Why?
Iran retaliated against President Trumps sanctions buy attacking a target of oppotunity within the territory of the American ally Saudi Arabia.
Iran is withering on the vine and had to lash out and in effect starting a kinetic war
There must be no proportional rsponse. There must be wholesale Iranian destruction
I think it is high time for Saudi Princes in expensive F-XX fighter jets to put THEIR butts on the line in defense of their own country.
“There must be wholesale Iranian destruction”
Absent total commitment by Western and gulf forces to the complete destruction of Iran, we’d be crazy to do anything.
Iran has the ability, absent STRONG US commitment, to shut down the entire Gulf’s oil production, and everyone knows it.
And that’s the bet Iran is placing on the table.
