Without nukes,Russia will be gone now invaded by Nato and Putin will be hang on street

And why would anyone invade Russia at all? A white Christian country with 145 million people and all the resources, land and water you can imagine could have now been a EU and NATO member instead and the Russians would probably have a standard of living that is closer to that of Central and Western Europe instead of Central Asia. The EU and NATO would be pleased to have such a country as it's member even if they are a nuclear power but instead the Russians prefer to invade foreign lands and to kill and destroy their "brothers" and talk about nuclear strikes on Berlin, Warsaw and London etc...

And again- read about the USSR- it collapsed without the West firing even a bullet at them. The West now is braking the teeth of the Bear without even a single NATO soldier on Russian soil.

Yet,we havent seen one hit from these fantastic weapons.
And why would they show this all of a sudden,why choose CNN to show?
This whole back and forth by Israel and Iran is fishy,nothing makes sense.
I call it all bs.

do you remember how it was CNN who gave Erdogan his speech on TV during the coup. The american owned media entity was on hand to give erdogan a life line.

Different situation,not comparable.

you not find it interesting how CNN seems to support the islamist side? while say fox news supports the zionist side? Basically the leftist side gets support from CNN, while the right wing gets support from fox. But both are western/american owned media entities. Are we just witnessing the Hegelian dialectic in play? Because what we see with Iran/Isreal looks like no more then theatre.

We know isreal was created and maintained by the anglo american world. We also know the current ruling regime of Iran was put into power by America and the UK with France.

What is the outcome of the games taking place in the region? The Muslims sunnis are divided and destablised collectively.

This is Iran,no side supports Iran and Iran normally doesnt allow any American news outlets to do such a report/interview.

Its not about "support" in a traditional sense, its about a game being played on the collective middle east. When we look at Isreal/Iran conflict, what is the actual outcome for the region? It basically further destabilises and undermines it. While Europeans are working to create a European union, eventually creating a unified army. The Muslim "Sunni" core is being relentlessly divided and undermined. And don't think of it in a religious sense, think of it as a political entity when i say "Muslim sunni core".

The Isreal/Iran conflict is creating two conditions in the region. 1 is about Israelis expanding their territory while also expanding their scope of operations in neighbouring nations. The fear certain arab countries have of Iran allows Isreal to enter their lands like a trojan horse. The second point is that Iran is basically spreading sectarianism/terrorism across the entire Sunni middle east. The more she spreads it, the less chance the sunnis can develop or organise among themselves in any serious capacity.

Meanwhile we look at this "war" between Isreal/Iran in the space of 40 years they have directly done next to no damage to each other, next to nothing. Turks sustained more loses over their incursion into Afrin, then the Isrealis or Iranians have experienced from being at war with each other over 40 years.

Let me add something else, Turkey was the centre of the Islamic world not so long ago. The westerners including Russia have done everything to make sure our former Christian subjects hate us. Today they are doing everything to make the Kurds hate Turks as another destabilising factor. In the arab middle east, the Muslims can still be brought under Turkish guidance and unity, its much harder to demonise the last caliphate among them, so what they do they do? They make sure the lands stay on fire.

There are vidoes from multiple angles confirming at least 5x BM hit on Nevatim air base. One of them managed to damage a C-130 as it was confirmed by US and Israel later.

Come on man,how is this proof?
The base doesnt have cameras,why we only see it from a distance and how do you know those are missiles?
Why are they so slow?
If uav's,why the flares?
Its just set up this way for us to think its a real attack?
Go on youtube and see how a missile impacts a target.

I have decided to update my assessment of the matter in light of new information that has emerged.

First of all, it is necessary to look at the profile of the ballistic missiles used by Iran. It seems that the missile that hit Israel's Nevatim air base turned out to be a Ghadr BF missile.


GLTc5xpXQAAY9sO

GLTc55xWAAAWK_W


The warheads used in the missile are designed to disperse in the air in a cone to make it difficult to be hit by missile defense systems.


As you can see, the only warheads from the 50 kg artillery rocket actually hit the target like this. Therefore, the number of ballistic missiles that hit Israel was probably 1-2, not 9-10.

The most distinguishable feature of the Ghadr compared to the older Shahab-3 is its conic nosecone with a ‘baby bottle’ cylindrical shape. This adjustment likely reduced the volume of the payload the missile could carry by about 20 percent and the Ghadr likely carries a 750 kg warhead compared to the 1,000 kg warhead designed for the Shahab-3. This denser warhead also increases the speed of its reentry vehicle, making missile defense intercepts more difficult.

A December 2008 report estimated a CEP of 300 m for the Ghadr-1, which has been echoed by more recent analysis
. More recent reports suggest Iran achieved this accuracy by equipping the Ghadr with a strap-down guidance package. If reports regarding the Ghadr-1 accuracy are correct, then it would be a significant improvement of the Shahab-3 (2,500 m CEP). Reports also indicate the possibility that Ghadr could be designed to carry a nuclear payload. This possibility is raised with uncertainty as the Ghadr appears to be comparable to the Shahab system, whose apparent goal is to obtain such a payload.

Here, CSIS defines the Ghadr ballistic missile as a missile with a 750 kg warhead, a range of 300 m, and most importantly, the potential to carry a nuclear warhead. Work on the missile started 16 years ago.

Now let's talk about the dilemma of Israel and its allies here. Iran attempted to fire around 120 missiles that night. However, Israel and its allies were able to intervene in half of this. In other words, a single Ghadr missile escaped from around 60-65 missiles and aimed those mini warheads at the target.

GLVe46aXoAAFqoA


The US and its allies should have destroyed the Ghadr missile in the launch or intermediate phase before it reached the terminal phase. Once the missile enters the terminal phase, it begins to "scatter" its warheads while diving.

For missile defense, the US used warships with this capability off the coast of Israel and Yemen, and missile defense systems stationed in Erbil and the Gulf countries. (Of course, we are making general assumptions here. However, in Saudi Arabia, they probably only used radars, etc. Otherwise, it does not appear that there was an active intervention.)

However, there are a few fine details here. First of all, this entire missile defense ecosystem (missile defense batteries and early warning radars and sensors stationed in Qatar-Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries) was used in "peacetime".

Fighterjet taking off from Gulf countries, Iraq and US aircraft carriers also took off in "peacetime". This is where the importance of war diplomacy and the involvement of countries in war comes into play.

The propaganda of Israel and its allies is that Arab countries are fully mobilized to defend them. However, such a thing is not the case.


Jordan had not opened its airspace to anyone. And fihterjets were patrolling the air not only for Iranian kamikaze but also for Israeli fighterjets.


Likewise, the United Arab Emirates did not cooperate with the USA and its allies against Iran's attack. There is no confirmed news that even the Saudis are cooperating with the coalition countries.

Therefore, if a state of war really occurs, Iran will ask its neighbors who have US military bases in their country to pacify the US military presence if they do not want to be a party to the war.

This also means that the data flow from the Kürecik Radar base to the USA should be actively cut off, and the radars in the Gulf countries should not lock Iran's air and missile assets.

Likewise, US fighterjets cannot take off from these countries, otherwise these countries will become parties to the war. It seems unlikely that Iran will go to war with the Gulf countries as long as they do not pose a threat to its existence.

As soon as the sensor-radar and missile defense batteries (Thaad-Patriot missile defense systems, etc.) that are a part of the missile defense systems in all countries in the region are pacified, the USA and its allies will be like birds with broken wings.

Even if they don't turn into birds, the US missile defense system assets that are so close to Iran are within artillery range in Erbil, for example. To protect all these systems, you need to assign a special Iron Dome to each of them.

Even if you achieve such a thing, all these beings will still be the subject of a small war of their own and will face a dilemma of whether to protect Israel or themselves.

I think it is now known to everyone that Israel and its allies, who cannot prevent a potential nuclear attack with ballistic missiles even in peace, will not even come close to being successful in war.

If we look at the different potential consequences of the issue based on a single event, if the Nevatim airbase that was hit was actually hit by a ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead; (Unless Israel had a different air base-fleet structure that could carry out a nuclear attack, unlike F-35 warplanes) the air force leg of the nuclear trilogy would be history.

Come on man, we answered all of these questions. I think you stopped reading this forum.

Israel decided to completely remove the US-made Patriot Air and Missile Defense Systems from its inventory due to its failure to stop Iranian ballistic missiles hitting Nevatim Air Base.

Even Israel has admitted that its missile defense system has failed.

U.S. privately warned Iran over suspicious nuclear activities​



The Biden administration sent a private warning to Iran last month expressing serious concerns about Iranian research and development activities that could be used for the production of a nuclear weapon, three U.S. and Israeli officials told Axios.
Why it matters: The U.S. and Israel have both detected suspicious nuclear activities by Iranian scientists in recent months. Officials fear they could be part of a covert Iranian effort to use the period around the U.S. presidential election to make progress toward nuclear weaponization.

  • The U.S. and Israeli intelligence communities, as well as senior policy officials from both countries, worked to understand the Iranian activities and whether they constituted a change in policy by Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
  • Separately, the Secret Service ramped up security around former President Trump in recent weeks after the U.S. obtained intelligence about an Iranian assassination plot unrelated to Saturday's shooting, CNN first reported.
Behind the scenes: U.S. officials said the Biden administration conveyed its nuclear concerns to the Iranians several weeks ago, both through a third country and direct channels.

  • The U.S. officials said the Iranians came back with a response that included explanations for these nuclear activities, stressing there has been no change in policy and they are not working on a nuclear weapon.
  • The exchange of messages and other information obtained by the U.S. and Israel addressed some of the concerns and somewhat eased anxieties over the Iranian research and development activities, U.S. and Israeli officials said.
  • A U.S. official said that the message the U.S. sent to the Iranians was effective, but added there are still significant concerns about the Iranian nuclear program.
What they're saying: "We do not see indications that Iran is currently undertaking the key activities that would be necessary to produce a testable nuclear device," a U.S. official told Axios.

  • "We take any nuclear escalation by Iran incredibly seriously. And, as the President has made clear, we are committed to never letting Iran obtain a nuclear weapon—and we are prepared to use all elements of national power to ensure that outcome."
Driving the news: Around March, U.S. and Israeli intelligence services obtained information that showed Iranian scientists were engaging in computer modeling and metallurgical research that could be used for the development of nuclear weapons.

  • The purpose of the computer modeling was unclear.
  • Some U.S. and Israeli officials said the intelligence was a worrying signal about Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions, but other officials on both sides characterized it as a "blip" that doesn't represent a shift in Iran's policy and strategy.
  • Iran has repeatedly denied wanting nuclear weapons.
Zoom in: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's former national security adviser, Yaakov Nagel, who is now a senior fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, claimed several dozen Iranian scientists have been working in recent months on technical processes necessary for the building of an atomic bomb.

  • Nagel, who is still very close to Netanyahu, told Axios in an interview three weeks ago that this activity is taking place "under an academic umbrella" and is "pushing the envelope" of experiments that have civilian uses.
  • Nagel claimed that Israeli and U.S. intelligence agencies believe Khamenei has refrained from explicitly and officially approving the activity in order to leave room for plausible deniability.
  • Netanyahu was extremely concerned about the new information and asked the White House to convene the U.S.-Israel Strategic Consultative Group (SCG) to discuss the state of the Iranian nuclear program.
  • The meeting, which took place in the White House Situation Room on Monday, was the U.S. and Israel's first high-level and in-depth discussion about the Iranian nuclear program since March 2023.
State of play: The U.S. and Israeli intelligence communities were aligned in their assessments about the state of the Iranian nuclear program at the SCG meeting this week, U.S. and Israeli officials said.

  • The officials said both countries' intelligence services do not believe there has been any top-down decision or order by Khamenei to move forward toward the production of a nuclear weapon.
  • A U.S. official said that much of the anxiety about Iran's suspicious activities, which led Israel to request the SCG meeting several weeks ago, has since died down.
  • The parties agreed to strengthen coordination between the U.S. and Israel on the Iranian nuclear program, especially ahead of the U.S. presidential elections.
