https://www.reuters.com/world/iranian-state-media-report-missile-drills-different-iranian-cities-2025-12-22/DUBAI, Dec 22 (Reuters) - Iran held missile drills in various cities on Monday, state media reported, citing unnamed sources and witnesses, in what was the second such reported exercise in a month.NBC News reported on Saturday that U.S. President Donald Trump was to be briefed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that any expansion of Iran's ballistic missile programme poses a threat that could necessitate swift action.Western powers regard Iran's ballistic missile arsenal both as a conventional military threat to Middle East stability and a possible delivery mechanism for nuclear weapons should Tehran develop them. It denies any intent to build atomic bombs.The Telegram channel of Iran's public broadcaster and semi-official Nournews published videos of what appeared to be missile launches, without specifying the whereabouts.However, the outlets said launches took place from the capital Tehran and the cities of Isfahan and Mashhad. Reuters could not independently verify the authenticity of the videos.State media later on Monday cited "informed sources" as denying that missiles were tested and saying the circulated images were of "high-altitude aircraft". No clarification regarding the conflicting reports was provided.NBC reported that Israeli officials are concerned that Iran is reconstituting nuclear enrichment sites the U.S. bombed in June, and were preparing to brief Trump for options on attacking the missile programme again.Earlier this month, the navy of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards held a two-day exercise aimed at countering foreign threats, firing ballistic and cruise missiles at simulated targets in the Gulf.
Didn't Netanyahu say Iran had lost its missile launching capacity? Looks like he was wrong again.
>>1468225Hey remember how reports came out that Trump's strike on Iran's facilities didn't actually do as much damage as they said, and basically just set them back a few months because they moved most of the important shit to other locations? Remember how the DOD was pissed about it and kept going how it was just the media spreading fake news to discredit them?Yeah.
>>1468226Satellite images showed Iranians piling rocks on the entrances to their compound the same way ants do when they realize a deadly virus has destroyed the colony and their last actions are to bury the queen and workers alive to prevent the spread. Yeah, they totally unplugged their centrifuges and got them to all spin down, drained of all uranium-hexafluoride gasses, before the surprise stealth bombers trapped every scientist below the surface to a slow death à la mode Half life 1 by inhaling radioactive fluoride underground in the dark.While mainstream News is questionably trustworthy they legally have to obscure and lie about what the US military can achieve. Iran still hasn’t clapped back yet because that bombing strike was a multi-billion dollar reset for Iran. Look at the US original centrifuge program and now imagine 2 hungry B-2’s overhead.
>>1468228>. Iran still hasn’t clapped back yet because that bombing strike was a multi-billion dollar reset for Iran.It was also a multi billion dollar reset of the Israeli and US missile stockpile. Trump's going to end up spending all of the tariff revenue on missiles for Israel at this rate if Israel attacks again.
>>1468228Ok but Trump promised they wouldn't be able to strike again and here they are doing drills that signify they can do that just a few months later. Curious.
>>1468229>He thinks there's a limit to how many missiles the US and Israel haveAnon... please. The adults are talking. If we have to use one entire missile for every individual shitskin on the planet it'll still be a net victory. Spending money is not an issue for the West, it creates jobs and keeps people employed, which is why we don't ask questions every year when our governments spend even more money. They're doing God's work and there's no actual limit to the missiles. For every hundred they expend they'll pull two hundred more off the assembly line and stock them in a warehouse somewhere for the next batch of subhumans.
>>1468229>It was also a multi billion dollar reset of the Israeli and US missile stockpile.Uh source? Maybe that would be the case for Israel, but we only used 14 GBU-57A/B MOPs priced at $3.5 million per bomb. Expensive? To the average Joe, sure. But not even a fraction of what USAF spends on housing or chow.
>>1468470You left out the part where we pay to rearm the Iron Dome every time they use it.
>>1468474A) Which has nothing to do with the US bombing IranandB) Is a solid argument for why we should bomb Iran.
>>1468475>A) Which has nothing to do with the US bombing IranWho do you think they attack when we attack them? The last time this happened Jerusalem lost two high rises.>B) Is a solid argument for why we should bomb Iran.>weI mean we could do it, but then what are we giving Israel all that missile tech for if they just use them on Hezbollah? Either way Orange Uncle Sam will be busy wiring money to Lockheed for more missiles.
>>1468552>Who do you think they attack when we attack them? The last time this happened Jerusalem lost two high rises.The point... which I'm not surprised you missed... is the Iron Dome is a defensive system that has fuck all to do with attacking Iran. So I mean if you want to include a bunch of random shit that has nothing to do with the strike on Iran I guess we can talk about how much money Ukraine got while we're at it...>I mean we could do it, but then what are we giving Israel all that missile tech for if they just use them on Hezbollah?Since we're on the subject of the Iron Dome now....A) We can either keep giving Israel missiles so they can protect themselves from Iran constantly shooting at them or...B) We blow up Iran's launchers ourselves and save us the trouble of giving Israel missiles for their Iron Dome. Honestly I'm in favor of this option because Iran can't stop being a cunt. >b-but Israel muh palesti-Don't give a fuck. I - Don't - Give - A - Fuck.
>>1468576>Don't give a fuck. I - Don't - Give - A - Fuck.So why do we have to fund israel? Iran isn't bombing us and Israel isn't even an actual US ally.
>>1468578>So why do we have to fund israel?Several reasons and lots of history I don't feel like going into. td;dr we do a lot of business.>Iran isn't bombing us Oh my God you're retarded. Yes they constantly are. Here's just one article. https://washingtonmorning.com/2025/06/23/iran-strikes-u-s-base-in-iraq-with-one-missile/And when they're not doing it directly they're having terrorists they fund do it for them on some proxy shit. >and Israel isn't even an actual US ally.Here's a hypothetical for you to try out. Let's say the power dynamic was switched overnight and either Iran or Israel suddenly had the same military and nuclear power as the United States. Which nation would be more likely to attack us? The nation that already has fucking attacked us, that's constantly calling for our deaths, or the nation that hasn't (aside from some retardation with their navy). >nb4 jews did 9/11
>>1468588Yeah none of that is a concrete reason to throw this much support behind israel. Hell, the main reason Iran bombed our base is BECAUSE we've been supporting israel.
>>1468591That's your opinion. I disagree with it. And the fact that you admitted that Iran attacked us makes it very black and white who the enemy is.
>>1468594If they only attacked us because we've been donating millions to israel, then they wouldn't have a reason to if we, you know, stopped doing that.Your argument is literally 'uh hypothetically if Iran and Israel were both as strong as the US hypothetically Iran would attack us, that's why we need to donate another 50 billion in missiles to israel" as to why we should be giving this much to a country we don't even have an official alliance with.
>>1468599>If they only attacked us because we've been donating millions to israel,>ifThere you go with your assumption. This conversation has gone way off track, so to bring it back, Iran wants us dead and they want Israel dead so I'm not going to lose sleep because we spend less than $50 million bombing them because they keep trying to build nuclear facilities without our fucking permission. And the whole reason why I jumped in here is because you retards were crying about how we'll spend billions on missiles to blow up Iran when it's barely a mark on the USAF budget.
