How long do you think this level of conflict will last? Days, weeks, months, a year or more?
End of conflict defined here as no more major missile or bomber attacks for an extended period. The kind of attacks that take down buildings.
As long as there’s Muslims and Islam...there’s no end.
That makes sense, because they are motivated by ideology.
As you noted, those numbers are from 2022. I would wager that those numbers have been adjusted downward significantly quite recently. How much lower? Time will tell.
That isn’t true at all.
Iran can Easily reach US military bases in Iraq and Syria right now.
That’s a good point
As long as it needs to until Iran completely capitulates and almost all Iranian-born muslims here are deported. Next question?
one month
If the 9th Century pig fornicators in Tehran keep their promise to close the Straight of Hormuz there may very well be a lot more bombs dropped.
If Israel destroys Iran’s oil refineries, it is over; rulers will be gone to Qatar and population will take to the streets.>>>> That is about the only way to at least temporary halt this. I can’t see bombing some dirt will stop the mullahs. And then they buy some stuff from the NORK’S, or just build dirty bombs and lob them at isreal.
My bet is End of September.
I expect the mullahs to attempt to close the Straights of Hormuz by sinking any and all shipping.
I expect all neighboring and remote powers with the ability to project power to continuously bomb all regime targets, especially ballistic missile launchers (Israel) anti-maritime missile launch sites (gulf Arabs), and Iranian navy assets (U.S.). This will take all Summer to get under control.
By the end of September, I expect essentially all of Iran’s ability to project military power beyond their borders will be extinct.
This will be costly. But it will not be hard.
At the end, the mullahs will have no international power at all. No friends. No weapons. No functioning proxies. If they are lucky, they’ll still be alive and in charge of a Stone Aged “nation”. Odds of a successful organic overthrow of the regime I’d rate at 25%. I see no scenario in which anyone invades.
There ya go! My crystal ball is just as good as anyone else’s…
Iran can’t hit what they aim at. No surprise Tel Aviv is still lit.
Every time Iran launches a missile, it “flashes” on a screen somewhere in Israel. That information is sent to a loitering fighter or drone. Then the launcher is tracked down and if it is found, it is destroyed.
Iran is not making more launchers.
I imagine that when they are out of launchers, the IRG solders will start flinging rocks in the direction of Tel Aviv.
Wrong. Islamic Republic of Iran has fired missiles into civilian apartment buildings, the Weitzman Research Institute, and a large hospital in Be'er Sheva.
3,000 missiles sounds about right.
They had about 200 or so launchers the last I heard.
That number is probably 50 now.
I doubt we’ll see anything from Iran’s population. We’re in the third generation of adults under the mullahs. It’s the only system they know.
Until the Democrats surrender.
With us? Sporadically.
With Israel? For the foreseeable future of 2025.
OK, so you don’t expect Iran to respond to the US bombing at all?

not directed at you,,
they are already,,responding with asinine posts on free republic with posters with fancy latin taglines.

I would advise Israel to beef up their offensive missile supply. They seem over-reliant on aircraft, which are themselves over-reliant on runways.
It is already over. The mullahs are done.
