🧵1-TLDR we're fighting for unclear "objectives" in what is primarily a military & narrative warfare campaign, but Iran is simply responding by waging super-obvious, easy to grasp economic & political warfare, inflaming public opinion & tanking the economy, Trump's exact fears🤦♂️

Since the US 🇺🇸 - Israeli 🇮🇱 operations in Iran 🇮🇷 started, more than 15 000 aistrikes happened, half by the IDF, half by the USAF
Since the first day, I made around 10 different maps and gathered multiple others. Here, you can see two zones of strikes :

NEW: Sources tell me frustration inside the Trump White House is mounting over Israel’s latest strikes — with one person familiar describing them as “very reckless.”
Qatar has privately warned U.S. officials that targeting energy infrastructure “needs to be stopped,” the source says.

@DashaBurns This is the hundredth fake "Trump is fed up with Netanyahu" story. We get these about once every five days. We're ignoring them now.

If Trump really blamed Israel, he would stop Israel.

It’s official.
They’re fucking winging this.
Yes this MEU was scheduled for an April deployment to INDOPACOM but it will take:
- 22 days to get to the PG at max speed sustained (which means no port visits or stops)
- 30 days to get there at average cruising speed.
So clean up or backup for an unplanned amphibious campaign? No one knows. They’re winging it.
At this point prepare for mobilization of the 82nd airborne, 75th Rangers, 10th Mountain and all the SOF in the world.
Trump needs and offramp or this war will go on for the next year after he declares victory.

As Iran increasingly launches ballistic missiles carrying cluster bomb warheads at Israel, indiscriminately spreading dozens of small munitions over a wide area, the Israeli Air Force faces a constant dilemma whether or not to shoot them down.
Military officials said Thursday that since the cluster bombs are unlikely to cause significant harm if civilians are sheltering, there are times when the IAF chooses not to shoot down all or some of the bomblets to conserve its stockpile of short-range interceptors.
Iran has fired over 350 ballistic missiles at Israel since the start of the war on February 28.
