Isku Iraniin

En nyt käynyt koko ketjua läpi, joten tämä saattaa olla vanha.

James Mattisin lausunto mahdollisesta USA:n ja Iranin välisestä sodasta. (kohta 23:44-24:33)


Toimittaja kysyy pystyykö USA "hoitamaan" Iranin sotilaallisesti, jos tarpeen. Mattis on varma, että sotilaalliselta kannata homma hoituisi. Kun toimittaja alkaa juhlia, että nukkuu nyt yönsä paremmin, huomauttaa Mattis, että sota on lähtökohtaisesti arvaamaton ilmiö. Täten sotilasoperaatio ei suinkaan olisi huoleton homma, tai että siihen voisi lähteä sinnepäin-asenteella. Sota Iranin kanssa olisi Mattisin mukaan kauheaa, ja olisi hirveä katastrofi, jos USA olisi uudessa Lähi-idän sodassa.
 
Viimeksi muokattu:

"During a news conference at the Arak heavy water reactor facility, Behrouz Kamalvandi said that Iran had increased low enriched uranium production fourfold and would exceed the limit of 300 kilograms by June 27, in the latest blow to the nuclear deal agreed between Tehran and world powers in 2015. "
 

The military action under consideration would be an aerial bombardment of an Iranian facility linked to its nuclear program, the officials further claimed.
"The bombing will be massive but will be limited to a specific target," said a Western diplomat.

Ja kas näin kätevästi etukäteis varoitus, ettei Iran luule tulevaa ilmaiskua laajemmaksi operaatioksi.
 
Voisiko joku tarkistaa milloin pystytin Isku Iraniin ketjun susinetissä? Tiedän että tämä on yksi vanhimmista ketjuista mutta en saa päähäni milloin aloitin sen.

Tai joku haluaa että siirtävät jotain materiaalia.
 
Nyt Isku Iraniin oli vihdoin todella lähellä. Trump perui iskun Iranin ilmapuolustusta vastaan viime hetkellä.

Military operation against Iran was set before Trump called it off

A military operation to strike Iran in retaliation for the downing of a US drone was set to begin Thursday night when President Donald Trump called it off, a US official with direct knowledge of the matter told CNN.

The US military targets were a limited set of Iranian radars and missile batteries, said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information. No US weapons had been launched when the decision was made to call it off.
The New York Times first reported the aborted strikes.

The strike had been scheduled for just before dawn on Friday in Iran to minimize the risk to civilians and the Iranian military, and military officials received word shortly after then that the strike was off, at least temporarily, the Times reported.

The United States remains locked in a standoff with Iran, with US military or diplomatic responses having the potential to provoke further escalation from Tehran. Iran's downing of a US drone earlier Thursday has left the President caught between Republicans demanding a response and congressional Democrats warning that Trump -- and the Iran policy hardliners on his national security staff, who welcome the confrontation -- could lose control of the situation and lead the US into war.

Military and diplomatic officials were expecting a strike as late as 7 p.m. ET on Thursday after intense debate among Trump's top national security officials and congressional leaders at the White House, multiple senior administration officials involved in or briefed on the deliberations told the Times.

The Times reports it was not clear whether Trump simply changed his mind or whether his administration pulled back because of strategy or logistics. It was also not clear whether the attacks may still occur.

The reports drew swift reaction from Trump's Democratic rivals.
Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts tweeted that "there is no justification" for escalating tensions with Iran.
"Donald Trump promised to bring our troops home. Instead he has pulled out of a deal that was working and instigated another unnecessary conflict," she wrote. "There is no justification for further escalating this crisis -- we need to step back from the brink of war."
CNN has reached out to the White House for comment.

The strikes would have been Trump's third military action against Middle East targets, according to the Times. Trump has twice struck targets in Syria.
Earlier Thursday, before the Times' report, a senior White House official told CNN that Trump and national security adviser John Bolton were engaged in an ongoing debate about how to handle Iran.

Retired Army Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling, a CNN military analyst, told CNN's Don Lemon Thursday on "CNN Tonight" that disagreement within the administration about whether to attack is not unusual for a White House.
"That's something that occurs at any strategic decision level," Hertling said, "when you're mitigating risk or you're attempting to understand what the risk might be based on the processes of war gaming and determining what your objectives are."

Trump moved to ease tensions with Iran Thursday morning after Tehran downed a US drone near the Persian Gulf, CNN previously reported. He struck a starkly different tone on Iran from Bolton and other senior security aides.

Trump wants to use Iraq to 'watch' Iran. Baghdad says not so fast

We do not want our territory to be a staging post for any hostile action against any of our neighbors, including Iran," Salih said in an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour in London on Tuesday.
"This is definitely not part of the agreement between the Iraqi government and the United States."

Aivan oikein. Hoitakoon operaationsa mereltä käsin.
 
European states will announce a multimillion-euro credit line to ease trade between the EU and Iran in a last-minute and probably doomed effort to persuade Tehran not to take the first step to quit the 2015 nuclear deal.

Iran’s withdrawal is almost certain to deepen the Gulf crisis, and prompt US demands for Europe states – primarily Britain, France and Germany – to quit the deal and join Washington in imposing sanctions on Tehran.

The relatively modest credit line will be announced in Vienna at a meeting of the joint commission for the Iran deal – the grouping of all the remaining parties to the deal including Europe, Iran, Russia and China.

Mikähän tuon merijalkaväen taisteluosaston tehtävä alueella on? Kun eivät ainakaan taatusti tee mitään maihinnousua Iraniin.

Eikös ne yleisesti oo suojaamassa lähetystöjen evakuointeja tai hakemassa kansalaisia pois tukalista paikoista.
