It around 85% against the regime. Some are for it because they profit from it. About 12% are fanatical shia islamists. They own the weapons.

I think the administration knows the latter is a possibility, as they have not really targeted Artesh leaders and the intra-service rivalry is a much easier way of finding an armed faction to ensure regime change.


We don't know how inoculated with radical shia islamist the Artesh is. I certainly don't

It probably is a good deal more secular than the IRGC, as membership in the IRGC can act as a self-selection mechanism.

I had this thought today.

What the world witnessed between the U.S. and Israel against Iran was one of the largest coordinated air campaigns ever launched against a single nation-state by two allied powers. Few operations, if any, in the modern era compare.

In the first 72 hours alone, over 1,700 targets were struck. By day seven, the U.S. had hit more than 3,000. By day ten, 5,000. The final U.S. tally: over 13,000 targets. More than 2,000 command and control sites. 1,500 air defense positions. 450 ballistic missile targets. 600 naval targets.
Israel matched that tempo on its own terms.

In 18 days, the Israeli Air Force flew what it normally flies in a full year. More than 12,000 munitions dropped. 8,500 strikes across Iran. 5,700 combat sorties in the Iranian theater alone. 7,000 targets struck across all fronts of operation.

Before Iran could respond meaningfully, Israel had destroyed 80 to 85 percent of Iran’s air defense architecture. Radars. Interceptors. Detection systems. Gone.
Iran was producing roughly 100 ballistic missiles per month before the war. That capacity is now close to zero.

The first 24 hours were double the firepower of the opening of the 2003 Iraq War.

Desert Storm opened with 150 targets. Epic Fury opened with 1,700.

The most sustained joint air campaign of the 21st century. By two countries.

That’s probably a half day of fraud for California.

So one more day before we start blasting away again. Did anyone really think there would be a deal made?

There you go again, only 2 littlebirds and 1 Chinook have been destroyed, not checking the rest, but 2 lies is a bad start
