“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.

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.

So whats the US strategy here? Because they have 0 strategy as far as I see, completely headless.

All they are doing is destroying the world economy, prices of oil shooting into the sky, with them all other things will go up, inflation will rise etc...

I mean if they actually had a plan to remove this Iranian regime fine, but they have absolutely 0 plan, they are just bombing Iran and probably won't bomb for much more since Trump said the "mission" is close to being over.

Iranian regime still going strong with the new leader (son)... sure the balistic missile threat will be very much lesser but Iran will just build more drones and missiles and be in the same spot as they were before... not like I expected much from Trump anyway.. what a dumbass.

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.


so you think Israel managed to sneak in drones and ballistic missile inside Iran to launch them against Cyprus, Turkey and Azerbaijan as a false flag operation?

more like Iranian government has no control or knowledge what IRGC is doing

The possibility would be that infiltrated elements within the IRGC would have sent those out. I'd agree with your point though somewhat:

yeah im not too sure about the false flag claim myself, i dont think they know what happened. Just speaking to what might be the current mutually accepted "version" of the truth for diplomatic purposes.

It was same like siding with Israel.
Why should Iran provoke NATO Art. 5?
If so, why would Iran end up firing a ballistic missile for second time, from the exact same airbase they have fired the earlier one, and both of these missiles 'accidentally' aiming at the same spot?

They are just flexing TR's patience at this point and bragging about how TR doesn't fire back.

They can't dare to fire a salvo and openly declare war with TR, they can't dare to trigger NATO article 5. All they do is being a loser, firing a missile and bragging about it.

False Flag?
Several scenarios are possible:

1. False flag. That is, some third party is launching missiles toward Turkey to draw it into a war with Iran. There could be many interested parties—the United States, Israel, and even Russia. But here's the problem: where did this third party get an Iranian missile? After all, it is an Iranian missile.

Therefore, this theory can be ruled out.

2. Unified command has been lost in Iran, and low-level commanders have seized the initiative "on the ground."

3. The missiles were fired by forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), targeting Incirlik.

The latter theory seems more plausible.

Erdogan made a statement to Tehran on this matter yesterday. It can be assumed that he has full information.
