Iran-Israel Conflict: Current Tensions and Future Prospects

Iran's future attacks remain uncertain, possibly serving as leverage for ceasefire negotiations amid escalating tensions with Israel.

### Escalating Tensions: The Iran-Israel Conflict Amidst U.S. Elections
* ⚔ Iran has threatened further attacks while simultaneously seeking a ceasefire, indicating a **complex negotiation tactic** amidst ongoing hostilities with Israel.
* 📰 As of November 4th, the situation remains unclear with both countries **exchanging attacks**, and the U.S. elections looming as a potential variable **influencing the conflict dynamics**.
* 📊 Intelligence reports suggest a possible Iranian attack on Israel could occur **around the election period**, but no confirmation of such an event has been reported yet.
* ✈ Israel claims to have mobilized **100 fighter jets** in retaliation to an Iranian ballistic missile attack, asserting that they successfully targeted **Iranian air defense systems**, although Iran contests the **extent of the damage**.
* 💣 The Israeli military asserts that they **destroyed critical Iranian facilities**, including missile factories and air defense systems, while Iran maintains that their underground facilities **mitigated significant damage**.
* 🤔 The narrative from both sides is conflicting, with Iran **downplaying the impact of Israeli strikes** and suggesting that the situation is being **exaggerated for media purposes**.
* 🌍 As the U.S. presidential election approaches, both candidates express intentions to **end the conflict**, potentially leading to a **temporary de-escalation** despite ongoing military engagements.
* 🔍 The geopolitical landscape is further complicated by Iran's **increasing military ties with Russia and China**, as they seek **advanced weaponry and support** amidst their ongoing conflict with Israel.

However, Iran is also saying it will attack again, and I'm not sure when that will happen. This makes me think it could be a tactic for negotiating a ceasefire. In fact, Iran doesn't want to prolong the battlefield anymore. Neither Iran nor the United States wants to escalate the situation, but Israel does. Currently, there are still exchanges of attacks between Iran and Israel. As of now, the exact situation is unclear. Today is November 4th, and it's difficult to say who has the upper hand. One variable leading up to the U.S. elections is that Iran has been targeting Israel.

There have been continuous reports from the intelligence agencies of Israel and the United States suggesting that an attack could occur. It was mentioned that, right before the elections, possibly as early as Sunday local time, which means it should have happened around today for us, there has been no news of such an attack yet. It seems that they cannot confirm that Iran has been attacked. The opinions regarding Israel's attack are somewhat divided, and even the observers have differing views. According to Israel's claims, Iran attacked Israel with a ballistic missile on October 1st, and in retaliation, Israel mobilized 100 fighter jets, including aerial refueling aircraft, successfully attacking Iran in three phases. Therefore, according to Israel's assertions, the S-300 system...

So, regarding Russia, we refer to it as SAD in the Russian context. They destroyed all four of Iran's air defense systems. They also took out the S-200 air defense system, which protects sensitive oil facilities and energy production sites. Furthermore, they destroyed the radar that Iran boasts can detect targets up to 1,000 kilometers away. They attacked and destroyed 16 factories related to ballistic missiles. To manufacture ballistic missiles, fuel needs to be mixed, and they also targeted and destroyed the mixing facilities. Now, Israel's claims are quite flashy; this is Israel's assertion. Iran claims that they did not suffer much damage. Israel says that they have hit us a lot, but most of our important facilities are underground, so Israel's attacks were ineffective. They assert that we managed to intercept most of the attacks. In reality, Israeli missiles over Tehran have...

I saw several missiles being shot down by Iran's air defense system. From what I observed, I think I saw about six or seven of them. After that, nothing else was reported. In the confrontation between Israel and Iran, four soldiers and one civilian were killed, but Iran's attack on Israel was not significant. Furthermore, a high-ranking Iranian official commented that Israel's attack was like firecrackers, saying it was nothing special. This led to criticism within Iran, questioning how he could say that when our soldiers and civilians were killed. Iran has stated that it was not a big deal. So, someone is lying. Someone must be lying. Looking back at the past, regarding Iran's nuclear facilities...

There was someone who was involved in surveillance, yes. He worked for MI6, the intelligence agency in the UK, and he is now retired. Among the British, there is a person named Alex Crew. He is someone who has more information than others and still has connections with various people. After the attack, on the following day, there was a YouTube video featuring a judge from the United States, which I watch quite often. In that video, he mentioned that he received information from sources in Israel. According to what he found out, during the first attack, Israel aimed to destroy Iran's air defense systems. They needed to take out the air defenses to carry out effective attacks in the second and third phases. It was reported that an F-35 was entering Iran to destroy the air defenses when it was detected by an unidentified radar. They realized that they had been caught by the enemy's radar. Then...

In fact, missiles were fired and intercepted. However, they were not launched, and we managed to escape. Therefore, we halted the operation and had to go further in to launch the missiles. They were launched from a location that is likely 70 to 100 kilometers from the Iran-Iraq border. Because the radar detected the first attack, we had no choice but to fire the missiles from that position, but those missiles could not be accurate. They could not be accurate at all. Additionally, we couldn't carry out a second or third attack because we were detected, so we just retreated. Meanwhile, Israel claimed that we were completely successful. There is one interesting point that aligns with what Iran is saying. Iran mentioned that Israel claimed our airspace was violated, but it was not violated; they came in from Iraq and then approached the border.

They claimed that they fired from a distance of 100 kilometers, but no one can verify this. Another point that has emerged over time from the Iranian side is that there have been reports in the media about an explosion caused by Israeli missiles in the Parachia and Shahnaz areas, specifically in a region known as Shahriar. According to the local residents, the missiles came flying from the north. So, where did they come from in the north? They came from Azerbaijan. Israel and Azerbaijan have a very close relationship, even though Israel is a Muslim country. Therefore, right now, Ali Fadavi, the deputy commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, is suggesting that they need to take a closer look at Azerbaijan. This has been mentioned, and just yesterday, there were discussions between Iran and Azerbaijan.

In the Caspian Sea, joint naval exercises are taking place. What is going on with Iran? Are they just enduring it quietly, or are they noting it down for later? There are subtle processes happening continuously. But if one side has been destroyed and the other has not, then the side that was destroyed can show explosion scenes, photos, or videos of the destruction. On the other hand, the side that was not destroyed could present photos or showcase the location, claiming that they were not destroyed. Are both sides not showing anything like that? The photos that Israel is showing seem to be of lower resolution, or is that strange? They are showing the places that they claim were destroyed, but those images are from construction sites. From the beginning, Israel has been criticized for conducting secret attacks, with the defense minister involved in a war room setting, and so on.

There was a video uploaded to the Ministry of Defense, and it was in a conference room. In that conference room, there was a photo displayed that was supposedly of the explosion in Tehran, but it turned out to be a photo from the past. It was also a photo from Lebanon. So, there were discussions about whether Israel was just playing around with the media. There could be various scenarios, but to summarize, it is a fact that Israel deployed 100 combat aircraft. They reached a certain point for the initial strike, but it seems highly likely that they were detected by radar and had to turn back after firing. 

Iran claims that they attacked from around 100 kilometers away, and there were issues reported between 70 and 100 kilometers. Interestingly, after that, things went quiet. Another amusing thing is that when Iran posts photos...

They said they would punish us, so we don't know what kind of damage there is in Iran. We can't know for sure. The photos aren't being uploaded; there must be some, but they aren't completely absent. For now, from the Iranian side, it has been reported that four soldiers and one civilian have died. This means something must have fallen on the facility. Yes, that's true, but we don't know to what extent. Like Israel said, what is this unidentified radar? What could it be? It is highly likely that it is the S-400. There have been claims from Israel that Iran received the S-400 and Su-35 from Russia before the attack. Considering that, could it be that Russia and Iran conducted a joint operation regarding the S-400? Also, yesterday, they stated that they have no intention of conducting joint operations with Russia.

So, regarding our national defense and security, there are many secrets, and I guess we will understand more as time goes by. However, it is true that they deployed 100 fighter jets this time, as reported from the Israeli side. It seems they launched a significant number of jets, which raises the possibility of a full-scale war, doesn't it? A hundred fighter jets is not a small number, right? It's not a small number at all. But if they launched these jets and there wasn't much impact, that would imply a failure in the initial attack. Is that a failure in strategy, or could it just be a show of force? They went up to a hundred jets, but if they are stealth jets like the F-35, then the fact that they were detected is a serious issue. This raises concerns, especially since we have known about the S-400 systems since they were first introduced.

Well, the U.S. and Israel have been conducting a lot of evasive training. If you think about it, they might be worried that the secrets of the F-35 could be leaked due to Turkey's introduction of the S-400 system. The U.S. got upset with Turkey and decided not to send F-35s there. Furthermore, there are ongoing claims that Iran and Russia know all the codes related to the F-35. It might become difficult to operate using the F-35 anymore. In the case of Israel, previously, they had been known to conduct limited operations after informing about their preemptive strikes. Was it the same this time? This time, Prime Minister Netanyahu has stated otherwise, but there are continuous reports in the media suggesting that they informed the Dutch ambassador about where they would strike before the attack. Why would they do that? If you think about it, there could be two reasons.

There may be a meaning in saying, I'll hit you, so try to block it, and it could also carry a mocking tone, suggesting that you won't be able to block it. Another point is that we might have informed them just enough to say that we only struck after we had given them a warning. Isn’t it amusing that they got caught despite being informed? If they hadn't been informed, the chances of getting caught would have been higher, right? If we inform them, the likelihood of getting caught obviously increases. So, what is Iran looking at now? Where have these planes been? The countries that are now being targeted, which are on the blacklist, include Jordan. It appears to be Jordan and Gaza. Iraq is also a place with many pro-Iran factions and a U.S. military base. Could it be that they are focusing on Jordan, Iraq, and Azerbaijan? Yes, I am currently observing this.

Then, it seems that Iran is likely to face some attacks in the future. What I'm saying is not that Iran will attack directly, but that they are suggesting they will strike from Iraq. If they were to attack from their own territory, they would suffer significant damage, and they would likely retaliate. Alternatively, they might think about a one-on-one response, considering that Israel had previously failed in Iraq. Since Israel launched attacks from there, they might feel justified in starting from the same point, similar to what Israel did. I think this might be the implication. Furthermore, it's not just a simple attack; this time, multiple forces are planning to strike simultaneously. For example, there could be the Houthis from Yemen, Hezbollah, and other pro-Iranian, anti-Israel armed groups in Syria and Iraq that might coordinate their attacks. 

Regarding the U.S. presidential election, it's approaching, and after this week, we will know the results.

After the presidential election, how do you think the situation regarding the Iran-Israel conflict will change? Right now, both candidates are saying they want to end the war. According to reports from Israel, Trump has demanded that Netanyahu end the war before he is inaugurated if he becomes president. This indicates that Trump also has the intention to end the war. On the other hand, Harris has recently stated that she will work to end the conflict as well. Regardless of who becomes president, it seems that the war will at least come to a temporary halt. Of course, just because the U.S. president says so, it doesn't mean Netanyahu will immediately agree, but it seems like the U.S. will be able to take a breather for a bit.

Anyway, Israel is receiving support. Then, China and Russia have already established their stance, which is to support Iran. This is purely based on reports from the Israeli side. Before Israel's attack, they had already announced that they would attack. A while ago, Russian S-400s and Su-35 and Su-30 fighter jets were brought into Iran. I'm not sure if Iranian pilots flew them in or if Russian pilots did, but there are claims that Russian pilots were involved. Additionally, it has been reported that China provided Iran with a laser system to intercept drones. If these reports are true, then it seems almost certain that Russia and China are conspiring to support Iran. Furthermore, regarding the previous attacks...

A few days ago, there was a BRICS summit where Russia fulfilled Iran's dreams. They announced that they would license produce Sukhoi 35 and 30 fighter jets in Iran. Parts will come in, and Russian technicians will assemble them in Iran, allowing Iran to possess 4.5 generation fighter jets. Until now, Iran's aircraft have been quite outdated, unable to fly properly, and they have only been launching missiles. While we can't say that these jets are better than American-made ones, they are certainly better than having nothing at all. Ultimately, the fact that Iran is bringing in aircraft means they will be integrated with the Russian system, right? Therefore, Iran's relationship with Russia will inevitably deepen. For example, they can't get too close to the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war, involving the U.S. and other nations, and then Russia's...

There is talk of a proxy war, but this refers to the situation where Israel and Iran are involved with the United States and Russia. It’s not really a proxy war; it’s more about Iran receiving assistance. In fact, Iran's dream has been to secure a reliable air defense system, but since the U.S. wouldn’t provide it, they turned to Russia. So, what Russia offered was that Iran would give the drones it had developed well to Russia. After Israel launched its attack, Netanyahu stated that if all objectives were lost, he might need to make painful concessions. This announcement raises the question of whether the hostage situation is a justification for Israel. Could this announcement indicate an end to the war? While we shouldn’t exaggerate and refer to it as a Middle Eastern war, it certainly pertains to the end of the Israel-Hamas conflict. The hostage exchange is seen as the final stage, but Prime Minister Netanyahu continues to...

Whenever it seems like a ceasefire negotiation is about to take place, they change their words, which makes it hard to know how much of this can be believed. We should have conducted hostage negotiations earlier; that should have happened. Instead, they postponed the negotiations and continued their attacks. Now, if they are negotiating for hostages, it's not just Hamas saying, Okay, we will release the hostages if you end the war. They are also saying, You need to release our hostages too. The question is how much of this will be accepted. Additionally, Hamas's willingness to make concessions for a hostage exchange pertains to the Palestinian side, while Hezbollah seems to be able to continue a sort of war without officially declaring it. Hezbollah and Hamas are operating in a way that is somewhat independent of the situation in Gaza with Israel.

They said they are willing to discuss a ceasefire, but they also stated that they would not link it to anything else. What that means is that Hezbollah may be in a very urgent situation; a ceasefire is needed. They are facing a lot of aerial bombardment, and Hezbollah, like Hamas, can only suffer at the hands of Israel because they are not a state organization but a military group. Therefore, they cannot possibly have an air force. It is obvious that they cannot overcome Israel's overwhelming supply capabilities. For Hezbollah, a ceasefire would currently be beneficial, while Israel seems to be weighing its options: either to negotiate or to push further. However, Prime Minister Netanyahu has expressed a very strong desire for Hezbollah to be eliminated, so a ceasefire with Hezbollah does not seem likely to be easy. Now, many...

People are worried about the possibility of a fifth Middle Eastern conflict or even the potential for a third world war, which has been discussed a lot on YouTube. Has the likelihood of these events decreased compared to before, or has the current situation increased that likelihood? Overall, the current situation seems to indicate that the pressure has eased. There has been a reduction in pressure. This is how we have to interpret it. Both sides have already engaged in attacks, including Iran. However, Iran also claims it will attack again, but it’s unclear whether this will actually happen or when it might occur. This could potentially be a tactic for negotiating a ceasefire. In fact, Iran no longer has the capacity to escalate the conflict. Both Iran and the United States do not want an escalation, but Israel does. Israel wants to strike the Iranian forces this time around. Just think about it: Hamas.

If Iran ordered or planned the attack, they would certainly jump in with both feet. However, the truth is that Hamas's attack was surprising to both Iran and Hezbollah. This is something that is also discussed on the Israeli side, as they claim that this was a solo effort by Hamas. Hamas acted independently. So, it's understandable that Hezbollah and Iran would be angry. Even if they planned and coordinated the attack step by step, it would still be difficult to defeat an opponent like Israel. If they launch an attack without any communication or consideration for us, how can we respond? From Hamas's perspective, it seems they thought, That's your problem; if we strike and get hit, you'll come to help us. However, Israel, as mentioned earlier, reportedly launched an attack with 100 fighter jets, which may or may not be true, but regardless, it’s a serious situation for them.

There is a probability that it can be propagated advantageously, but is there really a reason to express that Hamas is solely responsible for this? No, they have been doing this for a while, not just recently. This is something I have heard directly. This could also be grouped as just one move. From Israel's perspective, initially, everyone thought the same way. At first, everyone thought that Hamas couldn't defeat Israel; it was too obvious. So why are they doing such reckless things? Everyone assumed that there must be some backing behind them. However, it has now become clear that this is not the case, as Israel itself is stating that this is not true. If that’s the case, then Iran and, in fact, Hezbollah do not want to escalate the war further.

Iran has threatened to attack again, possibly as a negotiation tactic for a ceasefire, while both Iran and the U.

The conflict has led to a series of retaliatory attacks, with Israel claiming to have successfully targeted Iran's military facilities.

However, Iran asserts that they suffered minimal damage and intercepted most of Israel's attacks, leading to a divided opinion on the effectiveness of the strikes.

The Complex Dynamics of Recent Attacks in Iran

A retired MI6 agent, Alex Crew, has valuable information and connections related to the recent attacks in Iran.

Israel's first attack aimed to destroy Iran's air defense systems, but the operation was compromised by enemy radar detection.

The subsequent missile launches from a distance of 70 to 100 kilometers were inaccurate, leading to a retreat, while Iran and Azerbaijan's close relationship has raised suspicions and prompted discussions between the two countries.

Controversial Military Actions and Their Implications

A video from the Ministry of Defense displayed a misleading photo of an explosion, raising questions about Israel's media tactics.

Israel deployed 100 combat aircraft for an initial strike but was likely detected and had to turn back.

Iran claims to have attacked from 100 kilometers away, resulting in the reported deaths of four soldiers and one civilian, while the potential impact of the S-400 and Su-35 from Russia adds to the complexity of the situation.

Iran's Potential Response and Global Dynamics

Iran's warning of potential strikes raises questions about their future actions, with a focus on Jordan, Iraq, and Azerbaijan.

The coordination of multiple pro-Iranian groups for simultaneous attacks adds to the tension.

presidential election may lead to a temporary halt in the Iran-Israel conflict, with both candidates expressing a desire to end the war.

Russia's Support for Iran and the Middle East Tensions

Russia will license the production of Sukhoi 35 and 30 fighter jets in Iran, deepening their relationship.

Iran's outdated aircraft will be replaced, but the jets won't be as advanced as American-made ones.

The situation in the Middle East is tense, with Israel and Iran involved in a complex dynamic, and a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah seems unlikely.

Concerns About a Fifth Middle Eastern Conflict

There are worries about a potential fifth Middle Eastern conflict or a third world war, but the current situation seems to indicate a reduction in pressure.

Both Iran and the United States are not seeking escalation, while Israel aims to strike Iranian forces.

Hamas's recent attack was surprising to both Iran and Hezbollah, leading to tensions, but it is now clear that Hamas acted independently.
