🇮🇷 Iran announces that ships carrying essential goods and humanitarian aid are now permitted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz en route to Iran and the Sea of Oman. Source: Tasnim News







🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 For weeks, Trump and Netanyahu have been bragging about how they have "complete dominance" over Iran's airspace and have destroyed much of its weapons arsenal. Yesterday, Iran shot down a U.S. F-15E, with one crew member still missing, and an A-10 crashed near the Strait of Hormuz. Many are rightly saying, this is not what “complete dominance” looks like. Add in reports that half of Iran's missile and drone stockpile remains intact after 5 weeks of bombing them, and something doesn't add up. That's why the pushback is growing, not just from the media, but from intelligence assessments that are much less triumphant than the political messaging. Blowing up runways, radars, and command centers is not the same thing as erasing mobile launchers, tunnels, shoulder-fired missiles, or Iran’s ability to improvise pain. And that's the part the cheerleaders keep skipping. If your enemy can still shoot down aircraft, still threaten rescue helicopters, still squeeze the Strait of Hormuz, and still launch missiles and drones across the region, then your problem is not solved; it's evolving. And the ugly truth here is that Iran may be bloodied, degraded, and under enormous pressure, but it's not helpless. Not even close. Analysts say mobile threats such as MANPADS and dispersed launch systems are exactly why “we own the skies” can turn into wreckage on the ground. Once leaders start believing their own press releases, every warning sounds disloyal, every intelligence estimate sounds pessimistic, and every setback becomes someone else’s spin problem. If Iran can still fire, still threaten shipping, still retain a meaningful missile and drone arsenal, and still knock American aircraft out of the sky, then talk of total dominance is political theater. And theater gets people killed.
