IDF says up to 90% of Iran’s weapons industry could be hit within days

IranScape

Iran btw

And 99% is halfway to 120%!

45 day, 45 points and they’re back in business. You can’t take that to the bank

I don't think Mossad intelligence struggles much with finding those though

Probably not the best phrasing of their title for what they were trying to say

The article literally is about: "we are at 70%, and intend to reach 90% within days".

The big difference between invading Iraq and Iran is the terrain. Iraq is pretty damn flat. Iran has long mountain chains on both sides the US and Israel would invade from. Hard to drive tanks fast through that terrain oh and US tanks are notoriously fuel hungry using over double the fuel of other nations tanks. Hope they can keep the supply convoys safe winding through those mountains. It's not going to be a fast invasion and even if it was Iran is far bigger and harder to occupy than Iraq and Iraq was already a nightmare. This will not be an easy in and out regime change operation it will be a decades long slog with a huge loss of US military lives. I really hope that the US isn't stupid enough to actually do it but I'm not holding much hope at all.

[The ‘Fourth Successor’: Iran’s plan for a long war with the US and Israel | US-Israel war on Iran | Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2026/3/10/the-fourth-successor-how-iran-planned-to-fight-a-long-war-with-the-us-and-israel) >“Mosaic defence” is an Iranian military concept most closely associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), particularly under former commander Mohammad Ali Jafari, who led the force from 2007 to 2019. >The idea is to organise the state’s defensive structure into multiple regional and semi-independent layers instead of concentrating power in a single command chain that could be paralysed by a decapitation strike. >Under this model, the IRGC, the Basij, regular army units, missile forces, naval assets and local command structures form parts of a distributed system. If one part is hit, others keep functioning. If senior leaders are killed, the chain does not collapse. If communications are severed, local units still retain the authority and capacity to act. >The doctrine has two central aims: to make Iran’s command system difficult to dismantle by force, and to make the battlefield itself harder to resolve quickly by turning Iran into a layered arena of regular defence, irregular warfare, local mobilisation and long-term attrition. >That is why Iranian military thinking does not treat war primarily as a contest of firepower. It treats it as a test of endurance.

No everybody is putting their ducks behind Saudi Arabia to keep the middle east under control, it might take another generation though. Iran has no place where Saudi's keep the middle east stable, most of the middle-eastern countries know and are already on board with it. Iran is red duck amongst all of this. It's why nobody cares or is surprised Iran is getting attacked, unless your a western liberal. The middle east cant be stable without the IRGC gone.

And then when everything isn't fixed magically in 4 years, another Republican may win on fixing things.

Forget about it.  That was the rationale with Biden.  Americans are always ready to elect a moron who panders to their prejudices. The rest of the world needs to move on. 

Just for the GOP to hate them and b**** the whole time. Then get elected and do it all over again

It won't happen it will take far more than 4 years to fix even one iota of the damage Trump has wreaked. After those 4 years the US public will be complaining about how things aren't fixed yet and vote the GOP back in who will break things even more. The US will then flip flop between parties for a few decades nothing really getting fixed and things just getting worse. That is if Trump doesn't get the Save America Act passed and can then get his hands on every states voter rolls and then refuse passports to any Dem voter or people he doesn't like and then Dems cannot win.

It's not like the tsa was particularly effective to start with.

> or nuke to oblivion I think people also overestimate what nukes are capable of. There isn't really a point in using nukes in this conflict. If they know where a factory is, they can destroy it with conventional bombs. Dropping a nuke on it wouldn't be much more useful, they can't drop nukes everywhere. If they want to destroy the ability of Iran to build stuff they can attack power plants / oil depots. If they send nukes on civilians it's already game over (same thing for Russia v Ukraine, NKorea in the past, etc.), people won't accept it because nukes can't target precisely and bc it's taboo against non-nuclear states. And you can't kill everyone so it'll create terrorism in the nuked country. When you see how many bombs were dropped on some terrorist groups compared to their size you understand why it's not an option on Iran. It's not "they could do it but don't want to", they just can't do it. The only possible air campaign is to target very specific important places to weaken the military capabilities of Iran. At most it'll include all power plants / oil depots, but they can't do much more and surely IRGC will have ways to fight back. Even if only 10% support IRGC it's still 8m people which produce oil, drones, weapons, and aren't stupid; which is why diplomacy will be required. But I guess diplomacy could work temporarily and fail again later. This war is ~2 years old, Iran attacked Israel twice in 2024, Israel/US attacked Iran twice in 2025 & 2026. It would be optimistic to say that whatever happens if it ends in the next weeks/months, it won't start again in 2027, 2028 etc.
