Iran seems to be following a strategy of unveiling more and more impressive military capabilities as the war goes on. They just fired long-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, one of the most strategically significant U.S. military bases in the world (hosting B-52 bombers, nuclear subs, etc.), nearly 5,000km away from them in the middle of the Indian ocean 👇. Diego Garcia has never been hit before in any war in its 5 decades of existence, and no-one knew Iran had these types of capabilities (Iran themselves said their ballistic missile range was limited to 2,000 kilometers). Two days ago, they also took down an "unkillable" F-35 fifth-generation fighter jet, something which has never happened before (militarywatchmagazine.com/article/footag…). They've also managed to take control of the world's most strategic oil chokepoint, and have proven they can hit any strategic target in the wider Middle-East, even the most protected ones (such as Israel's Haifa oil refinery: aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/19…). All in all, it sounds almost unbelievable but Iran appears to have a genuine form of escalation dominance over the United States military, with its trillion dollar budget. In a very real way, it's even more impressive than Vietnam or Afghanistan: those countries resisted a superpower, Iran appears to be competing with one. It also makes you think: what comes next? And that's exactly what escalation dominance is all about: keep raising the stakes until the other side blinks. It's about making Trump think "wait, I thought I was picking a fight with the skinny kid and turns out he's Bruce Lee."

It’s like having a neighbor that is building a giant bomb in their house, and constantly shooting their gun at your house, so you go to their house and take away their guns, lock him up, until you realize there’s like 10 people living there. So then you call your friendly neighbors and ask for some help and they all say “eh, it’s ok, appreciate you though”, so you say fuck it and leave. And then you move to a nicer neighborhood cause you’re richer than the rest of them.

It’s like borrowing someone else’s house for a party, wreck it, and then leave saying: “y’all go clean this place up, it’s a mess.”

BREAKING: Trump on Iran: "We are getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great Military efforts [...] The Hormuz Strait will have to be guarded and policed, as necessary, by other Nations who use it — The United States does not!"

Nobody is better than big T. Keeps everyone off balance. Keeps every option open. Could pull out, continue bombing, take kharg, put troops to take the strait, leave it for others to deal with. Master of chaos and maintaining leverage at all times with everyone.

You can't control a narrative when the whole world is paying attention. Wars force attention. The longer the world talks about Iran, the harder it becomes to ignore who armed them and why. The public is now becoming aware that the Chinese have backed, funded, and armed a regime that was ramping up ballistic missile production, stockpiling enough enriched uranium for ~10 nuclear bombs, murdered thousands of protesters two months ago, and will attack neighboring Gulf states to try and gain leverage. Every leader watching this is doing the same math as their constituents: dependence on Chinese-backed regimes and hostile chokepoints is a liability. That's the long-term impact here. Even if the Strait opens tomorrow, the lesson has been delivered in a way that no policy, trade summit, or diplomacy ever could.

@ianbremmer @mdubowitz Agreed. This is all intentional public posturing. So is the recent Politico report re: Russia's intelligence-sharing offer to the US. Goal: Change EU/NATO calculus to force their hand. It'll be interesting to watch this play out.

@ItsTheEnforcer Can you provide your analysis on why you think NATO isn't a paper tiger without the United States?

Im not sure who the President thinks is going to believe this statement… - The war in Iran hasn’t been “won” - NATO isn’t a “paper tiger” - Reopening Hormuz isn’t “simple” He’s basically angry that Europe won’t blindly sacrifice their ships on our behalf…

If it's such a 'simple military maneuver' to clear the Strait of Hormuz, and NATO is just a paper tiger without the US, then why can't our military clear it on their own? I'm going to say my catchphrase again. You all know it was coming. Trump has no idea what he's doing.

I get so lost and have no idea what to believe anymore. Everyone says irans launches are down every day and they’re weaker and weaker but this guy is in Israel saying otherwise. What’s the real story?
Shaiel Ben-Ephraim@academic_la

Israel has been pummeled all night. Based on my counts of alerts and reports of landings from open sources the number increased tonight, though there are no reports of casualties. My Whatsapp groups are filled with people having breakdowns after not sleeping for two weeks. In Jerusalem 4 alerts were heard in a 90 minute span. Iran has been able to increase the number of launches daily. Everyone seems angry at the IDF and Netanyahu for lying about the destruction of Iranian capabilities.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent just revealed the Iranian regime is FLOODING MONEY out of the country "The regime will probably COLLAPSE within itself!" "We are seeing the defections at ALL levels. They sense what's going on...we seen where they wired their money out. We're coming for that, and will get it BACK to the Iranian people!" LFG 🔥

.@SecScottBessent: In the coming days, we may unsanction the Iranian oil that's on the water. It's about 140 million barrels, so depending how you count it, that's 10 days to 2 weeks of supply, that the Iranians had been pushing out, that would have all gone to China. In essence, we'd be using the Iranian barrels against the Iranians to keep the price down for the next 10 or 14 days, as we continue this campaign. So, we have lots of levers.

Making the impossible possible After reading so-many analyses that regime change in Iran was impossible, it seems as though the impossible is looking more and more possible. Some of the coverage is even turning as the WSJ story on the elimination of Ali Larijari documented how the leadership of Iran is being reduced to on all fronts and the security apparatus is beginning to wear thin and is systematically being frightened. And it’s pretty clear the US is preparing to take Kharg island once all the forces needed are in place to apply next level of pressure against Iran, which is alienating all of the other Arab countries with attacks on their hotels and airports. All this support from Dems for not taking out Iran remains puzzling given this regime was amassing thousands of ballistic missiles on top of its nuclear program and machine gunned its own people by the bushel to put down protest. And while the US is targeting military assets, Iran is sending outlawed cluster missiles right at heavily populated civilian areas of major cities. The US military is at the top of its game carrying out massive operations with minimal losses. More and more the survival of this regime is coming under question as their leadership, military assets and secret police are all facing real-time destruction that cannot be sustained.

@ReubenR80027912 @SaysSimulation Absolutely correct. Qatar is now officially all in with the US, and the security umbrella has been extended. No more hedging from Qatar. (China/US)

@SaysSimulation Nah. Israel obviously got the green light & Qatar went “ballistic” when their fields got it in response. This is Trump doing good cop while Israel does bad cop Trump also laid out a red line (who knows how bright tho lol) about not hitting Qatar again

The United States produces nearly 22 million barrels of oil per day. More than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined. 22% of total world production from one country. America consumes 20 million and produces 22 million... a net exporter. China consumes 15 million and produces 5... a 10 million barrel per day deficit that has to come from somewhere. Now add Venezuela... 303 billion barrels of proved reserves, the largest on earth, and Trump took operational control. The Jones Act is waived. The tanker fleet is unlocked. China is rationing. America is exporting.
