The US military can’t open the strait of hormuz because of what the Iranians have on shore. The Iranians have been blowing up port facilities at the ports the US use in the gulf. The Iranians can hit any target they choose in the gulf at will.

Iranian missiles and drones are still being launched. The Iranian regime is still functioning at a high level. Oil prices are climbing. LNG prices are sky high with physical shortages not speculators driving the pricing increase. Allied oil facilities are easily hit by Iranian attacks. Now oil tankers are burning.

What’s happening at US airbase in the gulf? Is this where all the US casualties are coming from? How many long distance radar arrays have been taken out? How many do we have left in inventory? Are US planes being hit on the ground?

Everyone is saying the military is doing a great job. Are they really? Has anything changed? Do results count or is it just the number of bombs being dropped? This reminds me of Vietnam and body counts. Does not seem like what they are bombing for billions of dollars a day is accomplishing anything besides hardening resolve.

Why is no one asking these questions? Whats it going to look like in a week? What’s it going to look like in a month?

I mean, ya, this is the kind of thing you line up before hand....and maybe others would participate if the president wasn't bad mouthing them, imposing tariffs and otherwise acting like a lone wolf.

If Iran gets nuked, that's Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, western China, Russia and others affected. If Israel gets nuked, Jordan, Iraq, Iran bear the brunt of it.

Likewise what's the point of Kim seizing the moment to blow up Seoul? If he succeeded, he'd inherit ruins that he does not have the resources to rebuild.

We have to worry about Israel using nuclear weapons not China or Russia.

Exactly this. They're a terrorist nation state at this point.

And the US is with them

What real data is there on civilian targets being hit vs IRGC?
