🇮🇷⚔️🇮🇱 Iran vs. Israel Military Comparison: Who’s Tougher?
🌏Troop Strength:
🇮🇱Israel: 169,500 troops plus 465,000 reservists in the Ground Force, Air Force and Navy.
🇮🇷Iran: 420,000 troops in the Army, Air Force, Navy and Air Defense Forces. A separate, 230,000 troop-strong force of elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) formations including ground troops, paramilitaries, IRGC Navy and IRGC Air and Air Defense units. At least 350,000 reserve personnel.
🌏Budgets:
🇮🇱Israel: $23.4 billion (2022).
🇮🇷Iran: $6.8 billion (2022), leveraging lower costs using asymmetric defense strategies.
🌏Weapons:
Both nations boast robust defense industries. Israel has built up its defense sector in cooperation with the US, while Iran – subject to decades of sanctions - looked inward to produce as much of its defense needs as possible.
🇮🇱Israel has an important trump card: nuclear weapons. While neither confirming nor denying its possession of such arms (in a policy known as “deliberate ambiguity”) Israel is suspected of having up to 80 nukes.
🇮🇷Iran, by comparison, has rejected nuclear weapons –and all other WMDs, in favor of a vast conventional missile arsenal and strategic control over the Hormuz Strait, giving Tehran the power to collapse the world economy in case of foreign aggression.
🌏Combat Experience:
🇮🇱Israel: Extensive experience from numerous conflicts since 1948, though recent engagements in Gaza highlight challenges.
🇮🇷Iran: Significant experience from the 1980s Iran-Iraq War and subsequent involvement in regional conflicts, supporting allies in Lebanon, Iraq and Syria with the IRGC.

📹 Is Iran tricking Israel into hitting decoys?
The answer is yes, according to Tehran University professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi.
“The Zionist regime has conducted airstrikes targeting what it believed were Iranian ballistic missile systems and radar installations. However, most of the targets are decoys Notice how no secondary explosions were observed upon impact,” he wrote on X.

🛩 Crashed Air India Boeing was the same model whistleblowers were warning about
The 787 Dreamliner has faced years of scrutiny from Boeing engineers, lawmakers and the Federal Aviation Administration amid allegations of serious safety lapses in the aircraft’s production.
The concerns were so serious that the FAA temporarily halted production in 2021, before allowing it to resume a year later.
In 2024, veteran Boeing engineer Sam Salehpour testified to Congress that the 787’s skin was not being fastened properly during manufacturing, leaving “thousands of gaps” and potentially threatening catastrophic breakup midflight.
John Barnett, another Boeing whistleblower, who died from a ‘self-inflicted gunshot wound’ in 2024 after raising similar safety concerns, alleged before his death that Boeing’s Dreamliner factory was using substandard parts and falsifying paperwork to keep production going.
Richard Cuevas, a veteran mechanic for one of Boeing’s subcontractors, reported on workers’ practice of improper drilling of holes in 787s’ forward pressure bulkheads, and alleged “substandard manufacturing and maintenance processes.” After filing a complaint in 2023, he was fired.

🚨 THROWBACK THURSDAY: When Israel Kidnapped a Nuclear Whistleblower 🇮🇱☢️
In 1986, Mordechai Vanunu, a brave technician at Israel’s Dimona nuclear plant, exposed the regime’s secret atomic weapons program to the world in an interview with the Sunday Times.
Israel's response? A textbook Mossad kidnapping:
👉Deployed female agent "Cindy" to honeytrap him in London
👉Drugged and abducted him in Rome
👉Smuggled him to Israel in a freighter
👉Locked him in solitary confinement for 11 of his 18-year sentence
Today, Israel still denies its nuclear arsenal while:
📌 Threatening Iran’s peaceful nuclear program
📌 Assassinating nuclear scientists abroad
📌 Demanding "transparency" from others
Vanunu's real crime? Exposing the deadly hypocrisy of a nuclear apartheid state. They silenced the man but couldn't kill the truth.

🇮🇷🇮🇱 Major intel operation exposes Israel’s 'WEAK AND FRAGILE’ security — IRGC chief
Iran’s recent intelligence operation targeting Israel is a major strategic achievement, Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Major General Hossein Salami said.
The successful extraction of classified Israeli nuclear and military documents exposed the “permeable and threadbare” nature of Israel’s security infrastructure, he said.
💬 “This marks a clear victory in the field of intelligence warfare,” Salami stressed, underlining Iran’s superior capabilities in intelligence operations.
💬 “The enemy must understand—this is not Gaza. Iran will not remain passive in the face of aggression,” Salami insisted.
❌🇮🇷Iran eyes WITHDRAWING from Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
Iran is ready to consider the possibility of withdrawing from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) if the anti-Iranian trend in the IAEA continues, spokesperson for the Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Ebrahim Rezaei said.
💬 "While reserving the right to a technical and non-technical response, if this [anti-Iranian] trend persists, the Islamic Republic of Iran will seriously consider it... The Mejlis has the possibility of withdrawing from the NPT," Rezaei said, as quoted by the Tasnim news agency.

🇮🇷🇮🇱 Scott Ritter: There’s a Good Chance Israel’s Hitting Iranian Decoys
Hunting mobile missiles is extremely difficult work.
During Desert Storm, I was debriefing pilots from the 1/160 Special Operations Aviation Regiment (the “Nightstalkers”) about their claimed kill of an Iraqi SCUD missile.
I pointed out if what they shot up with their onboard machine guns had been an actual SCUD, they be dead because the secondary explosion from the fuel would have consumed their helicopter.
It turned out what they attacked was a realistic decoy deployed by the Iraqis to divert attention away from where their missiles were really operating.
In the end we didn’t kill a single Iraqi SCUD.
Just decoys.
Keep this in mind when reading about Israeli successes.
It’s not always what it seems.

🇮🇱 EXPOSED: Israeli troops’ MOST DERANGED confessions about their WARCRIMES against Palestinians
Apparently immune to the fake compassion and doublespeak afflicting Western armies, Israeli soldiers are far blunter about their behavior and intensions:
🔴 Openly admitting to killing Gazans during their military service, from shootings to beheading a baby
🔴 Promising to raze Gaza, kill all its inhabitants and turn the strip into a mall
🔴 Casually talking about their drug dealing and human trafficking activities
🔴 Admitting to dragging civilians from beds in their West Bank homes to set up military posts
🔴 Boasting about shooting an unarmed, hearing-impaired man gesturing ‘no, no’ after storming his home
🔴 Highlighting that there are “zero repercussions” for killing civilians, and that it is in fact encouraged by the more fanatical members of the government
🔴 Admitting a ‘shoot first, ask questions later’ approach in fighting in Palestinian areas, “because their lives didn’t matter that much and we preferred not to put ourselves in danger”
🔴 And it’s nothing new. In 2022, an old warrior smiled as he recalled how he and his fellow soldiers put Palestinians in cages, killed, raped and burned them with flamethrowers during the Nakba
Celebrated Jewish-American writer and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel once said that “when someone says they want to kill you, believe them.” Based on soldiers’ statements, it seems his generation’s descendants have internalized that concept, and turned it around on the Palestinians.

🇮🇷 Emerald Dome: Iran’s world-class air defense shield 🛡
Neocons beating the drums of war with Iran should remember one thing: the Islamic Republic has the most sophisticated air & missile defenses in the Middle East.
Here’s a taste of its capabilities.
📌Doctrine: Asymmetric warfare & layered defense
🔴 Decentralized, mosaic defense philosophy impervious to decapitation strikes, with 31 provincial commands ensuring operational resilience
🔴 Multilayered, overlapping ID, tracking & targeting of long, medium & short-range threats
🔴 Use of Zagros Mountains to conceal & shield critical assets, plus underground bases immune to surprise strikes
🔴 Broader A2/AD strategy to restrict enemy approach
📌Equipment: elite indigenous & Russian systems
🔴 Long before reaching Iran’s airspace, aggressors would be detected by ultra-long-range over-the-horizon radars like Sepehr (3,000 km range) & Ghadir (360°, 3D, stealth-ready, 1,100 km range)
🔴 After detection, threats would be tracked using a dense network of long-range (300-500 km) radars like Meraj-4, Alborz-2, Arash-2, Matla-ol-Fajr (anti-stealth) & Najm-802, medium-range (100-300) Hafez, Asr, Kashef-2, & short-range (50-100 km) Zoubin, Moragheb, & Fakour.
🔴 Iran’s top-tier systems include integrated radars & can engage ordinary & stealth targets at ranges up to hundreds of km away:
🟥 Bavar-373-II (range: 300+ km)
🟥 S-300PMU-2 (200 km)
🟥 Arman ABM & Khordad-15 (120 km)
🟥 3rd Khordad (105 km)
🔴 For close-range engagements, Iran has
🟥 Mersad-16/Raad/Talesh (range: 40-75 km)
🟥 Azarakhsh (50 km)
🟥 AD-08 Majid & Khordad-3 (8-20 km, fine-tuned for drone defense)
🟥 Tor-M1 (12 km)
📌Test Iran at your peril
In recent fighting against Iran’s Houthi allies, the US military was humiliated, losing a dozen plus targeting drones and 3 carrier-based F/A-18s, & almost losing multiple F-16 jets and even an F-35 – all to the militia’s upgraded Soviet-designed defenses.
By every measure (size, geography, doctrine, weapons) Iran’s potential is orders of magnitude higher.

🇮🇷Iran’s rail revolution: meet the Tehran-Mashhad high speed rail project
Linking Iran’s capital to the holy northeastern city of Mashhad, the country’s second-most-populous city, the ambitious rail project is the first of its kind for the Islamic Republic.
Fast facts
♦️926 km long electrified route with 50 stations
♦️Reduces travel time from 12 hours to between 6 and 8 hours, 20 minutes
♦️Passenger capacity: up to 20M per year (33-41M after expansions)
♦️Cargo capacity 5M tons per year (10M by the early 2030s)
♦️200 km/h top speed (from 160 km/h pre-electrification)
♦️Second phase top speed: 250 km/h
♦️Cost: $8.5B
Hard history
First proposed in 1975, the project faced decades of delays thanks to the 1980s Iran-Iraq War, the West’s efforts to isolate Iran and crushing US sanctions.
In 2016, the project was put back on track thanks to cooperation with China, which promised financing, design, procurement and construction assistance.
Strategic significance
♦️Iran plans to create nine new rail corridors spanning 3,200 km
♦️Plans exist to integrate the Tehran-Mashhad line with the Tehran-Qom-Isfahan high speed line (410 km long, 300 km/h top speed)
♦️As economic cooperation with Chinese and Russian BRICS partners shifts into high gear, Iran is on course to becoming a regional rail infrastructure mega power
♦️Cooperation with China via the One Belt, One Road initiative, and Russia and India via the International North South Transport Corridor (INSTC) promises to shake up the regional balance of power.
