Again the situation’s sufficiently extreme that it doesn’t matter much what systems you actually have in place. The only thing that matters is that the enemy believes you have a MAD system in place.
Heard some of an interview earlier with an intelligence type (maybe Richard Dearlove) who seemed fairly confident Israel/US know where the uranium is. He said they’d be aware Iran would try and move it, and that risk was of less concern, relatively, than the progress of their nuclear capability.
Perhaps the best bet, although Iran’s friends there are the Houthis, of course, not the ‘government’ and the country is a war zone with US-friendly Saudi backing the opposition.
Maybe somewhere in the Horn of Africa ? I guess Sudan’s radical Islam is now a busted flush. Boko Haram in Nigeria are Muslim, but they’re Sunnis and probably hate the Shias almost more than they hate everyone else.
Otherwise you’re left with one of the 'Stans, if you can find friends there.
Sounds like Iran is trying to hit US airbases in Qatar and Iraq now. I guess whether the US responds depends on the damage done.
Edit: apparently strikes were coordinated with Qatar, like their attack on Iraq after the assassination of Solomeini. Oil prices are falling assuming this will be an off ramp for everyone.
Edit 2: Now ceasefire declared. Until Iran starts to rebuild and then round we go again.
Yup.
The US is now withholding supply of arms to Ukraine which have been allocated and paid for. Surely that is tantamount to supporting Russia in this?
