Iran claims that the recent show of force by the United States, which included flights by strategic bombers and deployment of aircraft carriers, demonstrate that Washington is fearful of the Iranian military might.

“Flights by two American B-52 bombers over the region and their return [to their home bases] does not bear considerable operational value,” Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri said on January 18.

“The set of actions which they [the US] have called a display of power, indicates that they are fearful and in awe of the Islamic Republic’s defensive might,” Baqeri said. 

Meanwhile, Iran continued showcasing its own forces by conducting large-scale drills in the region of the Persian Gulf.

On January 19, the Iranian Army’s Ground Force launched a new drill codenamed Eqtedar (Strength) 99, The drill is taking place on the southeastern Makran coast. The drill includes airborne brigades, special forces and rapid reaction units, which are being supported by the Army’s Air Force and Aviation Unit.

general baqeri has been an IRGC officer in the past ,therefore such quotes from him are expected i guess.

The Objective

“The set of actions which they [the US] have called a display of power, indicates that they are fearful and in awe of the Islamic Republic’s defensive might,” You forgot that they killed your boss not long ago. That doesn’t look like the actions of people afraid of your might. It’s actually the other way round. That’s why you refused to fight no matter how much they humiliated you.

Lamumba

He was killed by a drone, with the operator sitting thousands of kilometers away. Very ‘manly’. Next time they want to murder another Iranian, ask you pussy heroes to face the Iranians ‘man-to-man’. They won’t as they are exactly like the zionazis – attack much weaker adversaries. It’s the Russian, Chinese and Iranian century.

Fog of War

” ask you pussy heroes to face the Iranians ‘man-to-man’. ”

This isnt the 18th century , man to man and personal honor went out the window a long time ago. Are the Houthis and Taliban cowards for using ied’s ?

The Objective

If drone warfare is cowardly, why has Iran amassed thousands of combat drones? I think they should also take out one American general with a drone as payback. What do you think?

I bet a serious nutcase is only missed by the jew parasites in palestine – the best is yet to coem and that is by tmrw, the idiot, the double or triple idiot is gone and there is no way he will ever stand for office again. on the other hand, soon hitler-copy netayahu won’t either sinnce he will be in prison and so on.

This poor CIA Wahhabi troll is a paid US shill and is a laughing stock on every site. He is triggered by Iran lol

Worse than that, he probably does it probono, his hate has become quite visceral over the years at this stage. The man’s utterly lost in God knows what kind of misguided ressemblance of a rationale and he’s literally suffering of the absence of a coming reckoning for 80 million people, it really is a pity to witness.

gryzor84

Funniest of all would be that it is coming out of the mouth of a self-proclaimed “good Muslim”.

After all when plain hate replaces your integrity , that’s the kind of surreal stances that develop. Alliances of convenience materialize and preempt one’s both intelligence and intellectual honesty. A phenomenon that can make a devout Muslim openly state that he’ll miss a fraud, racist, hateful, ignorant, pathological narcissist that has made Islamophobia and Zionism the principal creed of his reign and directly responsible for the death and suffering of millions of people, including millions of Muslims, via the destruction of Syria, the genocide of Yemen, and the de-facto annexation of Palestinians on top of their defunct hopes of a state. Not to mention institutionalized harassment, stigmatization, humiliation, and alienation of American Muslims on US soil.

Indeed quite a great man that the world is about to lose, an exquisite individual to be missed very much. The whole planet itself will actually miss his total contempt for nature and ecosystems, his unilateral withdrawal from the Paris Accord, another great step for Mankind. His go will also be mourned for not adding the genocide of Iranians to his list of accomplishments, and namely make the “objective’s ” most selfless dream to come true, him who sees the Truth that we mortals have been missing all along : The need for Persians to die in suffering in order for the House of Saud to have a chance to shine even more of their greatness over neighboring countries.

Yeah, a lot will be missed with his departure and possibly trip to some long overdue courts , I understand him. Times ahead will be less chaotic, countries more prone to dialog and coexistence. Such a terrible fate awaits the world’s most unstable region now that its main protector is gone ! Go and hide, Hell is coming upon us ! xD

The Objective

Keep hoping pal. I think you are the idiot here if you think Iran’s headache ends with Trump. It is the U.S deep state that Iran has to worry about. An overwhelming majority of American (87% to be precise) see Iran as an evil country. Trump did not lose election because of Iran, but because of Covid-19.

verner

not your pal any day of the week.

The Objective

Yeah, my mistake.

Ashok Varma

Nothing like an angry paid Wahhabi liar who has been discredited every day. Abay madar chod bund baand ker :)

The Objective

Angry? No. Maybe a little disappointed that Trump didn’t have a second chance to finish what he started. But there are still at least 74 million american voters who agree with him on Iran. So it’s just a matter of time before another tough bird occupies the White house. Things will never get better for Iran. Mark my words. I’ll remind you about this a year after now.

I wonder how much each one of those round trips cost us including wear and tear on the bombers. Once a year, you could argue is a normal maintenance flight but 10 times is a pointless demonstration of aggression.

Ashok Varma

Totally pointless waste of money, when US is bankrupt.

farbat

they are afraid which is why they try to show force

farbat

its useless the b52 doesnt impress anyone

farbat

they should turn their whole b52 bomber fleet into watercarrying wildfire fighting support planes

farbat

b52 bomber concept has no operational value in next gen warfare and its really an easy target

farbat

the same can be seen with the zionist harop its also totally useless against a peer competitor and the fact that they depend so much on these big sluggish planes is amazingly foolish and of course one single harop drone costs a million if you have all the command and support planes but down these planes and you put 100s of millions loss on an enemy in a very easy fashion its amazingly foolish

verner

the stupidity evidenced by the exceptional morons in the white house and pentagon is of such dimensions that they really deserve to be lamp-posted asap (together with the war-criminal benny netanyahu)

Iran carries out first ever large airborne offensive maneuver on the Makran Coast

The Artesh high command noted, as reported by Al-Mayadeen TV, that the 55th Airborne Brigade of the Army Land Force, in the first phase of the exercises, carried out airborne operations via parachute and air dropped BMP2 personnel carriers.

“The Airborne Forces landed in the form of hundreds of special forces paratroopers, carried by over 50 C-130 army aircraft, at the specified locations during a pre-planned operation,” he explained, stating that the “landing weapons and military equipment, included Misagh 2 manpads, Dehalveih ATGM, motorcycles and 107 caliber rocket launchers. and 23mm rapid fire cannons.”

Frankly, US is being more silly than usual, it has growing problems at home and half a million old and poor Americans have been left to die in the streets, the budget deficit is over $30 trillion now and they are trying to impress Iran with antiquated 60 year old B-52 junk slow aircraft that the Vietnamese easily shot down with rifles. Who are they kidding?

Just Me

US economy is deadbeat and millions are unemployed living on the streets and this wastage could be put to better use.

B-52 is post WW2 era subsonic cumbersome outdated plane with metal fatigue and more of a danger to the pilots than to Iran, Russia or China. Dozens of B-52 shot down by the NVA are littered all over Vietnam.
