Since when was Jordan considered one of the Persian Gulf States?
Houthi kamikaze fishing boat blew up on the British tanker “Cordelia Moon” from a couple days ago. Not sure why only one person engaged the craft.
Rocket ascends relatively slow and faces decreasing resistance due to thinning of air; the aerodynamic heating is low and decreasing with altitude. Opposite happens during descent: descends faster, increasing resistance, high aerodynamic heating. And that's assuming the nosecone fairing isn't discarded / MIRV'ed. Experimental data from NASA's Atlas/Centaur rockets show the nosecone fairing temperature does not exceed 700K on ascent, while any rocket engine exhaust is ~3600K. Iran's older Shahab-3 (which was visible in some videos) has 5 cluster munitions within the nosecone fairing.
So, an ICBM will cool down in space but not Irani rocket because there is "no heat convection in space". Lol. You don't seem too sure about your argument.
This method isn't particularly new to Israel. There were reports from years ago that Israel had coerced mapping services to mask many of their bases with rural farmlands. Many Israeli bases also appear blurred or manipulated on Yandex and Google Earth. Another example involving the US base in Israel,
Mashabim "air base" ... without a runway....
I counted about 17-18 interceptors launched from the ground, a far cry from 100+ ("181 Iranian missiles launched and most intercepted").
Just as I stated previously: censor is strong, casualties not allowed to be reported.
Attack Russia, wait for Russia to retaliate, then US/EU is forced to join in... seems to be the plan.
They look more like nosecone fairings separating to release cluster munitions which is what the older Shahab-3 does upon re-entry. And I didn't see 100+ interceptors.
Well, Russian is the 2nd most spoken language in Israel after Hebrew. I doubt they will return to Russia, although many did in the past, because the Ashkenazi who founded Israel and rule the country.. a lot of them are from Russia. I don't think most of them are Russian nationals anymore but just of Russian background from their parents / grandparents.

Iran could hit Israel’s two refineries,sub conductor infrastructure as well as their electrical grid. Israel’s economy is already in the shitter now. A national blackout would do serious damage on their economy. And yeah lots of Israelis have generators but the demand for diesel will be even higher as we have seen in Ukraine which means higher prices ie inflation.
The Persian Gulf monarchies saying they are neutral in any war between Iran and Israel it’s a major problem for the US and Israel. Israel may fly from Azerbaijan but that’s asking a lot. And I doubt Baku wants to anger Iran. And Turkey wouldn’t allow it. Only way would be through US aircraft carriers but that means full scale war. I could see Israel retaliate through assassinations. Without the Gulf monarchies it going to be hard for Israel to strike Iran.

true, but the point is now Mossad won't feel safe anymore as it can be hit relatively "easily"
A more important message Iran sent with these attacks was received in Washington. The war mongers who thought they could bomb Iran from the safety of Gulf States now know that their bases- which are only a few hundred KMs from Iran - would be vaporised in an instant.
That millennium challenge war game never lied after all
Most Iranian missiles are 500 km in range or lower. Those US bases like the one in Qatar are easily within such range.
One example is the Raad-500 but also older missiles like Fateh-110.
Shorter range would also mean the missiles would be both more accurate and there would be lower response time.
I believe that the main message is really the potential for nuclear attacks or attacks on critical infrastructure. If Iran can get so many hits on an airbase, what can they do to Israeli high tech industry? And if Iran gets a nuke, everyone will know that they can deliver it to Israel and defeat Israeli air defence. The first Chinese nuclear device only weighed 1550 kg. The ghadr 110 can apparently carry up to 1000kg of warhead. With modern technological knowledge and data from Korea, the first device Iran builds can probably fit into a missile without further miniaturisation needed. If Israel attacks the nuclear program, Iran might finally have the excuse to go nuclear
I imagine it's a situation like Chiang Kai Shek being forced by his Generals to defend China against the Japanese, as opposed to attacking the CPC
