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

Iran won't try sinking US ships to avoid inviting devastating US attack. US would be stupid and embarrassed across world stage. Their 'deterrence' calculations would definitely suggest dropping a small nuke on Iran.

But Iran would certainly sink an Israeli warship if it came to the Gulf (they won't until Iran has zero capabilities left )


And how would Israel transit a ship to the Gulf? Via the Suez Canal and run the risk of Houthi attacks during the entire transit of the Red Sea?
 
US embassy in Saudi Arabia warns of threat to eastern city

The US Embassy in Saudi Arabia has issued a security alert warning of a potential imminent missile or drone attack over the eastern city of Dhahran.

There is a US consulate in the city, where the headquarters of Saudi state oil giant Aramco are also located.

Iranian drones hit the US embassy in Riyadh earlier on Tuesday, causing minor damage and starting a fire. The US mission in Kuwait had previously been struck.

Washington responded by shutting those missions and ordering non-emergency government personnel and their families to leave countries across the Middle East.
 
Iran says will hit all Mideast economic hubs if US-Israeli attacks persist

An Islamic Revolutionary Guard general warned Tuesday that continued US-Israeli attacks would see Iran conduct reprisals against "all economic centres" in the Middle East, AFP reported.

"We are saying to the enemy that if it decides to hit our main centres, we will hit all economic centres in the region," said Ebrahim Jabbari.

"We have closed the Strait of Hormuz. Currently, the price of oil is above $80 and will soon reach $200," he was quoted as saying by Iranian news agency ISNA, as

Brent crude climbed above $85 for the first time since July 2024.
Excellent strategy.
 
China urges resumption of talks on Iran nuclear issue

China respects Iran's "legitimate right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy," a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said on Tuesday, while urging a stop to US military actions in favour of returning to talks and negotiations.

US strikes on Iran "during ongoing negotiations ... violate international law and basic principles of international relations," Spokesperson Mao Ning said during a regular press briefing on Tuesday.

"The Iran nuclear issue should eventually return to the track of political and diplomatic settlement," she added.

Mao also said China will take necessary measures to ensure its own energy security, when asked about the potential impact of U.S. military actions in Venezuela and Iran on China's oil supply.

Devastating US strike? Do you not understand what's been going on? All out war is going on, Total war. Iran will attack ferociously and to be fair its the dumbest thing US could have done.
 


Disaster incoming....for the US NAVY. I HAD PREDICTED A DISASTER FOR THE US NAVY IN THE WAR.


This is desperation on the part of Trump ...

This will bring American warships within range of Iranian anti-shipping missiles. The Americans must be very confident of their OODA loop to be able to detect and take out such systems, etc.
 
Russia says no evidence Iran working on nuclear weapons

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday that Moscow had still not seen any evidence that Iran was developing nuclear weapons.

US President Donald Trump has said the war was needed to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon and to thwart its long-range ballistic missile program.

Iran has denied it is seeking nuclear weapons and said the US and Israeli assault was unprovoked, occurring as Tehran and Washington were in negotiations on a nuclear accord.

Trump withdrew from a prior international agreement curbing Iran's nuclear programme during his first term in 2018, three years after it was signed.
 
Russia says Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant under threat

The Bushehr nuclear power plant in Iran is under threat as a result of the escalating conflict, the head of Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom said on Tuesday, according to the RIA state news agency.

"There is certainly a threat to the plant," CEO Alexei Likhachev was cited as saying. "Explosions can be heard just kilometres away", he added, saying the plant itself was not being targeted.

Rosatom said on Saturday it had evacuated nearly 100 people from Iran, but its personnel have remained at the plant, which was built by Moscow in the Iranian port city of Bushehr.

Likhachev said the next stage of evacuations involving 150 to 200 people from the plant would happen when the situation permits, according to comments cited by the Interfax news agency.
 
And how would Israel transit a ship to the Gulf? Via the Suez Canal and run the risk of Houthi attacks during the entire transit of the Red Sea?

Think it is a "proposal" to base IDF IAF jets in GCC countries as part of some coalition and not naval, etc.
