And I'm not buying Iran wants any smoke, there's a reason they fund all these little groups to fight and take bullets for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Houthi rebels strike a US-owned ship off the coast of Yemen in the Gulf of Aden, raising tensions Houthi rebels fired a missile, striking a U.S.-owned ship Monday just off the coast of Yemen in the Gulf of Aden, less than a day after they launched an anti-ship cruise missile toward an American destroyer in the Red Sea. The attack on the Gibraltar Eagle, later claimed by the Houthis, further escalates tensions gripping the Red Sea after American-led strikes on the rebels. The Houthis’ attacks have roiled global shipping, amid Israel’s war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, targeting a crucial corridor linking Asian and Mideast energy and cargo shipments to the Suez Canal onward to Europe. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations, which oversees Mideast waters, said Monday’s attack happened some 110 miles (177 kilometers) miles southeast of Aden. It said the ship’s captain reported that the “port side of vessel hit from above by a missile.” Private security firms Ambrey and Dryad Global told The Associated Press that the vessel was the Eagle Gibraltar, a Marshall Islands-flagged bulk carrier. The U.S. military’s Central Command later acknowledged the strike. “The ship has reported no injuries or significant damage and is continuing its journey,” Central Command said.

MrSilverMaC Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) This is interesting given the disparity in population and the fact that Pakistan is a nuclear power. AP: Iran attacks alleged militant bases in Pakistan; Islamabad says ‘unprovoked strikes’ kill 2 children. Islamabad (AP) — Iran launched attacks Tuesday in Pakistan targeting what it described as bases for the militant group Jaish al-Adl, potentially further raising tensions in a Middle East already roiled by Israel’s war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Pakistan said the strikes killed two children and wounded three others in an assault it described as an “unprovoked violation” of its airspace. Confusion followed the announcement from Iran as state media reports on it soon disappeared. However, the attack inside of nuclear-armed Pakistan by Iran threatens the relations between the two countries, which long have eyed each other with suspicion while maintaining diplomatic relations. The attack also follows Iranian strikes on Iraq and Syria less than a day earlier, as Tehran lashes out following a dual suicide bombing this month claimed by the Sunni militant group Islamic State that killed over 90 people. Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency and state television had said that missiles and drones were used in the strikes in Pakistan. Press TV, the English-language arm of Iranian state television, attributed the attack to Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard. Jaish al-Adl, or the “Army of Justice,” is a Sunni militant group founded in 2012 which largely operates across the border in Pakistan. The militants have claimed bombings and kidnapped Iranian border police in the past. Iran has fought in border areas against the militants, but a missile-and-drone attack on Pakistan is unprecedented for Iran. Iranian reports described the strikes as happening in the mountains of Pakistan’s Balochistan province. Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry issued a strongly worded rebuke of the strikes.

Bang Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 I'm sure everyone is aware we have two missing SEALS during the boarding of the boat carrying Iranian missile components. So, this I am having a hard time wrapping my head around. Not like a conspiracy theory or anything paranoid, just genuine wondering. It seems weird to me that two SEALS are missing this long. One fell in during the boarding, and another jumped in to rescue, as is protocol. Neither have been seen since. SEALS are trained for long periods in the water, it's a warm sea, although they did say it was rough water. No dye packs, no flashers.. it just strikes me weird as to what could have happened to them? I'm sure it's possible they could have drowned, maybe weighed down with equipment? But both of them.. that makes it weird to me. Yesterday we struck them again, 4 anti-ship ballistic missiles taken out on the ground. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-targets-houthi-anti-ship-missiles-new-strike-yemen-officials-2024-01-16/ ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not surprised. Around Africa, you are the dye pack. Add: I'm honestly surprised no on is asking how often things like this happen that don't make the news because no one died.

MrSilverMaC Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Reuters: Pakistan launches strikes inside Iran against militant targets Pakistan conducted strikes inside Iran on Thursday, targeting separatist militants, the Pakistani foreign ministry said, two days after Tehran said it attacked Israel-linked militant bases inside Pakistani territory. Iranian media said several missiles hit a village in the Sistan-Baluchistan province that borders Pakistan, killing three women and four children, all non-Iranians. "A number of terrorists were killed during the intelligence-based operation," the Pakistani ministry said in a statement, describing it as a "series of highly coordinated and specifically targeted precision military strikes against terrorist hideouts". It added, "Pakistan fully respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran. …. more at link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergasun Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 @mcsluggo Not sure if true or not, but I take these posts like pure propaganda posted to justify or dehumanize what Israel does to Hamas. It doesn't make her death right or justify October 7. I feel like we are at the point where we are already numb to Israel-Hamas. It does seem like the country is rallying around the hostages. But fighting continues. Bombs have slowed down --- at the early pace I thought it would be 30,000 dead at this point. United States struck the Houthis again. Looks like we took out their launchers with missiles on them. I think our "intelligence" over there is getting better. Much, much better than leaving our Navy out as targets. They still launched drones at container ships. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I would assume (from my safe position of ignorance) that they get a really great feeling, when all those expensive gizmos that they've spent years slaving over, virtually worshiping, turn out to work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CousinsCowgirl84 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) Just letting our soldiers stand around being meat targets instead of addressing Iran directly isn’t a solution. It was just luck up to this point that none of our guys were killed. Edited January 28 by CousinsCowgirl84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Two Americans dead. Only a matter of time with the wargames patty cake the Iranians have been playing. Condolences to them and their families. If we trade back and conduct strikes that kill 20 or 30 Iranian military, would that help? Is it really cynical of me to think this is Russia-Iran-China working to turn the electorate against Biden?

CousinsCowgirl84 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 We have to go after Iran on Iran soil. Otherwise the sleepy joe monicker will become too real. Trump will keep bashing him over and over again, and the fact that much of this is Trumps fault due to his policy of retreating American leadership, it won’t matter.

Renegade7 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) US is now directly engaging with one of Iran's proxy militias while Israel is kicking the teeth in of the other one. I'm not convinced Iran is really bout that life to go full scale-war to defend them because at this point they don't have any friends in the area expect maybe Syria and Iraq (the latter is half and half absolutely doesn't want to be). Iran absolutely could jus Saber rattle and let both those groups get annihilated, which would ruin their credibility with Hezbollah and make it impossible to keep them at bay if they choose to jump in to defend them appropriately since Iran won't. This would be an all-out regional war with Iran surrounded...it's more likely their proxy groups are totally decimated instead. Again, no one wants all-out regional war except hardliners talkin trash from safe locations. Even Taliban is telling folks to chill. On good note, Sweden looks on its way into NATO, remember that being a topic here not too long ago (some good news). I'm not really getting what Hungary's deal is, but Turkey is finally on board.

We should bring the war to Iran. They are the sole source of funding and weaponry. They are directing these terrorists. They are calling the shots.
