If the SAM batteries go to Makkah or Madina its totally acceptable, issue is if they are deptoyed in Dhahran.
Targeting these two will be a rather obvious Kirby moment.
There are Muslim states I can imagine being cynical enough to target holy sites, Iran isn't among them
The biggest lesson from use of VDV in the opening days of SVO back in 2022 was you should not base the success of your entire operation on airborne troops achieving their objective. The correct way to use airborne is like on D-day with 82nd and 101st were if they achieve their objectives then it's a nice to have but if they fail then it won't endanger the whole op. The flip side is Operation Market Garden and Battle of Hostomel Airport, if things go pear shaped they endanger your whole plan then you panic and rush other troops trying to salvage the situation and then the whole thing becomes a cluster.
Trump looks like he's ready to repeat that mistake.
It was claimed that Iran have Chinese hypersonic missiles and chinese scientists are on site to help refine the capabilities.
Interestingly, this coincides with a report that Iran will use their newer missiles in coming days. Could we finally see Chinese toys in action?
Actual MQ-9 shot down, doesn't look like AI to me
There are three things you can hit to 'close' Hormuz:
Saudi's MBS has been opressing the rest of the plus the conservatives since he came to power. The UAE's MBZ is universally hated by Muslims all over the world for working with Israel & other unsavory things like the in Sudan. Also, Bahrain's King wobbles everytime something happens and needs the Saudis to bail him out.
Mind you, that's mostly drones and missiles, Iran can also do boots on the ground. Fear of an FPV drone, IED, or a well placed shot is possibly why MBS for example has not been seen in public for some time now. The others have been seen walking around, but not MBS, the guy seems very paranoid.
So, I read the Pakistani deployment, whatever shape it takes, as a response to the paranoia that seems to govern MBS. Maybe he thinks the Iranians know he goaded Trump into it. Who knows.
- Ships
- Ports
- Oil infrastructure (like wells & storage)

The satellite images that Iran keeps releasing are not all coming from the handful of satellites that they control. Someone is helping them
