With the USS Gerald Ford set to be in the area in the coming days, that's three aircraft groups in the region. That is an unbelievable amount of firepower that Iran has no answer for. Their only rational response at this point would be to accept that their nuclear weapons program has come to an end and pursue a ceasefire. Any escalation that Iran pursues from here is going to be met with devastation for the Iranian regime.

And just last week, they completed a rail link specifically to move oil. So now China can get its oil without a water route.

TIL. Just looked it up and reportedly the rail link from Tehran to Jian will take goods and oil back and forth twice as fast as by ship. If anyone is playing 5d chess, it's China.

Doesn't it seem awfully coincidental that right after China finishes it's rail link to ME oil, a conflict pulls US aircraft carriers out of the Pacific, leaving the Chinese navy in complete control? Now the rest of the world will be focused on the Strait of Hormuz, raising oil prices for everyone except China, who will be the only country Iran can sell its oil to, at a steep discount.

I'd say this was actually Trump's 5D chess objective - but of course it wasn't. Just a side benefit to whatever it is that we're doing in the Middle East right now.

So you confirm that Trump is defending OPEC and the Saudi’s interests.

Not even the Saudi, Putin. Russia is financing its economy and Ukraine war thanks to oil and low prices were killing Russia’s economy.

The idiots thought they voted for America First and voted for Israel and Russia first instead.

Now Rubio is begging China to talk to Iran. He’s like a child lost in the mall. Desperately searching for an adult to help while his parents are passed out in the food court bathroom .

Of course it is faster. It is volume and cost that matter.

Britain became a world power because it's primary mines were near the sea.

Israel has an app for that. Pretty easy to disrupt rail when you have air superiority.

Why would China intervene to stop something that's going be so beneficial to them? Rubio better be careful he doesn't give more away to China. Anything they do to help will be a trick.

There's another thread asking if this is the beginning of WWIII. You may want to post your comment over there.

Don't forget to thank them for finally taking action to suppress the spread of violent Islamic Revolution from Iran. Or perhaps you preferred to wait for that cancer to spread more widely, which would have all kinds of financial and other benefits, no doubt.

Also don't forget to thank Israel for all US soldiers that died, trillions wasted, and saving us from WMD. Right.

So now you want Israel to go to war with China. That rail link belongs to China. Yall are crazy. Getting high on your own supply.

KSA is a run by a barbaric murderer, and harbored 911 conspirators.

Please don’t suggest that their interests should inform our foreign policy.

Now you think Israel should bomb CHINA? Lemma guess, with our help. HARD PASS.

Uh no, presumably the rail link starts in Iran.

If this drags on, Iran’s oil infrastructure is dead man walking, either way.
