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

[kobra]

When they get attack so fiercely by Iran, then no blame for them to let American attack Iran from their land

Before the Iran fierce attack, no Arab countries let US use their land to attack Iran. It is just so brainless to do for that rich small countries

Who started the attack, what a stupid idiotic logic...insane

Weakening Jordans ability to defend US and Israeli bases helps to hedge against an eventual Israeli attack.

Absolutely - taking out the infrastructure that is used to shoot down Iranian missiles, is a good hedge for preparing to fight Israel again in the event that they choose to enter the war.

Esfahan has one of the largest jewish populations of the world. They wont made Esfahan a primairy target.

Israel destroyed one of the oldest Synagogues in Iran back in April. They hate Iranian Jews because they are Iranian and not Zionists!!!

A famous saying in Urdu language: 'Hum to dobein gey Sanam par tum to khi lein dobein gey!'
"As I sink, my beloved, I will also drown you along!"

I don't know how to respond to this kind of stupid by the Kuwaiti information minister, they deserve all the beatings they are currently getting and hopefully some common sense can be beaten into them in the process.

Bro I highly doubt kuwait is even a sovereign country, they are completely doing what the Americans are either requesting or forcing.

"But Pickering is more focused on China than Iran. That's because China emerged as the so-called swing importer, cutting its world-leading oil imports by roughly 5 million barrels a day and leaning on its oil and fuel strategic reserves that also lead the world..."

Trump’s time is running out to avoid a nightmare Strait of Hormuz scenario | Fortune

Global oil flows remain stunted as stockpiles are depleted, and demand is set to rise again.

fortune.com

This should be a wake up call to Pakistani users who think China would ever challenge the U.S. under Xi. When Trump visited China this year in the midst of the war with Iran, “magically” Chinese oil imports dropped due to “economic reasons” to help the Western AND INDIA AND JAPAN cope with the energy crisis.

What did Trump offer Xi to get him to do that?

China helping it own enemies that will one day choke off China energy needs without a second thought if it means helping collapsing China.

Now China is starting to increase imports again. But it should not be lost on people how easily and quickly Xi helped America/Europe/India/Japan. This level of appeasement is embarrassing and was a hallmark of Putin relations with Europe/America from 2000-2020. And in the end what did Russia get out of it? Xi is making the same critical errors that Putin did.

Western appeasement never ends well.

Your analysis doesn't help though...

China backed the ceasefire... pushed Pakistan and alleviated the global pressure by using their own reserves...

For China to resume buying now means that cushion is lost at the worst possible time for orange... he has not only no alternative... he burnt through the US reserves simultaneously. That when Russians themselves are feeling the pinch because their refining capacity has taken a devastating hit. They're importing fuel...

Putin played it badly... he allowed Ukraine to stabilize and establish their niche... his task is harder as EU goes on offensive. However, Russian front has greatly helped Iran in other ways... such as the depletion of critical munitions and interceptors that keep getting chewed up in that war. The US itself needs the sour crude as the winter approaches for heating oil consumers. It means a whole lot of oil is going off market while the reserves are heading to the bottom.
Orange overplayed his ego...

We should finish Kuwait first

This is an old habit. I remember people watching the Iran Iraq war from Saudi and Kuwaiti ports, enjoying the sight of heavy night fire and missile exchanges. These GCC nations financed Iraq for eight years, thinking they would remain safe while the US attacked Iran. However, Iran completely rewrote its war strategy, making its defensive posture bluntly clear. These GCC countries should know how it feels when war knock on your door.

The GCC Arab behavior was Ostrich's behavior. And a part of me can understand their geopolitics: They were part of the Pax Americana which yielded great generational wealth. Which rich man would ever want to disrupt the apple cart? Those countries thought to continue the gravy train of great wealth as being part of Pax Americana but they forgot they are in the Middle East: A region charged with religious zealotry spanning multiple continents and with historic grudges--and with immense easily accessible wealth to boot! But I am sure they had known that Israeli presence was a danger to them but they couldn't do anything about it in face of a Superpower's financial and military muscle.
And so the Petro Dollar continued, which also lifted hundreds of millions across the globe out of poverty. Until the 1979 Iranian Revolution came, which must be seen by History as a significant event like the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia.
In short, the Middle East is a unique combination--a toxic one-- of human irrationality and human greed. I wished Pakistan was geographically far from it but, alas, Pakistan is not.

Iran is using Kuwait as ‘an example’ of what it can do in retaliation​

Within Iran, there is “a gradual lack of feeling that any kind of restraint is going to be beneficial to negotiations”, Roxane Farmanfarmian, a professor of Middle East politics at the University of Cambridge, tells Al Jazeera.

“I think we’re seeing from the op-eds that we’re reading in Iran’s newspapers and media, that there is a hardening generally in feeling that Iran needs to hit hard, to sustain and show endurance, but also to affect American ability to maintain too much of a time on this war.

“I think what we’re seeing is that they’re using Kuwait, in particular, as an example of what they can do in retaliation.

“The US is clearly hitting the south in Iran and hitting airports, desalination plants and bridges, and so the same kinds of things are being hit now in Kuwait to show what kind of effect Iran really can have on those countries that are hosting American bases.”

This region will be more hot in coming years, due to scarcity of natural resources and modern technology demands. Check the history when British tried to took over Iran oil refineries and forced them to write a dirty one sided agreement in totally British favor....that's when the Iran revolution started ....

Kuwait is a hall pass - a freebie to tell the rest of the Arab states of what is in store for them. I do think Iran should go all out and take out 50% of their electrical and water infrastructure. Not enough to cause life sustainment issues, but enough to cause long term bother to the people of the country on their luxury lifestyles and a lesson on the consequences of the actions of their leaders. Something that will niggle for months, while repairs are done.
