Live Conflict Israel-US vs Iran War (2026)

[Anastasius]

Iran is facing 700 aircraft, a navy, and satellite reconnaissance. Despite this, it's still holding up quite well.

Putin couldn't have asked for Bayraktiar drones because they were all shot down at the very beginning of the war in Ukraine. After that, Ukraine stopped using them, as was reported. You've twisted the facts. Most of the Turkish Bayraktar TB2 attack drones, which Ukraine relied on as a "weapon of victory," were shot down by the Russian military a year after the fighting began. This was reported by Business Insider.

Except we have footage of Ukraine using them far beyond "the very beginning of the war in Ukraine".

Nope, just one part of the system that stopped the Russian advances on its track. They are only one of the reasons why Russians are stuck in the east 4 years later.

In fact, looking back, not a single weapon that Ukraine counted on enabled it to win. It's not the weapons that win, it's the people who win. The Vietnam War confirmed this

"Trump: Iran Could Be Destroyed Tomorrow

Shortly after state media reported that Iran had rejected a ceasefire offer, US President Donald Trump issued a new, stark warning.

"They (the Iranians) just don't want to say, 'I surrender,'" Trump declared. "They don't want to admit defeat, as they say, but they will. And if they don't, they'll have no bridges, no power plants, nothing left," the American leader said.

He added an even more dire warning: "I won't say any more because there are worse things to come."

"The entire country (Iran) could be destroyed overnight. And that night could be tomorrow," Trump emphasized.

Iran's air defense forces released new footage of the downing of two American MQ-9 Reaper reconnaissance UAVs near Isfahan. As of April 3, Iran's air defense forces have shot down 17 MQ-9 Reaper UAVs. Experts estimate the cost of each MQ-9 Reaper UAV at approximately $30 million.

But how? Trump claims since 4 weeks ago that Iran's navy, airforce, anti air etc... is completely destroyed and non existant.

Are you saying that people without weapons can win a war

Wher are these 17 MQ-9 scraps?

no one takes him seriously anymore

Trump is not a kind of person to mess with. He literally started (and will likely finish) the collapse of Iran - the most powerful and influential state of middle east.

 

[MS Sandhu]

That not it,the French and British could do it in current Iran where there is almost no Air defence specially in that area/part of the country.

Combine the resources of whole NATO (except US) and they will not be able to do any kind of SEAD in a country like that of Iran let alone conducting a rescue mission after that.
They simply don't have enough assets and logistics scale.
Remember last time when Houthis choked bab al mandeb, what did French and British accomplish there?
Literally nothing.
America was the one who not only degraded Houthis capabilities to the extent that they are no more relevant but also forced them to back off.

TB2 and other MALE/HALE drones can't survive alone against half a decent working SAM network.
MQ9s are such a great success because those nasty F35s and B2 Bombers with hundreds of strike munitions cripple the adversary's SAM networks to negligible scale before their entry.
Iran's almost dead SAMs are still able to down multiple MQ9s daily.
Other than US, no country can sustain these losses.

The main purpose of air defence is to protect its military and infrastructure. Iranians 100% failed here.

Secondary function is to inflict heavy casualties to enemy air force. Again 100% fail for Iran.

UAVs are expendable. The only problem for US and Israel that even 1 pilot captured will be a major victory for ayatulas.

I don't think the Europeans support Trump in his Iran attack. It may be very destructive but it is not leading towards any useful end result.

The competence required to direct a country's civil and military foreign affairs is absent in Trump. I would say partly for psychological reasons - narcissism, meglamania and more. I think that he should be stood down using Article 25 of the US constitution. America needs a Casca and a Brutus to start the process of ending the emperor's reign. There may be a Casca or two or several around but is there a Brutus of the ilk of John McLain?

Trump and Hegseth are absolute trash politically but Trump can actually get the things in work unlike sleepy Joe

No one was willing to touch Iran and risk the political suicide at home but Trump did.That Guy got some steel balls.

Iran raises suspicion of ‘uranium theft’ plot after clashes with US forces​

Recent US military operations inside Iran may have been meant as cover to seize the country’s enriched uranium, a spokesman said following a series of clashes linked to attempts to rescue downed American personnel, Anadolu reports.

There were “many ambiguities” surrounding the operations, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei told a Monday press conference, adding that the location where a US pilot was reportedly present in southwestern Iran was far from the area where US forces tried to deploy or conduct operations, reportedly in Isfahan, central Iran.

“This raises the possibility that the operation may have been a deceptive plan to steal enriched uranium, which cannot be ignored,” he said, comparing the operation to a failed 1980 US mission to rescue over 50 Americans taken hostage in the 1979 revolution.

Enriched uranium has long been a key issue between Iran and the US, with Washington suspicious that Tehran is trying to enrich uranium to build a nuclear bomb, a charge Iran denies.

On April 2, Iran said it had downed a US fighter jet in the Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province. US officials later confirmed that an F-15E had gone down in the area, with one crew member rescued but another initially remained unaccounted for.

Iranian media reported that US forces deployed helicopters into the region to recover the second crew member, but at least two helicopters were targeted by Iranian forces during the operation.

Clashes later expanded to Isfahan province, where US teams attempting a rescue were also targeted, according to Iranian media.

Earlier reports by Iranian outlets, including the Defa Press Agency, said Iranian units destroyed multiple US assets, including an HC-130 special operations aircraft, Black Hawk helicopters and several drones, and that fighting continued on the ground between Iranian forces and US personnel.

US media, including Fox News, reported that several American service members were injured in the operation.

The United States Central Command (CENTCOM), however, said Sunday that American forces successfully recovered both service members from inside Iran during separate search and rescue missions.

US President Donald Trump also said the aircraft was brought down by a shoulder-fired missile in what he called a “lucky” strike, adding that the rescue of one crew member was initially delayed due to concerns the pilot’s radio transmission could have been an Iranian trap. He said around 200 Special Forces personnel were involved in the mission.

There are more evidence now, which show the operation is not only a “rescue missions”, but a bigger mission for other goal.
It is an answer to explain why there were more than one hundred of US soldier, they cannot be here for just a rescue missions.

Forget about the Iranian navy. It no longer exists. Although even when it did, it raised many questions.

Perhaps some small speedboats remain, capable only of operating in coastal zones.

Their air defense systems are, one might say, ineffective in combat. Even if they manage to retain some of their air defense systems (by not activating them all, or due to their remote location), that doesn't mean they can destroy even an old B-52. The B-52 has such a high radar signature that any radar can detect it at very long distances. And yet, they brazenly appear in the center of a vast country, directly over strategic targets, and calmly drop 15-ton bombs on them.

Obviously, the enemy uses powerful electronic warfare systems that blind and deafen all electronic systems, at least along the entire flight path of their aircraft. Therefore, the radar signature of a huge bomber is of no importance there.

The downing of several drones may only indicate that the enemy is willing to sacrifice them for more valuable intelligence.

Yes, it's safe to assume they no longer have air defenses.

Figuratively speaking, if your cat doesn't catch mice, then you simply don't have a cat.

Iranian Air Defenses and Air Force was already mostly destroyed during 12 day war by Israel, which was honestly one of the most impressive aerial campaigns in history, Israel managed to establish aerial supremacy over Iran in 10 days, with no losses, only a handful of drones were lost.

Thats why Israel and US managed to fly in all the way to Tehran within the first day of the operation, and take out the high command.

a little over 6 months is not enough time to rebuild all the losses Iran suffered in the 12 day war.

BBC just edited the passage from their anonymous "Iranian source" and removed the begging for being left without electricity, water and being nuked to death. So they admitted to fabricating the quote without any formal correction.
