Official Israel Vs. Iran 2025 thread: First post updates! US, Israel attacks set Iran back months at best. Ceasefire in effect. Everybody wins(?)

The talk about Israeli intelligence is also funny to me.

Academically on Reading/Math/Science scores they are nearly the EXACT same as Hispanic Americans on average.

Bet folks didn’t know that. Look at international scores, they’re usually around #40. Cats be living off of Einstein, Feynman and a handful of scientists reputation from the mid 1900’s.

Science and technology in Israel is one of the country's most developed sectors. Israel spent 4.3% of its gross domestic product (GDP) on civil research and development in 2015, the highest ratio in the world.[1] In 2019, Israel was ranked the world's fifth most innovative country by the Bloomberg Innovation Index.[2] It ranks thirteenth in the world for scientific output as measured by the number of scientific publications per million citizens.[3] In 2014, Israel's share of scientific articles published worldwide (0.9%) was nine times higher than its share of the global population (0.1%).

Israel still has "targets to strike" in Iran, IDF chief of staff says​

From CNN’s Dana Karni and Catherine Nicholls
Israel still has “targets to strike” in Iran and is prepared to continue its attacks on the country for “as long as necessary,” the Israeli military’s chief of staff said on Sunday.

“We still have targets to strike and objectives to complete,” Eyal Zamir said in a situational assessment, according to a statement released by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). “We continue to increase the rate of our strikes in accordance with the operational plan, and we are prepared to continue for as long as necessary.”

Zamir praised the United States’ strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities on Sunday morning, saying they were “made possible thanks to the courageous leadership of our American partners.”

The strikes represent a “turning point” in Israel’s Rising Lion campaign, which started last week, he said.

“The IDF has demonstrated its determination and capabilities – anyone who tries to challenge us will pay a heavy price. We will not compromise on the security of the civilians of the State of Israel,” Zamir added.

China isn’t invading Taiwan. What would China gain from capturing Taiwan that would offset global economic collapse?

Sir once upon a time I was in the Navy, so I might have a little familiarity with the fleets. What China would gain is getting America away from that specific geographic region near China. America would still be in South Korea and Japan, but China would buy more space.

@Kokoro It's actually surprisingly easy to go to Australia. Their University system is almost identical to the American one so a bunch of credentials ranging from dental, to medical, to engineering, to nursing, etc have direct parallels out there. Same with New Zealand.


Crazy thing is they earn more than Americans. And they have a higher quality of life because social systems are more robust in oceana. It kind of reminds me of an alternate America where Republicans don't exist.

I need to get a degree and get it over with

A lot of that is with the help of American brainpower. You think they doing all of that on their own in 2025 without our research power, scientific findings, engineering and foundation?

A lot of countries would and have killed to have a fraction of the same uninterrupted resources.

I’m also not Middle Eastern either, I can honestly care less about Israel and Iran (I actually have Ashkenazi Jews and Muslim ME’s in my family). I care about American tax dollars the most and another war is dumb.

US is engaged in a 'Special Military Operation'

Reminds you of Russia doesn't it? It's almost hilarious how we can make fun of Putin for biting off more than he can chew and lying about it in Ukraine ; then turn around and imitate him 2 years later

I love exposing cacs like @the cac mamba

He’s getting heated because he is essentially anti American, by tacitly supporting the violation of the Constitution by Trump.

A man who tried to overthrow the US government on January 6th!

WELKER: Is the United States now at war with Iran?

JD VANCE: No. We're not at war with Iran. We're at war with Iran's nuclear program.

War is defined as a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state.

@SleuthyFella
Engaging in a military action against a country's nuclear weapons program, such as attacking a facility, could be considered an act of war, even without a formal declaration of war.

Still doesn’t explain how China would accomplish the largest amphibious invasion in history. Never mind having to contend with the US pacific command they would also be fighting the Japan who has a near peer navy on their own

Japan's Navy Is a Lot More Powerful Than You Realize

Key point: Japan may have an aging population problem, but its navy is highly-advanced. In fact, Tokyo still arguably could give Beijing’s navy a run for its money… maybe. The best navy in Asia has a total of 114 warships and 45,800 volunteer personnel. It has a large fleet of fast, powerful...

China, the world’s largest oil importer, has become highly dependent on Gulf oil, which accounted for over 50 percent of China’s imports in the first quarter of 2022. In 2021, China imported a staggering $128 billion worth of crude oil from countries in the Gulf near the Strait of Hormuz, three times more than the United States and European Union (EU) combined.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration has estimated that 76 percent of the crude oil and condensatethat passed through the strait in 2018 went to Asian markets. China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore were the main destinations, accounting for 65 percent of all oil shipped through the strait that year. In contrast, the United States imported around 1.4 mbpd of oil through the Strait of Hormuz in 2018, accounting for about 18 percent of total U.S. crude oil imports.

Why China Is Emerging as a Main Promoter of Stability in the Strait of Hormuz

Because of its reliance on the Gulf region for much of its oil and gas, China has a strong interest in preserving security in the region, an early example of which was its mediation of the recent Saudi Arabia-Iran reconciliation.

China relies more on the strait than we do. It’s be like shooting themselves in the head twice.
