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

[VCheng]

You mean because Iran is the only country in the world who is against Israel.

Nobody would have any problems at all with Iran, if Iran bent over to Israel like the rest of the Muslim world.

Iran has every right as a sovereign nation to decide on its policies, whatever they might be.

All I am saying is that one against so many is not a good position, geopolitically, no matter how moral and brave and righteous and justified and zealous one might be.

With any decision come attached the consequences thereof, good and bad.

I consider his post to be AI simply from looking at it.

Why? I met this guy just yesterday.

Now imagine, that tenant is not there, and the room is empty, but you've thrown a brick through the window anyway because they were there previously.

Yeah?

What dafuq the now destroyed AN/FPS-132 radar, or the THAAD sites ( in UAE and Qatar - pictures got released by CNN itself ) were doing in gulf?

Giving early warning to Martian ETs?

Likely bot comments applied to game the algorithm as well as deceive the readers.

But its true that many Gulfies are this arrogant and shallow. They are still in shock they are being held accountable for the first time for all the death and destruction their collaboration with the US has rained upon Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, Sudan, Afghanistan, Pakistan etc.

Without a doubt. Thus why I don't take anything posted on X seriously. Don't subscribe to TikTok nor Instagram. Imagine those are as bad or worse.

Agreed as far as Jordan is concerned.

GCC countries are not even in the path of Iran to Israel missile strikes except KSA. So they possibly cannot hit any Iranian missile going towards Israel.

As far as US bases are concerned, GCC specifically told US to not use their country's bases. This is most what they can do given their strength. They cannot kick out americans out of their country. Every country wants sanction-free and powerful economy. Nobody wants to end up like Venezuela, so there are very limited choices with these countries themselves. Even relatively powerful countries like Turkey, South Korea, Japan and many others have US bases. Not necessarily all these countries want to host US bases but they will have very tough future if any country goes stands against US hegemony. Remember, Pakistan provided supply route and airspace and possible an airbase against US operations against Taliban 1.0. Considering the fact that Taliban 1.0 was staunch ally of Pakistan. But we had no choice but to assist United States in its massacre despite us being nuclear power.

You contradict yourself when you claim GCC has no choice but to host US bases but at the same time this GCC can tell the US not use those bases ? That makes no sense. These bases exist for only two reasons, to allow the US to project more power in the region and in exchange the US will protect the Gulf rulers.

Of course these bases have been used by the US to either directly attack someone like Iraq or Iran or to support attacks by American allies like the GCC/Israel on Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen , Afghanistan etc.

What happened this time to disturb this neat little arrangement going back 50 plus years is the Gulfies faced retaliation for hosting these US bases, and the US also broke its promise to protect Gulf rulers. Instead the US imposed a war on the region for the sake of Israel and is only defending Israel. There will be major repurcussions from this.

Where the traitors in Iran coming from if Iran is the only ANti-Israel country in world?

 

[VCheng]

With what?

Iran does have formidable missile resources.

 

[Meengla]

I think the word 'war' means (for him) ground attacks using tanks, artillery, infantry etc., Strictly air operations have generally been described as not 'war'. This is, of course, just semantic jugglery. For Johnson, it may also give a fig leaf of defense against being called unconstitutional. That way, all of Vietnam war should be described as 'operation' since there was no formal Congressional authorization! NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999 was never called 'war' though it lasted 3 months.

Ahh, the Congressional authorizations! Fig leaf as it may be, the Democrats just tried that to try to put some brake on Trump against Iran. We saw what happened: All except one Republican Senator thwarted the motion even though all except one Democratic Senator supported the motion.
Trump is the emperor: The House, the Senate, the Presidency and the Supreme Court. As long as I can remember, never seen such power in an American administration.
The world, especially the Middle East, has rough almost 3 years ahead with Netanyahu and Trump in offices.

This is BS though, because Iran dares to resist against US hegemony now, so if all Arab countries take on the side of Iran and chase out the US, what can the US do? Nuke all Islamic countries? That would immediately spell their end because it will be a Jihad and they can never restore any relations they have with a Muslim World now fired for Nuclear Revenge.

Ask Turkey and Pakistan first to assist Iran before expecting small militaries of Gulf to go suicidal mode and stand up against US control of the region.

Let's say you are amir of Qatar. What options you really have? Stand up against America ? A drone may eliminate you and your brother would be made Amir instantly. Your brother will see a live example of what happens when you cross the line. Regime changes in last 5-6 years are in front of us including in Pakistan.

Why Pakistan gave airspace, supply route to US forces when it started massacre in Afghanistan from 2001 ?

GCC cannot kick out american bases. Its not in their power.

BTW, Iran likes to have those bases in the GCC. As it gives Iran lot of targets to hit. Imagine if there was no US base in the region. What Iran would have been striking ?? That's why Iran is not demaning GCC countries to kick out US bases. Iran knows its a leverage it incase of any conflict.

If I were them, I'd risk it.

Sure I might be offed by them, but at least it will spark a revolution by the people to hammer in a new regime or constitution to make it illegal for the country to host any foreign military bases no matter the need or reason.

Once the "no foreign bases" becomes a part of the constitution and Law, little the US can do to stop it because it's now part of the country's institution and system.

Case is Malaysia. We may have some relations or joint exercises with the US military for formality, but we don't have a formal alliance nor do we let them set up bases inside Malaysia unlike Singapore.

Gulf states can be sovereign countries like Malaysia while still not allowing their land to host any foreign bases, US or not.
