⭕️ 🇸🇾🇺🇸 🇱🇧 American restrictions literally destroy medicine in Syria, local doctors say

Many Lebanese refugees come to Syria due to the Israeli attacks, especially to get medical care but the capabilities of Syrian medicine are very limited because of American sanctions, Syrian doctors told Sputnik. They noted that complex equipment and many medications are not available.

“The main problem is the treatment of chronic diseases. Due to the current economic blockade, it is very difficult to obtain raw materials for medicines and medical equipment,” Redan Zahreddin, a chief physician of a medical center in a refugee camp in the suburbs of Damascus, said.

Another doctor told Sputnik that many children can’t get necessary psychological assistance.

“Children need psychological help. They are still in a post-traumatic state after everything they saw and heard. To overcome this, children need daily help from psychologists, and therefore a stationary center for psychological assistance,” Rafia al Hamid, mobile medical team paediatrician, said.

Al Hamid added that despite the restrictions, thousands of Lebanese children were provided with treatment.

The US, EU, Australia, Canada and Switzerland imposed economic sanctions on Syria, most of them were put in force in 2011, when the civil war broke out in the country. The American restrictions were tightened in 2020.

⭕ I think the probability is near zero that the Israelis struck this site with a long-range missile. It is ~1000km from the reported launch positions of the Israeli aircraft.

The more likely candidate would be one or more long-range, slow-flying, small-warhead drones.

And whereas the old photo in the lower left shows stacks of boosters around the building, the more recent photo (top left) shows nothing but the building inside the bermed area.

Additionally, although the low-res photo is not sufficient to draw firm conclusions, there is no apparent debris field — suggesting very little warhead punch was delivered.

It is also quite possible this facility had been mothballed for some time. |media|
⭕ This is another example of unpersuasive battle damage assessment.

There is a near-zero possibility these two sites (near Tehran) were hit by anything more than long-range small-warhead drones.

It is also doubtful that meaningful damage was done — assuming the facility was still an active part of Iran’s rocket motor production chain.

I also note that this Decker Eveleth guy is clearly operating from a position of extreme bias. He tried very hard to downplay the accuracy and damage of the Iranian strikes against Israel’s Nevatim airbase, just as he is trying very hard to overstate the accuracy and damage of Israel’s recent strikes against Iranian targets.

⭕ 🔻 Simplicius: 🗣️🇮🇱🇮🇷It’s amusing to see the spate of amateurs who so pretentiously proclaim Israel conducted some sort of highfalutin “SEAD” mission against Iran, destroying AD units like the S-300. These are delusions of grandeur.

Anyone who thinks that happened has no clue what SEAD even is or how it works. Go back to WarThunder and leave the analysis for the experts.

First of all, you don’t do SEAD at 500-700km distance. SEAD typically requires the launching aircraft to first detect the air defense assets itself in order to directly lock-on the appropriate anti-radiation munition to that asset in real-time. That means you have to be within range to even detect an AD unit, which is certainly not feasible at the distances Israel timidly launches its ALBMs. That’s because if you can detect them that means they can detect you.

Secondly, you have to have munitions even capable of doing SEAD, which most of Israel’s long range ones certainly are not; Air Lora, Blue Sparrow, etc., these are GPS guided and are basically fired blind at a static target you think was there hours ago. Don’t kid yourself amateurs, that’s not SEAD.

Now the ROCKS allegedly has a rarer version capable of anti-radiation lock-on. The problem is, you’re still not locking the target yourself as the delivery aircraft because at ballistic missile standoff ranges, the IAF is launching these ROCKS first with GPS coordinates based on where they “think” Iranian AD may be located, and then “hoping” that the terminal anti-radiation component takes over in the end, if it happens to detect some radiation.

That’s hardly real SEAD as the delivery aircraft never identifies nor locks the AD directly itself, given that it’s 500-700km away. You’re basically blindly firing a ballistic missile at a static GPS coordinate (where your satellite saw an AD system located perhaps hours, perhaps days ago) and you’re hoping some radiation signal is detected there.

That’s not true SEAD by a long shot, it’s just blindly flinging primitive GPS ballistics and hoping to hit mobile, relocatable targets.

Israel is not capable of conducting real SEAD against Iran because it would require Wild Weasel aircraft to actually get within detection range at which point they would be shot down.
🔻 Armchair Warlord: I’m mostly just amused that there’s a ton of Zionist accounts on this website claiming the Israelis blew up all these S-300 sites when we know from two and a half years of war in Ukraine those things go up like Krakatoa if hit and we’d have had dozens of videos immediately if so. |media|

According to Galant, despite the success of the Israeli army’s operations against Hamas and Hezbollah , “in order to fulfill its duty to return the hostages, Israel will have to make painful concessions.”

Israel will use the opportunity to negotiate special conditions this Sunday in Doha at a meeting between the heads of the CIA and the Israeli Mossad and the Prime Minister of Qatar. The parties have begun discussing a new short-term agreement on a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages. However, the success of the renewed negotiations depends above all on whether the far-right government of Netanyahu is ready to take a break from the offensive and aggressive operations.
[Right! On cue! What a bunch of one-trick ponies. Attack Iran, then ramp up talk of ceasefire through the worn whores of USA-Qatar-Egypt.

⭕ New terms for possible Israel-Hamas truce

Mediators from the United States, Egypt and Qatar have presented Israel and Hamas with a plan for a short-term but extendable truce and hostage exchange. The latest proposals are said to call for an initial truce of up to 10 days , during which humanitarian aid would flow into Gaza and a limited exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners would take place. After the truce takes effect, indirect talks between Israel and Hamas are planned .

The extension of the truce is contingent on both sides abiding by its terms , the sources said. Hostages held by Hamas will be released in groups of five, with priority given to US and Israeli citizens . In exchange, the IDF is offering to hand over Yahya Sinwar’s body for burial in Gaza and provide safe passage for Hamas officials into the enclave.

The proposals so far make no mention of Hamas’s long-standing demands : a permanent ceasefire, a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and the return of displaced Palestinians to their homes. Moreover, Israel is known to have no intention of withdrawing its troops from Rafah and the Philadelphi Corridor , an area on the border between Egypt and Gaza.

⭕ (O you who have believed, fight those adjacent to you of the disbelievers, and let them find in you harshness. And know that Allah is with the righteous. 9:123)

Evaluating the Zionist attack on the Islamic Republic must be subjected to several criteria, some of which may be technical, which specialists will determine after the dust settles and the situation becomes clear. There are several critical factors to consider:

1. The use of Iraqi airspace to target Iranian facilities, repeated in waves that lasted for hours, represents a dangerous precedent that Iran has not faced before. There is also evidence suggesting that Jordanian territory and the desert of Hijaz [KSA] were used as flight paths for these aircraft. This could not have happened without prior agreement and insistence from the Americans, who dominate Iraqi airspace.

2. The infringement on the Islamic Republic by a rogue entity that is an intruder in the region is a serious disregard and a dangerous overstep, which must not go unpunished under any circumstances; otherwise, it will set a precedent that this reckless enemy will repeat.

In light of the above, the Americans must pay the price for their arrogance in using Iraqi airspace; this will, by the grace of Allah, come at its time and place. The Zionists are not exempt from this either; after daring to confront Iran, they will surely dare to confront Iraq if they do not pay a heavy price for their aggression.

⭕ In my estimation, a response is certain. The first direct Israeli attack on Iran cannot go unanswered, no matter how minor it was.

The view of the political and military leadership is also arriving at this conclusion. If we do not respond, we will set a bad precedent for the future, and the scope of Israel’s attacks will gradually increase.

Iran now needs to take the reigns into its hand, and begin to take control of the escalation ladder and the pace of the battle.

The time of not responding to ‘minor attacks’ is over. The Zionists must be disciplined and beaten into submission.

We clearly have the military upper hand, the time to make up for past restraint is now.

⭕ 🇮🇷 Four locations seem to have been hit, as per the current information:

1. Three to four minor impacts at a missile fuel mixing facility (likely for missiles) in Khojir and some of its support buildings in Parchin. Unclear if the installation was active.
2. One impact on a warehouse in Shamsabad Industrial City near Imam Khomeini Intl. Airport, ‘Taksaz Industrial Innovators En.Co’, a company related to agriculture and mining equipment.
3. One alleged impact at a radar site near Tehran province.
4. Impacts at radar sites in Dezful / Andimeshk in the South-Western air defense sector in Khuzestan province, and possibly also in Ilam province.

⭕ NEW: Satellite imagery shows damage to two mixer buildings in Khojir fuel mixing facility, which is used for making fuel for short to medium range air-defense missiles and ATGMs, NOT ballistic missiles

The sheds still seem to be standing and only partially destroyed, indicating an extremely light warhead or possibly even drones.

The practical impact of this attack is zero. Now we have to wait for satellite imagery of the targeted air defense arrays in South-Western Iran. In any case, so far, so good.

The ability of the Zionist army to penetrate into Iran’s territory has been very weak, and the protection of the country’s airspace by the defense system of our country was very effective and excellent.

We support Iran’s legitimate defense and demand Iran’s decisive response to the aggressive act of the Zionist regime at the right time.’

It appears Iran (and Russia) really surprised the nazi genocidal alliance. They not only stopped most of the first wave of long-range stand-off missiles, but enough of the warjet platforms (??). Subsequent waves were immediately called off given the catastrophe.

It is gonna take ALOT to pierce the airspace defenses of the civilizational-states. Thousands of conventional missiles or the big ICBMS…

#Hezbollah bombed the Israeli base from where #Israel departed to attack #Iran:

Hezbollah attacked with several drones Tel Nov Air Force Base, located near the town of Rehovot [yes, our own Rehoboth, aka Rehoboth Beach in Delaware, stomping grounds of both Biden and the Senate staffer catamite] in central #Israel, approximately 20 kilometres (12 miles) southeast of Tel Aviv. The base is positioned within easy reach of major urban areas, allowing for efficient deployment of forces across Israel’s northern and southern regions.

Tel Nov is strategically positioned, providing the Israel Air Force with rapid response capabilities across the country and the region. Its central location allows for efficient deployment to northern and southern fronts, enhancing Israel’s ability to respond to various security threats.

It is one of the few bases that hosts some of Israel’s most advanced fighter jets, including F-15I (Ra’am) and F-16I (Sufa). These jets are crucial for both defensive and offensive operations, including long-range strike missions against Iran.

💠@imetatronink:
⭕ 🔻 WS: I’ve seen zero evidence that Israeli aircraft penetrated Iranian airspace.
🔻 WS: You have misinterpreted what it says. Yes, aircraft launched missiles from MAXIMUM stand-off positions, outside of Iranian airspace.

And I’ll probably block you again, because you are consistently dumb.
🔻 C2: Had Israeli aircraft penetrated Iranian airspace, especially within range of Tehran, I think we would be seeing some plane wreckage right about now
🔻 C3: Zero ….if they had succeeded in doing that, the media would have trumpeted it and make a public show …but it was clear that the videos going around were videos of air defense systems going up against incoming missiles
⭕ 🔻@Pataramesh: Today Israel successfully demonstrated to Iran

➡️ That it posses a tactical nuclear weapon delivery system that can strike deep into Iran with pin-point accuracy

That was the essence of this operation
🔻 WS: I haven’t had time yet to thoroughly scan all the reporting, but I have not seen evidence of “pin-point strikes” of much of anything. What am I missing?
🔻@Pataramesh: No, what you said is correct

But I highly expect accurate hit(s)
🔻 C2: HIGHLY EXPECT 🤡
🔻 C3: Then how are you declaring it a successful demonstration?
⭕ ⚡️ Here’s what I have observed at this point in relation to the Israeli strikes against Iran:

– The Israelis launched a lot of missiles — all from maximum stand-off distance.

– Iran put up a LOT of air defense missiles.

– There are no firm reports nor video evidence (so far) of big missile strikes on any significant Iranian targets.

– The Iranians say they intercepted most of the attacking missiles, but admit some got through.

– All the usual purveyors of #EmpirePropaganda are claiming Israel crushed Iranian air defenses and devastated their intended targets.

My impression is that, although they probably hit *something* meaningful with this strike, by and large it was a demonstration of just how limited Israeli long-range strike capability really is — and how formidable Iranian air defenses have become.
🔻 C1: And what were the targets of the missiles? Air defense as Israel claims? And/or other targets?
🔻 WS: I’m still waiting for evidence — or even specific claims — of successful strikes against ANY targets. The lack of such evidence so far suggests most of the missiles were shot down.
🔻 C2: Iranian surprisingly have a multitier integrated AD system. Starting with 100mm electrooptical robot ack-ack and ending with S400. the 100mm cannon destroyed all the decoy drones and the Bavar took care of the glide bombs. Since Iran didn’t take the bait the jets were called off.
🔻 C3: Iranian army admited to some radars being hit.
⭕ ‼️ If Israel had indeed struck any meaningful targets in last night’s strikes, we would have seen some persuasive evidence of it by now.

I increasingly suspect they encountered something they did not expect in the very first wave, and it discombobulated their whole plan.
🔻 C1: If the S400 did what it is supposed to do then Israel just got found out. Something strange in that there are no images showing the hits same way we saw them during the Iran attack on Israel.
🔻 WS: I am dubious there are any S-400 systems in Iran. And if there are, I’ve seen nothing to indicate they have been used.
🔻 C2: What I have seen is consistent with the Pantsir system.
🔻 C3: It was the Hawk-SAM according to the newest report. Apparently, Iran still has the Hawk in service.
🔻 WS: It was obviously a decoy.
🔻 C4: Question is, is Putin telling the mullahs to hold off on retaliating until after the election. The war mongers are doing a lot to kick something off to lock Trump in. It’s obvious the axis doesn’t want all out war but we’re currently doing a pretty good job to set it off.
🔻 WS: I don’t believe Russia cares at all who wins the US election. It makes no difference.
🔻 C5: Trump won’t stop funding Ukraine.
🔻 WS: “Funding Ukraine” will become an entirely moot issue. The Ukrainian military will completely disappear before too much longer. European NATO is an empty shell. US munitions stockpiles are red-lining, and the US military industrial base is incapable of meaningful expansion.
🔻 C6: It makes all the difference indeed.

With Putin, you know who you’re getting with Trump.

With Harris, you’re getting a low IQ individual who would not be running the country, like Biden, by faceless people.

Any leader would prefer predictability.
🔻 WS: I disagree. Strongly.

[sorry, as practitioner, the term does remind of, “coitus interruptus” – one of oldest known birth control methods.. Perhaps a most fitting metaphor overall for the ending of the Last Satanic Empire]
🔻 C8: Maybe they got reigned in by the Pentagon.
🔻 WS: I simply don’t believe Israel has long-range strike capability sufficient to do any meaningful damage to high-value Iranian targets.
🔻 C9: Absolutely, without US support, they don‘t stand a chance.
🔻 WS: I don’t believe the US has long-range strike capability sufficient to do any meaningful damage to high-value Iranian targets.
🔻 C10: But Iran has enough long-range ground-launched missiles to destroy Israel. The countries have very different sizes. Size matters in this case!
🔻 WS: Geography is hard for some people.

Iran possesses some of the most favorable geographic and geostrategic advantages on the planet.

Israel is an acutely vulnerable micro-pygmy in comparison.
🔻 C11: So what exactly is Iran so afraid of, Will?
🔻 C10: Iran is afraid of war. People who know war aren’t so enthusiastic about it, even if they are sure they will win eventually.
🔻 WS: I see no evidence Iran is “afraid”.

All things considered, I think Iran is managing its affairs remarkably well. Time is on their side.

I also believe the Iranians have agreed to abide by “rules of engagement” established by their more powerful allies, Russia and China.
🔻 WS: Just like Russia has done in Ukraine, and China is doing with Taiwan, Iran would much prefer to achieve strategic victory as inexpensively as possible. And time is on their side.
🔻 C12: Iran is the size of Germany, UK, Italy, France and Spain combined, with the terrain of Swiss Alps. The reason Persians outlast everyone is geography. The only time Persians lost wars is when the rural population isn’t supporting the government in the cities. Not an issue now.
🔻 C9: Ah, ok, so Russia and China may be throttling them back, playing for time?
🔻 WS: They are fighting a *GLOBAL* WW3. It’s much more than just a regional war in the Levant, or in Ukraine, or in the South China Sea.
🔻 C13: Yes, given the report that Israel launched the attack with a large number of fighters, supported by flotilla of American air refuellers.
🔻 WS: I don’t believe any tankers — US or Israeli — were used. They were very likely not needed. The Israelis apparently didn’t even enter Iranian airspace. They probably operated well within their un-refueled combat range.
🔻 C19: Some refueling was probably needed. The fighters carrying the missiles were so heavily loaded that they were vulnerable, so a continuous air patrol was necessary to escort them.
🔻 WS: This is a valid point. They would certainly have had CAP fighters in the air, just in case the IRAF decided to get involved.
🔻 C14: How is it possible they didnt enter Iranian airspace if they struck target near Tehran which is 400km from western border with air launched missiles only having range of max 250km?
🔻 WS: LORA missiles have ~400km range. But the AD video of Tehran I saw looked like they were firing at drones. Long-range, low-flying, small-warhead drones. But even then, I saw no evidence of ground strikes. Looked like a very high intercept rate.
🔻 C15: Iran said 70km from their border. Is this in range?
🔻 WS: The Israeli LORA air-launched quasi-ballistic missiles have ~400km range.
🔻 C15: At about 2000km distance, back and forth, it seem to be at the very limit of what israel could do. You know better, but my basic logic says this is not very likely.
🔻 WS: F-15s have a 1500km combat radius. (3000km roundtrip.)
🔻 WS: That said, I’ve now been persuaded that there were some tankers in the air in order to keep the combat air patrol fighters topped off for the duration of the multiple strike waves.
🔻 C16: They ran into Russian air defense systems like the S-400.

It’s clear, first in Ukraine, now in Iran, that US centric offensive air systems cannot compete with the Russian defensive capabilities.

Game. Set. Match.
🔻 C17: From what I’ve seen from iranians who would know, iran doesn’t have a single s400
🔻 WS: Probably true. But they do have late-model highly capable S-300s — both Russian and home-made versions.
🔻 C18: I actually actually agree. But if Trump wins, Europe might have to go at it alone, Trump has said he’ll tariff everything from China if they take Taiwan and I’m sure we’ll be involved in the Middle East. We’re still doomed but that’s way better than going option2 all in ww3
🔻 WS: Trump is still susceptible to everything the neocons whisper in his ear — Graham, Pompeo, Rubio … all of them.

Even so, imo, the US can’t win a war against ANY of its big adversaries
🔻 C18: Susceptible I agree. And yes the alliance is the end of the west. But im saying maybe just maybe he can mitigate some of it. And I’ll take that. And yes we’ll lose the next war. In my opinion the alternative is the chances of nuclear exchange go up exponentially.
🔻 C18: It’s not going to shock you or me but when things inevitably escalate in the Middle East the world is going to shit their collective pants when both China and Russia show up on the ground and in the air.
🔻 WS: It’s hard to say what forms a Russia/China/Iran/North Korea axis will take. But I am convinced the US/Israel/NATO alliance could not undertake a war against even Iran alone. If Iran was materially supported by its allies, it would be unthinkable.
🔻 C18: It makes all the difference indeed.

With Putin, you know who you’re getting with Trump.

With Harris, you’re getting a low IQ individual who would not be running the country, like Biden, by faceless people.

Any leader would prefer predictability.
🔻 C19: That’s how an American would view it.

From the rest of us Trump and Harris, or Bush and Obama, or Clinton and….

They’re two sides of the same coin. The USamerican foreign policy never changes. It’s just you fools flopping around thinking you’ll change the world.
🔻 WS: Paraphrasing the former president of Tanzania: The United States is a one-party system, but with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.
🔻 C19: Either way, do you think #Iran will strike back?
🔻 WS: In my opinion, it’s a near certainty they will — in order to put an exclamation point on their escalation supremacy.

When and how is hard to predict.
🔻 C20: Will, what do you suggest that they encountered? A more sophisticated AD than expected? Threat to their jets themselves? Do you think that they aware immediately that their plans were stymied?
🔻 WS: I don’t know for sure. Could have been nothing more than their jets detecting a radar lock they had never encountered. Or they saw how many of their missiles were getting intercepted.
🔻 C21: Iran received Pantsir air defense systems.
🔻 WS: Iran has had Pantsir systems for many years. They also produce a homemade analogue.

🔻 Armchair Warlord: I suspect that what actually happened in Iran last night was an aborted attack. The IAF’s initial SEAD strikes with long-range missiles, meant to pave the way for what was probably an F-35 strike package with conventional bombs, clearly failed. Thus they scrubbed the strike.⬇️

Claims of damage in Iran beyond an apparent MIM-23 HAWK site in the Tehran area (which I suspect burned down due to a launch accident with very old missiles rather than enemy action) are very speculative at this point. Apparently four Iranian soldiers were killed during the attack, but the circumstances of their deaths – or, indeed, whether they were even in Iran or instead stationed in Syria, which was also hit last night – are unclear at this time.

BrOSINT is frantically searching around for anything that can be passed off as damage right now – the below pictures are claimed as destroyed buildings at an Iranian military facility when it rather looks to me like the Iranians put up some camouflage nets after the attack and brOSINT is grasping at straws, similarly to the claimed “damaged radar” from April.

In general this attack was extremely underwhelming, particularly given that the Israeli military has announced that (1) this was in fact the big retaliatory strike; and (2) they’ve finished the operation. It’s difficult to escape the impression that this was either a monumental and very uncharacteristic flinch on Netanyahu’s part or that the Israelis simply failed last night.

🔻 Armchair Warlord: Goebbels-tier cope
🔻 C2: Iran has had a zillion years to think about what American air superiority did to their neighbor Iraq. It seems insane to me that Iran wouldn’t invest insane amounts into air defense
🔻 C3: Bro, Iran is sanctioned to hell. Air defense is extremely complex and often relies on having aircraft to test your air defense against. It’s hard for them to develop this natively with all the sanctions in place.
🔻 WS: And yet Iran has developed and fielded the third-best Integrated Air Defense System on the planet, behind only Russia and China.
Underestimate Iran At Your Peril
🔻 C3: They’ve done a good job within their limited means but to say that it’s more sophisticated than Israel’s or the US’s air defense, is not correct. The Israeli air defense is also a lot more battle tested.
🔻 WS: Utter nonsense. The US/NATO and Israeli IADS have been exposed by the Russians and Iranians for the myth they are.
⭕🔻 Simplicius: As expected, Israeli boosters were found in Iraq and Syria, from where the IDF exclusively launches their attacks on Iran. The IDF planes do not dare go anywhere within 100-200km of Iranian border because even the F-35s are easily detected by Iranian/Russian radars |THREAD|
⭕ Retweet:
‘Israeli media reports that an “unknown air defense system” was used to shoot down targets over Tehran province.’

This system is possibly the 48N6E2(3) missile that Iran’s S-300 (or S-400) launchers could use.

The 48N6E2 (48N6D) has a range of 200 km and a speed of Mach 6.5.
The 48N6E3 (48N6DM) has a range of 250 km—speed Mach 7+.

I have argued that Russia developed anti-stealth versions of these missiles. |THREAD|
