[Eko]

28. I dont see where ships from 20 plus countries have been attacked by Iran.

And I cant find where any from the Philippines has been attacked. What makes you say all of that?
Here is the list of countries.
1.Gibraltar
2.Marshall Islands
3.Liberia
4.Honduras
5.United States of America
6.Malta
7.Panama
8.Bahamas
9.United Arab Emirates
10.Thailand
11.Japan
12.Kuwait
13.Qatar
14.Singapore
15.Greece

15 is certainly not 20 nor very close to 20 plus like you said.
The UAE has 11 corvettes and thats about it as far as their navy. They do have F-16E/F Desert Falcons with a range of about 1,000 miles so they can hit parts of Iran but not very much.

Thailand has a better Navy with 7 Frigates and 5 corvettes. They have a good amount of attack jets but they don't have the range to get to Iran and have no carriers.

Japan has a much larger navy with 8 Frigates and 41 destroyers. They do have 4 helicopter carriers so that would help some.
They have zero large carriers but the do have F35's and could use aerial refueling but that would be a long way 4,773 miles and not feasible. They have zero bombers.

The US has 27 corvettes and 83 destroyers, 1,791 fighters, 11 aircraft carriers, 5,913 helicopters, and 142 strategic bombers.

Japan is about the only one that could help us that wouldnt be a drop in a bucket and that's only with probably about 10-15 destroyers and maybe 2 frigates.
I fail to see how any of that would change the situation very much at all if at all.
