Live Conflict Israel-US vs Iran War (2026)

[Pokemonte13]

One positive side of this war is threat of ballistic missiles has gone down. If iran goes down in civil war or a new pro western government comes to power than their ballistic missile program is history. Only the israelis have air launched ballistic missile but they are a bit easier to combat

Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al Thani has described Iran's strikes on Gulf countries as a "dangerous miscalculation"

"It is a big sense of betrayal," he told me. "Just an hour after the start of the war, Qatar and other Gulf countries have been attacked. We made clear that we were not going to take part in any wars against our neighbours."

Iran's miscalculation has 'destroyed everything', Qatar's PM says

In an exclusive interview, Qatar's prime minister delivered a blunt message from the Gulf to Iran: the attacks must stop.

Having disaffected the Gulf countries by attacking them + Cyprus + Iraq(?), and having just elected a hardline Supreme Leader to carry on previous policies, has Iran condemned itself to being bombed back into the stone age as fast as the US and Israel can do so?

If iran goes down in civil war or a new pro western government

That cant happen as long as the IRGC(2 million strong) is not eliminated/desolved/destroyed.
So,forget that from ever happening.

my guess is they know that their regime will end so they want to create as much chaos as possible. ( A drowning man will pull you down with him)

 

[Angry Turk !!!]

About an hour ago an Iranian representative on a daily press conference(Al-Jazeera) stated that Türkiye Northern-Cyprus and Azerbaijan have not been targeted by Iranian missiles.
So,what does this say about these incidents?

5th columns within iran that have access to BMs maybe? Could be.

If that's true, then I don't think people understand the possible implications of this. If there are rogue elements in Iran that have their hands on BMs, we can't just sit still, in that case we have to invade or at least set up CAP and ISR over northern Iran where there are still many SAMs to locate the launch sites and TELs.

Any chance of Turkish Air strikes on Iran in response to these ballistic missile attacks?

 

[IC3M@N FX]

I have a question: how likely is a false flag attack from Iranian territory?
Iran could indeed attack Turkey deliberately, but I cannot understand why a country that is currently being bombed would want to bring a third, very powerful party into play in order to finally bomb it back to the Stone Age. From Iran's point of view, this makes no sense whatsoever, regardless of the US bases in Turkey.

For the US/Israel, it would be a godsend if Turkey also bombed Iran, preferably with Turkish ammunition. What is used up cannot be reproduced so quickly. I am afraid that, whether it is a false flag or not, if this happens again and again, Turkey will have to react to save face, otherwise it will lose credibility in its defence.

Maybe i am wrong, but if there is evidence of Iran shot missile to turkey, but Iran still say there isnot, the one who lose credibility in its defence should be Iran.

Turkey has AN/TPY-2 radars at Kurecik Radar Station. Are these operated by the Turkish Army or the US? If the latter, does Turkey have any say on if these are used to protect Israel, given that it is a non-NATO country?

Refer to page 108.

No. All air defence systems and early warning radars in Turkey(except the nonoperational S400 battery in Mürted) operate under the BHHM/CAOC Torrejon which answers to Ramstein at the moment. There's a subunit in Eskişehir at 1st AJÜ and all information goes through there, allowing Turkey full access. Entirety of Turkey's air defense picture along with batteries and the squadrons tasked with defending the airspace is under NATO. In a world where a BM takes at most 10 minutes from launch to impact, there's simply no time to discuss plans of action or ask for permission from respective governments. NATO(in this case the Joint NATO Air Defence Command based in Torrejon of which Turkish servicemen is also a part of per rotation) just defends directly as it sees fit by monitoring and tasking the most fit and closest units. This could be an American Burke, the Spanish Patriot in İncirlik, or the future Siper B3 in Diyarbakır. It's the same Torrejon CAOC that tasks Turkish F-16s to intercept drones coming from Black Sea, or tasking Turkish F-16s deployed to Romania to intercept drones coming from the east. All the E-3 flights that take off from Konya for months and watch south or east are also tasked under the same CAOC.

NATO of course gives information to Israel, it's an ally of NATO. But TPY-2 in Kürecik hardly helps Israel, that's another matter. Radar was placed there to keep track of Russian and Iranian BMs launched at European NATO. Regardless same air picture is used by the American destroyers off the coast of Israel intercepting BMs right this second, same as the American destroyer that intercepted the BM over Turkey today. This is NATO working as intended, giving Americans full view of things while also helping our own defense. Rest is politics.

I don't think there will be any military response from Turkey.
Even after the second missile was shot down, I still believe Iran wouldn't attack any targets on Turkish territory in such a critical situation. Yes, they're fanatics, but they're not idiots. Only complete idiots would attack Turkey.
Note: The Iranians have admitted to attacks on Arab countries. But they don't admit to this regarding Turkey, Azerbaijan, Southern Cyprus. Incidentally, after several strikes, the British still claim Iran had nothing to do with the attacks on their bases (!)
It's difficult to determine who launched the drones that attacked our territory and from where. But it's safe to say they came from Iran.
Determining the launch site of ballistic missiles is not difficult. Knowing two points—the launch site, the impact point after the missile was shot down, the altitude at the time of the shootdown, and the missile's technical characteristics—we can fairly accurately calculate where it was launched and where it was aimed. The type of warhead the missile carried also matters. I think the Turkish military likely knows where it was launched from and where it was aimed.

We simply don't have enough information.

 

[Huelague]

Something that surprises me: I have read no reports of illegal Israeli settlements on the west bank being targeted. Is there a reason?

No strategic targets.

 

[Spitfire9]

Turkey, the UAE and Qatar all say they have intercepted Iranian missiles...

No details given. Another mistake from Iran in a missile going off course towards Turkiye?

It was same like siding with Israel.
Why should Iran provoke NATO Art. 5?

 

[Spitfire9]

“Iran’s targets are not just US bases; they are, in fact, primarily large-scale infrastructure and civilian targets as well,” said Rob Geist Pinfold, a lecturer in defence studies at King’s College London.

“This is not a mistake. This is by design,” Pinfold told Al Jazeera, explaining that Tehran is seeking to “unleash as much chaos as possible to destabilise the region and global markets” in an effort to force Washington to abandon the war.

Turkiye says Iranian ballistic missile intercepted by NATO air defences

Ministry of National Defence says no casualties or damage after missile shot down over southern city of Gaziantep.

It is most unfortunate that Trump is so conceited. Were he to decide to stop the US attacks I doubt he would be able to resist boasting that the US had completely defeated Iran, possibly pushing Iran to continue its strikes when it might have otherwise stopped.

Iran is not an analogue of Donald Trump, this is not a reasonable expectation.

False Flag?

well the Iranians are claiming so, and the neutral wording in Mr. Fidan's statements hints at him agreeing. Iran is saturated with CIA/Mossad operatives.
