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

[Persian Gulf]

We didn't hit anything in the petrochemical industry of Israel though. Big mistake.

We did hit some pesticide facility in the Negev a few times



Their petrochemicals are mostly in the Negev and their air defences are weak there, so it’s a matter of time

But personally I would prepare 50+ missiles just for Orot Rabin to guarantee a few good hits. Can even be split over 2 days. It’s a HVT. And right next to a water desalination plant so even if the missiles miss we might still get lucky.

ADNOC’s facility in Habshan, UAE, is one of the Middle East’s largest integrated gas processing complexes

Yes, but it wasn't in response to Israel's bombing of 85% of our petrochemical exports.

Orot Rabin is a mighty attractive target. We really need to start obliterating targets instead of just damaging them. They need to go out of commission for months.

This is next level sabotage if true whoever is responsible

Well it is Bridge Day today according to Trump. I guess he forgot to tell folks it's only bridges in Iran Day.

Just 2-3 precise missile impacts on Haifa’s refinery was enough to put it out of commission for months

This time only a submunition landed there so the damage was not significant

I do not believe Trump and his advisors feared being attacked by Iran, but they all shared Israel/Netanyahu's belief that Israel will be attacked by Iran. Till that massacre of October 23, it would not have been easy for Israel to rope in U.S./Trump into this war. One thing that has surprised me is the almost complete lack of anti-war activism by any segment of population - Democrats, Republicans, Left, Right, Middle, nothing. Without much salesmanship by Trump and his supporters (unlike for 2003 Iraq war), public seems to instinctively accept that Iran is an enemy worth waging a war on. I had not expected that. Going by the lack of public activism globally against this war, it seems Iran's goodwill is a huge negative.

You just gave me something to think about. If Hamas never attacked on October 7th none of this would be happening right now. Hezbollah and Iran would be intact, and Bibi would likely be in prison right now. All this mayhem in middle east right now has its origins to that event on October 7th, 2023, that is mind-blowing.

We need to do something like what we did to Qatar.

We decommissioned 17% of Qatar's LNG exports in a single strike! Damage estimated at $20 billion, takes 5 years to repair.
That's what we need to do to Israel, Saudi Arabia and the Emirates.

If this is not a war crime, I am not sure what else is.

Iran should respond in kind at their subway stations.

This is most likely a prelude to a ground invasion of Iran by the US forces.

We shouldn't reciprocate this exactly, as Iran does not have the capacity to launch a ground invasion of Israel. We should hit them where it will hurt equally, or more.

2 Iranian missiles directly hit the Jubail Industrial Complex — the world’s largest industrial city.

Jubail is home to 13 of SABIC’s 16 Saudi production plants — SABIC, the Saudi Basic Industries Corporation, is one of the world’s largest chemical manufacturers, producing plastics, fertilizers, metals and industrial chemicals.

Don't look at these mono-layer fire maps. It looks the same if you go 1 week back in the timeline or 1 month. Nothing "crazy" happened there.

Edit: Or at least use the timeline function.
