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

Is this credible? Are the Chinese helping the Emiratis?

 
I don't mean this as a dis but it seems like the US isn't taking Iran serious. It feels like the US is just disciplining Iran like a child or a dog when they are naughty by slapping them on the hand or snout and telling them you're a bad boy. You'd think Iran launching missiles and drones would provoke another nation to strike back hard but instead it feels like US rolls its eyes and chastises Iran.

It gave me this kind of feeling when US officials dismissed the incident and said the war isn't back on. It's funny seeing X accounts get excited thinking the war is back on only to see US have a meh attitude.
"United States is like a scary dog: if you run from it, it will chase you; if you stand firm and stop, it will back off and run away." lol
 
Are you a 100% sure none hit the destroyers. They were anchored. How could they have missed unless they fired 1 or 2 for each destroyer just to scare them
Hitting a US vessel at this time, and possibly causing 100s of casualties is not something Iran would want. Thats a serious escalation. They were probably warning shots and the Americans are exaggerating as usual. They always want to make it look sensational.

China will provide its toys to anyone with $$$, they have a principled stand when it comes to money.. No need wondering
 
Like it or not you are in a ceasefire. There is 0% chance Iran tries to sink a U.S. warship during a ceasefire. Not going to happen. U.S. also knows this that’s why ships are much closer than during the war.
they didn't fire that many missiles at them to try not to hit them
 

When using a Close-In Weapon System (CIWS), such as the US Navy's Phalanx, the "danger" zone is extremely close—typically within 1 mile (1,600 meters) or less from the ship. CIWS is designed as a last-ditch defense against incoming missiles, meaning it engages when threats have already bypassed long-range defenses.

I think Iran fired some warning shots and this is a form of deterrence.

I don't know if CIWS were used but I do know that with an E-2D flying (which they likely had) Burkes can shoot down cruise missiles way beyond line of sight.
