@BrettErickson28 lol... what did they think was gonna happen by trying to sneek 5mbd through the hormuz?
now iran can open the hormuz partially, establish collecting fees and still hurt the western economy.
or they can escalate further and close the red sea/bob el mendeb completely.
@Haqiqatjou taliban is a pashtun nationalist movement. they didnt fight for gaza like the Houthis.
Taliban cares mainly about afghanistan and that's it. no matter what religion the pashtun culture always fights for their national land and occupiers.
BREAKING: First ground-level image of the massive 100 km black smoke column rising from Saudi Arabia's East-West crude pipeline, captured ~6h ago, after Yemen's Houthis struck the pipeline on multiple points, the same plume seen on Sentinel-3 satellite imagery.
@Haqiqatjou not really... once you announce a bomb then any missile you launch can be considered nuclear and israel would need to pre empt that in kind.
By remaining a threshold state (can build one in weeks) they can launch attacks and cleanse the ME. nuclear = stalemate like north korea.
@policytensor those months "dilly dallying" was depleting the reserves.
a missile at current spr levels is way more powerful than a missile at previous months spr level.
sharpen your pencil
