๐Ÿšจ The Zainabiyoun Brigade, founded by Hajj Qassem Soleimani and comprised of thousands of Pakistani fighters, issued a statement announcing its full support for Iran and its readiness to engage in the war against "israeli" and American interests in the region.

"Your blood is our blood. Our hearts, souls, and minds stand with you. Know that the people of Pakistan stand shoulder to shoulder with you."

The Zainabiyoun Brigade threatenedโ€”mirroring positions from Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon, and Iranโ€”that if America enters this war, or if Sayyed Ali Khamenei is harmed, their fighters will target American interests worldwide, especially in the Middle East and Pakistan, in armed operations.

"Signed in our blood, the soldiers of Hajj Qassem Soleimani."

Iran's letter to the Security Council and the complaint against Grossi

๐Ÿ”น The Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations has sent a letter to the UN Secretary-General and the President of the Security Council, complaining about Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), for his approach towards Iran's peaceful nuclear activities.

๐Ÿ”น Iran's representative to the UN stressed: Such a failure to assume responsibility and the absence of condemnation constitutes a violation of the Agency's obligations to protect the integrity of its own monitoring system, and weakens the fundamental principles of the global nuclear non-proliferation regime.

According to Bren, โ€œIsrael is the only democratic nation in the world that has enemies who desire its kinetic destruction, who have cybernetic abilities, and who combine these two together into a single operational idea. These enemies are called Iran and Hezbollah.โ€

Reports on Iranian state TV: This was has only just begun

[โ€“] i_c_b_m@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 month ago

Seeing a number of rumors that Israel is asking to end the war, to which Iran has reportedly said "the time has not yet come".

Russia and Iran are currently holding talks, there's no information on what's being discussed. There are rumors that there will be big changes to regional security. Getting Russian AD systems would be a good idea, but this might even be much bigger. We'll see.

Somewhat off topic, but may have bearing on the situation in Iran, is that Russia is bombing Kiev pretty hard right now. The Iran situation has shifted the spotlight. There are peace talks between Russia and Ukraine scheduled for for the 26th IIRC. Zelenskyy seems to want to continue escalating, I guess for more favorable concessions? Doesn't seem to be a good idea. Russia caught some saboteurs trying to blow up a missile depot or something inside Russia. Zelenskyy is a bad investment for foreign capital, Ukraine will not be able pay it's debt in soil, so his recent begging tours are turning up nothing. Thar regime is likely to be at it's end soon and may result in total annexation if an agreement of neutrality is not reached. Russia being able to spare more of its MIB output could help douse some of the fires the US keeps starting.

โ€” ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท/๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ How's the situation of Iran's ballistic missile program?

Israel claims it has now destroyed two thirds of Iran's TEL launchers capable of launching ballistic missiles towards Israel. They say this is the reason Iran has been firing less missiles on a daily basis compared to at the start.

However, in reality this likely isn't the case. We have actually seen less than 10 TEL launchers visuably confirmed to be destroyed. But then why is Iran seemingly 'unable' to launch large misile salvos at once?

Iran has a vast network of underground missile bases spread all throughout the country, with the main ones being located in Western Iran, near Tabriz, Khorammabad, and Kermanshah. These sites are located deep underground, and are practically invulnerable to conventional Israeli strikes.

However, in the opening strike on Friday, Israel managed to target some of these bases and collapse their tunnel entrances. It will take Iran days to remove the rubble and reopen the entrances, and even then, they will be vulnerable to repeated attacks due to Israeli air superiority in the West.

The majority of missiles being launched at Israel currently are originating from Central and Eastern Iran, places like Shiraz, Shahrud, or even Mashhad. This is because Israeli air superiority is much less consolidated in these areas.

However, even with the worst case scenario of only 100-200 TELs left, Iran should be able to carry out a large coordinated missile strike. So why don't they?

Carrying out a large-scale coordinated missile strike requires planning and staging. In the staging phase, launchers are taken out of their bases and prepared for launch. In areas where Israel has sufficient air superiority, they can quickly detect these launchers and preemptively strike them, potentially risking high losses.

This is why Iran is currently only using 1-2 missile bases at a time. They are carrying out 'hit-and-run' tactics: Take out 20-30 launchers, fire, and immediately withdraw back into the tunnels to avoid any losses.

When Iran feels more confident about its ability to launch large and coordinated attacks, they will do so. Because they have not run out of missiles and launchers, and won't anytime soon. But the situation at Iran's Western missile bases must first be addressed in order to proceed with this.

Over all, the vast majority of Iran's missile bases are fully intact, with the notable exception of possibly Tabriz, which we saw footage of large secondary explosions, implying that the underground structure was hit. For most of Iran's 'damaged' missile bases, it's simply a matter of time โ€” removing the rubble from the entrance tunnels and getting back to work.

When Israel's defense systems start becoming significantly degraded, which we will likely see in the coming days, Iran will probably launch larger attacks with its less sophisticated missiles with bigger warheads. Using those now would be a waste.

Head of Israelโ€™s National Security Council: โ€œWe have not made regime change in Tehran an official goal โ€” but we hope it will be the outcome.โ€

All the israeli psyops and other statements seem to indicate the contrary, that does seem to be the objective. Won't happen, but that won't stop the zios from risking nuclear war.
