UK and European bases and airspace have been used by the US throughout this war. This is likely just a re-approval by the new PM.

That is beside the point, please read the article to understand why I linked it instead of just dismissing it as a BAU statement. I feel it's a little simplistic to just say, that's how it's always been.

Permission to use strategic bases = access to land, fly and operate bombers from said airbases. As you will note in June all but 2 of the USAF heavy bombers departed RAF Mildenhall, Fairford back home to the US, this signals their potential reintroduction into theatre which also is a possible prelude to deeper strikes inside Iran (God Forbid).

Furthermore, the main thing as I have pointed out previously - is the fact that Deigo Garcia is now open for use by the US.

Excuses. Iran has missiles they can choose where to target them. They actively choose to not go back to Jordan, Qatar, UAE, Baboon Arabia.

Instead of keeping the pedal to the gas and continue to hit Jordan and Qatar and UAE, they go “thank you white man for not hitting our tiny bridges. We will go back to beating up these sand monkeys while you go back to your regular scheduled broadcasting of bombing the shit out of our bases and ports.”

It’s clear there was a local IRGC commander or commander’s who were tasked with targeting Jordan and were eventually told to cut it out by the Rezaei’s of the world who want to exercise “restraint”.

Will see what happens next couple of days war is far from i feel like i tend to be more optimistic with Iran and I do feel the Hezbollah card has gone super quiet as of late I recall when people said they were down and out and came roaring back I think they are biding their time for the signal from Iran like before

They are purposely trying to collapse the tunnels before they strike PickAxe so Iran cannot retaliate as hard.

Meanwhile Iran will target Kuwait and Bahrain for the 90th time this month because they are soft and afraid of escalation.

This time around, Air defense is not working at all. In 40 days war they did achieve some success in locking/hitting few targets.

Refuelers were parked in the open in israil for taking, flew 2 hours ago, bombing happened now returning to the bases.

What sort of approach is this by IR. Sames the case with pgcc piglets, now iran must have to target israil.

Drones are still falling out of the skies they have taken out cruise missiles etc manned fighter jets and helicopters I think were hit more for the fact they were flying low and repetitive routes so Iran figured it out and was able to hit or down them manpads

You make all this sound so easy.

Hezbullah has been damaged heavily. Some of the villages, from where these young brave men beling have been wipped of from nap by israil...

If anything, i think hezb should be worried about syrian problem. It can come to score settles, now with US and Israil, behind newly appointed/selected ameer ul momineen, things going to be very difficult for them..

Over 20+ strikes on Parchin military and nuclear development base and now expanding to Karaj and other parts of Tehran province.

Atleast they could have fired missiles, no? Few k4 with dispersing fragments would surely damage some of these tanker even with 20% success rate of bypassing Missile defense.

Because we have bunch of soft leaders.

It’s better if Israel joins this war and starts the assassination campaign because there is still WAYYYY too much deadweight in the IRGC and Political bureau (Qalibaf, Zarif, etc) that need to be cleansed out of the system.

Careful what you wish. Rouhani can be SL. Zarif clan will never be targeted.

Wow US is on roids... No stopping and not backing dow...

Here’s another guy who says Hezbollah is down and out I’m thinking they took a much needed breather regrouping and as soon as Iran signals they’re back in stronger than before…..not even going to mention Syria in a fight against Israel the day they defend people in Syrian lands against Israeli aggression we can bring up Syria
