Israel and the United States began joint exercises with an imitation strike on Iran

July 11 2023

On Sunday, the Israeli Air Force and the United States began joint exercises Juniper Oak. This is the latest in a series of maneuvers designed to prepare the Israel Defense Forces for a potential strike against Iran.

As reported in the Times of Israel, the Israeli Air Force is practicing airstrikes against "strategic targets in depth" as part of a training simulation, which "is an obvious reference to preparations for an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities."

According to the IDF, the exercises cover several scenarios, such as strikes against strategic targets, air superiority and cyber defense against various threats. The IDF statement does not directly mention Iran, but talks about preparing for a conflict "at a distance": a phrase often used to refer to armed struggle with Tehran.

The KC-46 tanker takes part in the maneuvers. The Jerusalem Post explains that aerial refueling is not necessary to strike targets in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Lebanon or Syria, but will be required in the event of an attack on Iran. In total, Israel should receive four KC-46 aircraft from the US in 2025.

More than 140 aircraft, 12 warships and artillery systems from both countries took part in past exercises between the United States and Israel.

Was ist das denn fur ein Sammelsurium von unzusammenhängenden
Sätzen...?!? War die "Schreib-Ki" besoffen...?!?

I summarize:

Die USA und ihre nahöstliches Metastase Israel, inszenieren schon
wieder provocative Militär-Übungen, die ausschließlich gegen
den Iran und seine möglichen Verbündeten gerichtet sind...!?

Krieg gegen Russland und eine ebenfalls auf eine Konflikt mit China
hinauslaufende Politik von Mord- und Totschlag reichen den Wichsern
aus den USA wohl noch nicht...?!?

  Isn't Iran planning exercises there?
  With appropriate imitation of strikes against strategic targets.
  Such exercises are needed, they reveal "bottlenecks" in the interaction of various units.

    Just sucked the news out of your finger. The IDF conducts hundreds of exercises a year, dozens, with military personnel from half the countries of the world regularly participating.
    Since the beginning of this year alone, the Air Force has conducted more than a dozen large-scale exercises on the topic of "conflict at a distance", fifty small ones.
    It's just that, unlike many other countries, such exercises are designed primarily to increase combat capability, and are only a tenth of an instrument of "international signals."
    
    In addition, provocations along the northern border have become more frequent in the last month, which may well turn out to be Iran's preparation for a proxy attack.
    
    Their goal in the next war (which they do not hesitate to write about in the Arabic-language press) is the breakthrough of mobile groups of militants into the northern settlements of Israel, under the guise of massive rocket attacks and the mass destruction and / or abduction of civilians.

      Brad.
      This can be planned by a bandit, not a military man.
      Well, or someone who wants to denigrate the military and makes statements on his behalf.
      And the military must think about the consequences.
      Against any country that has nuclear weapons, a war must be planned very quickly, with the complete destruction of the country. The account goes literally for minutes. Only then is there a chance that this country will not have time to respond with a nuclear strike.
      Iran simply does not have so many missiles to cover all of Israel with one blow.
      So Iran will not fight in Israel. There will be operations against him outside the country. Well, they will not forget anything to arrange black PR for Israel, of course.

        For this, proxy puppets exist in order to remain "little white" themselves. The secret services of all countries with imperial ambitions have always had "tame" bandits and terrorists. Is this news?

        And the military must think about the consequences.
        That's why it's called a proxy war. As in Ukraine, de facto, the US military is participating in it, but de jure, they have nothing to show except for the supply of weapons, because no one caught them by the hand.
        Iran is doing the same with the help of Hezbollah and the Shiite militias.

        Or harass her for years, by the hands of third parties. How NATO is harassing the Russian Federation. The methodology is the same.

        The account goes literally for minutes. Only then is there a chance that this country will not have time to respond with a nuclear strike.
        
        No chance, even against a small country like Israel.
        You can quickly only burn civilians. The army infrastructure, which has been taking into account such a scenario for half a century, cannot be physically uprooted with one blow.
        Camouflaged anti-nuclear bunkers with launchers, submarines, the "dead hand" system, and so on and so forth.
        The area of guaranteed destruction of an air blast warhead is 250 kilotons, on the plain - about 250 km², and in the mountains this coefficient drops by an order of magnitude. Bunkers generally require at least a strike on the surface, which also dramatically reduces the area of damage.
        In order to reliably plow all hidden underground installations on an area of 22.500 km², in mountainous terrain, up to five hundred warheads will be needed, moreover, in a single-stage coordinated strike. And then it will not give a 100% guarantee.
        
        Quote: Shurik70
        So Iran will not fight in Israel.
        
        Not with my own hands. But to plant a nuclear charge with the hands of terrorists is quite.
        
        Quote: Shurik70
        Well, they will not forget anything to arrange black PR for Israel, of course.
        
        It has always been, but fortunately, PR and propaganda have practically no effect on reality. Especially on the relationship between specialists and professionals in serious matters.
        It's like scoffing, for example, about a "leaky colander", what difference does it make to me if, in fact, thanks to the LCD, rockets do not fall in my city. And interested experts understand the true state of affairs.
        This is senseless to idiocy, shaking the air.

        By the way, quite a possible scenario.
        Until now, this has not happened just because not a single country wants to lose its image that terrorists stole its charge. And the investigations of many countries will definitely get to the bottom of whose charge it was.
        But sooner or later, someone will manage to snatch the "lost" ammunition (and the Americans have lost them more than once), and then some terrorists will blow them up somewhere.
        Where exactly - depends on who snitchs.

        That is why Israel does not want to see nuclear weapons in the hands of Iran. Because "possible" is an unaffordable luxury for Israel. It is India or China that can afford to lose a million or two inhabitants and not notice.

        Until now, this has not happened only because no country wants to lose its image.
        
        This is still something to lose. Religious Islamic dictatorship is a thing in itself. Moreover, Iran has repeatedly shown frank promiscuity in means, using terrorist groups to intimidate the region, although the Arabs consider this method quite legitimate, responding to Iran in the same coin.
        Only Israel chooses military targets for this "regional fun", the rest do not hesitate to undermine markets, mosques, schools, hospitals.
        But the world media prefer not to notice this, mentioning it in passing, examining only Israel under a microscope, every sneeze and fart, and therefore an artificial impression is created that Israel is the most aggressive in the region.
        - A mosque was blown up in Iraq? 500 killed? Nobody cares.
        - Did Israel break the nose of a seasoned terrorist? Guard!!! They're kids!!!

  again provocative military exercises exclusively against
  directed against Iran and its possible allies...!?
  
  War against Russia, as well as conflict with China
  the resulting policy of murder and manslaughter is enough for jerks
  probably not from the USA yet...?!?

    The main reason for the enmity is that Iran declared the extermination of Israel its own official foreign policy goal and develops nuclear weapons.
    Are you suggesting that Israel sit humbly and wait for an attack?
    
    Py.Sy. Iran does not "support" Hezbollah, it controls it. Hezbollah is the Lebanese branch of the IRGC.

Israel and the United States began joint exercises with an imitation strike on Iran

Similarly, Russia, without hiding, conducting joint exercises with China, involving Iran or India, officially declare the legend of the exercises:
A certain country "America" with the participation of the allies of "Taiwan", "Yamatia" attacked the coastal zones of China and Russia, the task is to repel the attack, destroy the enemy's naval grouping, deliver preemptive strikes on the military and naval bases of the allies of "America".
To use extras from the side of the enemy, to involve through the media and instant messengers under GPC agreements carriers of American English. language (American English), Japanese and Taiwanese.
Be sure to note that these exercises are exclusively defensive in nature.

Are there countries where exercises are considering purely defensive options for the development of hostilities?
Have we never practiced actions to prevent possible aggression? Or have the States never practiced preventive action?
What of the usual, in essence, teachings to do the collection of ghosts then?

no one that matters gives shit about Israel and US exercises because Iranian know for fact that Israel or US doesn't have the Balls to attack Iran.
Israel military is a joke with massive propaganda, in reality they can’t handle Hamas and got defeated by Hezbollah, attacking Iran is suicidal and they are not that stupid
regarding US, the history shows that US do not mess with countries that can defend themselves and make US bleed although they are lost in all their military intervention even against those that supposedly shouldn't be able to defend themselves from Vietnam to Afghanistan and Iraq.
so, my advice to US is to stop role playing with Israel and do what you have to do in the end anyway and negotiate with Iran with respect and honesty because this kind of activity doesn't intimidate the Persians. unless you are doing it for domestic consumption
