Iran again attacked the American military base "Victory Camp" in Baghdad, the Iraqi capital. Iranian drones and Shaib-12 missiles were used in the strike. An ammunition depot at the base was presumably hit. Baghdad Airport was also struck, damaging an Iraqi Air Force An-32 aircraft.

US plan is to send in 50k troops and encircle the nuke sites perimeter and to try to secure the nuke material. Like I said, Iran needs to spread their nuke materials to several different sites. Even if US is successful in one site, they need to find the nuke materials at several other sites.

Iran needs artillery, missiles and drones for offense. At first, I thought US was going to send in ground troop to take out the Houthis which is much easier task than going into Iran.

At this point it seems fairly certain the UAE will attempt to jump in with the ground invasion, though given their previous loss against Yemen, going after Iran seems an ill-adviced affair for a country where most of their personel seem to be either mercs or nepo babies princes of some kind.

It almost has to be majority mercenaries.
I just googled these numbers really quickly, but the number of actual UAE citizens is only 1 - 1.5 million
The army is 45,000 active duty
By comparison Canada has 30+ million citizens and 20,000 army regulars

The Trump administration is dangerously detached from reality. As reality continues to contradict their beliefs they are going to get more and more destructive. The recent threat to destroy Iran ‘s infrastructure for power and water is the latest example of that. What happens if/when Iran doesn’t capitulate and strikes other nations in the region infrastructure? What happens if oil gets to $200 a barrel? What is the next escalation after that?
True TACO will happen when you have FPV drone videos of American Marines/Airborne troops being blown up and their Instagram/Twitter/TikTok accounts being identified from said videos. I can imagine Democrat Senators/Representatives lining up on Parliament Hill parading the poor relatives of these KIA Marines/Airborne troops to lambast the GOP in stopping the war.
