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

[Meengla]

IRGC: The era of "hit and run" is over, and the forces of aggression must bear the dire consequences of their ignorance and their uncalculated adventures.

It is obvious that Iran is willing to take whatever pain to keep its sovereignty and apparently also confident of its abilities to cause significant pain to the attackers as well as able to ride out the huge economic pain for at least next few months. Otherwise, Iran will become another Syria or Lebanon: A 'lawn' to be periodically 'mowed'.

The attack prior to this attack, destroy two MQ series drones, so USA assets are on the ground.

And injured 5 US soldiers

 

[Persian Gulf]

According to @Lulldapull those bases were decimated by Iran long ago early in the battle.

So @Lulldapull whats your theory now ?

The bases took a lot of damage but they are still being used

I will be honest. If I would be the US, I would not keep MQ drones or any other expensive / important asset so close to Iran.

I'd keep those at Jordan.

In this attack? If confirmed, then it makes all sense.

No missiles were fired at Saudi Arabia.
Iran is leading Saudi Arabia and Qatar out of this so that it has some allies on the other side.
The fact it’s left UAE also alone is surprising.

Per some Pakistani media, UAE has backpaddled at least a bit on its letting the Israelis have more presence in UAE against Iran.

CENTCON: all missiles intercepted

Kuwait airport now:

At this point we can even consider the debris from missiles as MIRV & MaRVs based on CENTCOM intelligence report

I believe like menthol sahbs hinted that US still uses them for dispersal. Areas of AL-Dhafra in UAE are still operational. Lots of HAS's which Iran needs to take out and demolish where aircraft are stored.

The US flies in fresh units in from Israel/ AL-Muwafuqq bin Salty base and forward deploys them as needed.

Remember the Shahid-136 which took the face off of that CH-47 in Kuwait AL-Salim few months ago?

Satellite images taken today confirm the destruction of a hangar for drones and military aircraft at coordinates 29°21’04.72”N, 47°30’14.06”E inside Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait

 

[Persian Gulf]

Kuwait's Ministry of Defense says Iran fired 13 ballistic missiles and 17 drones at the country

This response was much bigger than expected

 

[Persian Gulf]

Confirmed precise destruction of aircraft hangar at U.S. base in Kuwait plus severe damage to Kuwait airport

CENTCOM: all missiles and drones were intercepted

It takes a lot to destroy a base. I believe US bases in the Mideast were damaged but still operational. It's also about punishing countries that host US bases and turning America's military presence into a liability.

Iran cannot win by playing the game the US wants to play.

Kuwait airport now:

Soon Kuwait will have a choice, either get use to daily poundings or tell the americans to leave.

Kuwait, UAE, and Bahrain are very vulnerable to future Iranian attacks. I don't even consider them as 'nations'. But my guess is that they are unable to ask the Americans to leave. But also consider any major American presence in those countries: They too would be very vulnerable to Iranian attacks and the Iranians would know a war is coming again if there be movements of American naval assets to the region and the American bases in those countries evacuated. In short, the American bases would be a liability to the Americans themselves!

Kuwait airport now:

Kuwait just opened this airport terminal a few days ago, and now it’s destroyed again

They could just tell the U.S. to stop attacking Iran from Kuwaiti territory, but it seems that’s too difficult for them
