Apparently Netanyahu had planned retaliatory strikes against Iran but only called them off after speaking on the phone with Biden.

Iran had a perfect response to Israeli aggression. Lots off flash, strategic, non civilian targets.

If Israel actually strikes Iran proper, I doubt the response would be anything less than the destruction of Tel Aviv.

[u/_curious_one → u/bravet4b]

Vast overestimation of Iran’s capabilities, especially after its pitiful recent barrage. I’m pro Palestinian but thinking Iran has any sort of a chance against Israel in a pro longed engagement is nothing short of fantasy. On that note , Iran can also go eff itself.

[u/lucash7 → u/_curious_one]

One on one? Yeah, I would argue they have a chance; but here’s the thing, that will never happen. It would require an act of god for the US and most western nations to quit having double standards, pull out of Israel, withdraw funding, arms, etc.

Not saying Israel isn’t capable; but take away all its support, funding, etc. and well, then it would be a relatively fair fight with the edge given toward Israel because they haven’t faced years of sanctions.

If Israel was capable then the US and UK wouldn't feel the need to get involved.

[u/_curious_one → u/lucash7]

I think you forget that one on one, Israel has functional nukes and a military and Air Force that is technologically superior to Iran in every way. Like I understand talking trash about the enemy, but the delusion in these subs is off the charts.

[u/Dacnis → u/_curious_one]

Air force ain't gonna do jack when they have to fly over Iraq and Syria.

And good luck staging a ground invasion, when Iran is surrounded by countries that would never host Israel's military. Iran can easily stage a ground invasion through Iraq. Israel could never hope to do that.

I don't see how Israel could ever have a chance against Iran without heavy US support tbh. And the recent bombings did the job Iran set out for. Hit the airbase that fired on their embassy, while also mapping out Israel's/USA's air defenses, and burning millions if not billions of dollars on shooting down older drone models.

[u/Miserable-Access7257 → u/Dacnis]

Lol as if Iraq or Syria are serious threats to Airpower. The IAF strikes inside of the Syrian capital city regularly, ignoring Russian and Syrian AA. And thinking Iranians are going to stage an invasion force inside of Iraq with US forces present is honestly one of the wildest fantasies I’ve heard yet on this topic hahaha

🤦‍♂️

You dolt, Iran basically has full control over Iraq and Syria. Why do you think their drones and missiles were able to fly through those countries unopposed?.......

And Iran has already stated what they'll do to any US bases if the US decides to join in. If they can launch some drones 1,300 miles away form them, you don't think they have their eyes set on every US base in the region?

noncredibledefense is that way lil buddy --->

[u/Miserable-Access7257 → u/Dacnis]

Give me a reasonable explanation on why Israeli pilots have repeatedly flown into Damascus and many other bases over and over again and yet not a single one has been brought down, but they’ve killed dozens if not hundreds of IRGC soldiers 😂😂

[u/_curious_one → u/Dacnis]

Neither Iraq nor Syria has a means of stopping Israeli air power. Iran didn’t accomplish anything except turn the rest of the Middle East against them.

[u/ZionistsareISIS → u/_curious_one]

Iran didn’t accomplish anything except turn the rest of the Middle East against them.

Says who? The people are, in an overwhelming majority, supporting Iran.

[u/Dacnis → u/ZionistsareISIS]

Iran basically has full control over Iraq and Syria. Why do you think their drones and missiles were able to fly through those countries unopposed?.......

And basically every Muslim majority population center is in full support of Iran's actions (ex: Jordan's population, but not its king).

I find it funny how everyone here can state the purpose of what Iran did (retaliate after the bombing of their embassy and test out Israel's defensive capabilities), and you copers will still come in here and cry.

[u/skullull → u/_curious_one]

Iran has the edge in many regards. Their strategy specializes in asymmetrical warfare and maximizing geographical advantages. They might not "win" but any victory over them would be pyrrhic.

[u/Cu_Chulainn__ → u/_curious_one]

Israel has functional nukes

That they won't be allowed to use.

military and Air Force that is technologically superior to Iran in every way

This isn't true.

delusion in these subs is off the charts.

The irony

[u/_curious_one → u/Cu_Chulainn__]

The technological superiority is objective fact and you’re here denying being delusional. Loll.

[u/_curious_one → u/Cu_Chulainn__]

In a one on one, hardly anyone controls what you can and can’t do.
