Title: US Considering Attacking Iran, With Saudi Forces Leading Strike

Officials say strike would be a 'long-term' military effort

Is the United States preparing to attack Iran? On Friday, Defense Secretary James Mattis dismissed this idea as “fiction,” back when the sources were in the Australian military. Yet other US officials have since been quoted as saying the attack is still being considered.

The pretext for this war appears to be the ongoing Yemen War. Last week, Saudi state media claimed that Yemen’s Houthi rebels attacked and slightly damaged a Saudi oil tanker. The Saudis have previously alleged the Houthis are tied to Iran, and US media is treating this as some sort of transference, and reporting that Iran attacked the Saudi oil tanker, even though no one alleged that ever happened.

Since the US has spent years presenting oil security as a reason for war with Iran, they are considering using that excuse. Officials say that this would be mostly a Saudi-led attack, with Saudi Arabia and its allies doing the bulk of the fighting, and relying on the US for support.

Officials say this would require a “long-term military effort” against Iran. The US expectations that they might keep their involvement limited to a support role appears particularly unrealistic, given how much the same Saudi-led coalition has struggled to conquer Yemen.

The danger here is that both the US and what it envisions to be its proxy army are going to each go into a war with high expectations for one another, and each get into a much bigger war than they bargained for.

There are few specifics about what form this war would take, as US officials were insisting as recently as a few days ago that they are not interested in regime change in Iran. It is hard to imagine, however, that they could get the major Sunni Arab states to attack Shi’ite Iran with any hope of it being “limited.”

We can only pray that this story is pure bullshit.

Denied by Mattis. Makes no sense. Saudi Arabia lead the attack.No American military man would go to war with the Saudis leading the attack. I wrote the following which I posted here.

The US has attacked Serbia, Libya, Iraq, Syria and others, all without cause. So why wouldn't we start a war with Iran? The answer has been that Iran can fight back, so maybe its not a good idea. Seems that the neocons are now willing to take the chance.

Of course not. An attack on Iran would be air strike only targetting infrastructure and civilians. No ground invasion.

ROFLMAO!

OK,ya kinda had me going for a minute,and then you mentioned Saud forces leading the strike. They exist purely to protect the Royal family,and the senior officers are all members of the royal family. Fighting is for peasants,not them.

Back in the days when the Bush Crime Family were in the WH to protect the Sauds,the US military would have been ordered to do it after the Saud payment cleared,just like they invaded Iraq and hanged Saddam Hussein to protect the Sauds. It was the Sauds that bought Boy Jorge out of bankruptcy in the oil business and gave him enough money to buy the Texas Rangers so he could kick off his political career. They have been renting the Bush Crime Family and the US military ever since the days of Poppy. Maybe even earlier.

AFAIK,Trump doesn't owe them squat.

Because the Bush Crime Family is no longer in the WH,so there is nobody in a position to pimp out our military.

Not entirely--ask the Yemenis.

The Saudi air force is heavily equipped with US junk like the F35s As an assault on Iran would be from the air, Saudi planes could act as figureheads.

WOW! They took on the mighty Yemini Army?????

In a air war,where the Saud Royal Blood could pick and choose which targets THEY bombed and strafed?

Don't know if there is a Saudi army. The Saudis bomb, blockade and most likely use biological warfare against the Yemenis.

We attacked Syria and Libya under Obama.

The Saudi royal family used to be Jewish before converting which expalins their alliance with Israel.

And Bush used to be spelled Busch. They were Jews a long time ago.

I strongly suspect there is. I do know there are Saudi Special Forces units. Pretty much every officer in them is a member of the Royal Family,and you have never seen a more arrogant turd in your life,with less reason to be arrogant about anything. They are oxygen thieves.

Seems like everybody used to be a Jew a long time ago,doesn't it?

I'd bet even you have a Jew or two clinging to branches in your family tree.
