@Pataramesh@hey_itsmyturn You have to admit, at no point during this conflict did it ever look like Iran was winning. They weren't. Trump saved them himself and no one saw that coming.
Typically any country trump mentions for any collation, they come forward & deny. This is the state of the world's "strongest country".
No one wants to do anything with their actions.
What delulu world these people live in is beyond me. They expect a country to sit tight & keep getting hit from neighboring soil just because "it's not morally viable". If India uses afghani soil to attack PAKISTAN. Should Pakistan also take the high ground? & Let the trade flow?
The united states wanted to "co-own" the strait with Iran. Have some sort of control. Which is never going to happen.
This toll will happen. & The world will pay. Just give it some time.
I am genuinely struggling to understand this logic.
If the rest of the world is willing to pay a small toll to Iran to keep oil flowing and stabilise markets, then why does the U.S. feel the need to block all shipping, especially when it is not dependent on that oil?
@WorldStrategist When international law died when trump launched this war on Iran. Repeatedly everyday international law was violated in this war.
When "international law" doesn't help you safeguard your country & your people, one should throw it out the window which Iran did, rightfully.
Two key points to understand this tweet.
โข Df-17, also known as Carrier killer
โข We will target the warship in 30 minutes, if it doesn't turn around & return.
@Pataramesh That's a very old American trick. Push it through the news so the Iranians could look weak when they impose their will about not opening the strait. & The orange-man wouldn't look weak.
A few days ago, an Iranian embassy (I donโt remember which one) posted claiming that Iran could not reopen the Strait because it had โlost the key.โ
The worst part is that Iran itself admitted it really lost the key, it no longer knows exactly where the mines it placed are located, and thatโs why it wonโt reopen the Strait right now.
Obviously, all the mines are mapped. Iran simply doesnโt trust the US and refuses to take any step before receiving concrete concessions.
AN/FPS-132 a high-value-target worth 2 or 3 Fateh-313 ballistic missiles
But Iran choses to just hit its northern face directed towards ๐ฎ๐ท.
The other 2 faces just damaged by drones as it seems
Why? To leave them with a capability to detect Israeli attacks, it failed last time?
President of the ๐บ๐ธ, an old man, , spending his time to watch Mark Levin on Foxnews...
Iran's cards:
๐ Controlling global Oil price via Strait of Hormuz, with no ๐บ๐ธ-means to stop it
๐ Suppressing normal life & economic activity in Israel, steadily & persistent
๐ Holding U.S. Persian Gulf Arab ๐บ๐ธ-allies industries at permanent, persistent risk
๐ Steadily & constantly dismantling U.S. bases in the region and destruction of the assets they house
Final & most important ๐ :
Having offensive capability, firepower that is constant in quantity and can't be effectively degraded by the means available to the U.S.
โก๏ธ Short, the capability to respond at scale
