US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

[The SC]

It does not work like that, Iran or Afghanistan cannot station 50000 Indian soldiers next to Pakistans border for example. Ukraine cannot put NATO next to Russian border.

From your rants I guess you're a frustrated lowlife, with no knowledge about International Law.

1. The 1907 Hague Convention V (War on Land)

• Relevance to Kuwait: Under Articles 2 and 5, Kuwait is bound to prevent foreign belligerents (the US) from using its land territory as a transit point or staging ground for military supply convoys and troop movements deployed against Iran. By allowing these bases to actively logistically facilitate or launch offensive military actions against Iran, Kuwait risks violating its structural obligations under the law of land neutrality.

2. The 1907 Hague Convention XIII (War at Sea)

• Relevance to Bahrain: Bahrain hosts the US Navy's 5th Fleet. Article 5 of this convention explicitly forbids warring states from utilizing a neutral country's ports, harbors, or territorial waters as a base for naval operations, refueling, or logistical resupply against an enemy. If the 5th Fleet executes offensive operations or maritime logistics targeting Iran directly from Manama, Bahrain is technically in breach of maritime neutrality laws.
  
  
• Once a country becomes a co-belligerent by providing active logistics to an attacker, the target state (Iran) gains the legal right to target those exact logistics nodes and bases under the framework of self-defense (Article 51 of the UN Charter).

"Allow"?.. GCC didn't allow anything.. it is the US that took the matter into its hands..Since the problem is their bases..

Self-Defense Threshold: Under Article 51 of the UN Charter, Iran could argue that because Kuwait cannot control its own territory, Iran has the right to strike those specific U.S. military targets inside Kuwait to neutralize an imminent threat.

You are unable to spot this contradiction ? The US bases in the GCC and other Mideast dictatorships are built with the permission of the governments and enjoy the support and protection of these same governments. In return they get access to western weapons, markets, technologies.

The key point is that Iran is not a major nuclear power like the United States, Russia, or China; it does not have the capability to define the regional security architecture. Even the U.S., Russia, and China have not blockaded straits to charge fees.

Do not use Pakistan and India as examples. The ally Iran chose is not Pakistan or China, but India.

Here's what I understood so far:

-As we know, skirmishes between Washington and Tehran are still continuing on a daily basis

Today, Trump gave a dangerous and significant statement, saying: Starting from this moment, every time Iran fires on a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, whether with a missile, shell, drone, or any other means or weapon, the United States will bomb and destroy one bridge or one power station, including bridges or stations located next to or within the capital, Tehran.

A short while ago, Majeed al-Moussawi, commander of the aerospace force in the Revolutionary Guard, said: If our bridges and power plants are targeted, a power outage to the allies and hosts of child killers will be inevitable.

-So we are facing great tension that we will witness in the coming hours and days if everyone insists on their position and the tension of war rises.

-Israel says it is ready to resume fierce fighting against Iran, and Netanyahu will meet Trump next week

-Al-Houthi, in turn, since he threatened to target Saudi ships, did not implement what he said, especially after the firm Saudi statement that the Kingdom would be struck with an iron hand.

-The area, as usual, is hot
Britain warned its citizens against going to Israel

This is one heck of an argument to justify Iranians illegal interventions. This is what I was looking for, how far/low you'd stoop to justify something that Iran does but in the same breath would condemn USA/Israel for doing the same thing. I rest my case. You are the same person who agree with your compatriots viewpoint that Iran has a right to control Oman territorial waters and Oman has no say in it. The same logic US/Zionists apply to wage war on Iran.

I don't view what Iran and the US does as qualitatively comparable in any sense. Nor should any fair minded person. If you do, that's OK, you are welcome to your opinion.

Biggest India ally is PGCC according to the facts:

1. Total Bilateral Trade Volume
GCC-India: Reached a historic high of $178.56 billion (FY 2024–25).
Iran-India: Crushed by sanctions, fluctuating at a minimal $2.31 billion (2024).

2. Energy & Oil Dependency
GCC-India: Remains India's largest oil source, providing over 35% of its crude and 70% of its LNG.
Iran-India: Reduced to zero crude oil imports since 2019 due to U.S. secondary sanctions.

3. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
GCC-India: Massive capital integration with over $31 billion in sovereign wealth invested in India.
Iran-India: Virtually no reciprocal investment capital outside of India's targeted port funding.

4. Joint Military Exercises
GCC-India: High-level combat drills across all branches (Sada Tanseeq army drills, Desert Eagle air combat).
Iran-India: Strictly limited to basic, low-stakes naval port calls and passing exercises (PASSEX).

5. Strategic Defense Treaties
GCC-India: Deeply institutionalized via formal strategic defense partnerships (e.g., UAE defense industry pacts).
Iran-India: No defense pacts, limited to diplomatic dialogue to protect regional maritime stability.

6. Defense Technology & Sales
GCC-India: India actively markets domestic systems like BrahMos and Akash missiles to the Gulf.
Iran-India: Strictly zero arms transfers or defense industrial sharing to avoid Western sanctions.

7. Critical Infrastructure Assets
GCC-India: Shared energy infrastructure, including strategic crude storage at the UAE’s Fujairah facility.
Iran-India: Centered entirely on India’s development of the Chabahar Port as a bypass to Central Asia.

Finish your homework before leaving comments with no value.

It seems you forgot about Iran’s options such as Chabahar Port, cooperation with india and Afghanistan.In the early stages of the U.S.-Iran war, an Iranian submarine was sunk, and it just have happened after a joint military exercise with India had ended.
The reason Iran-India trade is currently low is that India, fearing sanctions, abandoned Iran.

That only means that the US troops in these bases are assigned to transfer of technology..support and overhaul of weapons purchased from the US..They are not combat units!

Was mentioned a while back that this would happen.

What are you talking about mister ? The main US naval base in the Gulf is in Qatar, the main US air force base is Prince Sultan in Saudi Arabia. The entire Gulf War 1 and 2 air operations were led from Prince Sultan airbase in Saudi Arabia. The radars and anti-missile batteries are used to protect US and Israel, the fighter aircraft, refuelers, AWACS, SAR are all used in the war effort.

HIMARS missiles are being fired from Bahrain and Kuwait at Iran and yet look at what you write !!
