  • JDAMs are plane launched "dumb bombs" with extra guidance and fin system added on to be more precise. Iran doesn't have much defensive systems against the planes, and the bombs themselves are generally not intercepted. Iran does produce more offensive missiles than US combined offensive and defensive missiles, in addition to intensive drone manufacturing by Iran.

    Just as there was a 20:1 kill ratio in favour of US in Vietnam as a US metric for how awesome everything was going for the US, generaly, every hit on US allies and Israel counts as a cost that was never supposed to happen. Contrary to Pentagon propaganda about fewer Iran missile launches every day, damaging strikes seem to be steady or increasing.

  • semiconductors is most critical industry. US is an equal producer to Qatar (33% of supply each), and it is made from LNG (part that doesn't liquify) byproduct.

  • this type of stop-and-go conflict massively favors the US

    good analysis, but this is false, because Iranian missile/drone production is higher than US's, and so it recovers faster than US. JDAM production capacity is high though, even if 2026 budget is only for 2300, and are dependent on rare earths. 2026 budget cost is $80k/unit.

  • Like missile defense systems that are being canibalized out of Asia to serve Israel, this is Japan "defensive" assets that will be kamikazeed onto Iran.

  • Navies are still useful for blockades and threatening areas without drone defense. But the days of winning Navy on navy battles followed by sieges and DDay landings are done.

  • Iran will only mine the straights after it is on life support. Controlling straights is within its capability with drones/missiles and what is best for Iran's economy at expense of other regional economies. 100%. end. Lying pig fuckers telling you otherwise should make you as upset as it makes me.

  • He made bestest deal with Iran. Cocaine and crack for everyone!!! Praise the hero for hostage release. War in Central America.

  • Israel started this war purely to derail peace/nuclear negotiations between US and Iran (twice in 9 months). Killing Ayatolah, and school girls ffs, was a purposeful act to unite Iran to commit to fight. Bombing Tehran oil depots was purposeful act to have Iran retaliate against GCC oil assets. Some Iranian reported attacks on GCC are accused as coming from Israel.

    Israel only wants a destroyed chaotic Iran that is incapable of opposing its genocide and greater expansion. GCC turning against the US is perfect if the US helps fight its GCC allies for greater Israel. Never assume that Israel doesn't want the biggest bugaboo monster leading its enemy regimes, or take seriously any "Israel distraction debate/opposition" that peace was ever its goal.

    Some things that have slipped out this week is that "US was planning this for months". Rubio and Hegseth are demonically possessed to serve Israel, and it is Trump's entire political capital, despite the massive direct bribes from GCC. They were planning only amongst those 3, but planning on how to best serve Netanyahu. It wasn't a pentagon/security council expert plan.

    War can be going to Israel's plan, without pretending that there was something other than a maximally evil plan.

  • Iran is one of 4 drone superpowers (US insignificant 5th), and a missile peer to US. I doubt that 20 destroyers escorting one ship would survive, or at least not flee the escort mission.

  • There is zero chance of this in a month or in 6. US was unable to secure passage by Yemen's coast for unfriendly ships. US ships not substantially different than Russian ships which are unable to approach Ukrainian coast. USS Abraham Lincoln keeps moving further away from Iran (3 times now). Navies are now useless.

    Near term path to getting shipping through SoH without a negotiated ceasefire is to buy Iranian insurance/security. Assume the US doesn't sink you.

  • There was a resolution right after this one that condemned "all sides". Bahrain chose to abstain, and got attacked a few hours later. Latvia voted with US veto.

  • World News @lemmy.ml

    Someone tell Trump to walk down 5th Avenue, like Iran's President just did.

  • First, Israel's only objective is to destroy Iran so that any moral opinion against Genocide is without "moral authority", and is why all progress in negotiations get short circuited by another war.

    Second, US can "declare victory" by negotiating a nuclear deal with Iran, and for Iran removal of all embargoes/sanctions and assurance this doesn't start again in a few years is also victory.

    Simple solution: US buys enriched uranium from Iran for $10m/kg, with possibly a tapered amount over long term. $50M/kg is still a better deal than uniting world against US.

    If the US refuses ceasefire with Israel control, the global economic collapse is avoidable by world renting an IRGC soldier for say $10m per trip, to guide the ship through Iran's coastline with big fat Iranian flag on the ship. Ships need Iranian insurance not Zionazi axis insurance.

    The US was unable to resolve Yemen blockade against unfriendly ships in Red Sea. Iran has 20-50x Yemen's rebel capabilities. The naval escort fantasy only results in extreme humiliation for US.

  • Once a user verifies their identity with Persona, the software performs 269 distinct verification checks and scours the internet and government sources for potential matches, such as by matching your face to politically exposed persons (PEPs), and generating risk and similarity scores for each individual. IP addresses, browser fingerprints, device fingerprints, government ID numbers, phone numbers, names, faces, and even selfie backgrounds are analyzed and retained for up to three years.

    Literaly Skynet surveillance database from a Peter Thiel owned company. The height of Liberal faced governments, an identidity behind all similar legislation, is to pursure total nazi control over all of us.

  • If only WorldCom had thought of paying employees in long distance minutes (they got for free at work), they'd still be around today, under theory that employees would still have worked there.

  • Way to slut shame the Israelites. I guess then everyone should have the divine supremacist right of "Thou shalt steal the land of those you must murder and destroy idols from". Civilizational constraints are so inconvenient, but fortunately now, everyone can be a genocidal chosenite, and we can end the civilizational principles/rules experiment.

  • Yes. verified by satellite, though not a giant crater. Rather key building heavily damaged and radars unusable. Radars is special equipment through US contractors, but rest of base can be repaired with local labour. Still, colonies view of the bases is that it makes them a target without any protection use/value at all. If US still had good relations with GCC, there would be a congressional bill or emergency budget allocation dedicated to their reconstruction already.

    GCC is not just key to world economy. It is key to US financialization bubble/success, and the ones Trump was boasting will be paying for MAGA. Among pure direct bribes to Trump, a $400M plane, $500M for a crypto scam, and funding Zionazi Elison's takeover of TikTok, Paramount/WB. Their betrayal is so extreme, that they are certain to shift alliance to China/BRICS who will outbid the US for GCC friendship.

  • news is extremely stupid as a result of perpetual propaganda/lie machine. They can say your absurdities either to promote illusion of winning, the US started bombing civilian small boats and there needed an excuse, and 40 years ago that was strategy.

    They can’t compete with America or Israel in air or naval power, so this is their alternative of applying pressure without having military superiority.

    They 100% still have the power to control the Straights with supreme drone control and will use the power to selectively allow friendly shipping as they were doing yesterday. and your comment is pure stupidity if not purposeful lie.

    3 people downvoted my original correction. Stop your ignorance by quitting your media.

  • If most analysts knew it, then how did Israel trick them?

    Most analysts/woken people knew that Israel wants Iran destruction for its own sake, does not mean that no Israel agents are in government and incapable of manipulating toddler in chief towards the goal.

    You’re saying it’s some kind of satellite, a vassal state, of Big Bad Puppetmaster Israel?

    Yes. 99% of politicians swear a loyalty oath to Israel. Most election money is from Israel, and all of the other election money just agrees with team Israel to make it easier.
