Is Iran really a threat to GCC ?

[Curious_Guy]

I just read this article and as always had this question .Is Iran seriously a huge threat to GCC ? I think Iran would never attack SA or anyother of GCC because it would mean whole of Islamic world turning against them and why would Iran want that its already in a very tricky place .

A few quotes from the article

The Middle East Has Four Minutes To Act If Iran Fires a Missile

“You can’t just buy lots of interceptors and park them in the desert,” said Thomas Karako,
You’ve got to stitch them together into the network and give them plenty of early warning and sensor information so they know where to shoot.

Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar and Kuwait all have a version of the Patriot, which is made by Raytheon. Saudi Arabia purchased $2 billion worth of Patriots last month and Qatar signed a $2.4 billion deal for interceptors in December.

Qatar has expressed interest in buying a massive, missile-tracking radar akin to what the Pentagon uses to track objects heading toward the United States.

Is all this spending really worth it ?

The GCC is equipped with 100's of billions of dollars worth of the wests top military equipment.

Not to mention the wests military bases...

I think the GCC is fine.

No its just a strategy by intelligence agencies to pump fake news so that it could lead to GCC countries spending billions in defence and also bring them together against a common threat which is also the enemy of USA and Israel.

Great strategy by CIA etc which is working.

Irans posture and foreign policy isn't helping either.

Iranis are very nationalistic people and they have a long history of grudges against Arab people and similarly Arabs are equally arrogant and believe in the Arab-vs-Ajam bigotry, then there is sectarian angle too and shia and wahabism both are extreme opposites..but there are external forces...simply USA, west and the zionists who do not want peace in the region, because first they are enemies of Islam without any doubt and they are enemies of both shia and sunny.. and in addition they want to profit from this division..They sell weapons which otherwise no one will buy....but the problem is that both sides do not trust each other...Iran has good ties India despite the fact that Pakistan has always tried to establish positive relations with Iran...the latter always backstabbed Pakistan...but for the peace in the region all the parties need to sit down and dedicate themselves to the peace.

most of the irans arsenal consists of easily intercept able short range scuds missiles.only thing that is threat to gcc is iran MRBM which are harder to intercept but are expensive to produce and judging by the numbers of TEL iran have .these missiles are scarce and will only put minor dents in the gcc's defense.

What i meant was that like Pakistan has a real threat of war from Indian side , so is there presence of similar threat between these two parties . They are at two opposite ends and loaded with guns and allegedly GCC has developed relations with Israel to cater Iran . What i fail to understand is , is it such a big enmity that they are going to such lengths . @war&peace , Thank You

Spending hundreds of billions of dollars a year collectively on monkey-modelled western armaments does in no way guarantee protection if your militaries are not competent. Given GCC's performance in Yemen I'd say that the combined forces of all GCC states is around equal to Iran.

As i said they have well documented differences but I was shocked to to know that GCC countries have been covertly cooperating with Israel..the most fascist regime in the world and they have been damaging the Palestinian cause rather I would say they have damaged Palestinian cause more than Israel could ever do... just because Iran funds Hezbollah... rather they should have supported Palestinians even more to get approval of Palestinian people.. but their Iran enmity is so strong because of their arrogance.. that they are ready to go to any lengths. However there is difference between the govts and Arab people.. the former are subservient to USA and west, they are characterless slaves of the west who are actively implementing western agenda in the middle east... they are totally materialistic people without any souls..
While a vast majority of Arab people support Palestinian cause and are totally against Israel but they are not in the position to do anything..they are just the uneducated subjects of these kings.

The very fact that even there is the argument that Iran is on verge of an attack against GCC countries shows how the west and the media have been successful to fool the masses and gullible idiots. It has only one purpose: to milk Arab countries even more.

short range scuds missiles

You seriously need to educate yourself then about Iran's missiles.

I've heard their F-4s are ferocious.

You pulling these theories out of your behind? Iran barely is using any scuds anymore.
Even Iranian short range ballistic missile are now ranged 750km and could pound targets in the PGCC.
Iran has modern missile sejill-2, Emad etc in vast number, just check the underground silos.
