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



My guess is the U.S. and West have gotten desperate regarding the oil situation and the dwindling reserves and this operation is to open Hormuz up by eliminating Iran’s coastal defenses.

Explains why they have been attacking the coastline this past month.

OK. So, the war has started already. Multiple Iranian sources confirm the explosions throughout Iran.

Not only Iran didn't do a damn thing when Trump said, several hours ago, that the US would attack Iran today, but it's already been half an hour and Iran hasn't even responded yet.

This is a pattern. Iranian decision makers never have a contingency plan, it seems. God save our people.
 
Defense Secretary is making it sound like the operations aim is to weaken Iran's hold on the Strait of Hormuz and not necessarily strikes deep in Iran
Agree. The entire American effort in the last couple months is focused on opening up the Strait , because oil reserves are desperately low and the high energy prices are a huge drag on the economy. This is why the US attacks have been focused on Iran's coast and the targets are units and facilities that Iran uses to control the Strait. It's why the US has been trying to get oil tankers out of the Strait using various surreptitious means.

This new OP also means that the American blockade has failed to subjugate Iran.

So what the Iranians can now do is treat this new Op as an opportunity to target these GCC oil tankers in the Strait. It will negate the entire American effort in the past few months and drive energy prices back above $100. Iran can bargain and then say we will stop when the US stops attacking and lifts the blockade.

This is possibly the best solution. Iran should sink Arab oil tankers in the Persian Gulf, the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea. This is even better than hitting Arab oil/gas installations.
