At the end of the day unless US tanks are doing thunder runs in central Tehran the regime wont fall. Hundreds of thousands of regime forces are just going to go back to their homes, along with their weapons.

I am genuinely impressed by what Iran has achieved so far with a defense budget of just 10 billion.

How do you even intercept cluster bombs unless you take out the missile very early in its midcourse ?

Why does it looks like they burn to dust before impact?

Bomblet? Is that like a newborn bomb?

This killed a foreign worker in central Israel, another such cluster missile killed 4 Palestinian women in the west bank in a parlor just a little earlier. Obviously it’s a completely random type of attack.

Thats what happens when a mommy bomb and a daddy bomb love eachother.

Has there ever been any known interception of a missile in it’s boost phase ever in entire history of missile defense?
If not then I guess it’s quite hard to intercept these especially after they release there payload

Look I’m not saying this isn’t a cluster munition. It’s just every video I’ve seen like this is short and doesn’t show the dispersal nor the impact. I’m still not convinced these aren’t interceptions and burning debris. And my most critical question: Why would each cluster munition be glowing? Intercepted debris makes sense, it’s all burning, but i can’t think of any reason why bomblets would be glowing individually like this. It’s not like they’re each powered by individual rocket motors or something. So why the glow?
Again, want to state this clearly so I don’t get downvoted to hell, I’m not saying it isn’t one, I’m just skeptical with taking someone’s word for it who isn’t an expert (and I’m not either) and if anyone has better footage or evidence that this is in fact what it is I’ll happily accept that

They aren’t bomblets. MIRVs aren’t the same kind of cluster bombs that the U.S and Israel drop on civilians, they are guided missiles that split off into smaller guided missiles that aren’t indiscriminate.
The United States, Israel and Iran are not signatories to the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM).
If you ever hear people complaining about this, ESPECIALLY Israelis and Americans – please remind them of the fact that the United States has used the most cluster munitions over the past 100 years by a significant margin. With Israel coming in second.
The U.S have used over 100,000 cluster bombs and several hundred million individual bomblets in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Gulf War, Vietnam war, Korean war and others.
Israel used >4.6 million submunitions in just the 2006 Lebanon war alone, and have used them repeatedly in Gaza conflicts (2008-09, 2014, 2021, 2023+)
In other words, I’ll worry about Iran’s use of MIRVs when the amount of destruction caused comes even remotely close to that of what’s been dished out by America and Israel.
