Yet another war crime by the zionist regime, but this does serve as strong confirmation that Iran still doesn't have dominance/control of their airspace and puts more doubt in my mind on the claims of shooting down f-35s. Most likely I feel the zionists have pretty good ability to operate and bomb what they want in Iran while Iran has some ability to hit back with whatever stock of advanced missiles they have that can bypass defenses of the zionists. Most likely Iran doesn't have enough of an arsenal to actually really meaningfully degrade the zionist military and is mostly doing a combination of show strikes to intimidate and frighten the zionists who are used to their interceptors mostly working and hitting actual vital infrastructure in response to the zionists doing the same. But I don't believe they actually have enough stock to severely damage the zionist military machine via extensive targeted strikes or say hit the zionists with a constant barrage of strikes.

What this means is when the US enters the picture they won't be able to do a damn thing other than inflict some pain on the gulf states for a while that will yes hurt global oil markets and gas prices for a while, maybe 6-12 months but that isn't the end-all-be-all if Iran is defeated. If Iran is defeated the US will have guaranteed great oil prices going forward for decades while China will be in extreme danger of very bad oil prices if not outright being denied oil in compliance with planned future US sanctions as part of an isolate, blockade, encircle, and destroy plot by the US. And China being wholly reliant on Russia who is a fair-weather friend is not good and Russia can mainly supply nat-gas anyways and if China has no other sources the prices will be increased a bit.

I think the plan is more decapitating strikes, they have assets either witting or simply fools who they can manipulate who they want to be in power in Iran after they kill off those above them. They killed off the IRGC intelligence head for a reason. If you can kill people like that and the head of the IRGC and 14 nuclear scientists it shows you can kill whoever you want and that you are methodically working your way through a chart of heads of leadership until you have eliminated enough to destabilize and plunge your target into chaos (same as Hezbollah) and at that point they throw in ISIS fighters, MEK, other groups that are western proxies and you use them and more smuggled drones for assassinations until the government has effectively collapsed or been taken over by one of your guys.

I don't think they'd be doing this and certainly the US won't join if they don't have a concrete plan for removing the current government entirely or mostly and having a more pliant one arise. Most likely the zionist intelligence penetration is as I've said before to an extreme level. They've hacked everything plus have human-int assets that means they know where all of the important figures are at least some of the time if not possibly most of the time and can kill them at their leisure.

In other words things could get very bad shortly. I hope the leadership does move to very, very, very deep bunkers like those their nuclear facilities are in and that they have good hardlines for command and control out of those which are buried DEEP as well.
