Jordan claims it intercepted 3 missiles from Iran

Videos show at least 6 warheads evading interceptors, meaning at least 3 impacts are guaranteed

Bahrain used 14+ patriot interceptors overnight

 

[Persian Gulf]

Slightly stronger response from Iran in terms of volume and new targets in Syria, but nothing very impactful and no response to infrastructure strikes

Crimea bridge attack?

 

[F.O.X]

European and German naval assets are steadily entering the picture in the Persian Gulf, with Germany's minesweeper Fulda and support ship Mosel already transiting toward the region alongside British, French, Italian, and Dutch contributions. these deployments signal a serious multinational effort to secure the Strait of Hormuz through mine clearing and freedom of navigation operations. If the US and its allies succeed in keeping the strait reliably open by force when necessary, Iran risks losing nearly all the strategic leverage it gained during the war. Tehran’s ability to threaten closure had been its strongest card, disrupting global energy flows and bolstering its negotiating position but a secured Hormuz would neutralize that threat, restore market driven oil exports under international oversight, and likely leave Iran economically weaker and more isolated than before the conflict began.

The minesweepers wont be entering SOH in these conditions they will be sitting ducks to missiles and drones.

These demilitarized roaches from Europe have no militaries or other coercive capabilities.

What Germany can do with its military of 179.000 troops, 150 tanks, 100 Taurus missiles, couple of vessels and lack of power projection capabilities?

How Iran treats Germany? In 2011 Iran at first allowed Angela Merkels plane to pass over its airspace but then denied passage forcing her plane to make circles over Turkey.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel's flight to India is delayed after Iran's government refuses it permission to fly over the country.

This is how Iran treats Japan:

On June 13, 2019, Shinzo Abe met with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Tehran. It was a historic trip—the first by a sitting Japanese prime minister to Iran in over 40 years

And the same day when Abe was talking with Khamenei, Iran hit Japanese oil tankers in the Gulf.

Iran treats Gulf Arabs in the same way - this is how Saudi Arabia will look like if Trump attacks Iran's electricity infrastructure.

Iran speaks equally only with the likes of US, China, Russia.

 

[Yasser76]

Well at least Iran is not attacking Saudi, from a Pak perspective that is a relief.

Unsure why the kids gloves with UAE but attacking the Qataris who tried hard for peace. Granted they have restricted thmselves to US bases in Qatar but what about US bases in UAE?

Something seems a bit off here....

The situation this time around looks different. They haven't been able o emalute what they dif in March.

The survival / salvation of Iran lays in (1) taking on Israel and not completely relaying on the Arab states. (2) Invoking the chokepoint of Bab Almandab, SoH is they can

Mine clearance operations are actually underway, mine sweepers don't operate on their own they have escort ships such as destroyers and command ships.

The US have also been conducting mine clearing operations:

US Navy conducts autonomous minehunting operations in the Strait of Hormuz - Navy Lookout

With Iran possibly having mined the Strait of Hormuz, it has been confirmed that the US Navy is deploying autonomous systems in an effort to assess and then clear the mine threat. This will be a major test of autonomous mine countermeasures capabilities in a very demanding operational...

Strait of Hormuz belongs to Iran

It's Iran's right to close it when it is attacked for by the US and it's allies

And whose father allocated the Strait to Iran?

 

[Mav3rick]

This narrative of what happened is totally separated from reality.

In an alternate universe where everything is opposite, in someone's imagination; right?

 

[Mav3rick]

You're not right.
They were travelling under the protection of US Navy (they lost a MH60S with a Commander inside) well before these attacks. And weeks before there were small attack just to remind that South corridor is designed to void the Iranians rights on the MOU.

The bigger question is, was Iran allowed to trade its Oil? were sanctions to be lifted? were frozen assets to be released? was peace not on the table? and then someone in Iran decided to damn it all away.

 

[Mav3rick]

Allowing bases on their land and foreign troops makes them a legitimate target. If they attack Iran and their sovereignty - then they ought to expect to be smashed.
Simple

There is a very big 'if' the attacks originate from those bases; otherwise every country has a legitimate right to host bases of its allies. If Iran is attacked from one of these bases then Iran has a legitimate right to strike back at that base. However, Iran does not have a right to attack any US bases in the region which is hosted in a soverign country from which attack on Iran has not originated.
