Trump says he bombed Iran

Wanna bet how long the straight is closed?

This will not be a protracted event.

IAF expects air superiority by tomorrow

I guess it depends on what the dominant strategy and overarching goal is

So far, this appears to be a managed conflict geared toward the purpose of geopolitical restructuring

The Houthis are not near the Strait of Hormuz, they are on the Red Sea.

Google AI Assist says the Houthis are now not only causing problems in the Red Sea
but have expanded their operations to include the Strait of Hormuz.

Yeah .. doesn't surprise me that the Muslim gulf states might lift restrictions on AMericans launching from their countries.   Those gulf state Muslim nations like the money flowing in from being financial partners with the USA.   Iran only gives them headaches.   Their 'muslim brotherhood' doesn't fly anymore.   Trumps 'make commerce, not chaos' is kicking in.  (that was his theme for his trip to the gulf states a while back)

The ninnies in France should take notice.
They are on the wrong side of history on this one.
Even the Muslim nations 'reserve the right to respond' to being attacked by Iran

Muslim Nations Turn on Iran

Arab nations are sounding off against Iran after the regime launched strikes against U.S. interests in neighboring countries in the region in retaliation for U.S.-Israeli joint strikes against Iran’s leaders.

 Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates were among the Gulf states that condemned the Iranian strikes, with many saying they reserve the right to defend themselves and respond accordingly to attacks on their sovereign territories.

 
Qatar’s Foreign Ministry said it reserves its "full right" to defend itself after what it described as Iranian aggression targeting Qatari territory. Its Defense Ministry said it "successfully thwarted a number of attacks targeting the country’s territory" after multiple rounds of alerts sounded. Authorities reported no immediate injuries or damage in residential areas.

Watching The Al Jazeera live story. And its sort of a tell what that Qatar funded newspaper is choosing as headlines.


Qatar adopts remote work for all government workers

Kuwait summons Iranian ambassador after drone attack on airport

Benjamin Netanyahu claims Khamenei’s compound has been destroyed

Trump spoke to leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE and NATO chief: White House.

This is going to be the apex of passive-aggression from Gulf States. Now they have to tread the line of wanting to not look TOO permissive to Great and Little Satan, while also not really opposing a changing of the guard in Iran, because its just good for business... 

And all the benefits they'll get if they are permissive of it.

All we needed was a president as obsessed with projecting his wealth and making money as all the oil sheikhs to know what they need to hear to get them to look away and shoot down drones for sovereignty reasons. 

I wonder how many 787s equals one Khamenei killed by airstrike?

Make Capitalist Investments, Not Jihad!
