Iran is ready for a direct confrontation with the American army.

The Iranian military is prepared for any scenario, including a possible direct clash with American forces during a ground operation, according to Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei.

The US is deploying Marines to the Middle East. The amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli, carrying 2,5 Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Force, has departed for the region. Additionally, there are 20 F-35B fighter jets on board. The ship departed from Japan and has already transited the South China Sea. It is expected that this unit will participate in a ground operation, but it is not yet clear what kind.

Iran is prepared for a ground clash with the American army, according to Bagheri, and various scenarios for continuing military operations are currently being considered.

Our armed forces are prepared for any scenario because we know our cause is absolutely just. We are defending our homeland from aggression. Therefore, our military, our people—the entire nation—are prepared for any development.

According to Western media reports, Trump has not yet finalized his plan for continuing the military operation. No one disputes that it will continue, but how it will be done remains unclear. Air strikes won't win the war, and a ground invasion would risk significant losses.

Heavy losses is putting it mildly. The Yankees will attack the Persians on the ground, they'll get their asses kicked, they'll knock them down, and the Iranians will take the surrounding lands from the rotten sheikhs.

If the Iranians find something to hit the Palace of Culture with... it will be a big "mass" grave.
Conducting a ground operation with mattress troops (on their own) is an utter stupidity, which in terms of the scale of losses will be comparable to Vietnam.
Donya has really gone crazy... or maybe the Jews are holding him tightly to Faberge.

BUT "joint"The Coalition forces in Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, and even Iraq—did they do a much smarter job? It's the same old story, whether you throw an owl on a stump or a stump on an owl.
Here, it seems, the decisive factor isn't who fights, but who they fight with. And if the Americans once again quickly cobble together some kind of coalition with anyone other than Israel, it's unlikely to change anything for them.

And further.
At one time, I seriously doubted that the Germans, drunk with freedom, burned the Stasi archives—such papers don't burn. And as an old conspiracy theorist, I understood perfectly well how the Americans viewed the daughter of a pastor who heard confessions, who had no business reporting to the Stasi himself. Meanwhile, contact with the Stasi by a prominent German Komsomol member was considered practically natural. The classic "Dad, you hear him, he chops it down, and I'll take him away." Which, in the free Western European world, would have meant, if not physical, then certain political death for the pastor's daughter.
But I'm still at a loss to guess what kind of Fabergé the Jews might be holding Trump for...

In my opinion, it is not without reason that many people call this coalition the Epstein coalition.
Perhaps that's where Doni got hooked...

[bayard]

The New York Chabad community secured Trump's victory and the funding for his election campaign. So they have to work for it. Blackmail is unlikely. Other reasons are also possible—for example, to cut off a key oil and gas region supplying China and Europe, the US's competitors. Then the goal isn't to seize it, but to destroy everything there, even with a nuclear strike, so that it lasts for a long time, while the US restarts its economy and industry and rearms its army. They need to create problems for China and Europe for 10 years. But they will try to take control of all the oil resources in the Eastern Hemisphere. By the way, if they destroy everything there with nuclear bombs, Trump will take Greenland in the deathly silence of Europe. The British set a trap for them in Persia, but Trump can do something unexpected. Either himself or through Israel.

Or changes the vector and location of the future TMV.
I'm more interested in what the French and British are handing over to the Ukrainian Armed Forces for nuclear warheads. Drone attacks on Moscow are too reminiscent of probing and discharging air defenses before a cruise missile strike. And the cruise missile could even be armed with nuclear warheads. The British really need escalation. Not everyone, but those who, losing power (financial, and therefore actual), are ready to burn the world down, while they themselves sit it out in New Zealand, Australia, or Antarctica, and then start all over again. The threat of such a cowardly strike hasn't gone away. That's when the Burevestniks, with their range and endurance, will come in handy for dealing with these ghoul hideouts.

[El123]

You wrote this about Venezuela and how the people will defend the great Venezuelan leader.

[vadson]

Did they conduct a ground operation in Venezuela? Special forces work isn't a ground operation, no matter how you look at it, and the mentality of Latinos and Persians is different.

[Skameri]

Some people study, while others live in a world of fantasy and propaganda.

[Skameri]

Yeah, Iran will get a real beating from the US in the event of a ground operation with complete air dominance.

[Adrey]

The ship left Japan and has already passed through the South China Sea.

They're moving fast, though. We can expect some activity as early as next week.

[andrey martov]

I bet the World will lose the war in this fight! . . .

[kind]

The bet is on how soon this Tripoli will sink or turn back.

[El123]

Come on. How much are you willing to bet that he'll reach the port he's headed to?

[Ruslan Golota]

On fire). It looks like it will become reality later from DMB (

[isv000]

Trump claimed even before his attack that he had 40,000 bodies stored in the Middle East. They're not exactly a godlike army, but they'll drink a lot of blood before the Persians even get their bearings. Once they do, you Yankees, you won't hold it against them. You'll take whoever you can, and the rest will be burned for sanitary purposes...

[flicker]

Air strikes cannot win the war, and a ground invasion is a threat

pin dosam and a complete disaster.

[newtc7]

Well, if the Iranians have a FPV, and by all appearances they do, the Americans are in for a real treat. And there's a good chance none of them will return home. And how are they planning on landing if they can't swim? It's highly doubtful they'll go for it; after all, landing operations in the modern world are almost a 100% guarantee of defeat.

[uralex]

...which carries 2,5 Marines and 20 F-35B fighter jets.

I hope they don't make it!..

[Vladlous]

I still believe in the strength of the Iranian army. But not just in the army, but also in its leadership. As Alexander the Great said: "I do not fear an army of lions led by a sheep, but I fear an army of sheep led by a lion." The Iranian leadership, despite significant losses in its command staff, has proven that it is prepared to fight to the death.

And they don't seek negotiations, don't cast their nets in the hopes of bargaining, knowing they're risking their lives. They have ideological leaders who are ready to die for their country alongside their country's rank-and-file soldiers. It makes you want to ask: what about us?...

That's why I believe in Iran. And I believe the Americans will be in serious trouble if they intervene by land. And they will. Much has been said about this, and reasons have been given for why they will do so—Trump has no other choice.

And I hope that we will finally learn at least some lessons, stop playing these shameful negotiating games, and start fighting like Iran. Fortunately, our homeland has completely different capabilities.

But I wouldn't want to completely believe that our army is led by, well, maybe not lions, then at least wolves... because after all these things... how to put it mildly, I'd better keep quiet, well, you know...

Iran lost its leader, its spiritual leader, and more than 40 generals in just a few days, but it didn't fall. They have an unbreakable spirit, which I once greatly doubted, but now I see that these are truly great warriors, warriors of the spirit, warriors of the idea.

It's a shame we're not fighting Ukraine the way Iran is fighting the US and Israel. Instead of blowing up transformers with cruise missiles and Geranium missiles, they could have long ago wiped out Ukraine's entire leadership, sending logistics, communications, and government back to the Stone Age, and disrupting the centralized command of their army.

In the meantime, forgive me, but Alexander the Great comes to mind.

Quote: Vladlous

Iran lost its leader, its spiritual leader, and more than 40 generals in a matter of days, but it did not fall.

What we can learn from Iran is that their leadership isn't tied to a single individual. Like a shark's teeth, they grow constantly and simultaneously in several rows, advancing forward, with new teeth constantly replacing broken or worn-down ones. In other words, Iran's leadership is redundant, multiple times.
And we have?
Can anyone say with 100% certainty about the continuity of the country's course "post-Putin"? And if this is simply worrying us, then VERY many in the world are eagerly awaiting this "post-Putin" moment—what if there's a U-turn, like in 1986-1991?
Incidentally, in America, they don't even know what "continuity of policy" means, unless it's related to hatred of Russia. Every new president begins his term by repealing the decrees of the previous one.

Quote: Vladlous

It's possible to believe it, but objectively speaking, over the last three hundred years, if not more, the Iranian/Persian army hasn't had much success with victories.

Quote: Vladlous

It's a pity that we are not fighting against Ukraine in the same way that Iran is fighting against the US and Israel.

Maybe it's better not to? Striking tankers, hotels, and empty military bases is impressive, sure, but not very effective militarily. In any case, the Iranian army hasn't captured a single square meter of Israel, let alone the United States. Unlike Russia in Ukraine.
And while Israel suffered from Iranian missiles, American industry, the economy, and the armed forces were virtually unharmed.

Quote: Vladlous

It would have been possible to completely destroy the entire Ukrainian leadership long ago, send logistics, communications, and government administration back to the Stone Age, and break the centralized control of their army.

Following the example of the US and Israel, or following the example of Iran? Who are you referring to? Who is winning there now, having destroyed the leadership, logistics, communications, state administration, and centralized command of the army?

[LAlexAlex]

Israel and the US are well censored, so there's a chance it's a sensitive strike and not completely off-target, but they won't disclose their losses at this stage. They've hit Arab radars and oil fields quite accurately, meaning they could hit Israel as well.

It's possible to believe it, but objectively speaking, over the last three hundred years, if not more, the Iranian/Persian army hasn't had much success with victories.

The US hasn't had much success with victories lately either; I wouldn't bet on them, despite their statistical and, in some ways, technological superiority in defense.

[nik-mazur]

Quote: LAlexAlex

Israel and the US are pretty well censored, so there's a chance it might hit hard and not completely on target.

It's entirely possible, but they won't face military defeat. However, Iran will likely survive as well.

Quote: LAlexAlex

The US hasn't had a great record of winning lately either.

Not so much in terms of purely military victories, especially on your own. Political ones are a bit better. Financial ones are even better.
From this it can be quite logically assumed that no one will have a military victory, everyone will declare a political victory, but from a financial and economic point of view, Iran will most likely lose, and the United States will win.

Stupid – that's unlikely. Alexander the Great's teacher was Aristotle himself.
The Greeks were no longer hungry by the time they captured Persia.
And with cruelty everything was in order everywhere back then.

[KVU-NSVD]

An invasion would require a force of around a million. This means a coalition, local allies and consumables, preferably the domestic armed opposition. Nothing much is in sight yet. Consequently, large-scale ground operations are unrealistic. Perhaps only the madness of capturing small islands or beachheads.

[Bayun]

The only thing the 21st century's failed wars have shown is that it's the same old story! It's not even worth starting without a million fighters. Missiles won't scare anyone. It's strange that some fools forbid the removal of the consequences? They're probably afraid that then they won't be able to intimidate anyone with their expensive "pop guns." The MISTAKE of the world's military-industrial complex and geopolitical strategists is already evident. Expensive "wonder weapons" are inferior to "ghosts with motors" and millions of bayonets on the LBS.

[KVU-NSVD]

Overall, I agree with you. The only thing I'll say is that the ban on filming has a different underlying reason, in my opinion, of course. It's simply one of the cornerstones of information warfare—the enemy shouldn't see your pain.

[Bayun]

Information ban = weakness. In the conditions open wars - when everyone already knows everything - restrictions do more harm than good.

We are initially at an extreme disadvantage in the information war due to the lack of mass Software, hardware, and other "info salts on the wounds." A ban in this situation only makes things worse. "Scary images" not only cause pain but also raise a wave of "noble rage."

[faterdom]

Yeah, the disc-bobber is just charging. It died badly in Venezuela.

[Hariton laptev]

Something tells me these 2,5 brave Americans will be drowned before they even get there. Iran isn't as simple as Doni makes it out to be.

[Fangaro]

Iran is prepared for a ground clash with the American army, according to Bagheri, and various scenarios for continuing military operations are currently being considered.

Iran is ready to fight on its own soil. Yes.
But Iran cannot be prepared for this.
The gap in economics and the ability to inflict damage at long range is too great. The Americans won't dig trenches, won't launch an infantry attack, and are unlikely to even use ground artillery.
And without losses of not even 3 to 1, but at least 1 to 3, that is, one American soldier died, destroying 3 Iranian soldiers, the war would simply become an extermination.
The US will pay with dollars and robots, and Iran will pay with live soldiers and civilians, whom the US will consider "accidental casualties."
I agree that the Yankees need to be kicked in the ass as a lesson.

[Skobaristan]

Your logic is flawed. If the US could do this, it would have happened already. Or what should change when there's infantry? By the way, how much infantry is needed? How much supply is needed, and what's the supply route? And how will they enter?

[Ruslan Golota]

Hormuz is closed. After the closure of Bab el-Mandeb, how much will be left for the economy? For the US, the UK, the rest of Europe?

A rarity in the modern world.

[Andrey Khramov]

Zionist Nazism has unleashed a war against all of humanity, starting with Russia and Iran. Anyone under any illusions about this is deeply mistaken. The war that has been started isn't even about oil. It's a war to preserve humanity in the form of traditional states, or to divide humanity into slaves and their masters across the entire planet. It's final. There's no third option. Because even if the slaves ever rebel, they will be crushed.

[Fangaro]

Quote: vadson

Heavy losses is putting it mildly. The Yankees will attack the Persians on the ground, they'll get their asses kicked, they'll knock them down, and the Iranians will take the surrounding lands from the rotten sheikhs.

And how did these "rotten sheikhs" appear?
They didn't fight among themselves? They didn't fight the Persians? Was the entire Middle East always united in support of the Faith, the Imam, and the Fatherland?
Christians are also of the same (approximately) Faith. And Catholics and Protestants fought together against the Orthodox. Then antagonists against protagonists, then kapi against sots, antifa against nazis...

If there's nothing left to eat, humanity begins to band together to get more food and survive. Or they fight to eat less.
The second is both simpler and more common. Unfortunately.

[Revolver]

Quote from Fangaro

And even more often, they fought to take their neighbor's food for themselves, while they let him die of hunger. Double benefit: you devoured it now, and in the future, there would be less competition for limited resources.

[Bayun]

There are regional nuances. For example, Russians "unite" only for "reconnaissance" and to fight back-to-back against everyone. Germans will unite because it's "right." Americans—if two people can gather not twice as much food as one, but three or four times as much.

[bubalik]

In 2023, the United States practiced a similar scenario during a crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, when the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit was deployed to the Middle East to protect tankers from Iranian hijacking. At the request of the shipowners, teams of 20 Marines were planned to board commercial vessels to protect the ships as they passed through the strait, for which special exercises were conducted.
"We'll see how it goes."

[Chief Officer Lom]

Quote: bubalik

It was planned to land groups of 20 marines on commercial vessels

to protect tankers from being seized by Iran.

It would work if Iran repeated the relatively "herbivorous" response they've gotten used to from everyone since the collapse of the USSR. Now Iran doesn't invade, it shoots up tankers along with their bases; the Marines won't help there.

[solar]

to protect tankers from capture by Iran

There is no longer any talk of capturing tankers, and marine teams on tankers will be of little help against drone or missile strikes.

[Krugov]

2,5 Marines are garbage! You need a 5-10-fold superiority in manpower, clear the coastal zone of countermeasures (air defense, anti-aircraft defense, etc.) so you have somewhere to land the Marines. And then what?! 2,5 will march on Tehran? I don't believe it! They'd rather bring in the neighboring fighters (from the sheikhs and other disenfranchised), and they'll be the main fodder. And then the US will celebrate its victory. (Remember the joke about the Baikal-Amur Mainline?)

[Revolver]

Quote: Krugov

They'll rather bring in the neighboring warriors (from the sheikhs and other aggrieved parties), and they'll be the main meat.

What's the problem? So they'll dispose of some Arabs, Turkmens, and other Afghans. And the sheikhs, the Turkmenbashi, and whatever the Taliban bosses are called, will pocket whatever greenbacks they agree on. It's all good for everyone except Iran.

I doubt the Americans will launch a ground operation. They've been amassing troops and logistics for the Iraq war for almost a year. It's much more likely they'll drag in the Kurds (although after the Americans' latest rip-off of the Kurds... but a sucker isn't a mammoth—he won't die out).
