Iran launched a new wave of attacks Thursday at Israel, American bases and countries around the region, threatening that the United States would “bitterly regret” torpedoing an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean and calling for “Trump’s blood,” while Israel said it hit multiple targets in Iran.
Israel announced multiple incoming missile attacks and air sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Iranian state television said additional strikes also targeted U.S. bases.
The Israeli military said it had hit 80 targets in Lebanon linked to the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group over the past 24 hours and that a wave of strikes on Iran had hit long range ballistic missile launch sites and other targets.
They basically already are. They’re not attacking because they can’t, not out of measured caution.
The RSAF has in the neighborhood of 400 fixed wing attack aircraft, they can strike Iran at will.
The UAE has 120 fixed wing combat aircraft, they can also strike Iran at will.
The Emirates and Israelis have worked together a bit in Africa so they should be familiar with earth other’s tactics and since most of their planes are American they can refuel using US tankers
