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

[Ali_Baba]

1. Any pipeline touching Syrian soil will be connected to existing Turkish energy infrastructure to reach Europe.

2. The idea is much older than the Iran War.

3. Iran wants the exact same connectivity via Turkey to the EU markets but the Europeans decline.

Israel(Netanyahu) has made a pitch recently to build an alternative to the Strait of Hormuz via Israel. Of course, makes little sense as it would involve oil transfer via ship once it leaves Israel, to get to Europe whereas via Syria and Türkiye, it can remain all on pipe which would work out cheaper overall.

No Iranian missile launches towards Israel in 12 hours

Only 3 waves since midnight — lowest since the war began

Important to monitor if this is an outlier or potential change in trend

You got to ask yourself why Houthis haven’t fired anymore as of late I think something is bigger is coming more coordinated with Hezbollah softening up Israel as soon as Houthi fired off a few missiles and drones they are now in the crosshairs of Israel in for the penny in for the pound

It won't work, Syria is not stable and has a lot of minorities fighting among each others not to mention that israel invaded large area in syria beside the already invaded (golan heights) .. this project was discussed to harm Egypt (suez canal) but fortunately for us it looks like it won't work out.

What is as, if not more, important is the price of diesel. The average price for that is now $5.37 per gallon.

In the US, with huge distances, goods are shipped in trucks that run on diesel. Increased diesel prices will cause price rises for everyday goods. More than 50% of the US population lives paycheck to paycheck will be angered by that.

hopefully the price of petrol has a supressing effect on the price of Jaguar F Types

The expression on the chief general's face says it all regarding this war

 

[Musings]

Things are bounding quickly.


Iran dont have much missiles left... No missile launch n last 12 hours.

They will fire 4-5 at most at a time now.

Things are slowing on usa side too.

Egypt makes very little sense since it has the same requirement as Israel, ie the need to offload onto a ship, to take the oil to Europe. The goal is to get a pure land route to Europe. Egypt cannot help in that.

There is a reason why the Syrian leader is being "warmly" received in London, and Europe at the moment. Syria will become stable and these pipelines will help Syria generate Revenue to rebuild her economy.

Even good old mlrs can become pretty effective when qued by fpv drones designating the targets especially at close ranges south of litani river. Thankfully now Hezbollah has adapted and is much better than ever at using drones both for survaillance and kamikaze attacks.

Another addition can be explosive laden ugvs. They can carry more explosives than fpv drones or small flying one way attack drones. They are not agile but given enough range and if unjammed(fiber optic cable maybe) they can destroy a fortified position of isreali troops pretty effectively.

Just saying, told you so.

Basically saying "China and Pakistan also drew attention to the security of maritime routes, describing the Strait of Hormuz as a vital global shipping lane for goods and energy. They called for measures to ensure the safety of vessels and crews in the area, facilitate the safe passage of civilian and commercial ships, and restore normal transit through the strait as soon as possible."

Or see Point IV:

China and Pakistan propose five-point plan to restore Mideast stability

China and Pakistan in a joint statement on Tuesday proposed a five-point initiative aimed at restoring peace and stability in the Persian Gulf and the broader Middle East amid the Iran war, following talks between senior officials in Beijing.

Again. Iran is doing great by blocking only the US and the coalition's ships.

International forces' presence in Gulf. Like of UN but under Russian and Chinese forces.
Just keep one thing in mind, no one in future will allow Iran to stop Harmuz again. China, Japan, Russia, EU, etc will either stop the US/Israel from attacking or stop Iran from blocking Harmuz.

Iran cannot play this card forever and again easily. So, Iran should demand the cessation of sanctions and develop itself to the fullest.

Edit: Just keep in mind, no major power would allow any country to block the oil corridors.
It is a good omen that Trump has goofed up by making China angry (Tariff issue) and the EU/Canada over the Greenland issue.

Houthis have had a very disappointing role in this war so far.

They're probably waiting for something bigger to happen to enter the war more seriously. I mean how many missiles have they fired so far? Fewer than 5, if I'm not wrong.

Another possible reason is that Iran chose to arm itself instead of arming the Houthis after the June attacks. Therefore, their inventory of missiles and drones is rather small for playing a bigger role in attacking Israel and Zionist-Arab states in the Persian Gulf.

I just hope they could secure Bab el-Mandeb at least. Disrupting navigation and Bab el-Mandeb should be their top priority in this war, if push comes to shove.
