The other thing that is incredibly obvious is that Iran's 🇮🇷 "allies" are all talk and largely allergic to meaningful action. In the Realpolitik word that we live in, nobody is rushing to Iran's aid or defense, regardless of how connected they are ethically, morally, religiously, etc.

It's time like these when you see who has friends and allies, and who is simply "all talk".

No and no, with all due respect. Iran will not disintegrate. Iran has pathetic military, we all know that. But one should remember that People of Iran has some unity, it may be argued more united than us.

Yes, they have a lot different brances but their unity based on secterianism and religious one, not nationalistic. This is a deep topic regarding sociology. I will not get into that but what you say is the same presumption of Saddam and others 45 years ago.

Changing regime, may be, but I do not believe it is going to happen under Israeli attack, either.

Theocracy has rotted that nation from within completely.

No, Iran has an enormous secular youth that is on the brink of boiling point, and they have no love for the theocratic regime.

They have never been our friends, ever.

Lets be honest, if Israel really prevents them getting nukes, it will be good for us. In the end they will likely throw those nukes to us before Israel.

But frankly, one the most ancient people on earth, very deep culture, highly educated people who are good at science and arts, extremely rich natural resources and with unlimited potential; these mullahs turned Persians into poor, beaten and disrespected nation.

Certainly agree that. They want change, but getting attacked by your biggest enemy and disintegration are different things.

May be regime may change after the war. But now, whoever attempts that, will be seen as "the man of Israel or USA"

Fuck them and their history, they're the enemy. Stop showing weakness towards them or any other enemy... Those 2 having a war is good as long as our clowns don't take them in.

bingo, both are geopolitical enemies. arguably isreal is the greater threat moving forward but neither are our friends. As for the Iranians its hilarious in seeing how quickly their defeatist mindset sinks in. decades of big talk but the moment they actually get slapped all of them are quick to throw the towel in.

The palestinians have had the equivalent of multiple atom bombs being dropped on them over the past year and their still fighting strong.

Here we go. Wanted dead infographic of Israel. At some point, I expect Israel to start killing the religious curia and the supreme leader of the regime to create chaos.

I always suspected that yassar arafat was compromised, everyone around him was being assassinated except for him. I suspect a similar thing is taking place in Iran with the supreme leader.

Russia, Lebanon (Hezbollah), Iraq, Yemen (Houthis). They're also friendly with the likes of China. The list continues to grow if we talk about countries that have serious opposition to Israel's actions in the region, but won't dare get involved with the conflict for a variety of reasons.

What’s the logic of attacking Iran just when the Americans and Iran were engaging?

Israel does not want peace between Iran and USA. They want U.S. (and regional) help in defeating Iran and gaining regional supremacy of sorts.

What is the life expectancy of the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces? Under current circumstances, it may be one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.
