@SaysSimulation If you don’t think they planned for Iran to try and close the strait you’re insane

The US went into this war with 2 assumptions: there would be a popular uprising, and Iran would not close the Strait of Hormuz. Both have proven wrong. OK, stop right there. NO MISSION CREEP! As discussed in the thread below, the US has an overwhelming victory. 1/

Getting a lot of pushback - and this is where we need to completely reset attitudes & expectations. No more GWOT 10+ yr campaigns, no more global hegemon tryin to control the world, but a Great Power, with the highest quality military, conducting lightning campaigns. 1/

@Legal_Fil Yeah it’s actually crazy. The other option is letting a nuclear armed Iran decide who gets to transit the strait whenever they feel like it

Yeah, I'm sure Trump "ignored" warnings about the thing that everyone worried about for 3 decades, as opposed to thinking it was still worth the risk. Is there anyone with a functioning brain in charge at the Times, or is it just "Orange Man Bad" all the time.
Edward Wong@ewong

NEW from @nytimes: In the run-up to the Iran War, Trump ignored warnings that Iran could retaliate across the region and stop oil shipments. Now, with energy markets in chaos, some aides are pessimistic about the lack of a strategy to end the war. But they haven't told Trump.

@zaphod58 @minor_triad @Doha1389960 @JakeFrye_13 Makes sense. Was just thinking that they’ve used the B-2s at night recently to figured they liked the black for that. Guess at 50-60k feet you can’t tell either way lol

Absolute insanity: In just 2 hours, oil prices have now fallen -$10/barrel and risen +$11/barrel, with prices now nearing $90/barrel again. This is unprecedented volatility.

POTUS, in his War Powers Resolution notice to Congress states: "Although the United States desires a quick and enduring peace, it is not possible at this time to know the full scope and duration of military operations that may be necessary." Anyone who says this is only going to last a few weeks is outside of their mind.

@RepThomasMassie A nuclear armed Iran that can close the straight whenever they feel like it puts nobody first, except China

The price of gas has gone up $0.47 and the price of diesel has gone up $0.83 in 10 days due to War with Iran. and waging war costs American taxpayers about $1 billion per day, which comes out to $10 per family per day, or $100 since the war began. This isn’t America First.

Ok things changed in the last few hours, and it’s not looking good for Trump Here's why: - Iran struck the Gulf countries hard tonight. I was not expecting that - The NYT just reported U.S. officials gave a closed door briefing to Congress estimating Iran still retains half its ballistic missile program and even more of its drone capabilities - The Strait of Hormuz is still shut, and if Iran can sustain this for another 3 weeks, the global markets won’t survive (and based on the NYT report, they should easily be able to) - The Iranian regime has not collapsed, and the new leader seems even more radical. Apparently the less radical alternatives the U.S. was eyeing to take power where ‘accidentally’ killed (likely by Israel) - The U.S. burned through 800+ Patriot interceptors in five days at $4 million each, and even before this war started, the Pentagon only had a quarter of the interceptor stockpile it needs to defend all its global commitments The good news? The war may end sooner than what officials are saying. Trump will need an off-ramp soon as energy prices spike, munitions deplete, and the Gulf burns. As I’ve said below, all Iran needs to ‘win’ is to survive long enough for the costs to become unbearable.
Mario Nawfal@MarioNawfal

Iran is losing this war militarily, but winning it strategically. Let me explain. First we need to determine what a win actually looks like. For Trump, he needs Iran to be more friendly to the U.S. so he can have more influence over the most important energy chokepoint in the world: the Strait of Hormuz. In other words, he needs to cut Iran off from China. For Iran to "win," all they need to do is survive. And to survive, Iran needs to force the U.S. to end the war before the regime collapses. There are 2 ways to achieve this: 1. Keep the Strait of Hormuz closed for another 3 weeks. This will severely harm the economies of Asian and European countries, who will then pressure Trump to end the war. 2. Keep causing havoc in the Gulf, forcing those same countries to pressure Trump as well. And Iran will likely be able to achieve both, not through missiles, but through drones. The U.S. and Israel have been able to wipe out the majority of missile launchers through rapid satellite detection. But destroying drone factories, which are very easy to set up in apartments and underground locations, is a much harder problem. So despite America's military might and a very successful campaign, the regime seems to be getting more radicalized, not less. And instead of causing protesters to rise up against the regime, we're seeing a rally around the flag. The Kurdish separatists? Too small to make a difference. Iran's military is massive. Unless something changes, Iran may end up winning this war with the regime still in power. Trump can still declare victory, and rightfully so, given the destruction of Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs. But his core goal, gaining control and influence over the Strait of Hormuz, will have failed.

Again, you can safely unfollow all OSINT accounts here and you won't miss a thing. You can also include most European-based "analysts" to that list, the takes I'm seeing from them are just as bad.

#Breaking: Unfortunately, the #Iranian air defense force has managed to shoot down two American fighter jets over #Kuwait today. We know that one of them is an F-15E Strike Eagle of the U.S. Air Force. The other is claimed to be an F/A-18E or F Super Hornet of the U.S. Navy. Pictures of the three crew members of these aircraft, who ejected safely over Kuwait and have now been rescued, have been published. #IranRevolution #IranRevolution2026 #OperationEpicFury #OperationLionsRoar

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has arrested a former U.S. Air Force pilot, Maj. Gerald Brown, in Jeffersonville, IN for providing training to members of the Chinese Air Force. Former Maj. Brown retired in 1996 following a 24 year career flying multiple platforms. He most recently was a contract simulator instructor for multiple contractors on the A-10 and F-35 platforms before going to China in December 2023 to begin training the Chinese pilots.

While the United States prepares for possibly its largest and most complex conflict since the Invasion of Iraq in 2003, involving the deployment of thousands of Airmen, Sailors, Soldiers, and other Servicemembers from their homes, to locations across Europe and the Middle East, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth spent a day this weekend hanging from trees and doing cold plunges with the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Dr. Mehmet Oz.

@RealPData I agree w/ you on that. But, if you're not going to give the youth lower housing prices, you have to give them SOMETHING. Epstein ❌ Ending aid to Israel ❌ Lower Housing Prices ❌ Going after employers of Illegal Aliens ❌ Youth getting shafted on everything they care about.
