Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

[Bengal71]

no, you really overestimate their toys, ok i can concede that they can make 1,2,3,4,5 air sorties and then what when all american logistic is preserved for them self and jews heck they are even taking AD from far east to prop up jews and you expect that gulfies mount offensive on Iran with their heads naked and with short term logistic capabilities, please get serious.

Gulfies getting involved can be brought to their knees very easily by Iran. KSA and UAE will starve to death and their expat population will leave the countries if their desalination plants are hit. 42% of UAE drinking water comes from desalination, rest comes from ground water which is also brackish. Similar deal with Saudi. 85%+ population of UAE is expat and 44% of KSA population is expat. If expats leave, there will be nothing called UAE.

Dar also noted Pakistan’s Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement with Saudi Arabia, saying Pakistan told Iran to “please keep that in mind”.

“They (Iran) asked for some assurances,” he said, stating that Tehran asked for reassurances that Saudi “soil should not be used”.

“I got them the assurances,” Dar said, noting the “minimal reaction” on Iran’s part against Saudi Arabia and Oman.

“I am grateful they were able to understand my point, and in accordance with that, we secured assurances for them,” the minister said.

Netanyahu has bit more than he can chew. He knows the American public is turning on him and Israel and so is the rest of the world including Europeans. That’s why he is desperate to bring Indians in the mix but that will be there greatest folly as bringing Indians to the mix will bring China and Pakistan against them, which will not bode well for them

Indians to the mix for what exactly? Will Indians fight for them or can give them weapons? Negative. Indians are useless.

Peace is never achieved through negotiation. I hope our Iranian friends will internalize this principle.

If I were an Iranian commander, I would use significant military force to attack the following locations:

1. All infrastructure within Israel: desalination plants, power plants and hubs, oil facilities and pipelines, key transportation hubs, etc.

2. All of Israel's border walls. Regardless of whether the bordering regions are friendly with Israel, I would strive to breach all the separation barriers.

I would use a small number of hypersonic missiles to symbolically attack Israeli military bases, government centers, and other highly defended locations. I would not attack any civilian areas.

If any other country helps Israel intercept my missiles and UAVs aimed at Israel, I will attack that country's infrastructure.

The problem is if Iran attacks Israeli economic interests, powerplants then the Israelis/Americans will do the same, they will completely destroy Iranian economy and ports. The regime may do this as a last resort if they believe its all over but no doubt Iranian leadership will be hoping for de-escalation, just like last time. Israel/Usa will only stop once their objectives are achieved which is to destroy 90% of the missiles, factories etc. But the war will not stop, Israel will come back again after a few months and continue to destroy Iranian military, all until it collapses like Syria and Iraqi armies. Saddam Iraq could not build his army for over a decade and Syria under Assad faced Israeli attacks for decades in order to keep their army weak.

This is where you would be VERY wrong.

Iran is holding back on these GCC countries relative to what it can do to them. Given how close these GCC countries, esp UAE are, Iran can incur a lot more damage than it is doing now. For now, and for the most part the attacks are actually small with the bulk focussed on American interests. Any escalation by the GCC would change that equation and cost the GCC a lot more than they can impose on Iran in return. It is the calculus of cost/reward, and right now that is on keeping out of it is worth more than getting involved - beyond token things like Qatar "apparently" did yesterday ( imho ).

The other issue is of optics, do the GCC leaders wont to be seen as fighting alongside Israel against Iran ?

Israel media blackout proves its getting beating.

About 20% of Israeli population is Arab descent. Then there are the Arabs/Palestinian in the West Bank and they are a majority there. Israel is small and so not much is hidden there and Israel has great internet / cyber infrastructure.
So why are not seeing more footage by average people in that region on social media? I am curious, not disputing or agreeing with you post.

The slowing rate of fire at Israel are indications of only two things, that either Iranians have lost their missiles or launchers, or that background diplomacy is under way.

or they want to continue these short barages for months

Personally, I don’t like Ishaq Dar at all, but he has done a good job here and for that I appreciate him. We must, at all costs, prevent a clash between Iran and Saudi Arabia. Israel also wants the GCC to start fighting with Iran. But Pakistan should make every effort to ensure that attacks on Saudi soil do not come from Iran, and likewise Iran should not attack Saudi Arabia. Pakistan should act as a guarantor to stop this. Good job, Ishaq Dar.

China's leadership is similar to the Iranian leadership in many aspects, too conservative to make a major move.

But I do understand their concern as well, because they are worried that Iran will agree another ceasefire with the US, then tell the US how China has supported from behind.

Iran's reformists have sold out China once with Huawei, and China sees that the reformist influence is still strong in Iran, and they are afraid of getting sold out again by those reformists.

The Americans already know everything and it makes no difference to China, what is the Usa going to do about it. China also supports many other nations including Russia.
