Iranian drone causes delays at UAE airport

[Surenas]

Bro, make up your mind, are your weapons so stealthy that no one knew where they fired from or did Iran intend to make it known it fired from its territory? Iran fired the drones and missiles from its territory and then into Iraq/Kuwait to make it appear like it was from Iraq. Your policymakers did not want the attack to be traced back into Iran, no matter what you guys on PDF believe.

And this does not change what I said, I said Iran is not confident enough to get into open war with Saudi Arabia, and its true. If Saudi Arabia decides to respond then it will not be good for you.

Who cares. The most important thing is that Saudi and the Americans know that Iran was behind the attack. And the message Iran send was loud and clear. The fact that Iran denies it at the international stage of public opinion is irrelevant.

Same why Russia didn't acknowledge its little green men in Crimea and Israel doesn't acknowledge many of the aerial attacks it conducts. Has nothing to do with fear. No one in Iran fears the Saudis.

But I understand your little pan-Arab pride has been hurt. The Saudis have been severely humiliated and the only thing they have done is running towards the Americans for protection. Like the cowards they are.

Only Iranians, Saudis, Emirates, and some cheerleaders of Iran believe this.

Its not literal, its a figure of speech. I hope you understand better now.

If Saudis were smart they would put Iran to the test by now.

Well the Saudis didnt, or havent, so by your logic, they are stupid.

The long term results would not be good for Iran.

And? You're not Iran or Iranian govt so why worry about what Iran will receive/ have to deal with? instead of minding your Arabusiness you're here talking about Iran. You better tell KSA and UAE to improve their military competence,because their incompetence has made Iran's fake Russian weapons as good and able as their "original" American weapons.

hat is my opinion and I am adamant about it.

yes you're passionate, but i'm passionate about being right. we will see.

It's not about if you care or not, it's just the reality and I explained it to other members here.

Same why Russia didn't acknowledge its little green men in Crimea and Israel doesn't acknowledge many of the aerial attacks it conducts. Has nothing to do with fear. No one in Iran fears the Saudis.

Israeli's acknowledged their attacks multiple times, and Russians have made many statements indicating their involvement in Crimea/Ukraine. Iran on other hand is always trying to distance itself from any attacks and uses EU/China/Russia as a cover.

But I understand your little pan-Arab pride has been hurt. The Saudis have been severely humiliated and the only thing they have done is running towards the Americans for protection. Like the cowards they are.

I'm have no stake in this fight so not sure what you mean about my 'pride being hurt'. The Saudis have been humiliated but their population doesn't care. So the humiliation effect did not achieve much for Iran. Iran did one successful attack, yet sanctions remain and this one attack isn't going to get it leverage at the negotiating table. Even though Iran really upped the ante this time. So it is looking more like nothing short of war can get sanctions removed. And you have no choice but to wait Trump out or get into open war with Saudi Arabia.

Which is not good for you and your policy makers understand that. If you care to dispute this please go ahead and give your reasons.

Well the Saudis didnt, or havent, so by your logic, they are stupid.

Indeed they are, I've never hid the fact that I find the Saudi royal regime to be ruled by idiots, lol. They are stupid and fearful, and don't understand the long term side of things.

Then go mind your business in Nigeria. I'm actually from the ME and this affects all of us in the ME. And I have family in Saudi Arabia. You on other have nothing to do with the ME. Besides your religious affiliation with Iran.

yes you're passionate, but i'm passionate about being right. we will see.

And you're not right. Reality is, Iran has to go to war. And the long term results are bad for Iran. The short and long term results are bad for Saudi Royal family too. They will disappear. But, you have to understand that's what I want to happen and see it as being a positive for ME Muslims, lol.

It's not about if you care or not, it's just the reality and I explained it to other members here.

The reality is that every regional and international actor knows the main culprit of the attack, and Iran knows that they know. Plausible deniability on the other hand provides Iran with much more diplomatic and political leniency and that is the only reason why it denies involvement.

Israeli's acknowledged their attacks multiple times, and Russians have made many statements indicating their involvement in Crimea/Ukraine. Iran on other hand is always trying to distance itself from any attacks and uses EU/China/Russia as a cover.

Russia has never acknowledged that its troops invaded Crimea. For the same reasons.

Of course its population cares. That is why Saudi pundits have threatened locals to not leak videos of the attack. MBS has sold the image of Saudi as a superpower to the public and Iran has shattered that image in one night. But humiliation was just a side-effect of that attack. The main message Iran send was that it can decimate Saudi infrastructure whenever it wants. And it seems like both the Saudis and Emiratis have realized that by now.

They are a minority, rest of population blindly supports the Royal Family under any circumstance.

Iran cannot decimate Saudi infrastructure whenever it wants. Incompetent Saudi intelligence did not anticipate a strike coming from the north and thus did not adequately protect the facility and had some defenses pointed to the south. Any other country would have not made this big of a mistake. If they learn from it, they will limit your ability to wreak havoc on their infrastructure. And you need lots of long range ballistic missiles to do so. Which are not cheap and it's known how much quantity you have of them.

Meanwhile you ignored my point that it still did not achieve anything for you at the negotiation table with the US. Which was the intended objective of the attack and not to send a message to the Saudis as you claim. So you have to make another move again. And it gets riskier each time.
