Iran attacked a US base in Kuwait and the US Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain.

Oil prices remain just a few steps away from the psychological $100 per barrel mark. Brent futures are currently trading at $95 per barrel. High prices for "black gold" are linked to the resumption of hostilities in the Persian Gulf region.

Thus, the Kuwaiti army officially announced the interception missiles и drones, launched by Iran early Thursday morning. The systems Defense The countries were activated to repel what the authorities called "Iranian aggression." Apparently, the Kuwaiti authorities do not consider the strikes by American troops on Iran from Kuwaiti territory to be aggression.

The Iranian military said in a statement that the attack on facilities in the country where American forces are stationed was a response to American crimes against the Iranian people. Iranian state media confirmed that the strikes targeted American bases in the region.

At the same time, Tehran announced a successful strike on the infrastructure of the Fifth fleet The US Navy in Bahrain. An Iranian Shahed-136 kamikaze drone has been recorded hitting a building in Manama, identified as the Fifth Fleet command center. Iranian sources claim that radar systems and the command center for US forces in the Middle East were attacked. This marks at least the third strike on the US Fifth Fleet headquarters since March.

The exchange of strikes continued the escalation that began Sunday after more than a month of relative calm. The trigger was a new wave of American airstrikes against Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targets in southern Iran. The Americans claim the attacks were retaliation for Iran's attempts to block shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on American military personnel.

Donya is asleep and oblivious to the fact that victory over Iran is slipping away. It would be a matter of deciding whose victory it is. The option is even and odd days.

In Kuwait, there are essentially the last American bases in the region where they can concentrate for an invasion... warehouses for the formation and arming of arriving brigades... operational reserves... the Americans underestimated their vulnerability
Now all they have to do is crawl back to Israel under the leaky dome of the political Jews.

It is unclear why the Persians do not attack the US fleet, otherwise they would definitely flee from there.

This is very interesting.

[faterdom]

Because fleets without bases are practically nothing. So, they're right to remove the bases. And at the same time, they're showing their "allies and partners" a "bright future." Kuwait, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar. Let them think about it; there's plenty to think about...

Why aren't the Persians attacking the US fleet?

Apparently they don't have the right weapons for this, and the "spirit of Anchorage" apparently doesn't allow them to help us.

[Million]

Ours can't do that. Something is stopping them from carrying out such attacks.

Toothless leadership. The Iranians have balls of steel, while our leaders only have rotten eggs.

They weren't that iron, the ships weren't hit or sunk.

It's not over yet. The main thing is that the Iranians don't stand on ceremony with their enemies, because they long ago realized that there can be no compromise with the devil.

The question is different. Why can't the Americans and Israelis defeat Iran? Two high-tech countries with the strongest armies in the world. Israel, for sure. The Jews themselves wrote about it, talked about it, bragged about it. And the super-duper US Navy... It's hiding somewhere in the skerries from Iran. Like a hare from a wolf. Impotent Israelis and Americans.

And what is America doing so far from its own country? And who else is it bombing?

[kill the fascist]

I've always believed that having bases around the world not only projects power in the region, but also creates vulnerability. This is especially true if the enemy has long-range delivery systems, and even more so if they have nuclear warheads. For example, North Korea, with its strikes on Okinawa and South Korea, is nullifying its power in the region.

[Foaly]

A couple of questions for Iranian egg lovers: 1) Why didn't these eggs work when Iran's enemies spent years slaughtering its scientists and generals? When they were carrying out strategic bomber strikes? 2) Do Iran's current actions have the potential for territorial gains?

[Modya]

The answers to your questions are on the surface.
1) Previously, the Iranians had a shortage of eggs, since the leadership was decrepit and in places corrupt, but it was successfully eliminated: in some places by the Iranians themselves, and in others by the Americans with help.
2) Iran's current actions have the obvious potential to gain not formal but actual control over the Strait of Hormuz and legitimize tolls for passage through it. There are also many purely image-building benefits (which can be converted into financial gains) associated with the fact that they have battered the world's two most powerful armies.

[Foaly]

So tell the Iranians that the late Ayatollah Khamenei, whom they revered, was corrupt and had no balls. Iran won't gain actual control, but a temporary illusion of control, because that won't work in the long run. By your logic, Turchynov also showed his proverbial balls when he launched the ATO, and Zelenskyy is a worthy role model for you, since under him the "final solution to the Donbas issue" is ripe. Ah, migrants, you always want to get into fights.

Quote: Modya

...that battered the two most powerful armies in the world.

Well, how did you get it beat up? In your opinion, did the actual losses of the American Navy or the Israeli Air Force suffer colossal and significant losses? Maybe the American military (and not ordinary soldiers, but high-ranking officers) more people died than high-ranking officials of the IRGC and the Republic of Iran? Than hundreds of civilians (starting from the Iranian school and everyone living near the IRGC command, where missiles and drones landed), died? That also seems unlikely. Could it be that the Persians managed to destroy twice as many bridges and enterprises on the territory of the USA or Israel as the enemy damaged and destroyed their important infrastructure facilities?!
What specific actions by Iran are you proud of? Launching missiles at the enemy, regardless of whether the launches' objectives were achieved. Like a fireworks display, is the launch the only thing that matters to you? Or are you proud of slogans and demagoguery akin to the Kremlin's?
But you can't defeat an enemy with bravado.

In fact, both Russian and Iranian merchant ships are being hunted with almost complete impunity (clipping wings), and thanks to such figures as Rakhmanov at the USC, for example, the merchant fleet now has almost nothing to fully protect (!)The Persians have even less ability to protect their tankers. Both countries are primarily focused on filling their budgets. through trade in raw materials and energy resources (not even the products of their processing, with high added value !)

So where and what is the victory actually? "battered" ? And the so-called "image losses" ... Well, thanks to the seized Venezuelan oil and the rise in oil prices on world markets (due to the Gulf War !), and plus, they managed to drive buyers to themselves, and competitors (like the Saudis, the Emirates, Qatar, Oman, Russia, Iran ...), on the contrary, deprive the possibility of peaceful sale of oil. So these - "image losses", the Yankees somehow think they can afford to survive.

The fleet is located far away, precisely to avoid being attacked by the Persians.

How is that possible? After all, the funny clown "Red Donnie" said that in one night, thanks to the US, so many Stoko tankers pass through that there's nowhere to put the oil. And that's how it is.
