Each patient evacuation vehicle can transport 12-16 patients plus more on the medical ambulance bus for at least 36 patients which could explain the length of time on ground.

A C-17 (RCH869) took off from the Middle East, with a stopover in Germany, and landed earlier this evening at Joint Base Andrews. About two hours later, a convoy of three specially equipped medical ambulances, called Patient Evacuation Vehicles, along with an ambulance bus, departed with a large police escort, taking the Beltway to Walter Reed Hospital in Bethesda. Though unconfirmed, these likely are some of the first injured soldiers from the US attack on Iran being brought back to the United States for medical treatment.

Ok, so first it was none or it was sold and is all sitting in tankers floating in the ocean for the past months because they just like to do that and hate money. Now you've evolved to "they sold some, but not all". Literally doesn't matter how much is still on the water/unsold. They've SOLD $4.5 billion and since we suspended sanctions, get to keep every penny of it without having to jump through hoops.

@TheIntelFrog @TankerTrackers Google estimates there is 60m barrels unsold still on the water. So yes some was sold but most wasn't.

The US Treasury and Secretary Bessent can't do anything about it. The US waived ALL sanctions on Iranian oil since shortly after the MoU was signed until the 10th of July. The waiver did not include any provisions relating to the funds of the sales. This made Iran selling their oil just as legal as anything on the shelf at your local Walmart. The only restriction included in the waiver were no sales to North Korea, Cuba and Russian occupied Ukraine.
David Holliday@HollidayDB

@TheIntelFrog Do you really think Secretary Bessent and the U.S. Treasury Department are going to let them see a dime of that money?

This is an attitude that’s been pervasive for decades: If you don’t have a CIB/CAR, your opinion and service mean shit when compared to a veteran with one. Don’t get it twisted. ALL a CIB/CAR means is you took and returned fire. Thats it. It’s the same award whether you sent 3,000 rounds down range screaming “die motherfucker die” or 1 round before collapsing and crying for your mom. Both will get the same award. I’ve served with plenty of folks who were actually recognized for service under fire and they don’t go around showing their bronze or silver stars as a “credential” verifying their national security prowess. The CIB/CAR flex is used by troops who have accomplished nothing else except existing and getting promoted on time.

@TheIntelFrog My first unit had to mail my CAB to me at the academy because it didn't exist when I earned it. Meanwhile staff officers from the CJSOTF would fly out to our firebase in Zormat and leave 2 days later with paperwork sufficient to get their CIBs because we got a BS indirect attack.

Absolutely. A unit I deployed with got into a small skirmish. A vic drove to within 100 yards of an ECP and opened fire on the personnel manning it. Those personnel returned fire forcing the attacker to flee, yet their leadership deemed it an isolated/non combat incident and no one got anything. Then there are examples of everyone on a whole damn FOB getting one for someone taking pot shots at them. It's literally an award that you got for showing up, and you think it means shit? Sorry, but no. That's a participation trophy.

@TheIntelFrog Lol. We had people who shot into the dirt after other VEHICLES got hit with IEDs, get CARs because their Lts were "Looking out" for them. Also had people not submitted for one because their combat wasn't what "Leadership defined as combat." CARs or lack thereof don't mean shit.

I was a Marine, so the requirements for a CAR vs a CIB are slightly different, but I've seen people get the CAR when they the majority of the firefight with their faces in the dirt yet they receive the same 'award' as someone those who repelled the attack. And repelling an attack does not mean you are now the authority on all matters relating to the military.

@TheIntelFrog @TankerTrackers Usa can seize a tanker anytime it wants anywhere in the world. Its called a blue water navy. A navy ship is within a few hundred miles of everything in the world.

Visible commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains exceptionally light. Fewer than five vessels completed the transit over the past 24 hours, with all using the Iranian traffic separation scheme. At least one U.S.-protected convoy transited with AIS transponders turned off, yet still came under attack, leaving one mariner dead and several others injured. While officials have repeatedly stated the Strait is open, open does not necessarily mean normal. Even at the peak of the ceasefire, visible traffic appeared to recover to less than 25% of pre-conflict levels, and activity has declined further amid the latest escalation. A normal 24 hour period in the Strait sees 130+ vessel transits.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump just posted: Oil is flowing thanks to U.S. military power. Full blockade on Iranian ships and cargo stays in place. The 20% fee is replaced with massive trade and investment deals for Gulf states that will bring factories, plants, and high-paying American jobs home. “Iran will NEVER have a nuclear weapon!” Maximum pressure is back on. The Strait is open to everyone except Iran. Game over for Tehran’s nuclear dreams. Writer: Oliver

I'm not implying anything. I'm directly saying that our agreement gave them access to $4.51 billion that they ordinarily would've had to jumped through hoops to evade the sanctions, money which will directly be used to reconstitute their weapons program. And we have nothing to show for it. 14 dead, 414 wounded. Billions of $ in damage to facilities and assets across the region. Iran is exerting control over the Strait they've never exerted before. They've been given opportunities since last year, and blew them every time. It's a pipe dream to believe that this, or the next, negotiations were going to be any different. The Iranian positions have been consistent the whole time while the US positions keep evolving. Their ability to project power over the Strait should've been obliterated the first time they exercised that power. Instead we formalized their power over the region with the MoU. No one can objectively say that we have met ANY of our stated objectives or defeated them.

You’re right that I missed that $4.51 billion got through. Your post implies it was a blunder on the part of the United States. I don’t agree. I think it was a calculated risk. One that will have little impact on the war going forward. I think you’re missing the bigger point. They were given an opportunity. They blew it. Not unexpectedly. Trump reportedly said it was a trap. Only in the sense of the regime being Coyote and the United States being Roadrunner. They aren’t smart. They are extremist. They are predicable. The United States needed to demonstrate to the World they were choosing sophistry over honesty. That they really weren’t interested in peace. The regime was happy to oblige. Now the United States has taken the gloves off. The regime has no credibility. The Gulf State nations are joining the fight. $4.51 billion seems like a small investment to demonstrate unequivocally that the regime never wanted peace. Never intended to honor its commitments. Is never going to give up its objective to acquire nuclear weapons.

@Jackerofmeat No, it isn't. The tankers left the day the blockade ended and have continued to flow since. They actually never stopped even @TankerTrackers spotted several hugging the Iranian, Pakistani and Indian coasts to evade the blockade.

@ChiTownGrowz It has been revoked, effective in 3 days, but that doesn't change the fact that all sanctions were waived for a month and contained no provision to control the proceeds of sales.

@TheIntelFrog I do not believe that to be correct. The waiver can be revoked at any time under IEEPA. It was not a treaty and is discretionary whether it had specific wording or not.

LOL... All you have to do is follow the ever changing goal posts and rhetoric coming out of this administration and evaluate it against what has actually happened: -14 US troops KIA, 414 WIA -Iran has some level of control over the Strait -Iran has been given access to billions in $ that they didn't have before to open the Strait and they said fuck you We've gone from the "Strait is open" to "you better open it or we'll obliterate you" to "here's a few billion so pretty please open it now" to "we're the guardians of the waterway." Net effect: Hundreds of US personnel killed and wounded and Iran has more regional power now than ever before. So. Much. Winning.

None of this was a problem in mid-February. Their whole nuclear program was destroyed just a few months earlier, and Trump has since confirmed it's buried so deep that only the US and China can access it. So this whole 'excursion' that's killed 14 and wounded hundreds was pointless.

How about: July 2025: We set their nuclear program back years, if not decades (during midnight hammer) Feb 2026: Iran is weeks away from a nuclear weapon June 2026: The nuclear dust was buried so deep that only the USA or China could get to it (Trump, echoing Regime narrative).

Soooooooo many examples over the last few months, especially regarding the strait: Strait is fully open for business>We don't need it so if you want it open, do it yourselves>If you don't open the Strait in 48 hours we'll bomb your power plants and bridges until you're in the stone age>We're finally talking to some really good people so I called off stone age day>A peace deal is right around the corner (every week for 8+ weeks)>We have a peace deal, it's wide open for business>They're a bunch of terrorists who can't be trusted>We'll be the guardians of the Strait!
