Watch the Tripoli group in the coming days. They didn’t deploy from Japan to break bread with Gulf locals.

If that's the underground complex I think it is then the bombs got through. You don't get that kind of smoke by just bombing a mountain with no man made structure to burn. I used to go to Fort Irwin for business and once went during a Green Flag event and at distance you could see the huge dust cloud from JDAMS and other heavy ordinances being dropped on side of mountain never seeing black smoke. Black smoke signals a burning of petroleum products.

Relations will improve when the Gulf to apologies to Iran for allowing their territory and airspace to be used to attack Iran.
That’s your opinion(a wrong one) but you’re entitled to it. This war will reinforce a collective review of the security matrix in the ME, where the countries will collaborate more for security. The winners will be Pakistan, Turikeye and China, and that will be at the expense of the USA.
Strategically it has become worse at the attention has shifted from Iran, to Israel being a security threat to Egypt, Türkiye and Saudi. There will be collective defence frameworks going forward between Egypt, Türkiye and Saudi to protect themselves from Israel. The attention is on Israel as the threat to stability.
You obviously are not following the actual detailed discourse happening in the middle east.
Qatar has stopped the use of its land, and airspace by the USA to attack Iran and attacks on Qatar have stopped. Don't be surprised if Qatar rejects any attempt to repair the CENTCOM base in Qatar, and asks the USA to leave ...

Qatari PM and US officials discuss strategic ties amid Iran war
Qatar’s prime minister has held talks with senior US officials in Washington, DC, amid the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran and fallout across the Gulf.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, who also serves as Qatar’s foreign minister, met US Vice President JD Vance and US Secretary Scott Bessent, Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Friday.
They reviewed ways to strengthen the “close strategic cooperation” between Doha and Washington, “especially the defence partnership in light of the conditions the region is experiencing”, the ministry said.
Both sides stressed “ensuring the sustainability of energy supplies and maintaining the continued flow of liquefied natural gas from the State of Qatar to global markets”, in a way that “supports global energy security”, it added.
Vance hailed the “robust strategic partnership”, praising Qatar’s “active role in promoting regional stability and enhancing global energy security”.
The Gulf has been in a state of heightened tension since February 28, when the US-Israeli war on Iran began, which has killed more than 3,000 people across the region, a vast majority of them in Iran and Lebanon.
Tehran has since launched drone and missile attacks aimed at Israel, as well as Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf states. Iran insists it is targeting US assets in the Gulf, but the region’s leaders have urged Iran to cease attacks as they endanger civilians.
Qatar, earlier this month, said Iranian missile attacks on the Ras Laffan Industrial City, the country’s main gas facility, caused “significant damage”.
The war has created an unprecedented global energy crisis as Iran has effectively closed off the Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of the world’s oil passes.
Meeting with Hegseth
On Thursday, Sheikh Mohammed also held a meeting in Washington with US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, the Foreign Ministry said.“The meeting took place in Washington on Thursday and focused on ways to support and develop defence and security collaboration amid regional challenges,” it added.
“Both sides stressed the importance of continued coordination and consultation on regional issues to promote security and stability locally and internationally.”
On Wednesday, the Qatari Cabinet renewed its condemnation of Iranian attacks on Qatar and its neighbours, calling for an immediate halt.

As I said, US relations with allies will only strengthen from this war.

US hits the missile bases
And just hours after, Iranians reopen the entrance and fire missiles again from there and this loop continues.
US has no success in penetrating these UG bases

Strikes continue tonight
64 pages and 1 month later, we still are learning that US although wonon page 2 (or was it page 1?) but still needs one more week to win, Iran's missiles are reduced by 90% (formula to calculate that may challenge the intricate working of say errr seat belt (Shout out to good ol George Carlin for this)
Definitely a lot of copium around these parts

Right now, all they can do is suppress the bases. The question is will the Americans try a tactical nuke on the bases? There are over 130 of them, so that would not work either as a solution.
Can the Americans conduct commando raids on each and every missile base? Given the location, there are some they can take from the inside and destroy, but not all of them.
A touch nut for them to crack.

Reality has not set in with some yet that the enemy gets a vote too.
Degraded and defeated are not synonymous. Iran is a large country and has been preparing for this for 47 years.
