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

[Tabmachine]

Lets be honest. No one has issues with Pakistan, Indonesia, Egypt, Turkiye being neutral .. but Gulfies? That's bad. Come on.
You all have issues with Gulfies being neutral because they flash their oil money and pretty much weak.

The Gulfies are not neutral they are subordinate, and this war only doubly confirms that subordination.

Pakistan, Indonesia, Turkiye at least possess basic autonomy, albeit limited by economic failings on the part of Pakistan and Turkiye to varying degrees.

Just observe the response from the US as Saudi tries to diversify its military procurement. Imagine if they considered hosting a Chinese base on their territory. There might suddenly be incoming Israeli "decapitation strikes".

Honestly you dont sound Turkish at all, very likely a false flagger.

Iran does not earn much from those gas fields at all ( mostly due to sanctions ) so, maybe Iran should destroy all the facilities on the gas field, to make an example out of Qatar ??

it's not that simple. Iran relies on Pars to supply gas domestically.
Also, it's one field exploited by both countries so damage or loss will not be confined to just Qatar, Iran will be damaging itself by attacking Qatar.

In a alternate Universe, America and Iran joined hands together and attack Israel, and the entire Palestinian region is now under a international coalition forces, where all three Abrahamic faiths live peacefully and co-exists. (Must be something if it actually happen).

Pakistan has already recognized Israel, at least unofficially it has and an official announcement is all that remains. This was always the goal of the military establishment. The last hurdle to this cause was Imran Khan who is now rotting in jail despite wining the elections with two third majority.

Yeah bro Imran Khan was alone lifting the weight of whole world on his poor shoulders

Very good point.

Also no news at all of iran's submarines fleet.....

What gives you reason to believe they are still operational?

Probably you can not look beyond your ethnicity and recent history and stand along Iran as they are completely justified to do whatever they can to repel jews and american aggression on all and multidimensional fronts, so you have to spin it around.
Muslims have obligation to support Iran and that is where starting point of any further directions should be.

Pakistan has been at war since early 1980 from Afghanistan and low intensity conflicts with India for a chunk of Pakistan's history, plus the foreign engineered insurgencies. It has depleted Pakistan's economy, killed tens of thousands of Pakistanis, sown plenty of domestic discord. But ceding any territory is unacceptable to Pakistan and thus even for the tiny sliver of the Siachen Glacier, Pakistanis have been fighting for four decades.

Now compare that with our Syrian friend @Haz who seems Okay to buy the peace even if that means permanently losing the Golan Heights and the newly acquired Syrian territories by Israel. As I said a couple of days ago: Syrians should join Hezbollah to defend not only Lebanon's territorial loss but also to take back the Syrian territory in this 'Now or Never' War.

Yup, things just escalated, recent presser from Qatar and Kuwait was very interesting.

Joint Statement Issued by the Consultative Ministerial Meeting of the Foreign Ministers of a Group of Arab and Islamic Countries Regarding the Iranian Attacks

Latest strikes will have massive ripple effect on global economy - Qatar claims dmg to facilities and capacity will take 3-5 years to correct and rectify.

Meanwhile fossil fuel prices have continued to soar, with oil hitting a new high since the Iran war began this morning.

A barrel of Brent crude briefly hit $118.74 after 9:30UTC - a high last seen in June 2022, nearly four years ago.

It comes amid attacks on energy production facilities, increasing supply fears as tankers struggle to pass the Iran-controlled Strait of Hormuz through which a fifth of global oil and gas supplies travel.

Gas also on the rise - developing economies will be hurt the most.

UK, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Netherland and Japan will now likely move at pace to contribute towards keeping strait of hormuz open.

Lots of aircraft picked up on track. Another surge likley expected.

Iran's response is certainly not lacking in resolve. But is it enough? That is the real question here.

The US/israel are losing, and Iran is winning; so I would say it is enough.

 

[Mighty_Dragon_Strike]

I agree with you on both points. This is not going to be quick or easy for either side.

not to mention, they have understood, the right price for the chokehold they control!


unlike us!

who have stacked up a debt of unfathomable amount



imagine the hypocrisy and the number of ignorant believers in the system

They are preparing for ground action:

A-10 Planes and Apache Helicopters Join Air Campaign Against Iran​

By

Michael R. Gordon
and

Lara Seligman
American A-10 attack planes and Apache attack helicopters are now striking Iranian targets on Iran’s southern flank, said Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The A-10s are striking Iranian fast-attack boats in the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has essentially closed to maritime traffic, Caine said. The U.S. Air Force has long sought to retire the A-10 to save funds to develop more advanced planes. But the A-10, with its nose-mounted 30-millimeter gun, has proved to be useful in past air campaigns against insurgents and now against Iranian targets.

If A-10s are now patrolling that means Iran's AD systems have been sufficiently degraded to not pose a major threat.

What gives you reason to believe they are still operational?

It doesn’t matter if they are operational or not. They were never the backbone of the A2/D2 strategy.

There were a known 15 Ghadir midget submarines. At least a few were shown destroyed. Thus id imagine the amount of that survived being in underground submarine bases or tunnels is somewhere around 5-7.

Keep in mind they carry 2 torpedo ports. But they only need to be successful once to cause immense damage to $1B+ navy vessels
