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

[Persian Gulf]

I get that, but probably could have been more accurate here? My point is simply that Iran is winning the war of narratives, the US bombed a school full of Iranian children.

Why set that back with the optics of a wrecked civilian airport? Ali Al Salem base is still standing, why not just obliterate that instead?

Impacts on military bases are censored

Kuwait airport is still on fire

 

[Sarhang]

I am all for striking US assets but blowing up Kuwait airport may be an own goal for Iran., They have global sympathy. They could have killed many innocents. Granted it is a dual use military/civilian airport

Lol come on dude. Kuwait is allowing the US to fire directly at Iranian soil but Iran can't retaliate at the source?

Iran is not Syria or Iraq.

Where did I say Iran cannot retaliate. Many Kuwaitis cheered when Iran hit US forces in Kuwait. Hitting the civilian terminal seems unhelpful for Iran.

So the US can injure and kill Iranian civilians and target civilian infrastructure from Kuwait, yet Iran can’t respond in the same way?

Attached to be base there is an Air base that you can see

Google Maps

Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

Also the attack has been made at night, so I am pretty sure Irán doesn't seek to kill civilians, just hit military hardware and also pay back Kuwait Kingdom that all attacks will meet response.

I am putting the damage on the civilian airport down as "collateral damage", i.e. Iran did not target the civilian airport directly, but as a result of localized jamming and defensive activity and proximity to military installations, some ordnance was forced into civilian areas by the local defenders or were the product of the inaccuracy of Iranian systems.

Iranians have my respect exactly because they do not act like Kuwaitis and Americans

 

[Lulldapull]

High frequency of Patriot malfunction proves that US intentionally sells defective missiles to its Arab "allies".

I believe you’re onto something here. Intentionally selling them junk which doesn’t work and take all their maany.

What a swindle no?

The U.S. uses Kuwaiti territory to fire missiles at Iranian civilians

The U.S. has an air base at that airport and uses it to launch air strikes against Iranian civilians

But Iran already hit US bases in Kuwait so many times. I doubt US would be keeping anything in those bases till now?

In other words, is there any US military assets left in Kuwait yet?

As long as tensions are high, US would keep its assets away from nearby countries. Fighter jets taking off from Kuwaiti airbase or airport is a massive risk for the US. They can take off from Israel or Jordan and with mid air refueling can easily do their operations with much less risk.

The argument that Iran is hitting Kuwait because its being used to target Iran was valid during the first phase of war. Why would US use Kuwait now? It do not make any sense.

One strategy of Iran could be that hitting Kuwait, Bahrain are easier targets and that may not escalate things rapidly.

The attack prior to this attack, destroy two MQ series drones, so USA assets are on the ground.

According to @Lulldapull those bases were decimated by Iran long ago early in the battle.

So @Lulldapull whats your theory now ?
