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

We need Oman and Pakistan mediating Saudi Arabia and Ansrallah.
I agree. Yemen should be allowed to focus on Israel. I don’t know why Saudi Arabia decided to escalate here by bombing Yemen’s airport. They have to abandon that stupid redline, one way or another.
 
So if Iran is unable to attack Israel then admit that Iran fears a massive counter attack by Israel Or feels that it will be unable to do any damage to Israeli bases not because of some grand strategy. It’s attacking Kuwait and Bahrain over and over and over again (same bases which do not hold any US tankers or AWACS) because that are easy targets which Iran can hit comfortably.
Iran cannot fight everyone at once. There is good logic behind divide and conquer and taking out the weaker links first. Israel did this by attacking Hamas and Hezbollah and overthrowing Assad in Syria first before attacking Iran.

Israel is a much tougher opponent than U.S. bases in countries closer to Iran. The risk reward ratio is not worth it right now.
 
Another refinery hit overnight — this time by Iraqi militias (allegedly).

Well, there are two explanations that I have seen: One is the official Saudi position that it was a 'mistake' and the other is that it was some Saudi align faction in Yemen who acted on their own. Plus we can't rule out the Israeli False Flag in anything. Perhaps we will know the truth one day.

Just watched about first 20 minutes of this. Alastair Crooke saying the recent ceasefire because further American actions won't yield much owing to Iran's formidable mountain geography. Some other take aways: The global energy situation is turning worse and worse. Netanyahu is being told to get out of Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon but he is coming to Washington to push against that.

I always respected and defended the Iraqi resistance. They fought with Iran from day one and did their best.

Now Iraqis and Yemenis are both precisely targeting Saudi oil infrastructure. What a mess by Saudi Arabia trying to impose a siege on Yemen.

Yes that is an honest reply. But I was hearing replies not accepting the hard reality that Israel is a tough bad ass MFker and Bahrain and Kuwait are easy targets.

They were defending Iran's action or inaction without accepting severe limitations of Iran.

If Iran had capability to take on Israel while engaging US then it made perfect sense to go after master logistics bases in Israel which are central nerve serving as HQ of this US phase-2 of air campaign. Iran has its own limitations so its doing what it can in available circumstances

Saudi backed Aden regime does not have an air force. The missiles on Sana'a airport were identified as storm shadow missiles which Saudi Arabia uses.

Of course, Iran has limitations, we are not a superpower and we have basically no air force and limited air defences. The USA and Israel are very powerful enemies and they also prepared well for this war.

Then maybe we should tone down our marg bar everyone chant and stop acting like we are the big kid in the block because we clearly are not cut out for this conflict.

Big news USS Tripoli and the 31st MEU have returned back to Japan from Arabian Sea. Hard to imagine a land deployment is imminent without these ships.
