What the f*ck ??!!!
Okay Iran... okay. This country is playing havoc with the entire region - even beyond the usual Middleast clusterfuck: all the way from Israel to Pakistan to Somalia !
The way things go, sooner rather than later there will be a global, anti-Iran coalition with such players as Pakistan, India, and a few others. Iran is really playing with fire is a rather suicidal way.
When Iraq was invaded some said Iran was just impossible: too vast, too populated for either Israel or USA to tackle. Sure dude, but how about throwing in the lot Pakistan and India ? with populations of 1.5 billion and 300 million respectively ? They could gather enough soldiers to curbstomp and occupy Iran... (don't take this too seriously. I'm just baffled by that Iranian giant clusterfuck).
LOL!!
Pakistan AND india!?,yeah...NO!
I know these 2 are now both western vassals...er...I mean "allies"...,but I certainly dont see them ever agreeing to work together militarily,way too much bad blood and unresolved issues there,like kashmir for instance.
The sad thing about this situation vis-a-vis baluchistan is that like so many of the conflicts currently underway it was completely avoidable,however it seems that no one could be bothered to put in the requisite political effort required to avoid the military options,sad really.
Despite the wests rather biased view Iran very rarely ever acts "rashly",indeed if you knew anything about recent events in the region you would understand why these strikes took place.
On dec 15th you had 11 security personnel killed in a terrorist attack launched by jaish al adl from their safe havens in pakistani baluchistan.This has been going on for literally decades and despite repeated attempts by iran to get the pakistanis to clean up the area nothing has been done.There was some hope of a possible solution when imran khan and irans pres rouhani agreed to create an iran-pakistan rapid reaction force,but with the removal of khans government and its replacement with a more....shall we say...."western friendly" regime that iniative appears to be dead.
You had the worst terrorist attack in the history of the iri on the 3rd jan 2024,with 94 killed and 284 injured,isis claimed responsibility for this.
On the 25th of dec you had a high ranking irgc general killed in syria by an israeli airstrike.
Once you realise all of this it starts to look a lot less like a so called....."giant clusterfuck".
Now I guess we`ll just have to wait and see if theres going to be iranian retaliation for the pakistani retaliation.I imagine that will depend on pakistan.
