Iran Crisis & the 2026 War between Iran and the United States, Gulf States, and Israel - Please focus on news and coverage, not argumentation.


Footage of a pair of delta-wing fighter jets in the air over the city of Shiraz in southern Iran, today. The plane appear to be either Mirage 2000, Eurofighter Typhoon, or Dassault Rafale.

The US operates neither of these three, so the potential candiates are:

QATAR - Rafale or Typhoon (more likely)
UAE - Mirage 2000 or Rafale (more likely)
SAUDI ARABIA - Typhoon (more likely)
FRANCE - Rafale or Mirage 2000 (less likely)
UK - Typhoon (less likely)



Video received by The Independent Persian journalist Amirhossein Miresmaeili from northern Iran on this Tuesday, March 17 2026, shows Iranians celebrating Chaharshanbe Suri despite the Martial Law with these sentences in the video:
On the orders of our Reza Shah, Happy Chaharshanbe Suri, the place of our Javid Namahs is empty.



Video from Gohardasht, Karaj, shows the celebrations of Chaharshanbe Suri by local citizens' under the Slogan of "Long Live the Shah"



Celebrations of Chaharshanbe Suri in Ekbatan Town, West Tehran



A Video shows a number of Mashhad citizens gathered at night to commemorate Chaharshanbe Suri, responding to a call by Prince Reza Pahlavi on the night of March 16, and chanted the song "Ey Iran" together.



A single Iranian ballistic missile was intercepted over southern Israel.
 
I don't know how the UAE can even help re-open the strait, air defense?

Aircraft to help intercept drones.

I'd have to look up their weapons loadouts, but presumably their modern F-16 and Rafale forces have the kind of precision munitions that if some Iranian launches a drone they can quickly retaliate and provide counter-fires against the launch point, as well.

Assuming the US and Israel have attritioned and run down Iranian air defenses along the strait.
 
we don't get our oil from iran though. the europeans do

Works only with South Korea/Japan. Otherwise the difference isn't that big, really. Oil can reach 200+ bucks a barrel for all I care. Suffah petrolheads, suffah!

If it was uae or Saudi I assume Iran is going to hit a few of their oil fields which won't be fun. My money is on uae
 
You're right. Since 9/11 is and always will be the ONLY Islamic terrorist attack in history, we should bomb Saudi Arabia next. I thought you were against middle east wars but I see you are all in. Good job.
Wait then what was THE FIRST WORLD TRADE CENTER ATTACK? or literally all the fucking airplane hijackings? Or the uss cole, or the 1995 plot to blow up the un, or the shooting at the CIA on jan 25 1993 or the hostage situation on march 9th 1977? Nah those never happened.


Still shilling this psyop I see. :story:
Ok how about iranian dissidents on American soil?
 
Last time I checked Saudi Arabia and Iran are two different, in fact opposed places. You gonna blame Iran for 9/11 like neo cons tried to pin it on Iraq too next?
no, retard, i blame saudi arabia and potentially bush if he really had insider info. i'm blaming the iranians for supporting the shiite militias and groups like that. you know, like the hezbollah military, or like the houthis, who have been a consistent pain in our asses. you are a blithering fucking retard, i've literally shown you that european-inclusive international consortiums agree SHIITE terrorism is the bigger problem. you're an uneducated retard who thought he knew shit about shit, and every time i see you commenting on anything, you reveal how fucking dumb you are. if you smell shit every single place you go (IE you're called a retarded faggot) maybe YOU are the one with dogshit in your shoe treads, retard.

inb4 NUH UH, I HAVE ONE TINY CONTAINMENT GROUP OF KIKESPERGS WHO ALSO CAN'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE WITHOUT BEING CALLED RETARDED FAGGOTS TO HANG OUT WITH.

Still shilling this psyop I see. :story:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/worl...in-iran-backed-plot-to-kill-trump/ar-AA1XJyTj i know, it's hard to keep up when you're retarded.

Most of this thread is just as hysterical and perfidious as Laura Loomer.
says the man who will literally side with muslims over jews. "no, don't bomb the innocent iranians! oh no, they've only funded terrorism against america for 45 years! noooo, don't bomb the heckin' iranians!"

you are not a racist,a nd you never will be. if you were a racist, you'd be cheering for all the dead mudslimes and dead kikes in this operation. instead, you are clutching your pearls harder than any jew on the entire website ever has. you don't realize it, but you are behaving more jewishly than even someone like CTR.

you are raped, and you are brown. no one loves you, and no one ever will. allah is fake, your pedophile prophet fucked a 9 year old, and i will not be engaging any further with your faggotry until you post your hands with a timestamped picture.
They do have a standing army. And their Navy is bigger than the Royal Navy.
no, they have the JSDF, which can only be activated in response to an attack on japanese materiel or soil, not when they want. they are actively working on the process of restoring having a standing army. once again, eurocucks prove they literally do not understand the war they're discussing.

Then why are you so upset then?
"why are you upset your tax dollars have gone to paying for these retards for decades"? are you stupid? i'm upset because i expected better of my allies in THEIR OWN crisis, and they've revealed they can't even pass a simple flinch test.

It fucks over Europe? Good. Fuck 'em.
finally, something we can wholly agree on. it's entirely their own fault, and i will point out how stupid they've been every time. europeans have been smug about their shitty continent for so long it's nice to see them get some dirt in their eye because of their own stupidity.

Nobody likes a sore looser, nobody likes a sore winner either. If Europe is gonna destroy it's self either start dropping JDAMs on Brussels or get your popcorn ready but what you're doing doesn't seem fun for you.
we're sore because they were told to send help and they didn't. if you're going to behave like that, i'm not going to hold back at all, especially on a gay gossip forum. if the niggers on this forum cannot handle intense bantz that are directed at them for failing to keep their countries in any kind of shape where they COULD respond to this, that's entirely something that should make them feel bad and ashamed. they're like fat people. you should make them feel ashamed so they fix the problem.

If you could read... Which you can't seeing as you type like a nigger.
imagine falling for gimmick posting where someone intentionally removes all capitalization from their posts and still thinking you should actually say this, and that it won't just reveal that you've never seen anything else i've posted, and are thus just getting your panties in a bunch because i'm not happy about europeans being a bunch of cuckolded faggots.

You'd see I already pointed out what Europe could send. It's not hard, it's just one more post back.
You okay there bub, maybe you should touch grass or lay off the caffeine.
unironically i probably do need less caffeine, but i don't have that luxury in my line of work.

the europeans got a punk test, and all they had to do was send a dingy with a guy in it to pass, and none of them (except two implied exceptions from Trump) managed to do that. starmer allegedly wanted to send fucking aircraft carriers AFTER we handled it, to look good on the international stage, and trump told him to fuck off.

the fact that you thought i didn't know, rather than didn't give a fuck, what europe could send tells me that you are also raped. i don't have any time for someone playing defense for retarded europeans who have worked so hard to destroy their entire continent. if they wanted to show their support they should have immediately sent whatever they felt they could spare. since they didn't, they can enjoy increased prices through the strait of america, buy 5% of their oil from us instead of the iranians, and continue to import more muslims.

5% of all of a continent's oil is a lot more than it looks like on paper. you underestimate the sheer volume of physical crude that moves through there. think about that. 5% of the entire oil consumption of a continent that is reliant on petroleum-generated power as well as natgas and coalfired power. they will have to find a replacement for that 5%, and the best option is us or the ruskies.
 
My earnest attempt at seriousposting. I will banter in the other thread. I pledge to write my actual thoughts and not fuck around because I value this place and you retards, even the jews:^):

As of writing this I am an american. This is an american website. In this instance I do not care about your religion. If you are a burgerboy you are my countryman, if you are an israeli or of any other nation acting against US interests you are unfortunately my enemy. I still wish to treat you with respect because I wish to understand my enemy, and perhaps even befriend and win over my enemy. Jesus Christ is the Son of God but His Kingdom is in Heaven and not here on earth.

What do you gentlemen think was the main objective of this campaign at the beginning, and have the goals changed?

At present I believe the entire operation is first and foremost about containing china and that a unique set of hawks under trump(like hegseth) pushed it further than it has ever gone before, running hot on their recent victories. I went into this thinking that it almost assuredly began with some form of israeli action, as has been, lol, but im nowhere near so certain anymore.

So is this really about a nonexistant but possible nuke, or even necessarily the security of israel beyond its strategic value?

Trump has taken a lot of money from the israelis but there have been times where he has stood up to them, nevermind that strange public address to miriam adelson about her allegiance. His actual relationship to netanyahoo is still debated i would claim. I believe we have enemies domestic but i am not in the position to decide that. I am undecided as to whether trump is a traitor to the Constitution. I believe hegseth is, as well as other key individuals over the past 25 years.

I would also claim that all the wars in the ME over the past 25 years have benefitted israel more than the US. Is this the first one that isnt mainly about them?? The big one that bibi has been asking for all this time? That would be ironic.

I think im going to try and stop wondering how all this ends or continues. Wise men are likely cautious with predictions right now. I pledge to have some tact from now on discussing this mess. We are at war, US servicemembers that swore an oath to the Constitution are dying as well as many innocent people. If you are an american in 2026 you must respect that or you are literally not an american.

My father was a combat infantryman in vietnam in 1967. He became disillusioned with US foreign policy afterwards, but he always made a convincing case that it was indeed the best form of government despite many troublesome episodes in the past. It took me some time but I agree with him.

I guess I would let a southerner argue with me about that but otherwise frig off. 1A. 2A. Everything else comes after. If we dont have the Constitution we have nothing in common. I do admit to being a jeffersonian of sorts, I wish we could expedite watering the tree of liberty and fighting enemies foreign and domestic. Alas again that is not for me to decide.

I hope to have earnest conversations with anyone here and I urge you all to be honest and genuine with your statements. This is the true value of free speech. Blasting hard Rs is actually second place.

Eurocucks dont understand that 5% of there crude oil comes from the strait. The U.S. can subsidize the small percentage its getting.
Let's not pretend a self reliant Europe would be beneficial for the US. Germany + Russia would be (or would've been) an actual powerhouse but the main focus of anglo saxon politics throughout the years was to prevent exactly that.

You can't create toothless vassals and then blame them for being toothless.

WTC bombing - Al Qaeda
1995 UN bomb plot - Al Qaeda
USS Cole - Al Qaeda
1993 CIA shooting - Sunni Pakistani national

Not Iranians or Shiites. You’re lying with an agenda to further the advances of the country you’re solely loyal to.
 
They do have a standing army. And their Navy is bigger than the Royal Navy.
Neither here nor there, but it always amuses me that they call their new carriers "multirole helicopter carrying destroyers/cruisers" just to stay within article 9

It's like how americans put braces on short barreled rifles, calling them pistols, to not run afoul of the NFA.

Understandable, but amusing
 
Before the retarded niggers scream about Israel closing the church of the holy sepulcher being closed for the first time since the Fatimid caliph destroyed it in the 11th century. Shrapnel from an intercepted iranian missile landed landed on it/near it (and also the temple mount complex and the western wall).

But you're right it's totally Israelis fault for iran targeting the old sector of Jerusalem. Israel should have just let iran hit some church or something .

(No one was hurt btw, it's just there are iranian rocket bits that need to be checked and cleared).
 
Believe it or not they can decide for themselves if they wanna die for that 5% or just buy it from somewhere else
I'm sorry but what WW1-esque nightmare do you think this Iran op is? The total US casualties, including random non-combat mishaps, haven't even hit 20 after almost a month of non-stop strikes from both sides. The chances of anyone else "dying for X" should they get involved is practically zero unless they just throw soldiers at it like a retard instead of supplying something actually useful like equipment.

not every country is a hyper-militarized fascist shithole.
But enough about BRICS.
 
i want you to really think about this one, which country do you think has a bigger budget and has spent more money and given more munitions to terrorists? you think Iran is outspending the US on anything?
since 1979? yes, iran has spent more money on irregulars than the US since 1979. the US funded the party of seven in afghanistan and the contras. the mujahideen is estimated at $5-8 billion. about $300 million on the contras. iran has spent a minimum $1 billion a year funding shiite terrorist groups for decades, and spent $16 billion alone from 2012 to 2020 aiding the assad government and its various terrorist allies like hamas and hezbollah
i'm sure it's nice being uneducated. almost every single US intervention required funding and training rebels.
if you had read that list you would have seen there are 3 "interventions" on that list where irregulars were funded: cuba, nicaragua, afghanistan. the rest of that list is funding and training formal, organized militaries to fight communist insurgencies, overthrow commie governments, or involved direct US military intervention. not funding irregulars
 
I would also claim that all the wars in the ME over the past 25 years have benefitted israel more than the US. Is this the first one that isnt mainly about them?? The big one that bibi has been asking for all this time? That would be ironic.
This is a fallacy. It's irrelevant who benefits the most from wars in the ME. If both Israel and the US benefitted but Israel benefitted more, it would still be worthwhile for the US to do. But I'm not sure that the major American incursions into the ME were all that relevant to Israel, given that Iraq and Afghanistan were bit players in Israeli problems, and the US war in Iraq put Israel at risk. They didn't participate.

As of writing this I am an american. This is an american website. In this instance I do not care about your religion. If you are a burgerboy you are my countryman, if you are an israeli or of any other nation acting against US interests you are unfortunately my enemy.

Israel isn't directly working against your interests; Israel works in its own interests which may or may not be yours. Right now, both the US and Israel seem pretty interested in bombing the hell out of Iran, so I guess, shared interests today. I don't know what you mean about winning enemies over. You want to convince Israelis to become Burgers?
 
The IRGC has confirmed that the Basij's top commander, Gholamreza Soleimani, is indeed dead. (Archive) Same strike that wiped out his 2nd in command and Larijani BTW.

Since they can't do much against the Burgers & Yids who just sent their bosses to meet the ayylmao lolis waiting for them in Hell, the impotent Islamist security forces are now venting their rage by shooting at the apartments of people cheering the former's deaths, ex. in Chitgar from earlier.



Nevertheless Iranian civilians aren't impressed and continue to openly defy them - for example, the Chaharshanbe Suri celebration tonight in Tehran, where people are now so contemptuous of the Islamists that they're literally lighting bright unmissable bonfires and chanting 'Javid Shah' in the streets.



Another street party in a different part of the capital.



Yet more chants of 'Javid Shah' in Tehran's Pounak neighborhood, unclear if the other background noises are people setting off fireworks to celebrate Chaharshanbe Suri or Islamists shooting at them to try to shut them up.



Yet another fire-jumping street party with chants of 'Javid Shah', this time not in Tehran or any of its suburbs but in Karaj. Seems the Basij & IRGC can't be everywhere to stop people from having fun at their Shah's command.



Civilians in Urmia celebrate Chaharshanbe Suri by singing 'Ey Iran', a patriotic Iranian song around another fire. Some context on 'Ey Iran' - it was originally written during the Anglo-Soviet occupation of Iran in WW2 which sent Reza Pahlavi I (the current Shah claimant's grandpa) packing, adopted as the anthem by the short-lived transitional gov't after the Shah fell but before the Islamists took over (after which it was suppressed by said Islamists), and it's basically a generic revolutionary/patriotic tune now.

But enough about BRICS.
Your navy is at least a hundred miles from Iranian shores and your dear leader expects europeans escort ships through the strait.
