US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

[PK781]

I wonder what the "threat" really was that necessitated a rapid scramble of the planes back to CONUS.

If it was the threat of Iranian missiles, then that tells me the missile threat has not been sufficiently neutralized.

does iran really have missiles that can reach UK? Even if they did, i don't think they will try lobbing at the UK, let alone US

Probably there is alternate plan so maybe those r not needed, and for safety they were sent back, maybe uk is not safe (domestic)

Refuelers were aplenty parked in mideast/israel and they did not get targetted either recently.

i think they really want a deal from trump right now, theyre squeezed economically and these new sanctions are hurting them alot

Something like this was the concern apparently : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Spiderweb

Let's look at the facts...

What does it suggest to you that Iran has repaired and reinforced the entrances to its underground missile bases?

What is the significance of the visual confirmation that at least two new underground missile bases have been built during these months of war?

What are the implications of the fact that, since the end of hostilities, there has been visual confirmation of only two flights over Iranian airspace—one being the famous Israeli R06 (a stealth UAV) near Tehran, and a single Super Hornet over Chabahar (a port city)?

What are the consequences of Iran replacing all its radar-guided anti-aircraft systems with passive infrared systems—such as the AD08, Azarakash, or Qaem118?

What is glaringly obvious from outside the United States is that Donald J. Trump didn't stage a coup; you elected him yourselves, and you are heading for disaster. But hey, don't let that spoil the party. They're unarmed—go right in!
