Live Conflict Israel-US vs Iran War (2026)

[4MikeEcho]

One thing this President is not capable of predictibility. The GCC arabs promised to invest several $Trillion in the US, and whole set of projects on top of it with his family to accrue benefits . In all respects, i thought this was inducement that Trump and family will capitalize on and not cause any further violence. That plan really fell apart, even to Trump's own detriment for his sons to line up their pockets.

That unpredictibility also applies here to Isreal not knowing how Trump will act. While they pulled him into the conflict, given after all this expenditure of munitions, Pentagon now says only 50% of launchers destroyed, then Trump can go any direction. Its probably an usual place for Israel to be to not count on US next set of actions. Its an unfamiliar area for them

A few pondering points. There is no article or even theories I have surfaced, so I ask here to see what people's ideas are.

There were at least 150+ USAF fighter bombers that need regional air bases. They could not all be operating from Mawaffiq Saiti in Jordan. There must be some dispersion to these to other GCC countries.

1. Were the GCC countries lying when they said they would not allow overflights by US attack aircraft?
2. Was this the reason that each country was being targeted. Not only was there airspace not being used, but also some of their installations. At least in initial stages before the Iranian response
3. Saudi Arabia obviously lied as it had tankers and AWACS: if thats the case, why didn't Iran make it known that these bases were being used?
4. There is NO WAY that GCC was telling the truth in the first few days of the war that it would not allow its airspace. Not using its airspace would mean that attacking aircraft would have a very narrow corridor to come from, making their entry into Iran known across a few locations.
Even aircraft flying from the Abraham Lincoln would have to enter GCC airspace to maintian a level of surprise over Iran (and unpredictable trajectory) for their ingress and egress
5. Why did Iran not make a bigger PR awareness out of it?
6. And given that Iran's attacks penetrated every major installation in GCC countries, then why did they not attack Israeli air bases? Those Israeli air bases would not have more protection than what a THAAD woudl provide .

The only Iran claim of attacking Israeli air installations is from the Oct 24 war I think

 

[4MikeEcho]

Yes,and its dirt poor relying on handouts from the rich GCC countries,US,UK,EU.
GCC without oil and gas revenues= Jordan.

I agree but that does not answer why it has not been the subject of sustained attacks by Iran. It would seem at least as important for Iran to attack that as it was to go after Prince Sultan.

Q1: Yes, In fact, the GCC Airzone is belong to US/Isreal(Under CENTCOM control).
Q2: Yes.
Q3: I think the US military base in GCC is not controled by those GCC none care what they say, including Iran.
Q5: The global media is not owned by Iran, there is such Iran PR in Chinese media, but of course it is impossible to find it in english media.
Q6: Iran is keeping attack Israeli air bases and there were huge damaged, that also the reason US banned satellite photo company for their middle east photo sell.

The mainstream media and news are still under western control, and as long as people do not vary the source of their information they'll still be painted by the opinion (Selective news) of the governments of the country they are located in.

The only way to try to counter this is by truly having independent and true journalism. Unbiased. But we see what happens to that kind of journalists in Gaza.

Really sad, but True journalists are what our world lacks, and they are our unsung Heroes.

'NATO not obliged to reopen the Strait,' Turkey's trade minister says

US President Trump has issued an ultimatum to NATO countries to find a solution to reopening the Strait of Hormuz within days. Turkey – which has the second-largest army in NATO – says the alliance is not obliged to intervene. #EuropeToday

www.euronews.com

Why, of why does this minister of trade open his mouth about this. He should keep it shut and deflect to trade talks.

Let the elephant in the room be, and let some other country remind Trump of what the f.... NATO is about.
