Israel cannot let this regime survive, because then the mullahs will get the nuclear bombs from North Korea. Even if US retreats, given the pressure on oil prices, Israel will continue until a more docile Iranian gov is established. There is no turning back now. And the next target is Pakistan, to deprive the muslim world from nuclear capability. That is why Israel signed that pact with India. We need to arm like there is no tomorrow.
There is a risk that Iran could get nukes from North Korea. I have to ask, though, why has Iran not already done that?

If Pakistan is not able to attack Israel now or in the foreseeable future, why would Israel want to attack it?

Why would Pakistan attack Israel? Countries and governments be it democratic, autocratic or theocratic first care about their wellbeings, then their people's wellbeings. Israel is not a threat to Pakistan; it's barely on its periphery.

We cannot answer such question, should ask the person in Isreal who claim to attack Pakistan.
I remember someone also claim that will attack China, btw.

Only two bombs can preventing us to get into a WW3. Like it or not, believe it or not. But if the whole mankind is in a serious dangerous, they have to do, what is necessary.

Iran say they not sent any BM to Azerbaijan. :unsure:
They also say there is no missile shot to Turkey.
How many spy in Iran?

The Iranian regime to get to this point has shown decades of stupidity, however i dont think while the anglo-american zionist agenda is destroying them that they would dare to create a situation that would cause both Turkiye and Azerbaijan to collectively intervene in the north.

If Iran wanted to send missles, drones, they would send 10, 20, 30, basically a significant amount to create a situation. Not one, not two. But the problem is this regime is as thick as pig shit. And notoriously Persians have a history of showing extreme arrogance and hostility in places they never needed to which ultimatly led to their demise.

But its also worth keeping in account there was a situation not so long ago where it was either the USA or Isreal bombed their men and the iranian retaliation was to send missiles into pakistani and missiles into Turkish controlled idlib. So they got a history of being really dumb. On top of this you are really looking at a peoples that spent the last 1000 years under foreign occupation, doing dumb shit and losing badly is in their DNA.

The agenda is ultimatly the balkanisation of iran, the zionists want all ethnic groups to rise up against iran. The only thing they don't want is the Turks to unite over it. The balkanisation process was pushed by them in iraq, syria, libya, sudan, somalia, etc etc.

And despite the Turkic peoples being the second largest ethnic group in iran, no western media talks about them or arming them to form their own state.

@Iskander what is oppinion in Azerbaijan on this war, on Iranian Azeris and on this mentining of Kurdish attack (in which I doubt)
Baku's official statements toward Iran have been neutral and conciliatory regarding the ongoing war. Despite Iran's repeated threats of military intervention to protect Armenian separatists during and after the Karabakh War, as well as various military exercises near our borders, Baku has only called for prudence. After the 12-day war, Tehran immediately ceased threatening us, and relations between our countries began to improve. However, a war provoked by the Israeli-American attack on Iran could change many things.
You are likely aware that millions of Azerbaijani Turks live in northeastern Iran. If the ayatollahs in Tehran lose control of the country and general chaos reigns in Iran, I believe Baku will be forced to act under public pressure.

Meanwhile, President Aliyev issued a very strong statement, demanding an official apology from Tehran for the Iranian drone strike on Azerbaijani territory. Aliyev stated that the Azerbaijani army has been put on combat alert.
We'll see what happens next.


Regarding the Iranian Kurds.
That the US, the USSR, and before them the British Empire, eagerly exploited the Kurds, promising them assistance in establishing a Kurdish state across the territories of four countries, is not just a historical fact; we are witnessing it in real time. The Soviets even succeeded in this in Iran: the Russians (jointly with the British) occupied Iran in 1941, and in 1945, rejecting a troop withdrawal agreement, proclaimed the "Kurdish Democratic Republic." A year later, when the Russians were forced to leave Iran, Tehran, with the help of the British Air Force, bombed the Russian-Kurdish "republic." I don't rule out the possibility that the Americans could do the same. Especially since we recently witnessed this in Syria.

Information pollution has appeared in global media, and even in Chinese media. :oops:

The NOTAM is very timely, airspace of Azerbaijan is too busy, that there is no doubt that some evil forces would consider attempting to shoot down an airliner.
Then blaming it on a country without air superiority, and its airspace filled with stealth fighters.

If the madman Hegseth were here, he would answer you in perfect tones: "Deus Vult!" (As God wills!) and look you straight in the eye with his idiotic, determined gaze. 🙂

Colleague, madmen are the same everywhere: in the West and in the East.

Since Hegseth is not here, I will say a few words in his defense: he is not the maddest; there are madder ones.
Although that seems impossible.

The British Ministry of Defense confirms that the drone that hit British base in Cyprus was not launched from Iran.

Others suggest Hezbollah from Lebanon. I go along with that.

The number of missiles being launched by Iran is said to be falling every day, presumably through launch sites being hit. Stopping drone launches will be far more difficult, I imagine.

I think Iran has had a policy of aggression since the republic was founded. It was attacked in the hope of ending that aggression, wasn't it?

Killed thousands of its own citizens for religious reasons when first founded
Wants to destroy the US
Wants to destroy Israel
Wants to develop nuclear weapons which it might use against Israel
Supports armed groups undermining other countries
Killed many thousands of its own citizens in January for protesting - not for taking up arms against the regime
etc

I think the world would be a better place without an aggressive Iran. Ditto the US. Ditto Israel.

You can't justify aggression by one party and excuse it for others. Sadly all these bombs flying around in the area of the Gulf are unlikely IMO to achieve anything constructive. Without a change of thinking in the government in Iran, Iran will continue to be a threat to peace in the area. Its people will continue to suffer the effects of sanctions.
And Israel doesn't have a policy of agression?I think the sole reason Iran is being bombarded is because they never created a working nuke...

which would practically mean a drone launched by Iran from any other launch site. So far Iran don’t seem to be striking, hitting targets haphazardly even if not strategically top level selection.

Because Israel is paranoic. Neither Pakistan nor Türkiye is a threat to Israel. Yet Israel would attack countries around it just because they openly criticize its actions. For instance, in Syria Türkiye just wants to have a stable and prosperous government, and yes under some Turkish influence. But why is this an existensial threat to Israel? But if Israel continues this way Türkiye will indeed take care of it.

The video shows the downing of an Iranian Yak-130 combat trainer by an Israeli F-35I fighter jet near Tehran. An Israeli AH-64D helicopter attacks an Iranian Shahed-136 kamikaze drone. Israeli Air Force and drone strikes against an Iranian Mohajer-6 UAV, anti-aircraft guns, missile launchers, and other equipment are also shown. In response, Iran attacks American military bases, but no videos of these strikes are published. Satellite imagery confirms these attacks. It is worth noting that the United States and Israel have overwhelming technical and quantitative superiority in air power, naval forces, and satellite reconnaissance over Iran.

I think that had Iran got close to creating a nuke it would have been attacked as it has been in the last year. Had it shut down its enrichment programme, I don't think it would have been subject to major attack as it is experiencing now.

Israel clearly has a policy of aggression through the proxy of settler aggression on the West Bank, effectively endorsed by the Israeli police. Lebanon? Does Israel attack Lebanon because it wants to annexe it? Gaza: I think Israel's aggression is intended to force the population into Egypt so that it can be annexed with minimal population.

The people in Gaza, through tolerating or supporting Hamas, the Lebanese next to Israel by having Hezbollah in their midst, have done some damage to life and property in Israel. Not a good strategy in my view: they gave Israel the opportunity/excuse to strike back, causing major damage to life and property.

Now Iran appears to be making the same mistake: causing minor damage to surrounding countries and Israel, inviting major damage to itself.

Will Gaza, Lebanon and Iran benefit from the actions taken by Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime against Israell? I don't see it. I see them finding themselves in a much worse position than would have found themselves if there had been no Oct 7, had Iran not had a policy of doing to Israel what Israel has done to Gaza.

Do I think that Israel should have been created: no. But it was and there is no real prospect undoing that now.

Dendias' statement on the withdrawal of 40,000 Turkish soldiers from the island causes anger in Turkey, which knows that after the war in Iran everything changes. The Turkish occupation army in Cyprus has no future, due to the plans of Israel and the US in the wider Eastern Mediterranean region.
Israel, after the upcoming neutralization of the Iranian Mullahs, will deal extensively with Cyprus and the occupation army, which numbers 40,000 men, along with the air force base in Famagusta, which threatens the region.
It was not just a coincidence that yesterday's statement by the Minister of National Defense Nikos Dendias to ALPHA, who said that "Turkey has 40,000 soldiers in the occupied territories and that it is probably a good opportunity to withdraw them".
The Minister of National Defense did not make a simple statement, but he is certainly aware of the broader plans on the island, after the creation of the military axis of Greece, Israel and Cyprus, with the island being an extension of security in the region, outside of Turkey.
We immediately had a message of support for the Turkish Cypriots from the Turkish Ministry of Defense, reiterating that Turkey is on their side and remains their main supporter.
Sources in the Turkish Ministry of Defense refer to the pseudo-state, saying that Turkey "as in the past, so today is on the side of the Occupied Cypriots and supports them."
The Turkish Ministry of Defense also states that Ankara will not hesitate to use the powers that, as it states, derive from the status of guarantor power, against actions that, according to the Turkish side, threaten the security of Turkish Cypriots.
The same sources say that Turkey remains determined to ensure the security of Turkish Cypriots and support stability on the island.
Words, many words, since the attack on Iran by Israel and the US is changing the map of the Middle East completely on behalf of the Israelis mainly.
The Kurds, who have been sidelined for years, are now re-entering the huge "security" equation that Israel is seeking, with Trump's most likely acceptance.
Considering the fact that Israel is a small country, long and narrow without strategic depth, it gives a special dimension to the Cyprus factor, both for the movement of its civilian population, and for the temporary hosting of its fighter jets and warships, if required - since its entire territory is demonstrably within range of Iranian missiles and drones, with Tehran maintaining a wait-and-see attitude at this stage.
In general, Cyprus has acquired, due to Israel's wars with Hamas-Hezbollah and now Iran, enormous importance for Tel Aviv and Washington's interests in the Middle East and the Southeastern Mediterranean.
Another "issue" is the British bases on the island, which in our opinion is the easiest to resolve, since in reality they operate for the benefit of the US-NATO in the region, either by naming them NATO, or by continuing their operation as they are following an agreement between the United Kingdom and the US-NATO.
When we take this step, then Cyprus will officially be transformed into a huge NATO base that will control both the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East, and the presence of 40,000 fully armed Turkish soldiers will be unnecessary.
The reason is Turkey's neo-Ottoman policy which, no matter how we do it, no matter how the Turks carry it, clashes head-on with the plans of Israel and the USA.
Just because Türkiye got a bit stronger militarily and improved its relations with some african and arab countries does not mean ottoman empire will be reestablished, not even in a symbolic sense. I am not a big fan of ottomans as they did not favor Turks enough. And they were very lenient towards others. Look you can speak greek language, no one did anything to jews. On the contrary they protected them. Greece and Israel‘s current attitude is totally wrong. You will awaken a sleeping angry lion and this time you guys will search for the ottomans with a candle.

Well i am not a fan of Iran's regime but objectively it is fighting for survival vs US and Israel now.It won't be thinking about future consequences now...
Will in your opinion US manage to "liberate" Iran with air strikes only?

I am no expert but I don't think that will happen. I guess that a powerful internal group will be needed to dislodge the incumbent theocratic dictators and the IRGC.

I remember a Speech of Konrad Adenauer, The former chancellor of Germany. He said, we should be carefully of English dogs and her „Jewish financial power“ in London. @Spitfire9 knows what I am talking about. That’s why the English Men will always be pro Jewish.

About Pakistan, of course they are the next target. The problem right now is, they are backed by China and Türkiye.
