Trumps attack on Iran - 2026 edition

[blup]

One of the biggest surprises of the war is why Iran turned it's firepower on neighbouring Arab countries, some of which could have loosely been described as allies at various times.
The result is that the whole of the middle east has turned against Iran and that may well translate into more countries determined to see the end of the IRGC.

No surprise, completely predictable

Why I said Trump should back off and leave the Arabs to finish this war. They do not want their economys disrupted through Iran firing missiles all over the middle east and disrupting their trade. Oil is valuable and as far as there isnt an infinate amount of it left, blowing up the oil fields all over the middle east is only going to harm us.

Others have now come up with a belter for his current cloosterfoog:

"The Persian Goof"

It's the Persian Gulf to some, the Gulf of Arabia to others, Saudi and several other countries. It's a bit like the French calling the English Channel La Manche, cheeky scoundrels.

Plenty on the right foresaw it, but must importantly it was a scenario that American defence experts foresaw.

What’s surprising is that the Arab countries aren’t forming an alliance against Trumpf’s war, although their reaction to the gas fields bombing suggests even Dumpf thinks things have gone to far.

If anything I think it will be the other way around. Countries like Saudi will be delighted to see the back of Iran, not sure which others, as I said none of them were expecting to be attacked in the way they have and as we know, there's nothing more dangerous than an angry Arab.
