🇺🇸🇮🇷 President Trump lost his temper during a security meeting, shouting and cursing out of frustration over the military options presented to him and the lack of progress toward a deal with Iran – NBC
The Iranian drone strikes in Egypt yesterday sent a very clear signal to Washington:
We control this war now. And we can hit you whenever and wherever we want.
One of the factors Iran is trying to take away from Trump now is the ability to start and stop this conflict when it suits him. This is the end game of escalation dominance.
The United States can certainly strike Iran and conduct military operations at will, but the concept of escalation dominance held by Iran since the start of this war is probably the strongest it’s ever been.
Through proxy targeting of Aramco facilities in Saudi Arabia, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, strikes on Gulf desalination and energy, and now the ability and WILLINGNESS to strike first, the Iranians are able to choice how this conflict now plays out.
This is particularly dangerous because Iran also controls when this war ends. President Trump, without question, wants this war done as soon as possible. This was never intended to run for 6 months, nor put the global economy at great risk.
When Iran decides to take a deal, Trump will begrudgingly oblige. When Iran decides to keep the status quo of dueling blockades, Trump knows that escalation is foolish. And when Iran decides they want to flex their power or turn up the dial on the global economy, Trump will have no ability to stop them.
Iran may be taking punches, but this fight is already over.
The reason why Iran's recent attacks on US bases in Jordan have become more accurate and deadlier is that the local people have started providing the IRGC with specific information! :)))
See, no one wants Americans in their countries! Please get the F out of our region
BREAKING: Saudi Arabia has just launched multiple airstrikes on Sanaa, the capital of Yemen.
Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi warned shortly before "the indications reveal the Saudis are heading toward full escalation. We will meet their full escalation with full escalation."
The "Saudi-led coalition" won't lift a finger against the Zionist regime. Instead, it will attempt to target the Yemeni people who supported Gaza.
All have been exposed.
Egypt is an important friend and partner in the region, and its security is of utmost importance to us.
We must all be vigilant against Israeli plots and false-flag operations designed to undermine regional peace.
The threat is clear, mutual, and fearful of Muslim solidarity.

"The Omanis Proposed to Design a Route that would be 50% under Iran's Control and 50% under Oman's Control We said this would not Resolve Iran's Concerns We said that the Entry Route would be Completely under Iran's Control and a Part of the Exit Route would be under Iran's Control"
