Israelis obviously tried to inflict maximum damage on all aspects of
industrial work in Iran, not just nuclear ones. They have the mandate to
break Iran's independence. So far, they've not been successful, and
their efforts have indeed backfired cause Iran now knows first hand
S-300 type air defense is useless. It is obsolete. Iran has developed
better systems than S-300s too, which could shoot down a few F-35s, but
that also proved not to do the job good enough. Many industries in Iran
got hit with bombs carried and released by Israeli and American
aircraft. So Iran is now going for something better!

A Chinese war expert had an interesting little article published about
it. He said something along this: "Iran needs to get rid of s-300 models
and think in terms of multiple systems that work together, if she wishes
to defend herself against Israeli and American air power."

Then he went into explaining just what these various systems that work
together are, and why they are essential to have in addition to a good
sized fleet of jet fighters. But the funny thing about them all was that
every system he talked about was a Chinese developed system :) So right
there one doesn't really know if he was being a salesman or an "expert."
Regardless, there's no doubt that Iran must upgrade from the ancient
S-300 system.


The Leader showed up for Moharram's most sensitive day for Shi'ites for
the first time since beginning of the war. Many thought he wouldn't dare
the risk. Some Israeli outlets were saying he isn't even in Tehran and
is ready to fly to Russia from elsewhere in Iran. Hehe :) Usual
bullshit. Some thought he was dead too.

But most importantly, regarding a response to a few known figures in
Iran asking him to revise his fatwa about having nukes, he only had this
to say:

    "I stand under the flag of Abolfathl Lel Abbas (one of Hoseyn's men
who got martyred with him - extremely liked and respected by Iranians).
I will not go under any other flag."

So, in his heart, Iran and Iranians come second in place for him. That's
the problem with having a cleric at such a powerful position.

Iran will have to think for herself independently! Will she? .. Has She?
You bet she has.

So let him be as he wants. Let him live and die under the flag of Abbas.
Not a bad place to be at all, but Iranians need to stay alive first to
continue Abbas's fight.
