... we shouldn't get dragged down into the war, and just let the Israelis and Americans keep bombing them to oblivion
US intentions seem to swirl around (unconditional surrender required/unconditional surrender not required, regime change required/regime change not required). It appears that there is no real war or post-war plan so the US is taking the simple approach of bombing Iran into oblivion until it comes up with a better idea;

their real objective is to turn Iran into a Syria, they just can't publicly say that, thats why they were heavily focusing on bombing police stations, secret police and etc.,
all to cause unrest, and they are arming up Kurds.

now they are bombing economic infrastructure, to cause public unrest.

In view of the latest drone activity resulting from Iranian attacks to Israel and US military positions and any country that provides help, many European countries had sent AD missile systems, jet fighters and AD frigates to the Southern part of Cyprus. Turkiye in response to that move is sending 4 f16 fighter jets to the north to defend the skies over KKTC.

I think we should use the word "Türkiye" for our country's name. What do you think?

South Korea announced that it will send around 30 ballistic missile interceptors to the UAE via C-17 right tomorrow. It would appear that they brought ROKAF's reserves. Among the 10 batteries under contract, currently, two M-SAM-II batteries are operating in the UAE. The interceptor delivery will continue until the 9th, and it appears that interceptors included in existing contracts will be delivered earlier than scheduled.
Perhaps it would be better to send the M-SAM-I (Block-I) stock alongside the M-SAM-II.
The photo shows a training scene of the ROK Air Force.
And yeah, Korea built the huge nuclear power plant in the UAE, so let us hope it's safe, too. It produces about 25% of the UAE's total electricity, making it a top priority for protection, along with cities and oil refineries.

Iran's fourth oil refinery was bombed. Iran was already in the midst of an energy crisis. Iran's thermal power plants run on gas. If they, too, are destroyed by bombing, the ayatollahs will be delighted: Iran will finally return to the Middle Ages, something these religious madmen have been striving for for 47 years🙄

US and Israeli air forces have begun striking Iranian oil refineries and storage facilities. Video footage shows strikes on an oil refinery in Tehran. Iranian oil infrastructure in Shahran, Fardis, Karaj, and other locations has also been hit. In retaliation, Iran is striking US bases in the region.

Immediately after the 12-day war, Iran began rebuilding its air defenses. There were numerous reports of Chinese cargo planes arriving in Iran. Apparently, Tehran, after the expected failure of the Russian S-300 and local systems, decided to purchase Chinese HQ9 systems. It seems they, too, can't see not only the F-35, but also the F-15, F-16, and even the B-52 (🙄), which are impossible to miss.
One might assume that the enemy's electronic warfare system simply blinds them.
In any case, they, too, are either disabled or destroyed.
Without air defense, Iran is completely defenseless from the air.
It's interesting that in Ukraine, for four years now, neither side has been able to achieve the astonishing success that the US-Israeli air force achieved in Iran in just a few days.

And we all know how that ends, sooner or later.

I agree but with the caveat that US operations have been predominantly stand-off strikes and in-and-out type bombings AFAIK. I still don't think Iranian air defence would amount to much but there is a chance that we might see a little more pushback.

There's not one single proof that any Chinese GBAD was bought and deployed by Iran. They were all just claims. None of the strike footage so far show any Chinese GBAD.

I would think that Turkiye might be better placed to talk to the US and Iran than nearly all other countries. Might Turkiye be able to start talks with the warring factions to try to stop the current madness? I imagine also that with a long border with Iran, it is in Turkiye's interest for hostilities to cease.

Hope China had sold Iran the FK-2000(HQ-9BE), but that is not happen. Azerbaijan got this system.
