US–Israel Strike Iran, Middle East Explodes! Major Gaurav Arya | The Chanakya Dialogues

Geopolitical Conflict: US, Israel, and Iran Escalation
📌 The conflict involves a US and Israeli pre-emptive attack against Iran, followed by Iran's retaliatory actions across the Middle East.
💥 Iran reportedly launched counter-attacks targeting areas including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, and Kuwait, escalating the conflict beyond just Israel.
📜 The underlying "end game" of the attack is speculated to be Regime Change in Iran—removing Khamenei and installing a compliant regime.

Analysis of Iranian Retaliation & Regional Impact
🎯 Iran targeted strategic US bases in the region, specifically mentioning Al Udeid Airbase in Qatar and bases in Kuwait and the UAE, suggesting a direct challenge to US military presence.
🧐 Contradictory reports emerged from Qatar regarding missile interceptions versus reported loud explosions in Doha, suggesting Iranian missiles may have landed despite initial claims of full interception.
🛑 The wide-ranging attacks on Gulf states like Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar may force these nations, who have existing defense pacts (like the one between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan), to react, significantly broadening the scope of the conflict.

Statements and Underlying Motives
🗣️ Donald Trump focused on tactical goals: destroying Iran's missile industry and navy, and calling for the Iranian people to take over their government.
🇮🇱 Benjamin Netanyahu framed the operation as removing an "existential threat" and referenced the historical "Lion" imagery associated with the former Shah's flag, indicating a desire to revert to a monarchy.
💵 The analyst posits that the attacks on economic centers like Dubai are designed to strike the entire economic structure of the Middle East, suggesting the US/Israel might not act decisively without securing Iranian oil interests (a viewpoint attributed to the analyst: "Without oil Trump will not act").

Key Points & Insights
➡️ The concept of a Defense Pact between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan is highlighted; the execution of this pact (or lack thereof) following the attack on Saudi Arabia will be a crucial indicator of regional alignment.
➡️ Iran's strategy of attacking multiple Gulf nations instead of just Israel is deemed a potential mistake, as it risks uniting several capable regional militaries against Tehran.
➡️ Despite aggressive rhetoric from Iran (promising a "crushing response"), the analyst doubts Iran possesses the technology to sustain a full conflict against the combined capabilities of the US and Israel.
