I don’t think their military is so crippled by these strikes and they have been preparing for a semi-asymmetrical war against the US for decades at this point. I don’t worry about Iranian military strength. They can turtle up become a YemenX1000, throttling the Persian Gulf completely and there’s not much Israel and the US together can do to stop it short of the use of nuclear weapons. I worry more about Iran politically, they might be weaker than we think.
Very interesting series of events. Elements of Trump administration try to wriggle out of Israeli grip, rifts start to show. Elon Musk teases Epstein reveal on Trump. Trump seems to back attack on Iran. Elon apologizes for his tweets.
Let’s revisit the ‘tail wagging the dog’ debate in a few months. I have a feeling one side is going to have some egg on their face.
Drone warfare is only going to get worse. This is like cannons in the 1300’s or tanks in WWI. The technology is here, it’s effective, but it has yet to be refined and its true importance hasn’t been fully embraced. It won’t be long before we have swarms of fully autonomous death machines controlled by AI.
They have hit targets in Iraq IIRC
