Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?
- Thread starter Sybertiger
- Start date
Now Iran and Russia will have better comms and drones in air and water with live feed and unlimited control range.
First Nato member to get a safe passage besides Turkey.
This war is a blessing for Russia, financially oil sanctioned removed, oil and LNG prices are up and they also get to degrade US miltary assests.

The UAE Spent 40 Years Building Its Advanced Air Defense For Iran War
Abu Dhabi operates several ground-based air defense systems from various countries, as well as a formidable fighter fleet. Despite this, the sheer scale of Iranian attacks, targeting everything from military bases to energy facilities and hotels, has undoubtedly put a strain on these finite defenses. Since the start of the war, the UAE has reported extremely high intercept rates of the incoming Iranian munitions. As of Friday, it estimates it has intercepted a total of 338 ballistic missiles, 15 cruise missiles, and 1,740 drones since February 28.

Boots on ground, to some degree, looks imminent
Today we're looking into new assessments that boots on ground are likely in Iran. From General Mattis saying we're in a tough spot, to the Wall Street Journal publishing an article saying it's the only way forward, it seems like this has turned from a maybe to a matter of time. We also look at a Washington Post article suggesting that we're moving towards the Strait of Hormuz as the overriding priority right now, which does seem to line up with recent statements, and would show that we're reacting now to Iranian moves.

Trump says Vance and Rubio are ‘involved’ in negotiations with Iran
Washington Examiner ^ | March 24, 2026 | Christian Datoc
President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are involved in ongoing peace talks with Iran.
The president had originally tapped special envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, to lead talks with Tehran. However, Iranian officials refused to negotiate with Witkoff and Kushner, according to the Guardian.
“We’re in negotiations right now. They’re doing it, along with Marco and JD; we have a number of people doing it,” the president told reporters in the Oval Office. “The other side, I can tell you, they’d like to make a deal. And who wouldn’t if you were them?”
“Look, their navy is gone. Their air force is gone. Their communications are gone. That’s the biggest problem,” Trump continued. “As opposed to Iran, we’re roaming free. We can do whatever we want, and as you know, today, we were going to have the privilege of shooting down a very big electric generation plant, one of the biggest in the world, and one shot to the right location, ends the plant and it collapses, and we held off, based on the fact that we’re negotiating.”
