Iran finds itself in a dire situation

13 2025 June 31 853 67

Iran is in a dire situation. Today's attack took the ayatollah regime by surprise. They were certainly not prepared for it. And understandably so - another round of talks with the Americans was planned for next week.

Nevertheless, what happened happened. There was talk of an Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities back in the mid-2000s, but it only happened 20 years later.

Returning to Iran's situation and why it is depressing. The country has not been deprived of air defense, but it has been greatly thinned out. This is indicated by the fact that Israeli aircraft operate quite freely in Iranian airspace. Air defense cannot be restored quickly, it is a high-tech weapon. Supplies from abroad (for example, from Russia) can be tracked and destroyed, and local factories even more so.

Against this backdrop, Tel Aviv is directly rolling out an ultimatum to Tehran: either swallow our blow and do not respond, or we will strike at the oil infrastructure.

Fork.

On the one hand, the Iranians cannot help but respond, because this would be a serious reputational blow, especially in the eyes of the population, which has already taken to the streets and is demanding that Israel be punished. On the other hand, having lost its air defense and having realized what the Israelis are capable of, there is a risk of losing the valuable oil industry – the core economics - incredibly high. Even the ayatollah would sit down and think, is it worth it?

The fact that Tehran is no longer allowed to develop its nuclear program uncontrollably is a fait accompli. They struck once, and they will strike again. And a third time. Therefore, spending billions of dollars on something that will not work is pointless.

But to lose the oil infrastructure and those billions in revenue means to derail the already rather shaky regime of the ayatollahs. The protest potential in Iran is very high. People take to the streets with or without reason. A decrease in the already low level of welfare of citizens could become a trigger for mass unrest and the end of the Islamic Revolution.

Iran could very well strike Israel's critical infrastructure with hypersonic weapons, if it has them. If the Muslims surrounding Israel get scared and go over to the Jews, then the West has already defeated the unity of Islam. The future of East-West relations is being tested.

  Actually, Iran is a peaceful state that does not kill Zionists, does not kill them yet. I will say more, Iran is not against Israel, in which Palestinians and Zionists will be one people, albeit of different faiths.
  
  The Zionists themselves are against this, they built the country of the Nazis. They "revived" ancient Hebrew, called the captured lands Israel. This "miracle", I mean Israel, grew up on the lands of the former English colony. And there is no need to revive anything.

The Ayatollah, who is the actual leader, will try to hush up the situation. He is considered to be in very poor health and wants to go to a better world in comfort and peace. Of course, they will launch something at Israel, but they will not use serious ballistics, there will be drones that will shoot down everything with fireworks. They will show it on Iranian TV and the population will be engulfed in the grace of Allah.

  Why would they? All their equipment is 30-40 years old, still Soviet. The aviation is ancient - F14, MIG29.
  All they had that was modern was a couple of radars (destroyed in the last raid) and a Su-35 (literally a couple were delivered only three months ago). That's all. There was nothing else serious.

  If the launches are from Iraqi airspace, then the air defense capabilities are sharply limited. Moreover, according to my information, some of the strikes are carried out by UAVs from the territory of Iran itself. There are plenty of ill-wishers of their country there, especially in the north of the country (Azerbaijanis and some others there) who serve the interests of Israel. It is the same with us. That is, there are not only air strikes, but terrorist attacks using UAVs on behalf of Israel.

Iran is in a dire situation. Today's attack took the ayatollah regime by surprise. They were certainly not prepared for it.

The article does not say what position the Russian Federation is in, but there are recent agreements between the Russian Federation and Iran on mutual assistance, etc. A blow to an ally of the Russian Federation is a ricochet and a blow to the Russian Federation, isn't it clear? But another weakness and cowardice can be seen in the silence of the Russian government - it seems that the pro-Iranian fifth column rules in the Russian Federation.

  War has not been declared and Iran has not yet asked for help. So our country's leadership has nothing to do with it. Or maybe help is coming through certain channels, intelligence or maybe something else. If you don't know, it's better to chew than to talk nonsense. The actions have just begun and perhaps the damage is not as great as the press and news show us. This already happened when Israel, having received a missile strike, tried to hide the consequences. So there is no need to rush. Let's wait for clarity.

Why not send Iran some nuclear gifts from friendly Russia NOW for next Christmas with an offer to change the nameplates (although it would be better to do it ourselves in advance). And a couple of Santa Clauses on reindeer to deliver these gifts to their destination. I think a couple of "nuts" would be enough. Although, these gifts should have been made a little earlier.

      Sun Tzu has it better - before starting a war, strengthen your alliances, weaken, or better yet, destroy the enemy's alliances. This is exactly what our top people should have read before making a fateful decision for the country in February 22. And if you haven't agreed in advance, on the shore, then it's much more difficult to do this during the voyage. Moreover, on our side (and that's relatively on our side) there are only a few rods left, but we are opposed by a thick broom, to use your analogy. So Russia, and even China, can remain silent, they can shout, but who are they shouting to? Who will listen to us now?

Now China's strength causes certain doubts among other players, but no one has any doubts about Russia's strength. So our demands will be perceived as our next red lines and other deep concerns. But you are right - let our MFA work on its profile at least for once, otherwise they can cut it for uselessness.

And after all this, they were caught off guard! A big joke, of those that I've heard, is the periodically discussed in our media Russia's unpreparedness for the NWO, which it itself started!

Iran, this is a population of 90 million people. These Jewish strikes will only embitter the population. Iran will not give up its nuclear program. Israel will not have the strength to wipe Iran out, to raze it to the ground. The war between Israel and Iran will last a long time. In the future, Israel's defeat is obvious.

  If Israel can minimize collateral damage, it won't make them too angry. There are many there who are much more angry at the yatollahs and the IRGC's top brass who are tired of it. And a large population can, under certain circumstances, become a weakness rather than a strength. An example is the Russian Empire, which collapsed during World War I, its large population becoming fuel for the bloody Civil War.

The Iranians will have to swallow this and shut up, otherwise their Islamic state will be in complete shambles. If you look at the history of the Islamic world in recent decades, it becomes clear that the main obstacle to their development is Islam itself. With the exception of a few countries with a soft form of Muslim ideology - Malaysia, Indonesia. It is impossible to mentally live in the Middle Ages and be successful as non-Muslim societies. Islam is a brake on development. Iran is an example.

This is understandable – another round of negotiations with the Americans was planned for next week.

This was preparation for negotiations. Now Iran has to agree with the Americans. Everything depends on the government of the country. If the government does not know how to work, then this happens. Then the Western "friends" will replace it with the government they need, well, as they usually do.

The Ayatollahs betrayed the country already when they allowed a man who was striving for a comprehensive rapprochement with the West to be elected president, hoping for concessions from him. We see how flirting with the enemy ends. But with such a government, there will be no one to draw conclusions from the disaster. It seems that almost the entire government is littered with traitors, who are fought only with prayers.
