That's America going out of the way to show that their strikes are way beyond Iranian territory. Attacking imaginary "Iran backed forces" in Iraq is just close enough to showing teeth but far enough from Iran's mainland.Unideitified Aircraft Carried Out First Airstrike On ‘Iranian-backed Forces’ In Iraq (link: http://dlvr.it/R8kpvM) dlvr.it/R8kpvM
I don't think so Pakis will agree to thisI think pakis will also be involved in this and US would require them if there is a land invasion and it would be through balochistan as the region through iraq is mountainous or most probably help in logistics.
It's seems the declaration of BLA as terrorist outfit is 1st indication of US warming up to pakis.
Once again pakis will be handed a get out of jail card by US.
Chinese objection would depend upon what kind of support pakis provide, if it's just logistics then they would be more than happy to let them use gwadar.
Between Arabs and Iran, pakis will have no option but to tow their arab masters line.I don't think so Pakis will agree to this
Iran is not Afghanistan that cannot retaliate , Irani cruise missles can bombard Gwadar(too close to the coast) ,Karachi even Islamabad
Iran can activate Shia militias in Pakistan and then we will also do our bit on eastern border
We may even allow our Shias to fight for Iran
And not even the Chinese will agree to this , their investments would turn to dust
Pakistan already rejected participation in Yemen war and Pakistan has huge Shia minority that love Iran more than Pakistan. Paki awam will not allow another war like AfghanistanBetween Arabs and Iran, pakis will have no option but to tow their arab masters line.
Land invasion would only come the later part when US airforce and navy has already destroyed most of Iran's strategic assets.
Iran would definitely try these things mentioned, but iran would also be fighting multiple fronts, it would be really difficult for iran.Pakistan already rejected participation in Yemen war and Pakistan has huge Shia minority that love Iran more than Pakistan. Paki awam will not allow another war like Afghanistan
Also Iran can activate Baloch rebels and Shia militias and Pakistan will have another one hostile neighbour along with Afg and India
The whole point of USA strategic focus on Arab region is oil supply. If Iran destroys the oil supply by bombarding the oil fields and export terminals, things will be very difficult. These oil fields are extracted by complex machinery and need extensive infrastructure like sea water pumps, oil and water separation, Enhanced oil recovery techniques and drilling for kilometres underground. These things will need several months to be repaired once destroyed. The world will not be able to bear this shortage of oil.Between Arabs and Iran, pakis will have no option but to tow their arab masters line.
Land invasion would only come the later part when US airforce and navy has already destroyed most of Iran's strategic assets.
If United States goes for war with Iran , that will be perfect time for India to annex Pakistan Occupied Kashmir and China to invade Taiwan/ Republic of China.Gulf War Report: U.S. Starts Preparations For War With Iran
