Soleimani’s Quds Force has established Hizbullah-style militias in Iraq where the umbrella organization of Shi’ite militias Hashd al-Shaabi is in control of large parts in the north and west of the country. In Yemen, the Quds Force is working with Ansar Allah or Houthis militia to control the country and to destabilize Saudi Arabia, while in Syria Shi’ite militias together with the Quds Force and Hizbullah “are turning the country into a second Lebanon with the ultimate goal of destroying Israel,” Visser said. “If we take a look at what happened after the U.S. decided to increase sanctions on Iran and annulled waivers on Iranian oil exports at the beginning of May, we will see that the proxy war already has started,” Visser said. In Iraq, Hashd al-Shaabi is reportedly deploying ballistic missiles in the western desert with the reported intention of using them against Israel in a future war. Hizbullah Nujaba, one of the Hashd al-Shaabi militias, has deployed missiles in the vicinity of U.S. bases in Iraq and was reportedly responsible for a missile attack on Baghdad’s Green Zone earlier this month. “This is the Baghdad neighborhood where the U.S. embassy is located,” Visser said. “The attack took place after the U.S. suddenly decided to pull out most of the embassy staff last week and issued a travel warning for US citizens in Iraq.” Also this month, the Israel Air Force reportedly attacked the al-Kiswah region southwest of Damascus where the Quds Force and Hizbullah have headquarters and weapon storages. The Syrian news site Jorf News reported that the Quds Force has started to use a port it leased from the Assad regime in Latakia earlier this year for military purposes. The Quds Force is providing a combat naval training course for the Shi’ite Afghan Fatemiyoun militia transferred from Iran to Syria where it fought along the Syrian army in the war against Islamist militias. “Iran wants to establish a naval force in the Mediterranean Sea in order to use it in a future multi-front missile war against Israel which would see three land fronts: southern Lebanon, the Golan Heights and Gaza,” Visser said. In the Persian Gulf, meanwhile, Iran is using the Ansar Allah militia in Yemen to attack Saudi Arabia while the IRGC is using drones to observe the movements of the U.S. Navy in the waterway.

    Our military forces sent to the gulf area is mainly air power and missles.
    If we respind to some type of terriost attack it will be aginst irans air and missle bases at first and perhaps their socalled secret nuke development bases then last if at all oil production and iinfrastructure.
    Theres no ramping of forces like we did with iraq.

    How would you propose to do that?
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    Iran is being crushed under us sanctions.
    Attacking the saudi pipe line and the oil tankers 8n the straits along with their threats of attacking american ships and military personnel is a attempt to get a sweetheart deal like the chump obama gave them. This isnt going to happen with trump.
    Iran is ruled by relgious heretics terriost and nut jobs.
    The people there deserve better.
