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

[030292]

Saudi Arabia used about 86% of its stockpiled 2,800 Patriot PAC-3 interceptors in the first 38 days of combat in the Iran War - Reuters/CSIS

After firing roughly 2,400 PAC-3s, the country was reportedly left with only 400 interceptors by April.

2,400 in 38 days ?!

I dont get this, iran didnt even fire that many projectiles at ksa, maybe less that 100 in the entire war.

Were these saudi patriot missiles wasted to intercept missiles which were going to israel?

Yeah, weird. Iran fired approx. 300 missiles and drones at KSA during the war.

Are they using 7-8 interceptors per target? Lol.

More Attacks from the Houthis

Iran will control Hormuz, and will have a lot of influence over the Red Sea corridor, and I'm very moderate in description of Iran as "having influence" in that area...

You are forgetting Saudi’s likely had to protect Bahrain as well. And many attacks against KSA INTIALLY likely went under reported to save face.

Possibly Saudi would prefer to make other two countries join against Yemen campaign at first step.

Pakistan refused to join the Saudi led 2015 Yemen campaign and officially does not recognise Houthis as terror group. Turkiye also does not recognise Houthis as a terror group. The situation did not change much but only a fragile ceasefire that is somewhat broken now and all issues unresolved.

So it would contradict Pakistans previous refusal to join Yemen campaign in 2015. Also all of a sudden recognising houthis as terrorists etc and would again be somewhat illogical for Turkiye and Pakistan as well. So the issue is complicated for Saudi-Yemen conflict and logically the countries wont be involved in this conflict for the sake of Saudis want it or for financial benefits I think/hope

Pakistan and Turkey would join in a defense role against the Houthis. I dont see Turkey sending its navy to confront the houthis near the yemeni coast for example.

For the first time Saudi oil export to American mainland reached zero bpd.

The route that bypassed Persian Gulf in the red sea and enabled Saudi oil export to the US mainland was closed by Ansrallah.

Outcome: The importance of America's long-standing regional ally—the House of Saud—diminished significantly for the Americans.

They fired 20 interceptors against one missile once. I have to find the video but generally the gulf states unload dozens of interceptors against a single target.

People don’t realize it’s easier to destroy a PIPELINE than it is to destroy a fleet of 100 tankers.

All Iran had to do is hit a few pumping stations with drones and missiles and suddenly 10MBPD of pressurized flow stops. That is a lot easier then having to hit 30 tankers everyday to keep a strait closed.

At 4 million each, that make's it $11 billion in missiles alone to defend the Americans on Saudi land, where were there to "defend them originally"..

The US refers to "its costs" to fight Iran, but maybe the total for what all of the US "allies" spent defending the Americans maybe should be factored in as well? In addition to the cost of the destroyed bases.

That can be repaired quickly as well. Meanwhile Replacing Tankers is not only difficult but also unsustainable.

These gcc countries pay a pretty penny to buy these expensive toys and let americans operate these toys only to defend israel, we saw that last year when israel dropped bombs on doha and centcom didnt even fire a single missile to intercept israeli laura ALBMs despite qatar having the biggest american base in the region and serving as HQ of centcom.
