re: Official US/Israel vs Iran war thread

Unfortunately the ability to end this thing with us getting everything we wanted ended long ago. We clearly underestimated not only Iran's military capabilities when it comes to drones, missiles, etc., but also the resolve of the Iranian regime to take any type of punishment we throw at them. Iran is going to get something favorable out of this. The biggest thing now is to try and make sure it's something that is the least beneficial to them and the least damaging for us.

None of them are going to lift a finger to defend each other from Iran or it's proxies as the Houthis are still attacking SA daily and neither Turkey or Pakistan have done anything to help.
As I've said before, despite factional differences, muslim nation states are not going to attack other muslim nation states proper, unless they absolutely have too. Sure, will they allow some petty BS to occur? Yep. All out war though? Nope.
SA finally launched some cheap arse Chinese drones they purchased into Iran last night but they crashed before reaching their targets in Sirik. If Turkey or Pakistan are attacked anytime soon by someone, I doubt the KSA is going to come to their rescue.

Instead of a large scale attack on deminishing Iran targets, just drop a couple bunker buster bombs on the nuclear storage sites in Iran and send the message "we are watching" for the next 30 years.

Iran's rope a dope gets ignored
100% agree.

That must have been a boring meeting for 7-8 hours, talking to a cardboard cutout.

None!!
I even expect Pakistan will support Iran instead. Turkey could go either way.

Whomever promises to kill the most Kurds as possible will be who Turkey supports. Erdogan would like nothing more than to eliminate the entirety of them if he were able to do so. Regardless of which faction they are and who they are aligned with.

POTUS:
"I see that Representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran are asking for compensation for the damage done to them during the last five month Military Conflict (started because, THEY WILL NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON), even though it was never mentioned in any of our negotiations or meetings! But it is an interesting idea because now I am likewise demanding compensation from Iran, for all of the people that they have killed and gravely wounded with their roadside bombs and many conflicts, for which they are famous, as led initially by General Soleimani, including the families of those killed on the USS Cole, and thousands of others killed in combat. Additionally, compensation should be paid to the families of the hundreds of thousands of innocent protestors that Iran has killed over the last 50 years, not to mention the 52,000 that have been killed in the last five months. I have instructed my representatives to put this firmly into any, and all, future negotiations. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

The number of missiles hasn't grown. This is ballistic range. I also think a bit of context is lost. Iran said before this started its missiles had a certain range. We found out they lied when they lobbed one at Diego Garcia. That missile launch proved their range could reach Europe.

That was the past, I'm talking about the modern muslim nation states.
They have put in far too much work infiltrating the west, spreading their propaganda, overrunning local populations with mass migration and paying politicians all over the world to look the other way. Modern muslim nations are not going to go to full scale war with each other any longer. They have too much at stake and have invested far too many resources in spreading their religious virus across the globe.
They are all tied together thru many of the same islamic power brokers such as Qatar, Turkey, KSA etc.. They are all striving to push the caliphate worldwide, and the western world for the most part is too dumb, naive or criminally corrupt and greedy to see it.
Despite Iran targeting not just US Base infrastructure in their nations, but also civilian infrastructure, none these nations have taken aggressive counter action against Iran that would do anything to end the conflict. These same "victims" of Iran even sent delegations to fawn and praise their fallen Ayatollah despite all that has transpired.
Iran for the most part knew better than to start all out war with the Gulf Coast nations. They kept their scope of attacks relatively small and focused most of their energy on US bases, which the mohammedans are more than happy to see get hit.
You will see the Sunni nations ally with the Shiite state to attack someone else long before you ever see an arab coalition formed to take Iran head on. It's just never going to happen unless some zealot of the IRGC manages to nuke one of their neighbors somehow.

Well, I believe, all the gulf states and major muslim nations have a backroom agreement with Iran. If something happened and the USA had a major natural disaster, or a sunken air craft carrier they would all join forces with Iran without hesitation.
