Iran Foreign Policy and Doctrine

[hyperman]

To some extent I agree, but press tv will not exactly be readily available. Israel is heavily censored. Press tv is not even allowed in must western capitals, much less in a propagandized and brainwashed society like israel.

Its not going to do any damage, I just doubt its utility. We will see i guess.

internet, its not supposed to be on tv in Israel, they would never allow it, it would be streamed online, and clips from the hebrew coverage would spread online on the internet via various platforms.

I meant that in some western countries you can not even access presstv online. Not so easily. I suppose there are ways around it with vpn and what not.

The clips get reposted and go viral.

I hope we are making very clear behind the scenes what will happen to Dubai's fancy towers and Abu Dhabi's oil and gas and Qatar's gas fields if they try anything funny.

25 million populated PGCC is threatening our Islands. Arabified muzlim leaders in IRI should counter claim Bahrain, UAE at least or hit targets there when Israel attacks. Their economies and infrastructure are sensitive.

This issue requires a firm diplomatic and military stance and the IRI has neither. They are an international pariah so any claim they make will get shut down even in global legal bodies.

Militarily we have been weakened by Israel and we are in no position to fight the entire PGCC. That would put a massive strain on the country. Its simply unwise.

Bahrain is a separate matter altogether. It was already fully Arabized during Mohammad Reza Shahs time and they have no cultural affinity with Iran anymore.

The best option is to pursue it through diplomatic channels even if the IR has almost zero diplomatic weight left.

our military situation relative to these PGCC countries is much better than our situation relative to Israel

the single biggest difference is that our SRBMs have good accuracy for tactical level operations, and this totally changes everything

we had to fire 200 missiles to hit 5-6 buildings in Israel in TP2. these PGCC countries lack the air defences of Israel and any missile that gets through has a > 50% chance of hitting the target accurately. not to mention SRBMs are obviously cheaper and easier to produce in bigger numbers.

PGCC also haven't infiltrated Iran with spies to conduct covert operations to destroy key radar / AD sites in advance of sending air force.

You think IR suddenly becomes a superpower the moment the opponent isnt Israel. Thats not how reality works. The entire PGCC air force combined would put the IRGC-AF on its knees in days. Look at their inventory. Its public information.

They will dominate the skies exactly the same way Israel did. No difference. The IRIAF/IRGCAF wont even get a chance to breathe.

And about the SRBMs. These PGCC countries are plugged directly into the US military network and the US will intercept those missiles with destroyers, land based AD systems and whatever else they need. The moment things reach a tipping point you will see the US moving military assets into the region to protect them.

Since Iran is facing the PGCC countries directly the US and PGCC would have zero obstacles reaching Iran. Unlike Israel they dont need to fly over several countries just to get close. They are literally right across the water with a straight shot at every major target within Iran.

So the bottom line is this ; even if Iran faced the PGCC alone the situation already heavily favors the PGCC. Their air forces would dominate the skies and dictate the entire course of the war.

But the real problem is....you actually think the US is going to sit back and let these wealthy Arab economies get chewed up by IRGC missiles. Wrong. The second things get serious the US steps in directly and once the US is involved its over.

Lets say IR starts firing missiles at tall Arab buildings and somehow the US stays out of it. Even then the US only needs to do one thing to tilt the entire balance in the PGCCs favor: Intelligence sharing.

The US already has Irans air defense layout mapped from years of satellite imaging... surveillance flights and monitoring. They have the locations, capabilities, and weaknesses of Irans radar sites, SAM coverage, early warning systems, and air bases.

Thats why I keep saying IR has no chance here. I honestly dont understand why people fall into the same IR propaganda loop over and over again. Just a few months ago the IR got humbled and now suddenly people are back to thinking IR can somehow walk out victorious in any war.

Yes, IR will manage to wreak havoc and disrupt their economies but at what cost to Iran? The latter is very very important.

the entire Arab coalition couldn't stop Houthis firing missiles at them after several years and all the US intelligence and military assistance in the world, they're not going to stop Iran firing missiles

air defences don't grow on trees, the US already used a large proportion of interceptors defending Israel, it isn't going to do the same thing for UAE

these countries don't have ALBMs or sabotage assets inside Iran or multi layered ABM shields. totally different story

If you attack the PGCC, expect to be attacked back by the US. It's not the same as striking back against "israel" after being attacked first.

UAE alone could probably do it. People rightly say the US can turn off their air force with a push of a button, but they're sure as he'll not going to do that for Iran's sake. If they really wanted to, they could buy a couple battalions of Sudanese mercs and take the Tonbs under their own air cover. There is very little Iran can do to militarily contest it other than launching missiles at their cities.
