If Iran weren't a threat to those bases, the Americans wouldn't move away.

The Americans threw all they had at the Iranians, I guess the last card left to be played is a ground invasion and I'm very the Americans are completely averse to such operation unless they eventually grows the balls, but then a terrible disastrous humiliation will loom ahead for the Americans.

US is just showing restraint.

If US retaliate with the same 8000 ballistic missiles...

And Isreal also fired 8000 ballistic missiles... thats 16000

I simply wonder what/who will remain in Iran by now....


Firstly, both countries don't have up to 8000 ballistic missiles combined.

There's a reason both like using dumb bombs with guidance kits. They're cheaper and faster to build than ballistic missiles.

To be honest the bases have become liabilities for US forces because US doesn't really need it to attack Iran they can just attack Iran from the Sea through their super carriers and Navy, the latest drones warfare have make defending land bases very difficult.

I laugh at the idiots mocking the US they think this is US defeat but it is just taking out one of the leverages Iran can use to blackmail the US in a war, when US move out their bases away from Gulf states Iran won't have reason to target Gulf countries again in case of a war and US moving their bases away from Gulf states wouldn't stop them from striking whenever they still want to. I bet Iran is not smiling about it like many dunce here because Iran would have to find a way to strike US mainland if they want to retaliate against US in the future if they no longer have those US bases to strike.

Two things Iran can use as leverages to blackmail the US are strait of Hormuz and US bases in Gulf states, Strait of Hormuz is getting another route that Oman control and US is moving their bases away. Iran wouldn't even be happy about it like many dunce here because the implications is very bad for them, they will lack the capability to target the US asymmetrically.

Iran will have to find a way to fight US navy at sea which is almost suicidal or develop missiles to strike US mainland directly which Iran won't even be happy to try or dare to even if they have the capability because it mean forcing the US to put ground invasion on the table.
The most sensible post I've read so far on the topic.

Children of destruction and Islamist terrorists only reason with their heads hitting the ground - and can't see and think far.

How are the bases a liability? You don't understand what America's Forward Defense Strategy and Forward Basing means to America. If it is possible America will secure a base at your home backyard just to achieve this cause it is very important.

And you saying America had other options from the sea to attack which renders those bases useless. Can strategic bombers like B-52, B-2, refuelling tankers fly from a carrier?Iran was carpet bombed with this bombers. Even before the war all the gulf states kept assuring Iran that US bases on their soil won't be used to attack Iran.. US had to fly strategic bombers all the way from bases in the UK and RAF Akrotiri base in Cyprus

If those bases were liability that means US bases in the Pacific and others around the world are liabilities.

Nobody said Iran didn't take hit. US and Israel bombed hundreds of targets in Iran. But for a country under crippling sanctions to have built its own hardware and hit targets across Israel and to the point of sending US packing up its bases in the gulf is extraordinary. A country bombed by ttwo powerful forces and it is still standing that's resilience. Don't forget US was the one to seek ceasefire.
Re: CENTCOM To Relocate US Bases From Gulf States After Painful Iranian Strikes by Demonic01(m): 8:57pm On Jul 02
You are just a delusional folk. If the Americans had the capacities they would have their marines matching down the streets of Tehran where they would conquer the entire iran the way they did with Venezuela, but then, they couldn't topple Iran.

The only thing left for America to throw is Nukes which of course, i believe you're not stvv pidd enough to believe they would.

Americans are still yet to do shit after trump's delusional post on iran where he ranted he was going to strike Iran very hard.

I am still waiting for that attack. ‼️🤡

Unless you have a slow thought process, tell me why USA is even negotiating with a country without a military according to trump. ⁉️

I'm talking about bases closer to Iran that Iran can easily attack with missiles and drones and that's why US moving all those bases to Israel is very important.

Iran will have to face Israel and the US directly in the future.

Between Israel and Iran, who's more likely to run out of places to bomb?

Israel is like the size of Tehran, one city in Iran. It won't take Iran up to a year to level every single building in Israel.

The last Iranian strikes destroyed 30,000 buildings in Israel. Look it up.

If they go band for band, Israel will turn to a parking lot faster than Tehran, how much more Iran.

This clown doesn't even know that Isreal is not even happy with deal they had with Iran.
You think if US had wanted to unleash all it has on Iran, Iran would survive it?

The war is a needless war for US, US just want to capitalise on it and negotiate a deal that will favour them.
Use your Brian mister and stop being deluded, Trump is all about making money.
