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

Master Chief said:
It would also be an opportunity for Iran.

If Jolani openly supports Tel Aviv in this war, he will make an enemy of Tehran for life, long after USA and Israel abandon him, just as they have abandoned every "partner" among the goyim they ever did have, most recently the Kurds and the Pahlavists.

You know how absolutely ridiculous you sound right? You know Iran is the one that came into out country to prop up a dictator and help destroy the entire country and caused millions of us to suffer just to prop up a brutal criminal tyrant that was not even Muslim so he can torture us for another 50 years?

Bud, Iran has already made themselves an enemy to us, and we did absolutely nothing to them to deserve it. What the **** you smoking.

Having said that, we aint supporting Israel, we're staying out of this fight. I already posted that our Defence Minister denied this BS propaganda from Mint news. How many times do I need to debunk that BS.

So are we now admitting the GCC hosted numerous US/Western bases as a deterrent for Iran to not attack them? So if there was no Iran threat the bases would probably not be there?:unsure:

The United States began establishing military bases in the Middle East mainly during and after World War II, but the process happened gradually in several stages tied to oil security, the Cold War, and regional conflicts.

1. Early Presence (1940s–1950s)​

The first significant U.S. military presence in the region started during World War II.

  • 1945–1949: The U.S. used facilities in countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran mainly for logistics and air transit.
  • 1945: The U.S. began using the Dhahran Airfield in Saudi Arabia, one of the earliest American bases in the Middle East.
  • This period coincided with the famous meeting between Franklin D. Roosevelt and Abdulaziz Ibn Saud aboard the USS Quincy in 1945, which laid the foundation for the U.S.–Saudi security relationship tied to oil.

2. Cold War Expansion (1950s–1980s)​

During the Cold War, the U.S. expanded access to facilities rather than permanent bases.

Key developments:

  • 1950s–1960s: Access agreements with allies such as Turkey and Iran (under the Shah).
  • 1970s: The U.S. began using facilities in Bahrain for the U.S. Fifth Fleet.
  • 1980: After the Iranian Revolution and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the U.S. created the Rapid Deployment Force, leading to more military infrastructure in the Gulf.

3. Major Permanent Bases (1990s)​

The biggest expansion came after the Gulf War.

Large bases were established in:

  • Qatar – Al Udeid Air Base (major U.S. air hub)
  • Bahrain – Headquarters of the U.S. Fifth Fleet
  • Kuwait – multiple Army bases
  • United Arab Emirates – Al Dhafra Air Base
  • Saudi Arabia – Prince Sultan Air Base (especially active in the 1990s)

4. Post-9/11 Expansion (2001 onward)​

After the September 11 attacks, the U.S. expanded operations for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Major operational hubs included:

  • Qatar – Al Udeid (largest U.S. base in the Middle East)
  • Bahrain – naval headquarters
  • Kuwait – staging ground for Iraq
  • Jordan and United Arab Emirates – air operations

In Short​

  • 1940s: First bases (Saudi Arabia)
  • Cold War: Limited access and naval presence
  • 1990s: Large permanent bases after Gulf War
  • 2000s: Expansion during War on Terror
✅ Today the U.S. maintains dozens of facilities (large bases and smaller sites) across the Middle East.

If you want, I can also show you a map and list of all current U.S. bases in the Middle East — some people are surprised how many there actually are.

CNN: Iran May Allow Tankers Through Hormuz Only in Chinese Currency​

March 15, 2026

Saddam Hussein decided to accept Euro for Iraqi oil sales that were administered through the UN in the 1990s. They invaded Iraq in 2003.

Russia and EU signed an agreement to settle Russian gas sales on the Euro. The next we know is a colored revolution in Ukraine, the conflict in the Russian-speaking Eastern and Southern Ukraine, the current war between the West thru Ukraine and Russia, and the destruction of the Nord Stream gas pipelines in September 2022.

Well, in this current conflict, Iran should've built the bomb if they want to embark on this decision that demand any oil sales be carried out on the Chinese currency
contingent upon the tankers getting a pass. But perhaps they see no other option since they are already attacked. Nevertheless, for America's deep state to accept oil and gas purchases being settled on any currency other than the US Dollar, they view it as an economic suicide. This is most likely the reason why the US govt is contemplating on launching ground war against Iran.

Islamic Republic it is an advanced frontier for China like Hizbollah it is for Islamic Republic. China needs Islamic Republic to test, erode and boicot not only Pentagon but also White House.

Saw an analyst say that China needs this conflict to bleed America for just three months--enough to take over Taiwan and settle that once and for all. Pakistan is taking territory in Afghanistan as I write this. Israelis mobilizing huge number of people to take southern Lebanon, finish off the West Bank and maybe even Gaza. And who knows what else territory grab in this 'fog of war'.

We are witnessing the most consequential war since WW II. This is not going to be another Middle Eastern war as not only the geopolitics of many countries is involved but also the energy sources, territorial ambitions and, of course, the religious fervors of the three great Abrahamic Religions.
