Iran acts like Democrats in trying to punish anyone who supports America.

Looks like a war between Sunni and Shi-ite.

Now watch the Omanis, Qataris and Saudis send in their own attacks on Iran. They will do it after all the real dangerous fighting has wound down.

I spent some time working in Bahrain in between the first and second Gulf wars.

Over 20 years ago I spent a few days on their frigate BRNS Sabah to prepare them for a missile shoot. I brought a team of Gunners Mates and Fire Controlmen, including a couple that had experience with the ship's old weapon system. I gotta say, that was among the least impressive naval combatant ships I've ever been on. With our extensive help, my guys were able to troubleshoot, repair and configure their system, then assist with the missile shot to successfully down the target. Without us, no way it would have happened. I hope they have improved since then.
