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

[hussain0216]

UAE and KSA have the strongest air defences of the Persian Gulf countries, but UAE has been hit hard so far and their interceptors must be strained by now

All the reason for them not to act stupid, especially if they can't defend their own desalination plants

Israel would love to make this a regional war and try to get the Arabs on side

US strikes on Iran down 80% since day 1, is the US running low on munitions?

They use this logic about Iran's day one strikes, but it also applies to the US.

But, the question is, does USA need to do more than 200 strikes per day to exert a sustained amount of military pressure on Tehran? Those 200 strikes per day may be sufficient to cripple infrastructure, oil supply chains etc.

I am only speculating of course. I just see no reason to assume USA's supply chain for munitions is somehow compromised. Other nations from around the world have also been summoned to supply munitions to fill any supply chain gaps, which would have been expected.

Hormuz Strait blockade remains Iran's best strategy to harm its enemy economically.

To further add to the above, the Israeli are worried about the Arabs being convinced by Turkey and Pakistan to go against Israel and refuse to partake in Abraham accord's

What exactly can the Arabs "add" here that Zio-US are not already doing?

Target Iranian strategic infrastructure? Good bye desalination plants in GCC and then the local populations do not have any drinking water. Iran just needs to send dozens of SRBMs and hundreds of drones and then the desalination plants are gone.

Their "retaliation" is a total irrelevance.

Whenever the powerful was teetering, found war of choice for resources and slaves... push their narrative and paradigm. The vikings and Norse plundered whole of Europe ...donned many caps including Christianity and Judaism... but never left their ways. Once the church was after them tk convert them forcefully and then aimed to use them for the crusades... endless riches in the east and eternal salvation.

Let me tie this up...

You have someone in the office who'd probably make kitchen staff on one of those viking ships... as president... promised a legacy, fortune and salvation!

He's got just about three more years left! This is as sick as it gets...
He still wants to go after Greenland, Canada, Cuba and Mexico.
Defense can NEVER be left for chance and good graces of the aggressor. They'll sink you unarmed vessel in high seas for fun and giggles. A numbers game... kill school kids, destroy public property and infrastructure, cutoff water and burn resources. To give you the lesson that they mean business and that they are tuff... as a chest beating silverback gorilla just image an orangutan in this case.

Cities like Riyadh can only sustain population in the low hundred thousands without a desalination plant.

The entire gulf arab monarchies are at risk of being overthrown if the money starts drying up

If UAE attack on Iran is confirmed, then it opens a bigger can of worms.

Whats to stop Iran attacking other GCC countries desalination plants. This would be a trigger for all foreigners doing a runner to their native countries. What happens next is anyone’s guess. Suddenly the GCC monarchs are insecure and ripe for a regime change.

Simply a dumb move on the part of GCC, if they attacked Iran.

Just give the bomber fleet to do a few days' worth of work and things will reopen right up.

I pray for Iran to survive this.

Ameen - have faith in Allah's plans.

Pakistan should secretly prepare and provide a turnkey solution like you know a Mcdonalds franchise. The franchise should include 20 nuclear tipped missiles with delivery system so should anyone try to stop it the purchaser can take care of themselves

Great idea - "I'm lovin' it"

Where was this aerial might in Afghanistan - where it was needed?

I flew in & out of Afghanistan (mostly to all the Military Bases) between 2006 to 2011.

I never saw B1 Lacers or B2 Bombers do jack sh!t there.

But what value do they have hitting cavemen already happy to live in a cave?

These bombers will harm Iran by harming infrastructure and functionality as a nation state.

I would regard this B1, B2 plan as more akin to the Dresden bombing runs in WW2, explicitly designed to cripple industrial capacity (albeit at a despicable civilian cost).

Looks like attacks against Saudi now completely stopped and focus is on Israel and other GCC countries

 

[PakSword]

Did noone mention that the US gives a shit to what happens to the middle east?

Attacks against Saudi were not widespread, I think Saudi will lead the change in the Arab world and it's in its interest that the other GCC kinglets are degraded so Saudi can enforce dominance in the aftermath


This all may work out in Saudi Arabias favour
