US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

[lightning f57]

There are no HIMARS videos from Qatar.

No from Bahrain and possibly Kuwait aswell was reported.

They used BMs where their military lesders were showing off its use after hitting a sports centre killing kids as young as 2 years old, sickos. Jane's said it was likely fired from Mid east bases.
Mckenzie intelligence analyst saying

"US Central Command has admitted to using PrSM in strikes from the desert of an unnamed Gulf country against Iran in the early phases of the conflict"

Video shows US missile likely used in deadly strike on Iranian town, experts say

The analysts identified a Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) in footage of the strike on the southern town of Lamerd.

Then Gulf countries wonder why Iran hits them.

The USA is using bases in the Gulf. This is an example of the USA using AWACs from Saudi to co-ordinate attacks over Iran. It was taken out by Iran.

US Central Command has not yet publicly commented on the incident.

Also there’s been a lot of hubbub about the hit on the E-3. While it’s an important asset, the Air Force has been attempting to retire them for some time now. Around a dozen or so have been retired the last few years. Frankly, the technology on them is outdated relative to the E-2Ds and the US operates 75+ of those. If the Air Force truly wants to cover that E-3 gap they could pull one from the recently retired E-3s. Otherwise, they could cover the gap with E-2s.

The point is the Iranians have destroyed an active military asset that was being militarily used against them in combat operations. That is an achievement, regardless of "retirement timelines". It is in the same way that all THAAD radars in the Middle East have been destroyed, with only some (>1 ? ) remaining in Israel as of now. That too, is a significant achievement.

Arab kingdoms will likley be billed by the US for the cost of war. UAE and KSA have already invested in a multi billion dollar project witn Ukraine.

These so called Arab leaders are really the worst of the worst. they waste resources that belong to their people and its disgusting to think how much they have given and will give to the likes of Trump

As if Iran’s bases are all unscathed? Do you think there is ANY military base in Iran where they can park something outside without worry? Meanwhile US heavy aircraft are lining up on islands and carriers over the horizon (basically without worry) hitting targets at will.

I have no doubt that Iran will win any war with US despite the advantages US have.

I only feel sad that my iranian brothers wll pay a high price. Hopefully Muslim countries will learn never to trust Americans ever again

Yes, but Iranian fire is having little effect on US operations even in those countries. They’ve not been able to counter HIMARS ballistic missile fire. The US has only lost 7 KIA from Iranian attacks. 6 of those in a single drone attack. Iran is inflicting less casualties on US forces than the Iraqis 35 years ago, even though Iran has far more strike power. It’s remarkable really.

Am surprised American and Israelis admitted any losses.

The Israelis have a policy not to disclose any losses, and if does happen you can't report on it as a citizen.
There is a massive damage, there's plenty out there. They want this war to end and are relying on the US.

Israelis have lost dozens of tanks on their northern borders but each time they just mostly claim casualties and thats it

Maybe. Maybe not. Like the KC-135, most of those airframes are as old as I am. Most are likely suitable only for parts sourcing.

The Air Force tried to cancel the E-7 in favor of moving more and more of the C&C to space-based platforms. It is Congress who is forcing the E-7 on them.

These so called Arab leaders are really the worst of the worst.

They pay the US protection money so they don't get toppled. We see this all over the world unfortunately, greedy leaders only caring for themselves, trumpy the market manipulator case in point.

what does winning look like for Iran?
- the regime survives, but rules over rubble with no way to provide for its people?
- 20% of the worlds oil and gas is offline for years
If Iran wins, I'm assuming of course that Iranian infrastructure and means of revenue will be destroyed in malice with Iran responding in kind and destroying Arab O&G industries.

There is no winning for any of us. I guess the only ones winning are those that are able to bring oil and gas to market at exorbitant prices.

Edit: As per my research Russian imaging satellites pass over the Strait twice a day. Not often enough to allow Iranians to effectively target merchant vessels using Russian satellite intel.

A container ship was just targeted few hours back.

yes but the US hasn't yet attempted to protect shipping in the Strait.

What choice does Iran have? Fight or give up its sovereignty and its oil wealth to the US?

For the people in power its do or die, this is not a war they started your government did and its your government that can end it. But trumpy wont end it and this will be costly for all involved, but not Israel.

He repeatedly fails to comprehend that "be genocide and like it" isn't as compelling an argument as he thinks.
