Uprightness100:
The Houthis in Yemen have officially entered the war, launching a missile toward southern Israel that was swiftly intercepted.

They’ve made the same mistake Hezbollah did.

Our operational plans to strike Yemen have been ready since day one of this war. Frankly, we’re surprised it took them this long to make that mistake. Now, they will have to pay the price.
It’s not a mistake, it’s being bold enough to confront your fears, terro, injustice at the cost of your own life

Saudi Arabia just made a joke of Iran's blocking of the Strait of Hormuz.

After Iran announced blocking of the Strait, Saudi Arabia quickly switched to their East-West oil pipeline.

And today the transportation of crude through that route has reached maximum capacity as Saudi are now shipping over 7 million barrels per day through the East-West pipeline.

This Saudi giving the middle finger to Iran. 😂

Don't cry, they have 16 of those.
Still remains 15. And if you don't know, the AWACS was already planned for retirement with its replacement coming up in 2028, that's in about two years time.
Can you destroy 15 in two years?

Israeli media:

"In Israel, the decision by the Jordanians not to allow the operation of flights that were previously closed was received with surprise.

At this moment, talks are taking place between professional and security officials on the Israeli side together with the Jordanian side in an attempt to find an immediate solution."

Have you ever heard the word "plan B" before?
Do you keep plan B because it isn't good? You keep it in case plan A breaks down.

🤣 me, Putin supporter 😅🤣
I can't count how many times I've insulted that guy in here. Although, I think I insulted trump and biden more.
"Writing on the wall" 😂

Russia is going to win its war.
Iran is going to win its war.
None of that is going to change my life.

Stop trying to put words in my mouth. I am objective and I don't support people just because they are going to win. I support myself only. Putin wants people like me dead because he hates "multiculturalism" in Europe. That is why I hate him back.

I'm not like you guys whom are ready to throw your lives away for foreign leaders who would not spit on your dirty face even if it would save your miserable life.
Scorpio99:
You are giving people advice after seeing the writing on the wall. Same you that has been gobbling up Putin's faeces for years. Same you that went down the valley of perdition with your fellow pro Russians posting my pic up and down Nairaland.
Thanks, we, pro West have always known what we are doing. The advice is needed better in your camp.

Na the tin wey dey vex me be this. Why are they issuing evacuation notice? Did their opponents issue evac notice when they bombed girl's school or university. Mitcheww
i share your frustration
but there are very good reasons for issuing evac notices

iran has been asking gulf residents for help identifying hiding spots of epstein troops
they want to establish a new security architecture and would prefer gulf citizen buy-in

also, a lot of these facilities are heavily staffed by foreigners

the industries for instance are majority foreigners
same as in the hospitals and in many sectors
if there are casualties, you'd be maiming/killing nepalis, pakistanis, indians, filipinos, nigerians, egyptians...
not gulf citizens proper

⚡️A former officer in the Israeli Air Force told Haaretz:

"We learned from the war that technological superiority is not enough, but cheap weapons are also crucial."
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Ghostagain: 10:53am On Mar 29
Quite frankly, if any side offered me a million dollars and the government of France authorized me to help that side and I wasn't required to do or help any genocide, then I would help that side.

All I need is the authorisation of France to do so and the big bag of money and also moral clarity.

Raynald:
This plane is rare
This a big win to iran
Comgrats to them
This was really reckless
Atleast pack this in Israel not there
the difference between parking this in saudi and isn'treal
is that in the dot on a map, the images of it being destroyed will not come out
the news itself will not be published

iran has been hitting air platforms in the dot on a map
the only news they released was that iranian strikes damaged three private jets in ben gurion

the only safe place for these air platforms is europe/turkey
but with the damage of most of the stationary radars
they need to fly these a lot closer to iran and keep them in the air longer
it is inexcusable though that they landed it in saudi

the e-3 can be refueled so they could have moved it to syrian airspace
refueled then make it back to greece or turkey

⚡The U.S. Defense Department is looking for companies that can quickly supply prefabricated, transportable bunkers to protect troops amid the ongoing conflict with Iran.

A federal notice asks vendors to outline delivery timelines of 3, 15, and 30 days, along with details on how much blast, fragmentation, or ballistic impact their shelters can withstand.

Alamkiir:
Can someone explain to me why Jordan is not collecting from iran
LordAdam16 Appleyard
Jordan has indeed collect but not like the rest of the Gulf states.

I think, to an extent, Jordan has very little to offer as viable economic and military targets for Iran.


Militarily, before the war, Jordan hosted about 60 US attack aircrafts. But, after Iran struck the base in a quick counterattack that took the enemy by surprise, they flew majority of those planes out of there.

Notwithstanding, Iran has struck the kingdom on several occasions.

For example, in the first week of the war, Iran hit a US THAAD radar system at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Azraq. That radar cost about half a billion dollars, and the US confirmed the loss. Iran has since fired more than 200 missiles over Jordan, with Jordan claiming intercepts of the majority of those missiles.

Moreover, Jordan hasn't really allowed its airspace to be used as a direct launchpad against Iran, which could also explain the limited and frequent scale of attacks from Iran.

Economically, Jordan is an aid-dependent country, unlike the rest of the Gulf states that are resource rich and highly business centric. The economic fallout from the Iranian attacks on the rest Gulf states is already causing serious economic losses for Jordan, especially on the tourism sector where hundred percent cancellations of bookings and visits have been recorded so far. Why waste missiles on that front?

Lastly, Iranian missiles en route to Israel are getting through whatever defenses Jordan has put up. Hence, it makes sense that Iran is not focusing much on Jordan. American radars and ADs positioned there were meant to defend Israel, but since the missiles are still finding their way to their targets in Israel, its safe to concluded they've either become useless or has been taken out in the first and second weeks of attacks. So, it serve no strategic purpose to waste missiles on Jordan like the way the other states are collecting.

⚡Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf:

The enemy openly sends messages of negotiation and dialogue, while covertly planning a ground invasion.

Unaware that our men are waiting for American troops to enter on the ground so they can set them ablaze and punish their regional partners forever.

Our strikes continue. Our missiles remain ready. Our determination and faith have grown stronger.

We are aware of the enemy’s weaknesses and clearly see signs of fear and terror within their ranks.

the persians are waiting for the ground invasion

everyone expects that to be the crescendo of this war
the iranian strike on their amphibious assets in kuwait has led them to rework their plans
they are now talking about a two month ground operation on the majority of iran's coastline

iran welcomes it
because that is the only way to exact casualties that they would be unable to hide
it would also mean cementing control over the strait of hormuz and definitively winning the economic section of this war
