In my judgement, the US Armed Forces have probably permanently lost access to 15 Persian Gulf bases. Iran now poised to control access the Gulf States. US will have to negotiate new access in western Saudi Arabia, Israel, southern Europe.
BREAKING: Iran has just launched anti-ship cruise missiles from Bandar-e Jask in southeastern Iran targeting vessels, an unusual location as it's further from the Strait of Hormuz than other typical Iran launch sites, per initial reports.
A US Air Force F-35A Lightning II also just squawked 7700 emergency over the UAE, while conducting escort operations over the southern Omani corridor of the Strait of Hormuz with its transponders turned off, Flightradar24 shows.
14 years ago: “Most crippling sanctions in history.” Failed.
8 years ago: “Maximum pressure.” Failed.
5 months ago: “Unconditional surrender.” Failed.
Today: “Most crushing economic operation ever.” Bound to fail.
We have seen this movie before. Same bull. Different bullies.
@keith_cranford@elonmusk Yes but people have had much more in their system. A drug user can easily take more. It’s not a lethal dose it depends on who it’s for. For example a frequent fent user can handle a lot more than someone who hasn’t.
@SenRickScott With all due respect Senator Scott, you voted for the Big Beautiful Bill that increased spending while cutting taxes, which made this year’s deficit even worse than it would have been.
🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷⚡️ — U.S. servicemen in one of the Gulf states have scribbled protest messages on the dust of an aircraft flap:
"BiBi's CUCKS"
"Be a good goy and do what Israel tells you to!!!"
"Operation Epstein Fury"
"Peace Deal #64 Incoming"
"ALL THIS FOR THE HOLY LAND"
"I LOVE ISRAEL I AM A Good Goyim"
So far, the Trump administration in his second term has spent roughly 75 days in active fighting with Iran against 11 days in negotiations.
That is a 7 to 1 ratio.
War outweighing diplomacy.
@lfxs1212@HormuzReport lol they don’t have an option. Who cares if they don’t accept it. What are they going to do? What happened to the naval escorts?????
EXCLUSIVE: President Donald Trump’s frustration over the Iran war boiled over at Camp David last week, where he demanded answers from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on why he had apparently been misled on extreme munitions shortages that now threaten to limit military options with Iran.
