Also Iran striking the Gulf has been the biggest self-own, considering that the Gulf was previously moving against allowing the US to strike Iran from their bases.

I think they were hoping that this would dissuade the Gulf, but like Hitler's blitz, this basically informs the Gulf that they will never be safe until the Iranian regime is gone. This might actually point to a degradation of decision-making skills within the central circles of Iranian government after the Iranian-Israeli wars back in 2025, and maybe starting even as early as Trump's assassination of Soleimani.

What the fuck did Kuwait do? Seriously why attack Kuwait? They're like Oman, one of the few middle east countries that seems to just mind their own business and not be insane. Also they have that based anti-begging law.

Al-Joe Bobhadi 30th brevet lieutenant. Formerly 200th in command and now newly promoted leader of the 7th Iranian Missile Command decided to flex by wildly firing on neutral Muslim states.

Yeah its a pretty obvious dumb move but right now you have Hasan Pikers and Redditors and Iran Forum Defense brigades willing to go on record making fools of themselves being impressed by this masterful strategy.
 
Oldfags might remember that during Desert Storm, Saddam launched missiles at Israel, which was not part of the coalition and was neutral. Saddam's thinking was that by provoking Israeli retaliation, the Saudis would be so disgusted at fighting on the same side as Israel that they'd pull out of the war, forcing the Americans to mount a dangerous amphibious invasion of Kuwait rather than just rolling their tanks across the Saudi border.

It didn't work, Israel stayed neutral and the Saudis stayed in the war.

Now Iran is attacking the Gulf states in the hope that they'll be so appalled at being on Israel's side that they'll kick the Americans out of their territory. Why do the Iranians suddenly think that this will happen again when it didn't last time? Not only is it basically the same strategy, it has the added problem that the Sunni Gulf states and Saudi Arabia hate and have always hated Iran for being a Shia theocracy? Yes, Jews are the enemy and all that, but those Shia are heretics.

Serious question: American boots on the ground when? This missile shit is boring, I want to see a classic-style war.

Probably never outside of maybe some special forces guys to secure nuclear facilities. We're not doing ground wars anymore, because we legitimately don't care if the country on the other side is the correct flavor of late 20th century liberal democracy (this was our fatal mistake in Iraq). All we want to do is remove our enemies' capacity to fuck with us.
 
Reports of nine (as of now) dead... In pakistan. They apparently tried to storm the US embassy there.
KARACHI, Pakistan — At least nine people were killed and about two dozen were wounded in violent clashes with police and paramilitary forces Sunday after hundreds of protesters stormed the U.S. Consulate in the Pakistani port city of Karachi, authorities said.

The violence came hours after the United States and Israel attacked Iran and killed the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Police and officials at a hospital in Karachi said at least 25 people were also wounded in the clashes and some of them were in critical condition.

Summaiya Syed Tariq, a police surgeon at the city’s main government hospital, confirmed that initially six bodies and multiple injured people were brought to the facility. However, she said the death toll rose to nine after three critically wounded died.



The U.S. Embassy in Pakistan wrote on X that it was monitoring reports of ongoing demonstrations at the U.S. Consulates General in Karachi and Lahore, as well as calls for additional protests at the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad and the Consulate General in Peshawar. It advised U.S. citizens in Pakistan to monitor local news, stay aware of their surroundings, avoid large crowds and keep their travel registration with the U.S. government up to date.

THE RED FLAG OF REVENGE HAS BEEN RAISED.
Iran raises the red flag over the Jamkaran Mosque in Qom as a Shia symbol of revenge for Khamenei's death in yesterday's US-Israeli strikes on the Muslim leader.

I was genuinely impressed by Trump's balls-to-the-wall speed. No endless dithering, no half-assed Obama drone circus that just radicalizes every civilian and breeds the next wave of head-choppers. Straight to the point: hit hard, hit fast, and actually take out the top guy instead of pretending precision strikes on empty bunkers count as strategy. Just makes me wonder if other countries like Russia use this as excuse to strike direcly against Zelensky.

Russia has tried to assassinate Zelenskyi multiple times during this war. It's not about whether they want or don't want to do it, they simply can't.

You know what? I'd happily side with jeets if it meant deleting Pakistan off the map.

Remember Pakis are also a big reason the US never pacified Afghanistan. Aside from covertly funding the Taliban, Pakis pressured the US into forcing Afghanistan's provisional assembly to declare a weak republic because they didn't like the old King.

From currently confirmed reports, some are in mourning and some celebrating. I don't think anyone really knows how many were/are pro-regime and how many against it, but it is to be expected that those that have been against the regime and tortured by it will do some type of cleansing, so to speak, should the regime fall. I don't think that necessarily means a civil war, but I doubt it's going to be bloodless either. Obviously the pro-regime people will do the same, should the regime survive somehow.

The regime is setup to survive stuff like this, however, there is a limit to how much it can take.

Losing 1-2 high up guys every 1-3 heard, no problem.

Losing 10-15.... Harder

Losing dozens of high up guys every 12-25 months.... Suddenly you're losing irreplaceable institutional knowledge and experience that hasn't been passed on or even learned when you get down past the 3rd and maybe 4th in line.

The IRGC is probably on 5th-7th in line at this point in the upper ranks.

Also, the Iranain economy is in DEEP shit. Inflation is probably close to hyperinflation, oil revenues are down, the water crisis is getting worse, unemployed is high and the billions they spent in Syria is totally wasted while the billions spent on Hamas, Hezzbullah and the Houthis didn't really pay off.

The regime probably has never been weaker than today.

Let's see if the protestors can coalesce around something concrete or if the Artesh and dissident IRGC can pull off a military coup.

This is a measure of the regime's immediate volatility, rather than immediate ability to survive. The IRGC can just take over, try to bomb everyone and everything around Iran, and go up in flames with the entire country. It will mean the end of the regime, but it's hardly a "good ending" (save for "all brown people bad" reasoning)

Ayatollah is fucked into hell, may he be raped by 72 demons forever and ever. No, I hate Israel, but I just love when brown people get put in their place.
