Iran Super Thread- Merged

[brihard]

Notice the difference in tone between CENTCOM and "proportional response" and Pete Hegseth's bravado of "maximum violence" and "kicking them when they are down."

CENTCOM and POTUS have both been very restrained in their characterizations of this one. I think some hard work is being put into brinksmanship-management (brinksmanagement?)

Meanwhile, Israel has continued strikes in southern Lebanon today…

Israel was onboard until Iran's proxies weren't...

If Iran can't control their proxies, maybe they shouldn't make peace with their proxies a condition of ending the fight.

I don’t think the tit for tat exchanges are over.

Iran was more like 1 for Russia 9 for the bunkers. I suspect US National intelligence was focused on the ballistic missiles and payloads.

They've been supplying Russia and whole Triple H alliance with arms and Iranian manufactured missiles, rockets and drones. Surely, somebody in the USIC could back calculate a ROME of their industrial output on this stuff. If they can't, this would actually a substantial USIC Intelligence failure.

I am just wondering why Iran won't hold out till $150 oil?
