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

Still, its not good. Charging toll tax by Iran from nature made Strait is not in intrest of Pak.
Interest or privilege?
Tommorow, if relation with Iran goes bad then Iran will start charging toll tax from Pak. Strait of Hormuz is not man made, not entirely owned by Iran as Oman is there too. Basically Iran is charging ghunda tax or bhatta from others.
Might is right (at least in the current world order),so what Iran is doing with the SOH is actually fine and right.
 
I am skeptical of this article by Prince Turki. Seems their original plan to defang Iran using the Americans/Israelis failed and they have moved on to Plan B. The Saudis, like the rest of the GCC, host American bases, provide logistical support, share radar and intelligence data and airspace with the US and fund American campaigns all over the region and in Africa. They are no innocent lambs.

I suppose these are pre-existing arrangements, that continued during the war, the prince makes the distinction that the Saudis did not become active themselves.

This is typical Saudi behavior: let others do the heavy lifting even though they have the means, but not the ability to defend themselves. Pathetic.
 


I am actually glad Pakistan did this. They have their priorities clear.

USA will leave Pakistan high and dry again, just like in the 90s, but Iran is our permanent neighbour and here to stay.

Once again, we already have bad blood with 2 our of our 4 neighbours. We cannot afford another one on our western frontier.

Oh please. Prince Sultan airbase is from where ALL American air campaigns since the 1991 Persian Gulf war have been staged and directed, including this attack on Iran. If Saudis didnt want this war they could have denied their airspace and the use of Prince Sultan airbase. Entire GCC was on board with this war.
 
The United States uses Saudi military bases to invade Iran. When Iran attacks these bases, the United States and its allies condemn Iran for attacking the Gulf countries, including India.

India did not condemn the aggression of the Epstein alliance, but condemned Iran's attacks on the Gulf countries.

This despicable double standard is the main reason for the chaos in the world situation.

We need to acknowledge that the restraint of the Gulf countries has indeed prevented the escalation of war.
 
How do you know these are the protestors and not plain-clothed forces?
Both videos appear to be plain-clothed forces shooting at the protestors, not the other way around.
Your opinions on Iran make me know you are not actually loyal to Iran (you could even be some type of agent of a foreign country)and you are an undercover shahi who loves Pahlavi. If Iran trusted you, Iran would be taken over by US and Israel so quickly.

Israel has a fan club here. they have an official Hasbara team working diligently.

what you say sure makes sense if we look at what was going on. But it could also be a great Deception. Who knows if the Saudi's were actually helpless in all this since they dont/cant control the americans from listening to them....just like how they allowed Doha to be struck by Israel....
Israel wants to give Iran the impression that entire gulf was against them, so that both iran and the gulf region wipe out each other so israel can rule the region

this is why there are cracks in the relationships between KSA and America.
Its been ongoing for a while, even before the war.
 
Yes but the bigger issue for Trump is how to get something better looking for him which would not involve dozens or even hundreds or even thousands of body bags coming home to America. That would destroy Trump and his supine Republican stooges in the Congress.
I think at this point, I don't rule out an offramp based on the ongoing diplomacy. The other options could be:
1) Two more weeks of intense attacks to further degrade Iran; that's Netanyahu's Minimal Viable Product (MVP), to use a business term.
2) A staged tit for tat like what happened at the end of the June 2025 conflict.

Both of them would allow Americans to declare 'victory' and leave but both would eventually be an Iranian 'victory' and the Israelis know that though the Israelis would take option #1 as best. But option #1 would risk significant American casualties and #2 is something Iranians might not agree with--though they should as long as the Americans leave!
If you understand American football, Trump is sitting on 2nd and 20. For all practical purpose he can’t wait to get to 3rd and 30.
There is an underlying belief on the right wing side that Iranians are a bunch of goat herders , and Chinese are paper tigers.
It was the idea of the right wing that US needs to put its foot down in Middle East. I literally heard Maria Bartiromo on Fox News that US needs to put its foot on China’s throat.
In any event there is a price to pay for hubris. I don’t see how he gets out of this box he put himself in.
It is incredible that Trump fired John Bolton in his first term for promoting war in ME !!
 


1000 shekel post…
F*ck they going to do about this? Other than complaining online

Well, can we blame the Pakistani govts new "boldness and confidence" when it compares the potency of Pakistan's military to how badly US performed militarily against Iran. In summary,US let Pakistan know it's a paper tiger, and that wasn't going to be consequence free. The consequences of the US military not "performing well" against iran will be grave for the empire.
