Live Conflict Israel-US vs Iran War (2026)

[500]

Trump has gone completely off the rails insulting everyone that doesn't cater to him or agree with him with profound insults.

This guy is singlehandedly going to completely ruin the US relations with every single nation apart from Israel for decades to come lol.

U are focused on Western Europe which rapidly loses any importance. The mighty French army was pushed out of Africa by bunch of drunk Wagner mercenaries.

My honest assessment is that this operation was really rushed. Militarily, the buildup was good. Bombing campaign was tactically successful (except for the kids school). It seems the administration 'glitched' into ignoring the Iranian capability to close the strait, and this is the root of the diplomatic problems. The diplomacy side of things was greatly neglected. There was no coalition building. No international law justification. In EU4 terms, Trump No CB declared on Iran.

Anyone who depends on energy from Hormuz is told to eat shit.

• Europeans are pretty passive and lethargic but they are just humiliated by US leadership and I think this will have consequences in the future. Italians just got into a row with Israelis.
• East Asians are panicking like crazy because they actually use the energy to build stuff, that's how their economy works. South Korean officials have been feuding with Israelis on twitter. I imagine Japanese decision makers are chainsmoking as their fuel storage strategy can only carry them for a few months more.
• Gulf arabs are at the mercy of Iranians because if they decide to blow up the wells, there is nothing to realistically stop them from doing so. US prioritized air defence munitions away from them and to Israelis (lol).
• Chinese are doing some shady stuff like sending a spy ship to the area and landing a cargo plane in Tehran. idk what happens with those but I think Iranian strikes have increased in efficiency compared to 12 day war.

Diplomatically, this war is a disaster for the US.

The point of no return is the global oil supply. If the oil wells are rendered inoperable for an extended period of time (think a few years), then the global economy has to adjust and this will send shock after shock to the US centric global finance infrastructure. My guess is it will cause a global depression.

So, why did US attack in this specific time? My guess is it's something to do with Bibi's political position, as well as Israel losing its grasp on the US public support. They decided to just go with it because they wouldn't be able to again.

I'm curious if they can turn the public opinion around. It seems impossible now. If the economy goes the way it goes, it will get a lot worse. Remember, Israeli state's survival is not determined in the ruins of Gaza or skies above Iran. It is determined at the American ballot.

Whats the mood like In Israel though, how do they feel about US and Iran having ceasefire talks, or even peace?
Not going to lie, I kind of expected Israel and US to hit harder than they actually did.
So far it seems like a win for Iran. Even the markets are not bothered much by the war.

I've seen a Twitter comment that basically went something like "in 100 years, Israel will either be Greater Israel or it will not exist at all".

Regardless of what one may think of Israeli justifications, they have absolutely f***ed their reputation on the global stage. I've never seen this many people in the US openly s***ting on them and almost everybody in the Middle East is either extremely wary of them or outright hates them. They can't really walk this back anymore, not that any of their political leaders seem interested in doing so.

Despite Beijing’s rising anger over the war in Iran, a country upon which it relies heavily for oil, U.S. President Donald Trump insisted his relationship with his Chinese counterpart remains strong. However, in a post on his social media network, Trump also dismissed Chinese concerns that its energy situation is becoming more precarious as the result of strangulation of the Strait of Hormuz and U.S. blockade of Iranian ports.

All this comes as Trump has been telling media outlets that he believes the war could soon end. We’ll talk more about that later in this story.

“China is very happy that I am permanently opening the Strait of Hormuz,” the American leader proclaimed on Truth Social, even as the flow of oil from the Middle East has been drastically reduced by the war. “I am doing it for them, also – And the World. This situation will never happen again. They have agreed not to send weapons to Iran.”

“President Xi will give me a big, fat, hug when I get there in a few weeks,” he added. “We are working together smartly, and very well! Doesn’t that beat fighting??? BUT REMEMBER, we are very good at fighting, if we have to – far better than anyone else!!!”

Trump Downplays Chinese Concerns Over Iran War's Impact On Its Oil Supplies (Updated)

The friction between the U.S. and China over disruption in energy shipments the war with Iran has caused remains a major issue.

Newest bullshit, before the lockdown issue is completely resolved, he cannot visit China.
We were ready to watch how Trump and his slaves drove the vehicle off the cliff.

I have some friends in S.Korea and Japan, they tell that is a historical time for the people of those two country, they now think the communist neighbor is more rational than their US ally.

That's not my opinion but undisputed fact. Houthis are just an illegal armed gang which first seized power in North of Yemen by force and then tried to take over South Yemen too (they were pushed back). They are no different from ISIS in that matter.

These along with Taliban and whatever other acronym we choose are just labels used to describe a set of people that don't buy into the narrative of democracy. I don't agree with them, and I don't buy into their idealogy, but like the US military, not agreeing with a group is not a reason to not understand how the adversary things. That is what US military is good at.

And its not just US adversaries that subscribe to the principle of using unhinged ways to get to power. Many of US allies do the same thing. Egypt's Sissi and Pakistan's Sharif all stole their elections but are closely aligned with us.

So Houthis are no more illegal than these countries or the monarchies in GCC.


Might is right: taliban are in power, houthis in power, and in the US on Jan 6th, they tried to approximate the same scenario. Those are all facts. How they got there or if they had polls and parliament matters to us, but does not matter to them or the population that supports them.

Saudis, UAE for 3 years bombed Houthis using our advanced tech to finally capitulate and agree to recognize them. If Saudi's can recognize them, then we can accept them as defacto power.

Looks like it wasn't Russians providing targeting information. Iran had procured a satellite to do so.

Today the Italians dropped them. Spain did so last year. Israel messed up the long game. US support for Israel declining.

The push to expand solar is also exposing South Korea’s reliance on Chinese supply chains. China accounts for most solar panels installed in the country, reflecting its dominance in global manufacturing and significantly lower costs.

How South Korea plans to use the Iran crisis to spur a renewables revolution

Energy crisis unfolding in Middle East has added political urgency, and more funding, to transform South Korea’s solar industry

www.theguardian.com

That is a joke, so in such views, the US's reckless military actions not expose Japan and South Korea's dependence on oil. Howevr, China's photovoltaic(PV) exports “revealed South Korea's reliance on China's photovoltaic supply chain”.

Could China blockade the sun?

Turkey to race ahead of EU on battery storage amid fossil fuel crisis​

More than 33GW of battery capacity approved for Turkish grid since 2022 compared with 12-13GW in Germany

Turkey has given the green light to more batteries to buffer its electricity grid than any EU member state, a report has found, in a further sign of rich countries losing steam in the race to a clean economy.

More than 33GW of battery capacity have been approved in Turkey since 2022, according to the climate thinktank Ember, while the total planned and operational capacity in European frontrunners that started deploying them earlier, such as Germany and Italy, is 12-13GW.

The coal-hungry economy straddling Europe and Asia is among several developing countries witnessing a rapid boom in clean technology as prices fall and fossil fuels face further crises.

The findings come as diplomats prepare to descend on the Mediterranean resort city of Antalya in November, when Turkey hosts the Cop31 climate summit.

Ufuk Alparslan, an analyst at Ember and author of the report, said policy choices in Turkey had created a “massive investment signal” in battery storage that outstripped its European peers. “If delivered, Turkey’s battery pipeline will be the backbone of a new, clean regional energy hub.”

Turkey’s large number of projects is the result of a 2022 mandate that gives preferential grid access to renewables that are paired with an equal amount of storage. Of 221GW of battery storage in submitted applications, Turkey has approved 33GW, equivalent to 83% of its current wind and solar capacity, according to the report. Romania is the only EU country with a greater ratio. The Turkish projects mostly use one-hour batteries, providing 37GWh.

Greg Nemet, an energy researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who was not involved in the report, said the “dramatic” growth of solar and batteries in some countries, especially in the global south, had come as the cost of both had fallen by nearly 90% in the last decade.

“Cheap solar and batteries create a tremendous opportunity for creating a cheap, clean and reliable energy system,” he said. “Countries like Turkey are taking advantage of that.”

Turkey generates about a fifth of its power from wind and solar – well above any country in the Middle East or central Asia but below the European average – while continuing to back coal, which benefits from extensive subsidies and generated 34% of its electricity last year.

Turkey is doing the right things, there isnot anythings more important than energy safety for an industry country.

Which ally did US lose so far? I don't see any. All Arab countries are interested in weakening Iran, they just afraid to say that openly.

Canada's closest neighbor. A NATO ally. The United States' closest neighbor, not just geographically.

But listen to how the Prime Minister of this country tells the global hegemon to go to hell.
----------------------------------------
The Canadian Prime Minister's remarks about ending war tribute payments to the United States drew thunderous applause.

The Canadian Prime Minister spoke of the "war tribute" that Canada had been forced to pay to the United States for years.

According to Mark Carney, "For a long time, our military sent 70 cents of every dollar to the United States":

"That time is over."

Remarkably, this statement, made at the Canadian Liberal Party convention, drew thunderous applause. The point is that Canada purchased approximately 70 percent of its military products, including weapons, equipment, and dual-use goods, from the United States, effectively subsidizing American companies. This financial agreement, which the Canadian Liberals have effectively called a "tribute," is tied to Canada's membership, along with the United States, in NORAD, the Five Eyes alliance, and other "common security" structures.

Now Mark Carney is calling for a reorientation of Canadian industry, including defense, toward domestic procurement and investment in Canadian developments.

The Canadian Prime Minister also called for import substitution efforts:

"Where it does not conflict with our interests, we will work with suppliers from Europe, South Korea, Japan, and other countries."

Overall, Mark Carney's statements sound like a continuation of his confrontational policy toward Donald Trump, who has previously famously stated that he views Canada as the 51st state of the United States.

If you believe the Five Eyes alliance is less important to the United States than the US-Israeli alliance, you're in for a big disappointment. Not to mention NATO.
The US is losing its allies at an unprecedented rate—that's obvious.

 

[Corvus]

We're witnessing the end of a superpower before our very eyes. They will still be strong no doubt, but that aura they had decades back is gone almost completely.

Also not sure if Trump came to stop the rot or have US destroyed from within.

Not to brag, but this is exactly why I supported Trump in the last elections.

U are focused on Western Europe which rapidly loses any importance. The mighty French army was pushed out of Africa by bunch of drunk Wagner mercenaries.

How do you guys plan to survive when there is no longer unlimited American obedience?

❝A loss for Turkey is out of the question.❞

■ An analytical article published on the Israeli television channel Channel 14, authored by Omri Haim and Dror Balzada, assessed potential tensions between Turkey and Israel based on Turkey's growing influence and military capabilities in the Middle East.

■ The analysts stated that the likelihood of a direct conflict between the two countries in the near future is low under current conditions, adding: "A direct war with Turkey is not expected."

■ The analysis emphasized Turkey's growing influence, particularly in Syria and Gaza, noting that Ankara has strengthened its influence on the ground through ties with local players. Emphasizing Turkey's strategic position and military capabilities, the article stated: "In such a situation, defeat for Turkey is out of the question."

Yeah, I know what you mean, but remember, USA kind of benefits us too. Just not too sure if the benefits outweigh the negatives
Going to be interesting next few years no doubts.

Before 1967 US was rather anti-Israel than pro-Israel.

As I said Houthis first illegally captured North Yemen then they tried to capture South too but were kicked thanks to UAE and Saudi intervention.

Iranian support to Houthis led to bloody war, hundreds of thousands dead, starvation, terrible misery.

Same what happens to any other place they intervene - Syria, Iraq, Lebanon... Its pretty amazing that u support crazy regime which destroyed ur country turning it from Paris of Middle East to terrorist failed state.

Good to read that an Israel apologist disapproves of starvation, albeit when it occurs in Yemen.
