peacetime, they were facing literal extermination within hours. She authorized 13 weapons to be readied, in case they were needed. In the end, they were not. (Called the Samson Option.)
The only nation that she "threatened" with this information was... the US. She told Nixon that they may have to use them if the US didn't airlift supplies immediately. Nixon did. Israel successfully repelled the jackals, and nukes were not needed after all... nor the threat of them.
That is a far far cry from constant launches of test missiles, and actual constant verbal threats of extermination, broadcast to the world every few days or weeks.
GenX poly math is not as smart as he thinks they are.
Fordow... Frodo, Mordor, whatever... is under hundreds of feet of solid rock. Most ordinance would impact the surface only. You could launch 10,000 and they wouldn't get to the proper depth. You need a special weapon for that target.
Please proofread your prior post.
I included your exact statement in italics, hint hint.
Note that I suspected what happened in your post, so I did not flame you.
After our idiocy in Iraq and Afghanistan, can you blame them for thinking we might get a trifecta?
.
But it would be a lot softer target /S
“No Israeli leader has publicly and unequivocally threatened a nuclear first strike against neighbors in a flagrant manner, as the Samson Option is primarily retaliatory. Eliyahu’s statements come closest to “careless” but were not directed at state neighbors and were officially rebuked. Claims about Ben-Gvir and Smotrich lack sufficient evidence. The broader context of Israel’s deterrence strategy and regional conflicts shapes these perceptions, but explicit first-strike threats remain rare and ambiguous.”
Grok.
Your move.
LOL, not too many mountains have been given an extended massage before, maybe it will like it! ;)
Too many countries that start with an “I”, and a lot are bunched together. That’s bound to cause problems.
IOW, Iran’s master plan for committing suicide.
Give us a reason to attack you.
Make our day.
Trump may just be waiting for an excuse.
Israel is the nation that goes out of its way to warn civilians to clear out to avoid harm.
I have no problem with them having a nuke. I don’t see them using it in that capacity but with the number of countries that hate Israel with a visceral passion and have vowed to destroy it, they’re entitled to have a deterrent.
Israel has never hated America. In fact, the United States was one of the 1st if not the 1st country to acknowledge the formation of the State of Israel back in 1948.
We have almost always stood by Israel as an ally since its formation. To say that Israel is a ‘death cult’Which calls for the death of America Is utter lunacy.
And, by saying that on FR, you run major risk of getting the ZOT.
it would be hard to hang them from an overpass when their heads are removed... with extreme prejudice... by the green party members and liberal Persians who have had their families murdered.
save the rope.
one round, one terrorist.
unmarked and semi desecrated burial spot...
Israel should IMMEDIATELY crater all of Iran’s runways to make sure that no more “aid” flows in from China. I can easily see them giving deliverable nukes to the mad mullahs, not only to damage us and/or Israel, but to divert attention from them and their problems and plots. I honestly don’t know what Israel is waiting for on this issue.
Look at post #39. His post #9 was a typo.
It’s like the old commercial for mufflers (Midas or Meineke) - “You can see me now, or you can see me later.” Iran WILL use those people sooner or later. Do we want to let them work out a coordinated plan later with more devastating consequences (and perhaps a nuke or dirty bomb smuggled in), or do we force their hand now, when the entire regime has been rocked back on its heels and our forces and intelligence people are on a high state of alert? I know that neither is a good choice when compared to peace, but between the 2 of them, the latter is much less unpalatable.
Peace with Iran just isn’t on the table while the theocratic gangsters are In charge over there - and that’s been their choice for the last 46 years.
I understand and respect that POV, and wouldn’t blame anyone for looking with contempt at the lack of our ability to carry through on long-term goals, but Trump is different and won’t let this be a forever war. Just ask the Wagner group, he doesn’t screw around with half-measures.
