No,I don’t think he was joking. In quantity,and numbers,(not to mention fighting ability and spirit) Iran would be ahead. But in modern technical equipment,is where their problems lay. And where Saudi Arabia has an edge.For decades Iran hasn’t been able to update their equipment to a leading edge. While the Saudis have spent untold billions on modern weaponry. Now with the sanctions mostly lifted. The Iranians need to make up for that lost time. They need to purchase huge amounts of Russian weaponry. And spend a lot of money on retooling their own home arms industry.If they want to over take the Saudis in weapons technology.
Since the US “still” is trying to grab Iranian assets in violation of the nuclear agreement. The need to get their hands on weapons is pretty urgent now:
“Iran ordered to pay $10.5 billion for 9/11 by US judge”
The insane stupidly of that knows no bounds.Trying to stick that on Iran. But ruling that Saudi Arabia (home of 15 out of the 19 claimed attackers. And where the other 4 lived.) can’t be blamed because they have “sovereign immunity”.
911 was Mossad/CIA job with a couple of Saudi pizza delivery boys as proxies. The Zionists spend 90% of their energy hiding their false-flags behind hoaxes behind silly charades. No wonder they – already owning everything – never achieve anything. And no wonder they constantly fear degenerating into Golems. Maybe it has already happened. What a farce.
Well – I think the reason for this truly illegal order is that the US can now steal all the frozen Iranian funds they have – under the pretext that the victims can now target these funds.
The lawlessness is now beyond reproach.
“How the case moves forward after Daniels’ ruling is unclear. According to Bloomberg, it can be very hard to obtain damages from another country, but plaintiffs might try to do so by targeting Iranian funds frozen by the US.”
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran has decided to call its own version of the US Sentinel spy drone RQ-170 “Simorgh” (Phoenix), Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Aerospace Force Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh said.
In an interview with the state TV, Hajizadeh said the IRGC named its version of the US drone RQ-170 – that was downed and remanufactured through reverse engineering four years ago – “Simorgh” (Phoenix), an Iranian benevolent, mythical flying creature.
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – British MPs launched an investigation into whether British-made arms are being used by Saudi Arabian forces in a widely-criticized military campaign in Yemen.
The Committee on Arms Export Control will probe whether export control rules have been broken – after the United Nations warned of a “humanitarian disaster” and widespread attacks on civilians in the assault.
That should do exactly “zero” to change anything. How many years has the UK been “investigating” Blair’s involvement in the Iraq War. Those type of investigations are purely “fig leafs” to cover up their crimes ,while “pretending” to want and get to the truth. All it does is waste money,and confuse the sheep that they are looking for “accountability” in their regime’s actions.
2 stories today, very related, but note not a hint of mentioning anything about the theater where something like a smaller version might already be lurking in place as a subtle threat/counter to Saudi attempt to marginalize/neuter Iran by re-running its oilfield pipelines from present loading ports Persian Gulf eg ras Tanura (near Bahrain), to instead southward to ports on Gulf of Aden, which is of course in Yemen.
We do see reports ongoing constantly about the short-range guided rockets hitting not only Saud coast guard vessels out at sea off Yemen, to these same hitting camps/bases a short flight across the SW Yemen border (near Jizan) with S.A .
So why not some much longer range once brought ashore & in place facing a flight across & up S.A. to those crude port loading points?
