2 missiles launched

I lost track, but think we are up to at least 13 since midnight
 
I was listening to the War Nerd podcast the other day and they had on Sunni Bahraini--Canadian guest speaker. He made a few points about Bahrain's role in all of this.

  • The ruling party has fast-tracked citizenship of Egyptians, Jordanians, Yemenis, and Pakistan (Sunnis) to help suppress the Shia majority.
  • There is a racial hierarchy in Bahrain where Pakistanis are on the lower end of the pole in the security forces. The top jobs are for the other Arabs
  • Manana has this street full of bars (typical where Westerners like to go and relax ie Bangkok, Okinawa, Seoul etc) which is full of South-Asian S*x workers, and underage Bahraini girls (ages 13-16) go and befriend American military members ages 23-25 and start physical relationships. The parents of these girls are embarrassed and ashamed, and out of shame do not bring this up, even if they did, the service-member will moved out of the country.
  • Bahrain arrested one of their citizen for criticizing Israel at a conference in Beirut and on his return to Bahrain arrested him for insulting an ally.
  • Bahrain is very close to Israel like UAE. Both are the top countries in the gulf fully entrenched in the "Abraham Accords."
  • Ruling party is heavily depended on the bridge that connects to Saudi Arabia for all its needs now since the SoH is shut down. The Highway is their lifeline.

I don't know how many here remember, there was citizens uprising against the Bahraini ruling family some years ago. Unfortunately, Pakistani hired guns were used to crush that uprising, arranged by you know who...

I am pretty sure, even now, same force at lower levels which goes on street to dispatch violence against the locals, will be from Pakistan.

We in Pakistan needs to be very very careful here.
 
Without any type of Air Support or Air defence a large scale mobilization of ground forces will lead to nothing but slaughter. A war of attrition and blockage is the most viable option for Iran.

The new age of warfare (see Ukraine-Russia) isn’t “large scale” armies like you saw in 1990 or 2003. It’s small mobile platoons or squads throughout the “front line”.

And if the U.S. is doing a shore landing (the most viable land operation IMO) with the goal of a clear and hold operation to build a buffer around the strait of Hormuz, the terrain does not favor the attacker against such teams.

Iran will face an even worse fate than a potential carpet bombing like Dresden should it surrender. And to prevent that, Iran should really mobilize its large population, its allies in Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon and elsewhere to take the war to the borders of Israel as it had existed by late 2024.
A war of attrition may or may not be viable of Iran. Those who attacked it have factored in short-medium term casualties and economic losses for long term gains except they have probably missed the human elements like the unpredictable large populations spread in the region.
No offence, but Iran is still one of the most organised nation states, humanitarian elements in Iran is always water and necessity of organised society to survive...that's why Iranian plateau is always dynamic and active, unlike Arabian millenia old hibernation...People will do something only to survive, Iranian glorious imperial history is deeply connected with organizational function of the Iranian heartland...

Iranians are aware of necessity in mutual trust in the plateau, and that's the root of a strong organisational skills...

Or with other words, Iran is almost always among big key powers because they have no other way...
