Begins? Nah. It’s been ongoing for decades. These two don’t gave contiguous borders so it’s limited to air delivered ordinance.
Israel has has this ability for over a decade, perhaps longer. What it lacked was a green light from Washington which it seems to have got.
Why? To soften up the Iranians and make them more amenable to a deal that is acceptable to the concerned neighbours.
Very interesting.

That would be incredible if it happens

No DGMO or foreign office spokesperson. It comes from the PM

What is to the rear of Iran? Pakistan
Now you know why Americans were being partial to them recently.

And here is Trump saying he wants peace but cozying up to Pakistan and preparing to deal with Iran. But I wonder how China will cope with it as it has strong interests in Pakistan and Iran

He will get Pakistan to inadvertently help Israel
Not well
China gets 15% (officially) of its oil supply from Iran. This is going to be interesting.

While we hit 9 sites under a nuclear overhang, the Israelis could be more liberal

Where does China acknowledge that?
Matlab Iran will no longer see Pakistan as a friendly neighborhood Spiderman but Thanos.
Jokes apart…Good for India in a way.
Pakistan ka neend urr gaya hoga yeh attack ke baad.
Having said India will also face problems as it has close ties with both Israel and Iran and will now have to choose.

Exactly
What or who is making us choose?
In what way are our relations with Iran detrimental to Israel and vice versa?
I don’t see this scenario coming up.
India will release official statement. Either condemning Israel action or supporting Israel.
Or it may play neutral card.
I feel India has played enough neutral cards and frankly am not sure it has helped India very much.

True but we don’t have any ambition to be global power anyways. We just want to keep trading with all and make money and go about on our own.
India only wants powerful enough to make sure nobody messes with it.( Sadly that is also not happening )

US has already sanctioned several Indian firms dealing with Iranian crude and Indian imports have fallen to less than $10m, though total imports are still around a $1 bn.
Not as much at stake compared to pre-Covid times but India will probably just keep doing word gymnastics and UN abstentions.

How effective these strikes will be in delaying if not stopping IRI’s nuclear progress is the main question.
Successfully hitting an underground site is wow stuff :woot:
Reality is less dramatic

India Neutral card shown.( Not that I am complaining).

Oh God , where is all of this going to take us.
China’s trading relationship with USA may be more important to them than basket case countries like Iran. China can get oil and gas from other places too, for what’s worth. They will play Pak like a fiddle.
India as usual do bilateral trade and defense relations with anyone found comfortable, will not play together with anyone, my gain some and suffer some.
