what are you talking about?
What happened to Hadi? he had a two year mandate but failed to call elections at the end of his term. then he resigned, then he fled to Saudi Arabia and revoked his resignation, and asked Saudi Arabia to carpet bomb his own country / people until he can return, then Saudi Arabia got bored of him and replaced him with someone else who now rules a small sliver of Yemen from Aden while Ansarallah controls 70% of the population of Yemen. but this guy is the legitimate leader? who said that? because Saudis invaded Yemen and created the worst humanitarian disaster in the world and endless war crimes and slaughtering of children and civilians to keep him in power from Aden?
Yemen war: Saudi-led air strike on bus kills 29 children
The children, all under the age of 15, died in a Saudi-led coalition attack in the rebel-held north.

and now Saudis impose a siege on Yemen's airport in the capital, and bomb the airport to stop an Iranian civilian plane from landing there, returning Yemeni dignitaries from Khamenei's funeral in Iran. what gave the Saudis the right to control who can use Yemen's airports?

Can we blame them? Is this the first time a belligerent state is committing war crimes in history? Even in modern history? Didn't the Shiite majority Iraq commit worse crimes against us?
The blame is on us for losing our deterrence. Not anybody else. Everything that is happening now could've been predicted with certainty when Trump assassinated Gen. Soleimani and all we did was a symbolic strike with prior warning to the Iraqis hours before launching it.
What happened to "Warships are dangerous, but more dangerous is the weapon that can sink them at the bottom of the sea."?
What happened to "If the Americans attack Iran, the initiation of the war will be by them but the termination of the war will be by us"?
What happened to "If the Israelis attack Iran, they will have no airports to land when they return"?
All these years we knew that we stood no chance against the US without nuclear weapons. And all these years we did nothing to acquire them and instead preferred to be the only state in the world that threatens and provokes Israel and the US every week.

Still no reciprocal retaliation against water desalination plants in UAE and Qatar. Kish is very urban, it is not some unpopulated sand dune. Many civilians will be affected. The attack on the Chabahar port control tower should have been answered by targeting the same at jebel ali port. That went unanswered and so will this.

That sounds like our old friend _ARABIA_!I read an article where the Saudis tried to put the blame on the other Yemen government…….i didn’t want to go there but I pop in on other threads seeing what people are saying and I saw this long thing about how Saudi government tells no lies and are completely honorable

That works only if we are willing to go all in.
Deterrence against the US will be established once thousands of body bags start to return to the American families and the Americans have to pay $10 dollars per gallon at gas stations. And for that to happen, Iran needs nuclear deterrence.

The Islamic Republic has already normalized targeting our vital civilian infrastructure. The US knows it can send Iran back to the stone age, as Trump has recently reiterated again, and there will be zero consequences for Americans or Arabs.

IRGC generals were either deluded or lying for sure, but we can still document and criticise war crimes committed against Iranians to build a justification for reciprocal strikes.

Have you considered that once we are reciprocating their strikes and trying to go up the escalation ladder, the US may eventually decide to use nuclear weapons or blow up our power plants, dams, LNG plants, even medical supplies?
It's not like Trump hasn't already made tens of genocidal threats against Iran and our nation.

2-3 tankers/vessels are hit on a daily basis (on the Omani side).

this is a war against the world's military superpower, you don't win those, you only survive with a lot of damage (at best)
so the question is how to survive without total surrender or civil war / state collapse. you have to take risks and show balls, not try to respond in a calibrated fashion and engage in a war of attrition with a far more powerful enemy
