TheAltWorld Why does America launch missiles at Iran from Arab capitals, not aircraft carriers, ships, or “Israel”?
What are the threats to these nations’ governments? Trump’s imminent offensive threat—what can we expect?
President Donald Trump threatened to “bomb Iran heavily” on Thursday night (in a few hours) and seize Iran’s major oil industry on Khark Island, its most important base and wells, repeating the Venezuela attack.
These threats indicate the collapse of the ceasefire deal, a return to the previous situation, and the start of Israeli-American aggression almost a hundred days ago. This marks the end of the “deception” phenomenon, which has been dominated by conversations with Pakistani mediators and General Asim Munir, the army chief, who is considered America’s man in Asia.
At dawn yesterday, the initial American bombing targeted Iranian air defence stations, military bases, and communication infrastructure. Iran quickly attacked American bases in Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain and closed the Strait of Hormuz. Jordan acquired 20 missiles; Kuwait, 24 drones; and Bahrain, large bombers that have since vanished.
The new Iranian leadership vows to sink America into a long-term regional war of attrition on several fronts, closely seal the Strait of Hormuz, and construct a security belt from the Gulf to the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb. Now it’s acting on its threats.
Despite all opinions agreeing on his stupidity and ignorance of political and military matters, with his expertise limited to real estate broking (and even failing at that, declaring bankruptcy more than 12 times), Trump did not realise that he had fallen into a deep pit and continued to dig. All his military and verbal threats to wipe Iran off the map, open hell, and destroy all its naval, land, and air weapons have failed to achieve his fundamental goal: Iran’s surrender and complete submission to American-Israeli conditions.
Iran has suffered considerable losses due to hostility from two countries, the US, the world’s largest, and “Israel”, the strongest geographically. However, the US and Israel lost much more, including failing to overthrow the Iranian regime, eliminate Iran’s nuclear ambitions and missile arsenal, and acquire 460 kilos of highly enriched uranium.
America’s Arab allies, who are sadly the majority, have suffered substantial losses that are expected to multiply several times since most indicators indicate that the conflict will continue. American bases in these countries are a scourge, a strategic menace, and a twofold threat to their security, stability, and existence. Most American bases on foreign soil did not protect either themselves or their host countries.
The newest Iranian missile and drone attacks targeted Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain. The cause is plain and documented: these facilities served as launch sites for the US military command’s aggressive missiles against Iran. According to Iranian intelligence sources, these three countries and those that “behaved” and did not allow America to use their bases may face intelligence, military, and political strikes deep within their geographical and social fabric in the next phase. Over 75% of the residents of these countries occupy the Iranian trench that faces America and “Israel”.
Why does America launch aggressive missiles at Iran from bases in Arab countries subject to military and financial extortion (loans and aid) instead of its three aircraft carriers and more than 20 naval vessels, which host over 300 fighter jets, dozens of missile platforms, and over 50,000 soldiers?
Is the answer simple? This strategy involves entangling the host countries of these bases in a decades-long war with Iran under numerous pretexts, most notably sectarian and ethnic, effectively making them permanent American and potentially Israeli hostages.
As Imam Khamenei advisor Mohsen Rezaei remarked, bombs and missiles would not save Trump from this quagmire or subjugate Iran and force it to capitulate. Iran will endure the second blow just as it did the first. Trump’s America won’t invade Khark Island, Iran’s oil capital, and if it does, it will be costly since this is Iran, not Venezuela.
West Asia (I prefer not to use the colonial term “Middle East”) is going through a phase similar to the 1948 war. Still, Iran is well-prepared for all possibilities, relies entirely on its domestically manufactured weapons, and has missiles, drones, strong will, brilliant minds, and immense deterrent capabilities. Above all, it has strong leadership and a united population. America was defeated and ousted from Afghanistan and Iraq and, shortly, Iran.
