US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

[Ali_Baba]

Will be the biggliest bestiest ever. Bigger than the whole wide world - big enough to blow the world up 10 times over. Biggier than his ego. Biggier in the friggen bloody world.
God he talks some right crap

The question is can the USA deploy more into theatre than they did last time ? They start this round with fewer bases and longer logistic supply lines from Jordan/Israel.

How much will the GCC be involved this time, will they directly attack Iran alongside the USA?

Has the USA found any tactics, or doctrine that will make them anymore effective than last time ?

Has the USA found new targets it can attack ? Are there many targets left, other than civilian power infrastructure?

Will it try Spec Ops missions to try and land forces to take out the missile bases from the ground ?

Additionally, will Iran be more successful in trying to shoot down a B2 Bomber attack on PicAxe mountain? Given the type of ordinance required, it will require a direct overflight on a predictable route.

Even if they kill the new Supreme Leader and other senior leaders, will it make Iran "bend" the knee to the USA ?

Alot of questions, and unknowns.

I suspect the Americans will not wait until the weekend given the flow of platforms and I don't think Trump cares about the global economy anymore either.

That's how he attracts all the attention. He just says one random thing after another, and other world leaders don't get any attention.

... My point? If you care about justice then you stand with the Jews, with the Zionists. Anything else is endorsing madness.

Why does that sound so daft?

As the NATO Secretary General stated during a press conference with Donald Trump, the United States flew more than 5,000 sorties from European air bases during the campaign.

If the total number of US sorties was around 13,000 over approximately 40 days, that would leave roughly 8,000 sorties originating from other locations, such as US aircraft carriers, Diego Garcia, Israel (where applicable), direct long-range missions from the United States, and US military facilities elsewhere in the region.

In my opinion, the United States was likely cautious about relying heavily on air bases in Arab countries because of their close proximity to Iran and the potential risks that could pose to host nations and US forces.

So if Iran was unable to prevent air operations launched from European bases and US aircraft carriers, and if the US and its allies were to further increase their use of European facilities, I don't think Washington would have much reason to fear Iranian retaliation against those bases.

In my opinion, the IRGC has exhausted most of its strategic options and is increasingly relying on threats against smaller Arab states to project strength and maintain its image within Iranian society.
