So… the Iranian IRGC exempts ships carrying Iraqi oil and allows them to sail through the Hormuz Strait, but drone attacks on Iraqi oil fields continue.

@zerohedge My question is where would the ground force enter and where are they going. I know about Kharg and Qeshm Island as possibilities. Perhaps Uranium extraction sites
What are other inland possibilities?

Many pro-Iran accounts are hailing the F-15E shootdown as a historic triumph
It might be, as the only other time an F-15E was shot down was twice in the Gulf war 35 years ago
But it may also be a mechanical failure, or a Golden BB (lucky shot)
It’s too early to come to a conclusion. However my guess from the info we have is that it was shot by a Russian-made S-300 or an Iranian equivalent Bavar-373, but we cannot know for sure yet
That said, such combat losses (the F-15 and the A-10), even significant ones, rarely shifts the momentum in a war of this scale.
Planners on both sides already account for such risks.

@pressnardy @MarioNawfal No one has suggested a full invasion.
Not sure about the rest, I am trying to stage and fund my breakfast and struggling with that.
English
@JimKronlund @MarioNawfal Where will you do the staging and funding. You can't airdrop a full scale invasion into a country with missiles and drones.

I cannot believe the U.S. will send boots on the ground

🚨#BREAKING: White House holding is reportedly having active discussions about others leaving the administration, including FBI Director Kash Patel, Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll, and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer

🇺🇸 Hegseth didn't just fire one general. He fired three...
Gen. Randy George, the Army Chief of Staff. Gen. David Hodne, head of Training and Transformation Command.
And Maj. Gen. William Green Jr., the chief of Army chaplains.
All removed the same day, no explanation given for any of them.
With George gone, Hegseth has now replaced nearly the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Only the Marine Corps and Space Force chiefs remain from when he took office.
His replacement for George is Gen. LaNeve, who served as Hegseth's personal military aide before being fast-tracked into the Army's number two role.
The most revealing detail is buried in the Washington Post's reporting: Hegseth has been clashing with Army Secretary Driscoll, who is close friends with Vance.
"Hegseth can't fire Driscoll, so he's going to make his life hell."

@Bernkastel1995 @DougAMacgregor AI Overview
upset the apple cart" means to spoil plans, disrupt a stable situation, or cause trouble. Originating in the 1700s, implies that a small, careless action can cause a well-organized plan to fall apart, similar to how knocking over a cart causes all the apples to spill

🇮🇷 Gulf states are now seriously looking at building new pipelines to bypass the Strait of Hormuz after the latest crisis. Saudi Arabia’s existing East-West pipeline is suddenly looking like a genius move. Now others want their own versions, to the Red Sea or to Oman’s Fujairah port. It won’t be cheap or easy; we're talking about pipelines that could cost $5 to 20 billion each. But if this war has proven something, it is that the vulnerability of Hormuz has become too dangerous to ignore. The era of putting all your oil eggs in one narrow strait basket might finally be ending. Source: Financial Times, AFP

What’s convenient about this statement is that it can easily be used to justify both
1) mission complete, pack it up, and
2) boots on the ground to finish the job

@SheDrills He came for oil and he will only leave with oil. Everything else are just stepping stones to oil.

At this stage if Trump TACOs, Iran has little incentive to fully reopen the Strait. Keeping traffic restricted, keeps oil prices elevated and allows them to refill their war chest. #OOTT
Alexander Stahel 🌻@BurggrabenH
Getting to “day one” is the real problem. Best case is May but it could easily take months. Most are conflating TACO with a reopening of the Strait. They are not the same. TACO doesn’t reopen anything. Instead, it entrenches Tehran’s veto. TACO is the worst case for markets. Even if flows resume after TACO, this won’t be a switch flip. It will be messy, partial, and conditional — think bilateral carve-outs with “friendly” countries. Russian style. Full normalization likely requires either new pipeline capacity that bypasses Tehran’s tollbooth, or a credible international naval effort (and likely boots on the ground) to finish what Trump started and may yet abandon. A “deal” is entertainment for the masses. Markets are not priced for this.

@MarioNawfal He has waited 30+ years for this moment. I do not think he will just walk away with false claims of regime change and nuclear neutering.
He came for oil and he will leave only with oil.
At any global cost.

Markets are telling us Trump is winding down the war, and his announcement tonight will be an indicator of that
Listen to the markets, they have access to more information than anyone else outside of Trump's inner circle

@staunovo I feel this is by far the most likely scenario. He has waited 30+ years for this moment. He will not just walk away with false claims of regime change and nuclear neutering.
He came for oil and he will leave only with oil.
