Changing Tactics: Iran Strikes Four Countries for More Than 11 Hours

Iran appears to have abandoned retaliatory strikes and switched to systematic attacks on targets in the region, which have been ongoing for over 11 hours. On the morning of July 18, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced strikes on targets in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain.

According to Iranian media, missiles The Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, where American troops are stationed, and the Prince Sultan Air Force Base in Saudi Arabia were hit. Warehouses were also hit. weapons and transport hubs in Kuwait and facilities in Bahrain.

At the same time, the IRGC announced a combined missile and drone operation in the Strait of Hormuz, which resulted in the interception of four ships. Iran also claimed that two oil tankers had been sunk by mines, blaming the United States. US Central Command denied this information.

US military forces continue to strike Iranian territory. According to US Central Command, the strikes have hit observation posts, military logistics infrastructure, underground arsenals, and Iranian naval assets.
Against this backdrop, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has virtually ground to a halt. On July 16, only eight vessels passed through—the lowest number in three weeks.

What can I say? When a country's leadership has a steel core forged from national interests, such a country is not so easily broken.

So they don't have Jews to rule.
And they don't give iPhones to terrorists. The power structure is national, as is the vertical of power, which is subject to change.

Hello, Russian is a very difficult language. I'm telling you this as a former C student.
Be lenient
As for the article itself, there are discrepancies between the actions of Iran and the actions of the Russian leadership.

It's okay, Gregory!
Excellent, Konstantin!
It would be great to give the park to the Zionists, as a misunderstanding on Palestinian land, and then transfer the flames to the territory of the instigators of all wars - the striped aggressors-terrorists, so that Los Angeles 2025 will continue indefinitely.
Victory to the Iranian people in the war against the Zionists and vile terrorist aggressors.

Here, in addition to the steel core, we must also add the fact that the political elite does not have foreign accounts, houses, etc. And their children do not live in Europe.

[Alexander Sl]

Our guy probably flew to Iran to have a steel implant implanted in him, otherwise he's some kind of softie, he's brought into a fight, but he doesn't know how to hit. (That's the experience of being beaten in the back alleys of St. Petersburg.)

[Alexander Odintsov]

Uranus teaches us about war and public administration in general. But we have our own excellent example. The Great Patriotic War lasted 3 years, 10 months, and 18 days; the Central Military District has already lasted 4.4 years. The war will continue indefinitely, accompanied by effective TV shows of us "wiping out" the enemy. Meanwhile, in a shorter period, the USSR defeated the most powerful fascist army, which had all of Europe working for it, while we can't even completely liberate Donbas. The main thing: Stalin's elite had no money abroad, the USSR didn't suffer from a "split personality," and enjoyed 100% sovereignty. The ongoing "slow-motion" raids on our rear areas, including oil refineries, are designed to make us accept the game on the scoreboard, no matter the score.

[rs777]

That's not our case. The Kremlin's, instead of a steel core, only have stinking brown lines for partners and clamps for slaves.

[Zaurbek]

At our MO's location, throw in something and give instructions to the necessary targets.

[Metallurg_2]

No way. The stench of Anchorage doesn't allow it.

[Vadim Topal Pasha]

The most interesting thing will be when Rosneft unofficially gives the Houthis at least Club, if Kalibr is useless! Didn't they promise to block the Bab el-Mandeb Strait? And they'll follow through. And as a result, oil will be over $200 a barrel and Rosneft will be at 650 rubles a share.

Military anti-tank missiles are no longer required. There are Gerani missiles of various types.
Now the CU is more important

[Vadim Topal Pasha]

Why does an anti-ship missile need target designation? The main thing is for it to get within the ship's radar detection range. After that, it's smart enough! In fact, in Soviet times, target designation could be performed by one anti-ship missile in a swarm, which would rise higher and guide the others. And if it was shot down, another would rise higher.

[Zaurbek]

This anti-ship missile (ASCM) targets a satellite (Liana, I think). And then, yes, flight to the target, radar activation, etc. China is developing ballistic missiles with anti-ship warheads.

[Vadim Topal Pasha]

The strait is quite narrow. You can set up "scows full of feces" and communicate with the shore using flags and flashlights. Then there's landline communication. Even with the horrendous delays caused by such communication, it's still possible to determine the target's location when the anti-ship missile approaches, if you know the target's speed and its direction—north or south. I could have easily solved this problem on a piece of paper with a pen and paper at the end of the second grade of a very average Soviet school! :)

[Zaurbek]

Well, who studied what? I think they'll figure it out.

[Vadim Topal Pasha]

And even if they don’t figure it out, someone (from those who read Genius /modestly blushes/ :) ) will tell them! :))))

[tim630]

They won't give it a try. They're worried about their foreign accounts, not Russia's well-being.

[Vadim Topal Pasha]

Did you read it carefully? I'm talking unofficially! They'll trade a bankrupt gas station they stole to a rear-echelon general's cousin or a CLB manufacturer, and barter their way to an increased supply of CLBs for the official buyer. And then the trail goes cold! That same official buyer can write it off as expenses for training exercises. And then, if things get really tough, someone else can be held responsible.

[Metallurg_2]

Israeli desalination plants need to be targeted. When the Zionofascists start fighting each other over a glass of fresh water, then we can talk to them.

[knn54]

-We need to hit Israeli desalination plants.
Michael, they are Persians, not Jews.

[Zaurbek]

If we were Iran, we wouldn't even touch the capital and would just target Haifa. There's a ton of stuff there. A port, petrochemicals, and desalination plants.
They wrote that a tank fleet arrived in Israel today. They could also use cluster munitions to deter anyone from flying.

[Victor Alien]

A tank fleet has arrived - what kind of monster is this?! Write it in a normal way - tanker planes.

[Incvizitor]

It's useless to talk to them, they're rabid dogs.

[the same doctor]

They're going to die anyway, so they might as well sell their lives for what they're worth. And who knows? Maybe the Americans will crack! If we show tolerance and transparency, they'll definitely end up hanging.

[Essex62]

The striped ones are probably lying about the destruction of the underground arsenals. The retaliatory strike keeps coming, escalating.

[LaraM]

So this is what you're like, TMV. I couldn't believe it would even start.

[tim630]

It, the TMV, has been going on for a long time. And it's not a military war, but a struggle for energy resources and spheres of influence... Like in that joke, will there be a third world war?
- No, but there will be such a fight for peace that no stone will be left standing.

[isv000]

The US Central Command denied this information.

What's interesting is - will the Yankees flee the BV on their own if they are released, or are the Persians aiming to completely clear the region of this crap, while also changing the colors of their "allies"?

[tim630]

It'll probably be like Afghanistan; they won't know how to escape. I'm talking about the Americans, because the USSR left Afghanistan in columns with battle flags unfurled. And in Afghanistan, people still remember the USSR only fondly.

[isv000]

Quote: tim630

And in Afghanistan, people still remember the USSR only positively.

The mujahideen remember our fighters and commanders with great respect, civilians thank them for the infrastructure they left behind and curse the Yankees...

And Russian soldiers fight and sacrifice themselves for the sake of the common people, regardless of their nationality, because dictators come and go, but the people remain.

The Pak people have an agreement with the Saudis, but they are in no hurry to aggravate relations with Iran - just like the stillborn CSTO.

[Severok]

This is the case when, looking at the Persians, one feels ashamed of the leadership of Russia, which is bound by nepotism and mutual responsibility in power.

[tim630]

Your words yes to God in your ears!

[Andrey Andreev_2]

Give Iran proper anti-ship missiles, let them sink ships with strike groups... And it's time to suppress our own weapons production facilities located in Europe!! We should ask Iran's leaders for a loan, so they can show us who's boss in Eurasia!!
