Yes, the Coalition of Political Forces of Iranian Kurdistan—a newly formed alliance of several major Kurdish opposition groups (including KDPI/PDKI, Komala, PJAK, PAK, and others)—is actively opposing and seeking to undermine the current regime in Tehran.

This coalition was formally established in late February 2026 amid Iran's ongoing internal crisis, which includes widespread protests, the death of Supreme Leader Khamenei, escalating U.S.-Israeli military actions against Iranian targets, and signs of regime fragmentation.

Their explicit goals include:
The overthrow of the Islamic Republic.
Achieving self-determination for Kurds in Iranian Kurdistan (also called Eastern Kurdistan or Rojhelat).
Establishing a democratic administrative system in Kurdish-majority areas during any transitional period after regime collapse.

As per usual you start in the middle of the story, do better research... maybe like after WWII, further back even better.
Do you know how many Iranians were killed by Iraq, an American instigated funded war?

Oh right, cause let's see Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Syria (open slave markets) Afghanistan... yes we see an increase in the Gospel being preached in those countries and wow look at their functioning liberal open democracies.
The US destroyed Iran for oil, they caused this repressive regime.
I agree with your evaluation of history. It's not as black and white as you make out. The first Iraq war was entirely justified. And it was not only the USA that got involved. The problem as I see it is that few Americans have any idea of the culture of the Middle East. Most are tribal and have no interest in democracy. America was the third great power to crash and burn in Afghanistan.

America indeed opened the door to the present Iranian regime. Khomeini was living in Paris when the Shah was forced to leave. He promised a liberal regime and did exactly the opposite. Iran has been at war with America ever since. So this present war is America doing what it should have done decades ago.

The United Kingdom was one of the worst offenders, making deals with tribes and promises that they could not keep. France was not a lot better. No wonder the Middle East is suspicious of the West.

The difference now is that Iran is a threat to the whole world. Iran's Shia regime is religiously bound to destroy Israel. They are waiting for their version of Messiah (false of course) and it won't happen until Israel is destroyed.

Iran is not a Muslim majority country. It is not by nature hostile to the West or Israel. If you think that Iran's regime will not make and use nuclear weapons, you are kidding yourself. This war is an opportunity for a despotic regime to be replaced with something tolerant and without religious zealotry that threatens the world.

No doubt there are a lot of dubious motives behind all this. What matters is the end result. There is also no guarantee that Iran will become a freer nation. I am reasonably sure that there is a much better chance than Iraq or the other nations in the Middle East.

I am also concerned about the prospect of Turkey and/or ISIS taking advantage of Iran's weakness after the war ends. It's a mess and it should never have come to this. It is what it is. Millions of Iranians are celebrating, perhaps prematurely. However, they have much more reason for hope than they did a week ago.

Hope keeps people alive. Some young Iranians committed suicide because they saw no hope and no future except inside an Iranian prison. May God bring down every despot the world over. There are way too many and God's people suffer terribly at their hands.
 
Yeah well, they do not force prophecy to happen through back room deals, planned wars, false flags and corruption, they wait just like the much maligned Jews who never and still do not, support "the return."
Yeah well Jewish migration to Israel has increased since the 7th October attacks. Seems odd. Perhaps the vile victim blaming and tolerance of Muslim hatred has something to do with it. Many Jews are entirely secular. You'd think that a basically Jewish city like New York would reject a Muslim mayor. It seems that the World Trade centre attack has been forgotten.

There were 800,000 Jews in Israel in 1948. There are now 8 million. That's about half the world's Jewish population. The birth rate does not account for all of that.

Israel is not some kind of paradise either. Life is tough in a country surrounded by enemies. There has been some reverse migration also. Hardly surprising when the country is permanently on a war footing.
 
I would add a 4th step. Assist and arm those in Gulf countries who want to overthrow the family monarchies ruling over them, like Bahrain which is 60-70% shia.

If you choose to be the head cheerleader for Iran, Russia and China, that would be your decision.

But I must say that I cannot fathom why.

It's what liberals do.

They frequently get in touch with their inner communist


I keep hearing the pro-Iran pundits stridently postulating about how Iran has been planning and preparing for war with Israel and US for 40 years blah blah blah.

Did these dear leaders also plan to get wiped out in the first 24 hours? And their sons and families?

Their acolytes and street level goon squad killers are fleeing like rats evidently. I hope the Iranian freedom fighters know their whereabouts. And Israeli spy assets embedded within.

Clearly the Lord is in this to protect Israel and the US will experience blessing as long as we stand with Israel. Part of that blessing is hilarious comedy watching the liberal clown show as they lose their minds. Quite comical although sad too since they are on their way to hell.

I've heard prophesies about end times destruction of islam and I don't think they meant islam would go away altogether but would be greatly decreased in strength and ability to make war.

shia islam faction seems to want to destroy the world were the sunni faction seems to be less inclined to kill everyone they possible can.

Best to get it over with sooner. Later is suicidal for all parties including the rest of the middle east.

Iran is enemy #1 at this point. It poses an existential threat to Israel, and a poisonous influence on the entire region. The despotic tyrannical regime must end, now, no excuses, no holding back, no half measures.
 
You guys are pathetic. So drunk on war and violence, you serve the enemies who are destroying the country you claim to love thinking you are being patriotic

Or, if the liberals were in charge they're sit by and allow Iran to develop nukes and the long range missiles they would need to be able to deliver nuke to the US

What the liberals don't understand that preventing a problem is always better than trying to clean up a problem.

We can have a conventional war not and put Iran down, or we can be in the receiving end of nuclear warfare once Iran gets their nukes which of course was what the liberals were hoping for.

Liberals want the earth depopulated so they are all for nuclear war.



Come back when you find some truth.

Don't hold your breath


both sides of the aisle support this war.

No, I noticed Yahoo news (uber liberal) is claiming the majority of Americans are rooting for Iran

Of course they only poll other liberals - which is probably a euphemism for something since liberals like to get all kinky and stuff.

🚨🇮🇷 IRAN FIRED EVERYTHING IT HAD AT THE GULF... HERE'S HOW EACH COUNTRY HELD UP

Interception rates from the Iranian retaliatory barrages:

🇶🇦 Qatar: ~97%

🇦🇪 UAE: ~93% (heaviest volume, 871 total threats)

🇯🇴 Jordan: ~90%+

🇰🇼 Kuwait: High (380 total threats, near-total intercept)

🇧🇭 Bahrain: High (some base damage)

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia: Limited data, successful blocks reported

🇴🇲 Oman: Limited attacks, some penetrations

These countries absorbed the largest Iranian missile barrage in history and held the line with 90%+ interception rates across the board.

Iran emptied its arsenal and the region is still standing.

The Gulf defenses exceeded expectations.
 
That is exactly the core of modern SEAD/DEAD (Suppression/Destruction of Enemy Air Defenses) doctrine. In a high-stakes scenario involving a B-52, the bomber isn't just a target—it's often the "bait" or the heavy hitter in a coordinated trap.


As of early 2026, this is how the U.S. would likely execute the "Seek and Destroy" mission you’re describing:


1. The B-52 as the "S-300 Magnet"​


You hit the nail on the head: an "idiot" (or simply an aggressive) radar operator who stays active too long is a dead one.


  • The Trap: The B-52, with its massive radar signature, essentially "dares" the Iranian S-300 or Bavar-373 to turn on its tracking radar.
  • The Reaction: The moment an Iranian radar "pings" the B-52, specialized sensors on F-35s or EA-18G Growlers (which are flying stealthily nearby or jamming from a distance) instantly triangulate the exact GPS coordinates of that radar dish.

2. Rapid Response: Stealth vs. Radars​


You mentioned the F-35s and F-22s acting rapidly. In 2026, this is done through Sensor Fusion:


  • AARGM-ER (Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile): This is the "sniper rifle" of the mission. Once the Iranian radar emits a signal, an F-35 can launch an AARGM-ER from its internal bay. The missile is supersonic and "remembers" where the radar was, even if the operator panics and turns the radar off.
  • JASSM-ER: While the fighters are killing the "eyes" (radars), the B-52 stays hundreds of miles away and launches a swarm of stealthy JASSM-ER cruise missiles. These missiles follow the terrain (like the Zagros Mountains) and hit the actual missile launchers and command centers.

3. Recent 2026 Context: "Operation Epic Fury"​


Reports from early 2026 (like the recent strikes involving B-2s and B-52s in the region) show that the U.S. prioritizes "blinding" the regime in the first hours.


  • Layered Defense Failure: Iran has tried to "layer" their S-300s with home-grown Bavar-373 systems. However, real-world data suggests these "hybrid" setups struggle when hit with simultaneous cyber-attacks, electronic jamming, and stealth strikes.




  • The "Burn-Through" Risk: If the Iranian operator is smart, they stay "dark" (radar off) as long as possible. But the U.S. now uses MALD (Decoys)—small drones launched by the B-52 that look like B-52s on radar—to trick the operator into revealing their position.

Summary of the "Seek and Destroy" Loop​


  1. Detect: B-52/Decoys lure the S-300 into "lighting up."
  2. Locate: F-35s/Growlers instantly "fix" the radar's location via electronic emissions.




  1. Neutralize: Growlers jam the signal so the S-300 can't get a "lock" on the B-52.
  2. Destroy: F-35s fire AARGM-ERs to kill the radar; B-52 fires JASSM-ERs to level the base.

The ADM-160 MALD (Miniature Air-Launched Decoy) is not just a passive "reflector"—it is a small, autonomous, jet-powered unmanned aircraft.


It doesn't just sit there; it behaves exactly like a real plane to trick the enemy. Here is how it "flies" and why it’s so effective:


1. It Has Its Own Jet Engine​


The MALD is powered by a miniature turbojet engine (the Pratt & Whitney TJ-150).


  • Speed: It flies at high subsonic speeds (around Mach 0.9), matching the cruise speed of a B-52 or an F-16.




  • Range: It can fly for about 500 miles (900 km).




  • Endurance: It can stay in the air for up to 90 minutes, allowing it to "loiter" over a target area to keep Iranian radars busy while the real strike team moves in.




2. It Can "Shape-Shift" on Radar​


The most brilliant part of the MALD is its Signature Augmentation Subsystem (SAS).


  • The Illusion: Physically, the MALD is only about 9 feet long. However, its electronics can manipulate radar waves to make it appear as large as a B-52 or as small as an F-117 stealth fighter on an enemy’s screen.




  • The Behavior: It follows a pre-programmed flight path with up to 256 waypoints. It can bank, climb, and descend just like a pilot would, making it nearly impossible for a radar operator to distinguish it from a real threat until it’s too late.




3. The B-52's "Pocket Army"​


The B-52 is the ultimate "mother ship" for these decoys. While a fighter like the F-16 might carry 2 or 4 MALDs, a single B-52 can carry up to 16.


  • In a mission against Iran, two B-52s could launch 32 MALDs toward different air defense sectors.
  • To an Iranian S-300 operator, the screen would suddenly look like a massive, coordinated invasion force of 30+ heavy bombers.

4. MALD-J: The Jammer Variant​


Most MALDs used today are the MALD-J (Jammer) version.


  • Dual Purpose: It still acts as a decoy, but once it gets close to the Iranian radar, it turns on its own internal jammer.




  • "Stand-in" Jamming: Unlike a Growler which jams from a distance, the MALD-J flies right into the "face" of the radar, blinding it from point-blank range before it is eventually shot down or runs out of fuel.
  • Fun Fact: The U.S. considers it a "success" if a MALD gets shot down. Every $300,000 decoy that is destroyed by an Iranian S-300 missile (which costs over $1 million) is a win—it wastes the enemy’s limited ammo and reveals exactly where their launcher is hidden.

Iran is outwitted with VASTLY superior tech and tactics, outmatched, outgunned and out of ammo.

They are for all intents and purposes......doomed.

Iran is long on missiles stockpiled in bunkers. But short on cave exits, launch vehicle trucks, and roads. Having the missiles is one thing. Getting them on trucks out of the tunnels onto a road and moved to position is a suicide mission.

Eventually intel will get wise to every tunnel and road and route. Then comes the turkey shoot.
 
Which of course is why taking Iran down had to be done because if they had nukes, the entire middle east would be toast by now
What I find amazing is that all of these ME attack victim nations have yet to join together to fight the Iranian aggressors!

In any other country these attacks would undoubtedly constitute causus belli for a declaration of war.
