Gulf states want US to finish off Iran

ABU DHABI—Battered by Iranian strikes and the disruption of the Strait of Hormuz, the United Arab Emirates and some fellow Persian Gulf states have come to view Iran’s theocracy as an existential enemy. They now want the regime they once courted to be neutered, if not dismantled, when the conflict ends—so the ordeal is never repeated.

Iran has been a bully to several neighboring countries.

Some of Iran’s proxies in the Middle East include Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria, Hamas in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen, and others. Where its proxies have not been able to take root, Iran has engaged in subversive activities via the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to undermine its rivals and enhance its influence. Iran’s quest for regional dominance has created tremendous instability in the region and inflamed wars that have left thousands dead.

Iran has it's own global bomb and is playing a blinder. Leave us alone or will bring down the global house of cards. Of which they have many unlike Ukraine.

Donald Trump has said the US’s war with Iran will end when he decides — when, as he put it, “I feel it, feel it in my bones.”

But it will not only be up to the US president. Over the past week, as the conflict has escalated and sent shocks through the global economy, Iran’s leaders and military commanders have signalled that — far from a quick capitulation — the Islamic republic plans to silence its guns on its own terms.

“Everybody is fixated on the vacillations of Trump, but it’s completely missing the fact there’s a massive country with its own agency,” said a western official. “What is at play is pretty much the whole raison d’être of the regime, which is to survive and resist.”

Iran views the conflict as an existential threat, is desperate to restore its deterrent and wants to ensure its foes are not willing to pay the price of future attacks, a person close to the regime, diplomats and experts said.

Indeed as the poster above intimates, how much pain can the US government endure compared to the Iranian government? Even though the US and Israel can inflict 100 times more pain on the Iranian regime than vice versa, the Iranian dictatorship can endure 1000 times the pain than the US government.

The thing is Shia's fervently beleive in martyrdom and the head of security in full knowledge he was a dead man walking ddin't cower in a hole like Saddam but defiantly went into the streets. They have balls of steel unlike the west, and you are right their capacity to take pain would be our idea of utter utter hell into which we are slowly being dragged. And they spent 20 years preparing for this moment if the homeland was attacked by the Zionsist agressors they would straight to the jugular the Straits and nearby oil infrastrucure of those who harbour US bases.

No regional honour? I wonder if this is propaganda, 'fake news'.
