Iran has about a million active duty troops with another 13.6 million reservists and militia troops it could mobilize if the US invaded it. The US Army has a little over 450,000 active duty troops and over 500,000 reserve troops while the US Marine Corps has just over 200,000 active and reserve soldiers. So even if the US deployed all 1.15 million active-duty and reserve ground troops to invade a huge mountainous country like Iran it likely would not be enough to defeat them without resorting to the use of nuclear weapons. Perhaps that is why the White House is refusing to rule out a return to the draft for the first time in 54 years.

🇮🇷🇮🇱 Iran's IRGC fired off Wave 89 at Israel. Over 100 heavy missiles, swarms of offensive drones, and 200 rockets slammed into Eilat, Tel Aviv, and Bnei Brak.

Trump says he'll bomb Iran to the Stone Age and then the next President must bomb again. This is the Israelization of America's war - it's Israel's mowing-the-lawn policy This is precisely why previous Presidents resisted Israel's pressure for war w/ Iran: To avoid endless war

1944 Hitler introducing a "gas chamber".... (Topic forbidden to question/debate)... Nahhh this is 2026 from a European supremacist representing Israel, a sick society. This is Ben Gvir introducing execution chamber for Palestinian people, the same owners of the land colonisers stole. Palestinian prisoners used to be tortured and sodomized, now they will be executed as well.

The so-called “compassion” of American police Have you seen how this mother was treated while protesting her son being sent to fight for Israel? Absolutely disgraceful.

“If we don’t take action to restrain the Israelis, this cycle will just continue. We need to make it clear that offensive operations must stop unless they are coordinated with us first. If they keep launching strikes without our approval, we should begin removing parts of their defense system. That’s the only effective way to hold them accountable. Simply asking won’t work anymore each time we do, they agree but then carry on with the attacks. We are bearing the brunt of this war while also financing their defense. The only path forward is to impose limits on the Israelis and push for a shift toward diplomacy.”

This is how the Israeli police behave toward an elderly Jewish woman who wanted to protest the Death Penalty for Palestinians Law. If she was Palestinian they would've shot her.

Please share. Let it be known that many Israelis are enraged by the Ben-Gvirite settler terror and the death penalty law, and that some of them are brave enough to demonstrate and face unprecedented police brutality in the streets of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump says the U.S. will hit Iranian bridges that would take "15-20 years to rebuild." Bridges are civilian infrastructure that millions of Iranians depend on daily. Destroying them doesn't weaken the IRGC. It punishes ordinary people and makes postwar reconstruction exponentially harder. And if the pattern holds, Iran will retaliate by hitting bridges somewhere in the Gulf. At what point does someone in the room ask whether these targets are ending the war or just guaranteeing the next one? Source: @Acyn

The mask is completely off. A retired US General admits that since the Pentagon has run out of military targets in Iran, they are now preparing to systematically destroy the country's national civilian infrastructure. This is a blatant confession of planned war crimes.

An Israeli strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs. Over 1 million people have already been displaced in Lebanon in just a few weeks. This is nearly one-fifth of the entire population of a country that already hosts the world’s highest number of refugees per capita. The homes of entire families have been wiped out and towns emptied. Bridges that connect communities to the transportation of supplies have been blown up. The death toll is rising faster than during any previous war in Lebanon. This has quickly become an humanitarian catastrophe. And many of the 1 million displaced civilians (like in previous wars in the Middle East) will be forced into fleeing their war torn lands and migrate as refugees across Europe to seek safety and survival.

Israel is now starving ONE MILLION PEOPLE in Gaza while spraying ONE MILLION PEOPLE in Lebanon with banned phosphorus and relentlessly bombing MILLIONS of PEOPLE in Iran violating international law with absolutely no consequences This's what real threat to world peace looks like
