Daylam invades Iran under popular pressure

----Alamut, headquarters of the Daylami government---



"Imam, every day the protests grow in number and get even more violent. If we delay any longer, we will be overthrown by our own people. We must move against the infidel coalition."

"General Sabbah, you have served me for many years loyally. We would be thoroughly defeated if we attempted war on the Western Asian-led coalition. We are only a small nation, as you well know, Sabbah."

"I am aware lord. Nader ad-Din and Sala Bakr, my two sub-commanders, are poised on our western and eastern borders for our surprise attack on Iran. Perhaps we could declare war only on Iran, leaving out its allies in our war."

"A fine idea. It is our only choice. The Ismaili sect must survive. As much as it pains me, and with the great risk we are taking, our credibility must remain intact. Iran has attempted to identify with Western powers, has rejected their Shiite government, even allied with Muslim enemies. It will not be hard to find justification for a jihad. Go, begin our surprise attack.
What is the state of the Iranian army?"

" In a prolonged war, their overwhelming numerical advantage could probably pull them head. However, all we need to do is gain credibility, then withdraw from the war after a few quick losses. Our strategy can be compared to the Japanese when they fought the Russians. The great majority of Iranian forces are along the Iraqi border. We will effectively be ramming a high-tech and determined army right in their backyard.
The western province troops are in poor shape, the positions undermanned and vulnerable. Tehran, on the eastern front, is guarded only by few measly armored and infantry divisions. The first stage will be a cakewalk. It is when the Iranians finally get their units turned around that we need worry. I do not plan for the war to go that far."

"See that it does not, Sabbah. You have my blessing, and may Allah be with our forces."


With that, Commander-In-Chief Hassan Sabbah ordered his two sub-commanders Nader ad-Din and Sala Bakr to being their assault.


On the western front, Sala Bakr watched as 60,000 men, riding in type 96 ATVs or K-30 AA vehicles, or on foot with AK-47s or Milan antitank missile launchers poured across the Perso-Daylami border. The first encounters with Iranian forces ended in easy victory as the UH-60J multipurpose helicopters mowed down the poorly armed and poorly supported understrength Iranian regiments. The few tanks they encountered were easily disabled. Ardabil province had fallen into Daylami hands.

On the eastern front, Nader ad-Din sat in the middle of a little more fierce fighting. Iranian armored divisions, equipped with a few T-72s but largely made up of more out-of-date tanks faced off with Daylami type 88 K1 main battle tanks. The run-down Iranian armor was eventually destroyed as F-15J fighters along with Milan antitank missiles joined the K1s in their destruction of the Iranian armor. The incredibly small Iranian air force had no chance as F-15Js flew attacks over Tehran as Daylami armored divisions prepared to storm the Iranian capital.

Subject: Unprovoked invasion of Iran

Whilst the Dominion of Juumanistra has a policy of not sticking its nose into other nations affairs, we are concerned about your little adventure into Iran. The long and the short of it is that we will not to have Iran overran. We demand Daylam immediately cease hostilities and withdraw back across the border.

With Ardabil province under Daylami infantry control, Sala Bakr received 20,000 reinforcements along and 25 more UH-60Js. With the go ahead from General Sabbah, he began the second phase of the Western Campaign, with an invasion of Eastern Azerbayejan province. His army found the Iranians in much the same state as Ardabil province. The rabble was swept aside in the momentum of the Daylami attack. UH-60Js were sent ahead into West Azerbayejan province to prepare for the final step before Daylam's war machine wheeled southwards.


Meanwhile, Nader ad-Din had reduced the northern sector of Tehran to rubble as K1 tanks, F-15Js, and howitzers pounded the remaining defenders. Iranian infantry and armored divisions were understrength, their equipment in a poor state and very old. ad-Din gave the order as the Daylami army stormed into Tehran, the small arms fire being silenced as 105mm shells pounded the areas it came from until all was silent.

OOC: Juumanistra, that was a private conversation between the ruler of Daylam and his Commander-In-Chief. You could not have known of it.

[OOC: Come now; yes, it was private, but it's safe to assume that the Daylami press hammed up the invasion, isn't it? Especially if it the public was pressing for it. I'd say it's fair to say it came up eventually in a column that was run to have a phrase similar to it run.]

OOC: The Daylami government maintains a strict censorship over the Daylami press. That information would be heavily guarded, though it could be assumed, Daylam would furiously reject it was so.

We are not sure what Ayur is referring. We are Muslims, just as you. Iran has rejected their Shiite government and supported the Western devils. This cannot be tolerated by Daylam any longer.

As for you Juumanistra, we would like to inquire why you feel the need to involve yourselves in our affairs. Iran has betrayed the Book and Islam, and they will be dealt with. Far from overruning Iran, we are serving merely as knife cut to Iran to set them on the right track.

Meanwhile, in an apparent international middle finger to the protesting nations, armored and airborne divisions under Nader ad-Din have defeated the last remnants of the Iranian infantry and armored divisions defending Tehran. As the procession of Daylami military might moved through Tehran's main street, the citizens of Tehran flocked out to show their support for the Daylami attack on the hypocritical Iranian government.

Meanwhile, Sala Bakr had finished the conquest of East Azerbayejan province, with minimal losses. His infantry and helicopter divisions continued their unstoppable attack right into West Azerbayejan province, where the Iranian forces had not had time to prepare or mobilize. The important Iranian city of Tabriz was taken, and with the conquest of W. Azerbayejan province Daylam had gained borders with Turkey and Azerbaijan.

---Private conversation


"How goes the war, Sabbah?"

"Very well Aga Khan, Ardabil, East Azerbayejan, and the all-important Tehran province have all fallen to our lightning attack. West Azerbayejan is almost conquered."

"How can we proceed from here, General?"

"Well, every day as our successes are announced crowds can been seen flocking, their love and trust in the Aga Khan and Daylam restored. From here we should seek to bring the Iranians to terms, gaining as much territory as possible in the settlement. With 3 of their provinces conquered and their capital city occupied, Iranian morale is in the pits. We cannot let them regain spirit or momentum. We should to destroy the Iranian forces piece by piece until they come to terms."

"You have my blessing. Your strategy is good. You may leave."

"Thank you, Aga Khan."

The Republic of Ozymandias IV notes with concern the recent military actions Daylam is conducting within Iran.

We strongly suggest that Daylam cease its hostile actions within the Islamic Republic of Iran. Failure to immediately halt combat operations will result in very serious sanctions on Daylam.

The Republic does not condone these actions and since the Islamic Republic of Iran is a strategic trading partner of the Republic, we view these attacks as a direct attack upon our own national interests.

Our ambassador will be available should you wish to discuss this matter further. However, no discussions shall take place until combat operations within Iran cease.

Hattia condemns the unprovoked attack on Iran. We request that all troops are removed from Iran. We will not send troops at this time (As we have none to send.) but we still request that you leave all the same.

In light of Daylam's intrigance and flaunting of the warnings issued by the international community, Juumanistra's First and Second Expedtionary Forces, composed of some some 60,000 combat troops, and the whole of the Juumanistran Third Fleet have been deployed to the Persian Gulf to resolve the situation.

Sometime later...

As dawn broke over the port of Chabahar, Juumanistran landing craft were already steaming into the harbor. Their advance was preceded by a cursory bombardment from sea-based artillery and carrier forces, sweeping away what minimal Daylami presence may have been in the city. During the bombardment, the 437th Aerial Brigade parachuted in and succeeded in capturing the docks and secured the city. Paving the way for the landing of the Second Expeditionary Force later in the day.

Further up the Gulf, a more intense bombardment began of Abadon on the Shatt al-Arab. 48 B-1B Lancer bombers and 96 RF-34 Hammerheads, under cover of another 60 RF-31 Makos and in conjunction with 250 sea-launched cruise missiles, pounded Daylami formations in and around the city. As the city was under siege from the air, the First Marine Division storms the Shatt al-Arab and the city itself, securing enough of the docks to facilitate the landing of the First Expeditionary Force.

Concurrently...

Title: Final warning

As we speak Juumanistran forces are moving to stop the Daylami invasion. We implore you to cease hostilities and return to the pre-war borders before Juumanistran and Daylami fully meet. We are not responsible for the consequences after that occurs.

The Czar condemns the attacks, but will do nothing at the moment due to his. . .unfavorable position towards Muslims, but due to his EXTREME hatred of the radicals, will protect Iran if necessary.
