Those celebrating in the streets when the Iranian public heard their leader was dead?
Those 96 million??
It's delusional to think the Iranian public will take up arms when the military infrastructure is knocked out.
Are you still salivating on images of Arafat handing out guns to any Tom, Dick or Harry who had delusional dreams of driving Israel into the sea?

Save Israel? lol, Israel have long since shown their ability to save themselves. Yes, with US hardware support, but they have proven capability to defend themselves.

People think America serves Israel. On the surface it does, but Israel plays a very important role for America in the region.
Israel is the main ally of the US in the Middle East, maintaining a very important balance of power.
But just as importantly, Israel keeps America's adversaries in that region busy and preoccupied

Iran missile and drone launches sharply reduced

Caine said Iranian missile and drone launches had fallen sharply since the start of the conflict.

“Iran’s theater ballistic missile shots fired are down 86% from the first day of fighting, with a 23% decrease just in the last 24 hours,” he said.

He added that Iran’s one-way attack drone launches have dropped by 73% from the opening days of the campaign.

I think along the same lines. They are a crazy bunch and when cornered, who knows what they may do.
I'm not sure about this but I think every time they use a mobile launcher, they give their location away and then boom it goes. Also, an empty mobile launcher, most likely heads somewhere to reload and that gives away the missile depot's location.

Again, I'm not sure if some of their missiles are shot from silos but if they are, there maybe a pattern of their distribution that can be discerned, For example, maybe they are stationed along the ridge of mountain or at the bottom a valley relatively close to each other. There are loitering drones that maybe looking exactly for such a thing.

At the end of the day, they are not going to have endless missiles or platforms to fire them with. Additionally, the crew required to operate them, aren't going to be able to survive near their missiles for weeks and weeks.
They have satellites that they use to guide their missiles. After the 12 day war, they stopped using GPS and switched to their own satellite navigation system. I wonder if the signals from those satellites can be blocked or jammed.

They have also been working for years to make their own closed internet network. They call it the public net or something like that. I had heard that they were ready to roll it out any day just before the attacks. Maybe they are using it for their own communications. I wonder if that system is in use, it can be tapped into by US to eavesdrop or to even pinpoint the location of the users.

Anyways, I think their regime is solvable by US and it's allies that are getting larger and larger in numbers. That regime is done, it's just a matter of time.

ai response to the article, if israel are acknowledging its true then given they would rather it wasnt suggests it probably is..
The statement aligns with the exact phrasing in your query and has been echoed in live updates from outlets like The Times of Israel (citing AFP), WION, Economic Times, and others as of March 4, 2026.
Note: While Iran claims full control and has acted to deter/attack transits, the strait isn't physically "closed" like a gate—it's enforced through military threats and incidents, leading to most commercial traffic avoiding it. US/coalition responses aim to challenge or mitigate this. The situation remains highly fluid in the ongoing war.

Iran’s IRGC say they have ‘complete control’ over Strait of Hormuz
By AFP
Today, 7:08 am
Share

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps say they control the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route for oil and gas, and any vessels seeking to pass through the waterway risk damage from missiles or stray drones.

“Currently, the Strait of Hormuz is under the complete control of the Islamic Republic’s Navy,” says IRGC Navy official Mohammad Akbarzadeh in a statement issued on Fars news agency.

US President Donald Trump said yesterday the US Navy was ready to escort oil tankers through the crucial Gulf shipping route.

Let's hope/pray it never comes to that and that there's a quick resolution.

This guy seems to hang out with the worst people and when it becomes obvious, he jumps ship.

He was Alex jones partner or whatever, and jones is 100% a psyop, not new, but an old psyop.

drumpf is also a psyop, especially after the first term - operation warp speed, killing soleimani, refusing to fix tensions with North Korea, broke JCPOA with Iran - the list goes on....

Shroyer is a grifter, he is this "murika first" now because its popular, but he will take you to the river and bring you back thirsty.
