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

He needs to talk with sensitivity about the alliance, but for sure avoid keeping addressing Pakistan's nuclear arsenal in the interview. That is the subject even the Pakistani govt and political commentators avoid talking about in the media or on social media.



This is embarrassing from the Saudis , this is not how you address a fellow friend country. It’s pure arrogance by them. I think the Pakistanis need to make it crystal clear to Saudi u need this defence pact so behave or else!!!
 
Are you naive or uninformed?

Gulf states have been spreading their salafi extremist ideology for decades through massive funding to seminaries and through scholars since decades.

That was when I was 30ish. Now I'm 55. A lot of water flowed under the bridges. The world has moved on, and so should we.
 
Because they chose development over confrontation with neighbours? Perhaps they have seen plenty of nations trying that and being unsuccessful.

The GCC was never sufficiently equipped to engage in confrontations with any neighboring states, as they lacked the essential resource highly valued by great powers — human lives. Had they been in a position similar to Iran's, geography and population, they, too, would have acted in their interests.

I would correct your one statement, certain GCC nations have formed militants or supported existing ones with arms and a flood of money, as in Sudan, Syria, and elsewhere. They've hosted outsiders, with nefarious motives to destabilize the region over the last decades.

The only saving grace is that they've never been sanctioned or hit in the wallet, which has kept their ego intact.
 
Wasn't there a missile/air strike between Iran and Pakistan some time back? I think the relations are somewhat less than cordial. If things go bad for Saudi Arabia, Pakistan is treaty bound to help KSA.
Not a thread to discuss but wasn’t the treaty bilateral? Did sauris involve in Afghanistan?

The world has, they havent. As I said, either you are too naive or simply uninformed. The money from Gulf never stopped pouring into these extremist seminaries and associated groups.
 
Sorry! it goes both ways...last year we were fighting India - where was KSA?

why so apologetic...they did not help us defend - why we would go defend them?
Iran thraad!

Please Get back on topic.
 
Zionists are having a meltdown about the Iranian Kheybar Shekan ballistic missile attacks on Occupied Palestine. How sweet!

Conclusion?

China has probably never had a better chance of attacking Taiwain succesfully than now:

1. No US carriers are available in south China sea area.

2. US Ammunition and interceptor levels are low and non existent(at worst soon).
3.US military is preoccupied with the war against Iran and its ME infrastructure is damaged and will need years to restore back to full capacity.

If China waits for some more years to attack Taiwain,and it loses that ensuing war, its China's fault
Another example of non-Chinese people desperately wanting China to invade Taiwan, even though China doesn't seem the need for it.
 
Looks like Trump is starting to realize he has no leverage over Iran?

I think Iran is holding back MASSIVELY now. If they want they can sink carriers, destroy Israeli desalination plants, but held back due to fearing enemy Nukes.

But now Iran can use that as a leverage to demand the Epstein people to stop this war, or risk further escalation. At one point Iran may need to test and build nukes for deterrence if they still don't abandon the talk of regime change or the practice of assassinating leaders.
 
Because they chose development over confrontation with neighbours? Perhaps they have seen plenty of nations trying that and being unsuccessful.
GCC chose internal development alongwith collaboration with the West to undermine everyone around them. They have been the beneficiaries of all the wars and intrigues the West has engaged in the region going back 50 plus years. That was also the main flaw in the GCC approach, the fires they kept stoking in the neighborhood eventually reached their houses.

Well, unfortunately, KSA has no well defined defence policy. Now, all GCC countries realize that all these foreign bases for ages have been to defend Israel. They are countering the Iranian missiles launched toward Israel. Same bases were used against Iran in 12 day war, but they have been avoided, and now they are counter as enemy post.
