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

[Mr. Racewar1488]

Five of seven Iranian-backed militias in Iraq agree to lay down their arms.


Israel has reportedly approved plans for a new military campaign dubbed “Operation Arrows of Fire,” which is expected to include extensive strikes targeting Beirut and additional areas inside Lebanon.

The Secretary of the Iranian Supreme National Security Council, Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr, has released a statement:

So the only solution is more pain on Iran. Crash their econ with no survivors. Have the civilians want blood from the IRGC. And then they'll save face.

Thoughts?

Target their water infrastructure and this whole issue should be mostly handled in a few weeks.

If destroying Qanats was good enough for Leto II, it's good enough for Trump.

 

[Ghostse]

It sounds like Iran's obstinate refusal to drop the Hezbollah issue is starting to backfire on them, and both Israel and Trump are tired of playing these "I'm not touching you" games.

You want Hezbollah destroyed because they threaten Israel.
I want Hezbollah destroyed and every muslim in Lebanon killed or driven into the sea because it'll be mean we can really start Noticing(tm) Jewshines without the "But palestinian terror attacks on jews!" being used as misdirection.

We are not the same.

The worst case scenario is Iran throwing off the shackles of Shi'ite oppression and becoming a Western-style democracy. The House of Saud can not allow this to happen and will do anything to stop it.

No, the worst case scenario is there being a full scale civil war in Iran due to no unified opposition. We are talking Syria levels of clusterfuck if everything goes south and ethnic and religious groups fully fracture and try to claim their own territority.
Peaceful coexistance will be nearly impossible due to the utterly fucked state of resources in country including water (read: farms).

Normally Arabs wouldn't care about browns killing each other except they have to in this case.
Excepting Turkey and Pakistan, Iran has as much population as its neighbors combined. If there is a multi-way civil war that, due to being Arabs, turns into Ethnic Cleansings via violent and retarded militias, he refugee flood will be too much for them to absorb, especially when you add in the internal issues you mentioned.

The GCC declares Hezbollah a terrorist org and denounces them starting shit in Lebanon.

"We declare Hezbollah a terrorist organization. But as we are Muslims, that means absolutely nothign as we love and support terrorists. But you know, slapping that label on them. Hopefully that appeases Trump."

"If Israel hits the Beqaa Valley or Beirut, this not only harms prospects of ongoing MoU negotiations, but even the current ceasefire understanding between the U.S. and Iran." lol, the MoU is dead. Long live Bridge and Power Plant Day!

MES is really coping for the MoU.
I wonder why the IRGC's number one catamite herald would be shilling show hard for a peace agreement for Iran. Really steams the ol' cantalope.

Thoughts and prayers for BPPD...

This memorial day, please remember the cake in my freezer and keep it in your thoughts and prayers.

I wish this was an AI generated image, but sadly, it is totally true.

Sen Graham has raised the Black Hat of Total Muslim Death.

Somewhat OT, but I always find myself wondering why Americans don't instantly cream their pants when they find out why they UNEMPLOYED NIGGERS can't afford healthcare.

Corrected your post. People with jobs afford it just fine.

Basically. The current IDF action in Lebanon was bound to happen. They're using small drones, but what's more interesting is that these drones are not radio controlled they're wire controlled.
These drones aren't even fancy. They're off the market. Quadcopters with some dampers around the engines so they don't buzz as loudly And an RPG had zip tied to the front of it .

According to some of my friends, they're being defeated by effectively chicken wire fences. Which are being draped around the Hescos and on top of this. Israel excels at Hi-Tech, but every time it excels at high tech, it leads a massive opening for low-tech and that's these problems are arrive. As for the wire, these drones are being driven by spools of either civilian fiber optic wires or repurposed fly-by-wire missile systems

They're fiber and radio guided.

Radio guided ones deeper in Lebanon and fiber ones closer to Israel (usually)

A metal missile wire spool (TOW, Konkurs, Fagot) is too heavy for a small drone to carry a useful payload

You have to physically stop them, via shootdowns or barriers. There are things being worked on to essentially send a mass of laser light from an aerial drone or other platform to make the fiber optics of drones waiting in ambush on the ground/down low to get them detected.

The real question is how to crash their economy without causing so much damage that Iran is fucked for a decade or more. We joke about Bridge & Power Plant Day but if we went through with it Iran wouldn't be able to afford to rebuild without our help which we need to avoid. Taking Kharg Island would be the best way but we'd need to neutralize every drone and rocket launch site that could hit it or cover the island in Patriot and THAAD batteries.

So checks stopped clearing and only 2 of the 7 were actually idelogical and not just warlords plying the traditonal Islamic trade is what i am taking this as.

What's funny is this is how the USA stabilized Iraq. We realized Al Qaeda was paying these idiots to attack us. So we just paid them more to not attack us.

 

[SleepingBull]

While I fully agree we must avoid helping them rebuild, I fail to see any reason why we should care one way or another about rendering them unable to rebuild on their own. If anything it seems quite beneficial in the long run if they are left permanently crippled.

Nuclear enrichment is no scientific secret, it is an engineering problem of scale. The best and most reliable way to ensure a nonenrichment deal is never violated is to ensure that they are never again have the economic base required to do so.

Breaking News 6/25/26: 5 new armed militia backed by Iran have formed in Iraq.

Or more likely "Iran identified two militia they wanted to keep funding"

Taking Kharg Island would be the best way but we'd need to neutralize every drone and rocket launch site that could hit it or cover the island in Patriot and THAAD batteries.

Its about the same reason Trump brought Bibi to heel when they started hitting oil infrastructure; we could level Iran's energy sector in 24 hours and reduce them to complete povery for a generation. But in doing so, we ensure that Iranian oil is off the market for years and that will fuck oil market normalization.

What's funny is this is how the USA stabilized Iraq. We realized Al Qaeda was paying these idiots to attack us. So we just paid them more to not attack us.

Its more than that.
In a rare of hearts and minds """""Working""""" (for some really stretched values of working) the US worked with the Sunni minority to assure them that the Shiites and Kurds wouldn't just be allowed to come and subject them to the same rape and oppression they'd delivered to those two groups.
Part of that was providing Gibs to the population because they were in backwater unimportant regions that were getting near zero reconstruction money.
Once the Sunnis weren't starving and realized "Oh fuck the Crusaders are the only thing stopping us from being murdered and raped like goats" they quickly flipped to being pro-US. This unfortunately coincided almost in real time with the Shiites getting Quds puppeteers and going full Muslim when they realized the US was stopping them from killing everyone who wasn't Shiite. But that's a story for another day.

To counter point myself, these Sunni niggers were where ISIS recruited and found fertile ground - mostly due to years of getting shafted by the Shiite government in Baghdad and the military units that should have stopped such things being commanded by Shiite political appointee officers who fled at the first sign of trouble as is customary for Arabs. With no leadership, the units were isolated with no ability to coordinate and the distinct feeling that reinforcements weren't coming.
Hence, ISIS getting themselves some armored divisions of Abrams.

5 of the 7 Iranian-backed militias that are the most independent of Iran already, and already most formally integrated into the Iraqi government's forces, agree to "lay down their arms"

What's the source and description of this?

 

[Mr. Racewar1488]

Locals in Bandar Abbas are reporting AA activity and Mehr has confirmed explosions but no explanation given.


Similar activity has been reported on Sirik and Jask Islands, possible exercises that the military hasn't informed the media about.


The local governor said it was UXO being taken care of. At almost midnight. On a Monday. On three different islands.

 

[draggs]

What's the source and description of this?

That is Lebanon. Apparently Netanyajoo thinks a deal is possible because today Israel essentially said the fake and gay ceasefire in Lebanon is over and they're gonna increase the buttblasting of Hezbollah. Since they'll probably have to stop for real as part of a US-Iran deal

 

[Mr. Racewar1488]

UNCONFIRMED reports of IRGC and USN fighting.

 

[Karakhalkin-Gol]

these 60 days of edging better fucking pay off.

 

[Catch The Rainbow]

The Home Front Command is tightening the guidelines in the conflict line communities:
- Gatherings of up to 50 people indoors and 200 in an open area.
- No student transportation in some of the communities (and except for special education).
