Is Israel finished?

[Jasin]

Iran is looking like a headless chicken.
No-one around to give orders, make the big decisions.
Not wanting to put their hands up for fear of being the next target.
Is this a new strategy in warfare? To work from the top down?
Imagine if Hitler was the first Nazi casualty, then Rommel, then on down the ranks.

Iran replies to Trump:

Iran’s military vows on Thursday to carry out “crushing” attacks against the United States and Israel after US President Donald Trump threatened to bomb the country into the “Stone Ages” in the coming weeks.

“With trust in Almighty God, this war will continue until your humiliation, disgrace, permanent and certain regret, and surrender,” says the military’s operational command Khatam Al-Anbiya in a statement carried by state TV.

“Await our more crushing, broader and more destructive actions.”

They should sell to EU at higher price.

No deal for Iran.

The whole situation is depressing.

It was proven before that e.g.
in Germany in WW2 -
the Nazis were prepared and accepted that
their whole country would be turned into a smoking pile of rubble
before they gave up and surrendered -

same with the Japs -
almost every city was all rubble before they dropped the A bombs.

Same happened in Gaza -
even after there is nothing left Hamas still hasn't surrendered -
while they live in tunnels like rats.

Iran is the same - even a threat to send them back to the stone age
hasn't changed their minds.

What does it prove? -

it proves that evil people in those countries were prepared to
have everyone of their citizens die rather than surrender.

The US Army's Central Command (CENTCOM) released a video of a US warship broadcasting a blockade of Iran on VHF Channel 16 to ships:

"The United States has declared a formal blockade of Iranian ports and coastal areas. This is a legal action. All vessels are advised to immediately return to port if already departing, and to cease transit to Iran if this is your next port of call. Do not attempt to breach the blockade. Vessels proceeding to or from Iranian ports will be searched and seized. Turn back or prepare to be searched. If you do not comply with this blockade, we will use force. The entire US Navy is ready to enforce these requirements. Over."
