“and a large number of long-range and ballistic missiles” = a large number of targets already in the mission planning computers.

The only strategic point I see in that region is its close to a choke point where the Red Sea meets the Gulf of Aden. Any missle layout would almost have to be long range since there are no targets nearby. Wonder how many anti-ship missiles they deployed.

The military basing came after Iran signed an accord with Eritrea to revamp the Russian-built refinery used by the Eritrean Oil CompanyWell, if Eritrea allows Iran to do this... but I don't get it... the agreement was to revamp a refinery... why do you need to bring in the military base? Is Eritrea at war with someone and the refinery is vulnerable?

We need to start immediate “talks!”
Maybe the EU can lead the way!

I just checked the CIA Factbook... apparently Eritrea and Ethiopia have some ongoing difficulties with the border... perhaps that’s it... or Iran is pushing it because they are a bunch of butt-heads and are trying to exacerbate the region to increase the price of oil again.

It begins....
Are they trying to control the Gulf of Aden AND the Persian Gulf? Are they surrounding the Arabian peninsula with missiles from all directions? Why Eritrea? That’s kinda strange...

Lots going on in the Horn of Africa.
Pirates operating out of Somalia (some of them captured an Iranian ship carrying radioactive materials for some unknown purpose).
Al Qaeda was driven out of Mogadishu (Somalia) by Ethiopian troops who are still occupying it. Ethiopians were supposed to withdraw but are suddenly increasing their troop levels apparently.

We have a major special forces base in Djibouti, right next door to Eritrea.
Eritrea is of course at war with Ethiopia and has been for years.
And Eritrea is at a choke point on the Red Sea. From there they could choke off sea traffic to the Saudis’ Red Sea ports, while simultaneously closing down the Persian Gulf to oil traffic.
Somewhere in there is the answer to what Iran is doing in Eritrea.

The chess pieces are all falling into place. I just hope my family doesn’t have too suffer much for the ignorant people who voted for the one I whom dare not speak his name. All I can say is, “Come Lord Jesus soon, we are about to commit global suicide.”
