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

[r3alist]

Unsure, but if that is the case with so many caveats then the pact is basically meaningless....

Yes and no, all of the media hype around calling this a Muslim NATO was exactly to misdirect and Sabotage what the pact is.

Iran says it will “respond decisively”; UAE, Kuwait, say responded to incoming missiles; Airlines cancel flights to region.

On topic tho.

This is a bad move for Trump, considering there is a major event in the US in 6 months (FIFA World Cup), this strike won't do much, but will attract attacks onthe US during events like this. Not sure if Iran was thinking about it before now, orif they can actually pull it off, but they are probably going to look at this now.

This isn't going to stir a hard threat on the US, but a soft target? That's another story

Epstein files though!

Also just to add, you only invoke the agreement when you think you need it, Pakistan does not need it with Afghanistan and the Saudis have USA

This conflict could still get a whole lot worse
​

Frank Gardner
BBC Security correspondent

From up and down the Gulf reports are coming in of explosions, sirens, air defences going into action and plumes of smoke.

Iran always said it would retaliate against US bases in the region and it has, wasting little time before sending a volley of missiles at America’s Gulf Arab allies.

"It’s really scary", a British expat resident in Bahrain tells me as he watches a Patriot missile battery intercepting an incoming missile right overhead.

This is not the first time that the Gulf states, which include the UAE’s hugely popular destination of Dubai, have experienced war.

There was the Iran-Iraq war in 1980-88, Desert Storm in 1991, the Iraq invasion in 2003 and last year Iran briefly targeted the US airbase in Qatar.

But this is different. It’s bigger and more dangerous than anything previously.

Which is why the leaders of Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia earlier urged the Trump administration not at attack their big neighbour across the water.

This conflict could still get a whole lot worse.

 

[El Sidd]

Yes, and they would be well within their rights to do so. Saudis probably made the deal for this exact scenario....

This ain't some shocking development. It was an eventuality as clear as the rising Sun.

The thing about pacts is you cannot be selective on when you choose to implement them,. If Pak called for Saudi help and vice versa it should be given, under no conditions

Al Jazeera live coverage is suggesting US is more heavily targeting southern Iran/around coast of Iran more than any other areas

Iranian Supreme Leader's office reportedly hit in strikes
​

Numerous explosions have been heard in Tehran and number of cities across Iran.

The office of Iran’s Supreme Leader and the presidential office in Tehran were also reportedly targeted.

Military sites have been targeted in Kermanshah, Qum, Isfahan, Tabriz, Karaj and as well as at Iranian naval facilities in Kenarak in the south of the country. A video we have received from the small city of Kamyaran in Kurdish region, shows an IRGC base is bombed.

The Israeli Defence Force warned Iranian civilians to evacuate areas near military sites and installations ahead of the strikes.

There are images from Tehran shows that a residence in Narmak neighbourhood of Tehran, where former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lives, has been hit. It is not clear whether the former president is hurt.

The Iranian interior ministry said the security forces are ready to keep the situation calm and many hospitals across the country are on standby.

I doubt it. Iran has never done anything like that before. Also why would they attack a global event - stripping them of legitimacy?

If anything i can see the US doing a false flag to try and garner international support.

Things can always change if Saudi Arabia suddenly decides it is now changing sides to ally with Iran against US and Israel.

This will be a checkmate as now suddenly PAKISTAN'S Nuclear Umbrella would be extended not only to Saudi but to IRAN too, limiting Israel and USA'S Nuclear Attack options...

That has already happened. as of 3 months ago, Saudia has gone against UAE, Isreal and USA. Because UAE and ISreael have started using Yemen to destabilize Saudi Arabia... I am not sure why people are not seeing it.
