Imo, Iran didn't foresee this situation and part of reason it's striking GCC more is because the resources they put into place against Israel aren't there.
Hamas's operation against Israel in 2023 threw everything off for Iran. Hezbollah and Hamas would have been in their full strength this time around. They would come under Israeli attack while US would've struck Iranian nuclear facilities, giving them legitimacy to retailate in front of their people.
With Gaza it's possible Israel would've sent message to Hamas to say don't get involved at all and we won't attack you. But with Lebanon they would have certainly done attack on Hezbollah.
And the war showed they had pager attack ready and Hezbollah comms were compromised so Hezbollah performance may not have been as anticipated.
Iran didn't have money + resources needed to build so many medium and long range ballistic missiles to be able to conventionally crush Israel
So it's not that Iran seeks to attack GCC, in reality it doesn't want to, but it has no other way to establish deterrence. If they only respond against Israel, Israel will gladly pay price of few Iranian missiles a day that don't hit anything important or get shot down and keep escalating until regime change
Take all that into account, Israel knew exactly it will come down to this and UAE + Bahrain should know this is who they did Abraham Accords with. GCC needs different strategy going forward. It was being built slowly with Saudi - Pakistani - Turkey strategic alliance.
Israel came in and ruined the party to try to isolate Pakistan - Saudi Arabia and Turkey from each other and force them back into neutral states or war with Iran state

ISLAMABAD: Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar expressed regret on Tuesday that an attack by Israel on Iran set out events that “severely damaged the peace process” at a time when Washington and Tehran were close to coming to the table.
His statement in the Senate came ahead of an 8pm ET deadline that US President Donald Trump has given to Iran to enter a ceasefire agreement with Washington. Trump has warned of wider bombing on power plants and other critical infrastructure otherwise.
Pakistan has positioned itself as a facilitator in the peace process between the two sides, leveraging its ties with the US and its working relationship with Iran.

Clearly these Zionists are out to torpedo any efforts at peace. They want to see Iran completely incapacitated through the use of US military power. So far their plan seems to be working.

They are threatening to wipe Iran off the map, destroy a millennial civilization, and kill what is left of my family there, same for tens of millions of other Iranians, kids, women and men who already struggle there, and ruin the childhoods of millions
I always advocated to not hit civilian infrastructures and not commit war crimes on Israel/US, now i do not care anymore
Maximum casualties and destruction is all i ask if they dare to do that

Why there's no casualities on the pilot rescue/special operation mission? only some planes/choppers? the way those were burned down should indicate heavy firing. Also US claims that they burned their planes/choppers down

Yes
I can say with full confidence Iran has hit this airbase multiple times during this current conflict and even some damage to some aircraft occurred but we will see results leaked after war
It has reduced Israeli AF capacity by about 5%
Brutal.

I was hopeful that Pakistan's mediation could produce results, but since both parties have presented terms unacceptable to the other, all we can do is hope that loss of innovent lives doesnt occur. If US does what its been threatening with, dont think much of Iran will.be left. Lets just hope that doesn't happen.

You are not far off from going pink if you continue this
We are 40 days in .......
and the Saudis have not done anything themselves, because they do not want to
and why would they when it's America's war, yet here you are imagining that it's Pakistan who should be intervening ahead of the Saudis and Americans themselves
Pakistan has its own interest in Saudi Arabia's integrity, and the same in Iran
The only evidence you have is copium from the sidelines.

Why are they wasting missiles at Nebatim? They will never hit anything useful there ever. We have seen that.

I think it's a good proposal to begin with.
