If and when the Iranian and allied attack on Israel begins, the first signs will likely be Israel and Iran quickly closing their airspace.

I suspect Iran will use far more ballistic missiles and far less cruise missiles and drones than in April, as these are slower and will…

My point is if they're going to thrown another tantrum, they're going to give a warning and the airspace will be closed.C@LAg said:yes, and?Rapier108 said:
Plenty of aircraft flying over Iraq and Iran right now. Many of them are Emirates and Qatar.
Last time Iran threw a tantrum, the airspace was completely empty.
last time they did not launch until a sunday after numerous days of advance warnings.

Sink Kharg Island and it will bring the Iranian economy to its knees.AtticusMatlock said:
Knock off Russian and Chinese crap that they have reverse engineered. If the Israelis want to take out Iranian oil production there's nothing Iran can do to stop it.

Odds are it WON'T.
But high alert still necessary! Scary situation.
Just curious why this factory / island is so important? I see the massive tank battery, is this their main crude export loading terminal ?lb3 said:Sink Kharg Island and it will bring the Iranian economy to its knees.AtticusMatlock said:

And probably China's as well. They buy lots of Iranian oil.lb3 said:Sink Kharg Island and it will bring the Iranian economy to its knees.AtticusMatlock said:

Take out Kharg and Iran will immediately attempt to close the Straits ... sucking the US into the fray with our Gulf carrier group. Current US leadership gives me zippo comfort in our ability to manage tit-for-tat events like this.lb3 said:

That's why "sinking it" is not such a good idea. On the other hand, that island is nothing more than a rock covered in useless oil export equipment if you take out the supply to it - pipelines, pumping stations, etc. It sends the message that it could be a lot worse without setting them back years and punishing our allies.The Kraken said:How much would crude oil prices spike?
