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

[Aziqbal]

I hope Iran is using this time to refuel their liquid fuelled ballistic missiles which is harder and more dangerous to do underground

also the buying plenty of sodium perchlorate for their solid state ballistic missiles

round 2 is around the corner

building more pipelines

And they can be destroyed too. Iran probably should develop purpose built weapons just for that after this war.
I don't know why people think building pipelines will decrease SOH's importance. The only thing that will do that is more renewable energy

it will push countries to use relevant source source of renewable energy . Ev' s will sell like hot cakes now sowcially in countries like Pakistan who have solar energy and every home is now enwrgy producer and user with out any external shocks

uae is accessible from both sides. Fujairah directly faces indian ocean, no need to pass through SOH.

uae is exporting tons of oil through there too earning billions in revenue (even though export is lower than normal times but due to raised oil prices).

Also its writing on the wall, they are building more pipelines (in addition to existing ones), they will not rely on SOH completely. With independence from OPEC and SOH, the uae aims to tripple their revenue while other GCC states remained locked inside SOH courtesy Iran.

Very risky to depend so much on an above ground pipeline....

 

[Persian Gulf]

With TankerTrackers assessing that, due to empty tankers INSIDE the U.S. blockade lane, Iran likely has an additional 4-6 weeks of "floating storage" available, we are likely looking at a timeline of AT LEAST 6-8 weeks before Iran is forced to shut-in. This assumes no other timeline extending measures are taken by Iran.

It is also worth noting that Iran's NIOC has twice shut-in before in 2012 and 2019. Both times, Iran was able to do so without catastrophic damage, or as Trump put it, "exploding their oil infrastructure".

While Iran will absolutely face inflationary pressures, GDP impact, and likely "some" degree of domestic unrest, it is becoming increasingly clear that Iran at no point had "13 days" before catastrophic consequences would occur.

But Pakistan is extremely vulnerable to the American sanctions, no small thanks to the inefficient and corrupt Pakistani governance. We will see how long Pakistan is able to withstand any American pressure, should they be applied.

Pakistan rises and shines when under sanctions. Been there before.
I almost dare them to sanction us, we will come out better.
With global trade routes and air routes and all going through Pakistan now and Pakistan becoming a hub soon, the americans can no longer afford to sanction or alienate Pakistan. This isn't the 90s

Then iran will "sanction" UAE's very vulnerable oil infrastructure near it with kinetic projectile diplomacy if Iran concludes UAE is in "violation" of the new security order in the Persian gulf, and nobody can anything about it.

round 2 is around the corner

I have a feeling us and israel are waiting for iran to dig out their nuclear material. That is if iran is even trying to dig it out. Reason being, the us tried to set up a base and obv failed. They know they cant stay for long, max stay for just enough to extract the material. Highly doubt they acheive it, but if iran is digging it out that could be a reason why they are not attacking as yet. In the mean time lets hope iran is preparing for such a massive response towards israel, that they will not be able exist once the iranians are done with them

This might be a stupid question but what kind of weight are we talking about of the material underground? I wonder how the yanks are expecting to get it out of Iran given they lost couple of their hercules planes?

Dont have a clue about weight. There are some estimates according to IAEA. U can search it up. But, i dont think they know the exact amount

440 kilograms of 60% HEU, and about 200 kilograms of 20% HALEU.
Easier said than done though, since it is in the form UF6 gas. It might have exploded already, contaminating the nearby structures and debris. That's probably why Trump calls it "dirt".

Accessing Iran's buried enriched uranium is a mission impossible type of operation. It's not something that the US does in a matter of hours. It will likely take days or maybe even weeks to secure it militarily.
