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

How come you don’t mine Oman waters with 1000 mines? How come you don’t attack UAE pipeline? How come you don’t attack US bases?

How will that break the blockade?

How will that break the blockade?

It will increase costs and pressure on the enemy. What is the pressure right now? $4 dollar gas?

Many of you echo chamber individuals were cheering the Houthi blockade of Israeli ships during Gaza war as pressure on enemy and against western trade. What did that accomplish? Today, Hamas is giving up its weapons, control, and disarming in Gaza.

What you think is “pressure”, is not really game changing pressure at the end of the day. The enemy is choking the life out of you and you think the equivalent is to take some money out of his wallet to make him stop.

All of this was fore told on here for years as Iran got smacked around in Syria with no proper response to the enemy.

All around incompetent leadership in both IRGC and in parliament and in the Supreme Leader role for decades.

 

[Immortals]

Another geriatric general of IRGC sprouting nonsense in his spare time. And people on here were worried that Iran is running out of old grandpa age generals.

Fear not! Iran has an endless stream of ‘Moft khors’ clogging up the military leadership

Deranged orange clown just threatened to bomb Oman because he doesn't like the fact they're close to signing a deal with Iran concerning SoH....and here's me thinking countries like Oman are America's allies - so much so that they host US bases on their land for protection. The same bases America will use to bomb a nation its meant to protect. You couldn't make this sh*t up lol....when will these people wake up and smell the coffee?

You realize the SPR is just a government reserve right?

There is also commercial inventories which are 400 million plus barrels of oil and products. The U.S. isn’t close to “running out” of oil.

Meanwhile Iran let China ships pass for free and how did China and Xi the western appeaser respond to this friendship? By making a back room deal with Trump whose administration called Chinese people “savages”.





China single handily destroyed Iranian leverage and thwarted the Iranian oil playbook tactic by stabilizing the oil markets and prolonging this conflict by giving Trump more time and remove immediate pressure on him prior to mid terms.

If anyone thinks this was just a coincidence they are naive. Xi is coming to visit Trump in USA next month. What deal is Trump prepared to give Xi the Western Appeaser to continue to cut back on oil imports?

You won't successfully pressure the us to end this war. Even if gas was $100 per gallon, americans won't do anything but make angry posts on facebook. To end the blockade you have to sink the ships enforcing it, which Iran cannot do.

I disagree, but won’t bother arguing you with you. One last point, Iran can attack Navy ships, it doesn’t have the will power. Because a mass casualty event would prolong the war in its mind. Meanwhile US sunk nearly the entire Iranian navy in 48 hours, as I said they would if the conflict broke out. Many on here disagreed.

And those submarines? Useless and never used while many on here claimed they would be used to sink tankers and U.S. warships that got to close to Arabian Sea or in the PG.

Iran has botched this entire war management just like these same individuals botched the Iraqi war and caused hundreds of thousands of unnecessary casualties using antiquated tactics. The same generals that fought in that war as officers are now leading this war as generals.

Iran couldn’t even find two downed pilots in its own territory nor stop a U.S. rescue operation. Incompetence doesn’t even begin to describe this military performance. Air defense was abysmal and even HZ and Houthi’s performed better with less equipment.

US allies are the western world and Israel. Rest are not "allies" even though that's what they call it. Those so called allies don't "host" US bases. US bases are forced on them. They don't have a choice but to accept it. Do you think Qatar can ask US to leave? Its next to impossible.

If you are a ruler of a tiny oil rich nation, saying no to US Hegemony means ending your rule Or bringing chaos to your country. The bases in those countries were never meant to protect these countries from onset. Those bases were meant to protect US interests and US hegemony. The primary objective of those bases is US interests. One of the main US interest is making money from oil rich region. US presence means US can extort these countries like anything which it does. These countries export oil, make money, US then extorts money by forcing these countries to invest billions in US or buy downgraded expensive weaponry from US manufacturers. US will lose this leverage if it leaves the bases.

Do you think Germany can ask USA to leave?, they are militarily occupied since WW2.

Anyway, times have changed. USA calls it "full spectrum dominance".

We dont know exactly how, but "allies" obey USA even in the most stupid self damaging ways.
Clearly visible in Europe with Ukraine war, and in Middle East with Iran war.

But judging vassals leaders behavior, it doesnt seem a hard blackmail, it seems more a sweet bribing, more carrot than stick in most of cases.
