Iran Crisis & the 2026 War between Iran and the United States, Gulf States, and Israel - Please focus on news and coverage, not argumentation.

I've always wondered about the feasibility of a suitcase nuke because it's a completely different thing than a raped suicide bomber with a barrel of TNT in their ass. An actual suitcase nuke is theoretically possible but highly infeasible because the technological difficulty in building one makes it a pointless endeavor to pursue.

A 'dirty bomb' is not a nuclear weapon. It's a conventional weapon with radioactive materials. It would cause a huge explosion and the radiation emitted would make it deadlier than the conventional munitions alone but the amount of damage it can actually do is far below a nuclear warhead. Dirty bombs are possible but luckily, no one's attempted to detonate one yet so it's still theoretical speculation at this point.
suitcase nukes are possible, both america and russia developed some during the cold war
america also had nuclear warheads small enough to fit in an artillery shell, those would be light enough to be carried around by a man with a backpack
 
Trump needs to threaten Europe too. tell Macaron he's a cuck and his wives a troon. Also he needs to call Starmer a little bitch boy, and the cherry on top is when he tells Zelensky he's a pigroach beggar like DSP
It's clear now that he honestly was hoping Europe would grow some balls and help patrol the Strait since it's clear Iran's threats have been hollow for the past week.
He really, really wanted to avoid targeting power infrastructure since it would result in civilians getting caught in the middle, but NATO just proved too cowardly to help.
So now we have to do things this way.
 
We'll see. I have doubts that the regime is going to budge. Will Trump follow through? Because that will definitely cause unrest in the country if they hit some of those plants.

I wonder how serious this threat is, or is it simply trying to threaten Iran because sending in the additional ships to actually open the strait by force will take weeks.
Do people really still think that Trump deals in empty threats? Stop listening to the morons who push the TACO meme and pay attention to every time Trump follows through on exactly what he threatens. He wouldn't have been so specific if he didn't intend to do it.
 
After the pedo read a copy of the talmud and decided he could make his own version, the goat fuckers burst forth from the peninsula and colonized everything they could.
Look at this kuffar, he thinks that Mohammad read anything. Muslims are very proud of the fact that Mohammad was illiterate, that fact sometimes makes it into his honorifics. Some Jewish converts probably told him about the Talmud and the Torah. And they probably had to use small words and talk real slow.

Its also a relatively cheap way for them to earn a lot of international goodwill, especially from the USA.
At the start of the war, Zelensky (who had gotten a scholarship to study in Israel as a teenager, but his dad made him stay in Ukraine) had spoken of wanting Ukraine to be a "big Israel". A country with military expertise and equipment that the rest of the west has forgotten or never properly understood but which they maintain because they are always under threat from their far more populous and barbaric cousins next door. Sending over anti-shahid experts is exactly what he was talking about.

I don't believe that at all. The Iranians would know that being the first country to use nukes in a war of aggression would get them shitfucked. Same reason they never initiated an exchange of airstrikes/missiles with Israel. They'd get into deep, deep trouble. Even with nukes, the fact remains that the rest of the world has a lot more firepower than Iran could ever have.
Dude, they wrecked their economy and lost trillions of dollars to get the nuclear capability. You think that they're willing to suffer that much to get nukes in the first place and then just leave the HEU and long-range missiles to rot in silos forever? Even the US with it's infinite defense budget intentionally neutered its own nuclear delivery programs multiple times just to placate the rest of the world and yet somehow Iran just never hit on the bright idea to abandon their nuclear weapons program even though everyone was telling them to?
One explanation I heard was that it was used to have a bargaining chip to exchange for sanction relief.
That's literally retarded.

Casualties of both attacks on Arad and Dimona.
We are so going to have boots on ground and defends our ally the anti-war spergs said so!

Israel has suffered 22 civilian and military casualties since February 28th.
Elon Musk and I have almost a trillion dollars. I bet that every single person celebrating this was wringing their hands together and crying about how evil Israel was for every single death (civilian or not since Hamas never distinguishes between them in the numbers that they always cite) in the Gaza War. What possible military purpose did bombing Arad have?

Yeah insurance companies usually don't like insuring things that are a bad bet.
Bad bets include things where there is not much information

Equal partnership between China Russia, the US and......... wait why is Iran on this list, why are we casually just pretending like they're a major world power now.

It was like when we gave France a permanent seat on the Security Council after WWII​
Question for those far better versed in desert people politics- Why does Lebanon tolerate Israel bombing them on a whim all the fucking time? Does the country not have a unified government or any kind of military to tell them to fuck off or to retaliate?
a) what are they going to do?
b) they don't like Hezbollah either, not only are the opposed to them on a personal level, but they are political rivals.

Imagine you had a coworker you didn't like. This coworker was an asshole, would physically bully you, steal your lunch from the fridge, oh, and accidentally set off the third largest non-military, man-made explosion in history in your capital city. Worse yet, they keep on trying to take your corner office (plus you know that he's a plant by a rival company)! This coworker also keeps on committing crimes in your office, leading to many unnecessary confrontations with the cops. You are firmly ACAB and tried to impede them from arresting him, but the last time the cops kicked your ass and took him in anyway. Now the SWAT team is kicking down your door, are you going to step in to defend this turbulent coworker, or are you going to secretly hope that they take him away forever?

Oh man. I want one to go with my 10 trillion zimbabwe dollar bill.
I imagine that there will be a lot less of these printed

We didn't keep them in suitcases, but the US did create tactical nukes that were small enough for one person to carry in a small duffel bag in the 50s. Under 100 lbs.

Obviously the yield wasn't amazing (about a kiloton), but more than enough to cause absolute chaos in a city. Of course, the technology (now 70 years old) is far outside the capability of any shithole country.
 
So disappointing but not surprised how cucked EU countries are. Alot of the disturbances that happens in EU is sponsored by Iran backed terrorist groups. Every time it's Christmas some sand nigger runs it down with a car in Germany, or stabbings in UK etc. For fucks sake the western world have been at conflict with Iran for decades. In the past when Obama drone striked the shit out of middle East and toppled a regime he got back up from EU. But since they don't like Trump they would rather be passive and raped by terrorists. I get it, Trump can be rude and autistic as fuck but these cowardly inbred EU leaders are making me mati. I for one hope USA and Israel wins this shit (and personally I don't like Israel) but compared to Iran, they ARE gods chosen people. Also want to thank the people that share news and such in the thread. But I will say one "positive" thing about this, the AI slop Iran produces is fucking hysterical. Jeet level of self awareness.

As @Jet Fuel Johnny said back when this all kicked off, it's a point of pride for Trump.
He demanded that the regime not kill the protestors, and they didn't listen. After that, he started massing forces on their border.
He'll do it because he said he'll do it. That's just how his ego operates.
 
At this point, he just needs to communicate to the Iranian people that their regime has put them all in a no-win scenario where there are going to be unfortunate casualties no matter what.
At least with Trump, they have a chance of being able to take down their foreign occupiers before their occupiers kill them all anyway.
Agree on that but Civilian uprising seems like it's going to be happening soon if that tweet spreads around. Wonder if we will get kino footage that isn't shit.
And how do you suppose that message is going around when the internet has been disabled since the start of the war?

The suitcase nuke is possible because as you state, Russia and America developed warheads that could fit in small spaces like a large suitcase but to go from that to what people are meaning when they say "suitcase nuke" is a stretch. The only countries that could pursue would have to be nuclear superpowers already and dedicating the money and time necessary to build it isn't worth when you already have ICBMs. It's not impossible. America or China could possibly build one but why?
 
Europeans are cucks say it as it is. I have more respect for Canada then I do for all of Europe.
Canada are cucks, but they are our cucks. I remember in those cope videos some Euro mil bloggers put out about how a unified Europe and Canada could totally take on the USA over Greenland. As if Canada wouldn't immediately curl up in the fetal position if the USA and Europe inexplicably decided to throw down.
