There's no way that's not us or Israel. There's no one else capable of dropping ordinance like that without being detected.

At this point I am all for targeting all irgc military sites after Iran attacking shipping in the strait.

If I was president I wouldn’t let them ever get a toll from that either. I’d be hitting them hard, and at this point, that’s their own fault

Honestly, I am all full ground troops at this point. We need to have our military take over the strait and occupy it so that this doesn’t keep happening.

Guess you’ve never heard of drones and missiles that can come from outside the strait area?

Or that they could hit ships anywhere in the Persian Gulf?

The only way this stops is regime change. How that is done is up for debate.

Qatar using it's "investments" to hinder Israel's ability to produce Iron Dome parts for their air defense systems.

Qatar's sovereign wealth fund is vetoing a deal between Volkswagen and Israel's Rafael to produce Iron Dome components, per Bild. As VW's third-largest shareholder, the fund is blocking the agreement. The Wolfsburg plant now faces possible closure, with hundreds of workers at risk of layoffs.

Yesterday's strikes on Iran were carried out by Kuwait and Bahrain.

As of Febuary, Qatar's investment fund owned 10% of Volkswagen equity and 17% of voting rights. The Porsche-Piech families held 53% of voting rights, via Porsche Automobil Holdings. The state of lower Saxony held 20% of voting rights and, by law, has veto power over mergers, capital increases, and structural investments.

In other words, if the VW deal with Israel is blocked that decision may have occurred at a state level, but almost certainly not the state of Qatar.

We tried that already. I think it was called Operation Freedom, or something like that. It worked great for one day, then we called it off. The explanation was that it was way too expensive.

Correct. And we should not have anymore ceasefires. Keep striking any targets that are found. Tell the Iranians there will be no negotiations, that the only thing we will accept is unconditional surrender.

It was how we dealt with Germany and Japan. That is the only solution.

The U.S. and Gulf states reportedly want to avoid turning the confrontation with Iran into an Israeli-Iranian war, fearing it could hurt legitimacy and widen the conflict. Israel, for now, prefers to let Washington lead and benefit from U.S. pressure without paying the price directly


How convenient. New France.

BREAKING: The USS George H.W. Bush is reentering the Gulf of Oman, now inside Iran's missile range and at the shortest distance ever reported from Iran's coast of just 170 km, escorted by two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, per today's Sentinel-2 satellite imagery.

This comes just hours after the USS Abraham Lincoln reentered the Gulf of Oman, with both carriers now positioned as the US appears to be preparing for the imminent reimposition of the naval blockade on Iran.

AXSMarine AIS-derived data currently detects 689 merchant vessels west of the Strait of Hormuz, inside the Persian / Arabian Gulf, down from 1,061 vessels in early March.

This is the first time since the start of the conflict that the tracked fleet inside the Gulf has fallen below 700 vessels, representing a decline of 372 vessels, or around 35%, from the early March count.

This news is a bit of a mixed bag. Good considering the number of “trapped” vessels has declined to below the start of war. Bad when considering that number is usually in the 1,000 range at any given time when vessels weren’t considered “trapped” and is more indicative of the avoidance of the area which remains.

Also shows the struggle that’s been faced considering after all this time the number has only been reduced by 35%. There’s likely a number within that figure that are more of a support type or regional vessel just fine with only operating west of the strait but not a hugely significant one.

Iran is likely trying to rebuild its nuclear program, based on satellite imagery obtained by CNN.

Activity has taken place at the Parchin military complex (Taleghan 2) and the Pickaxe Mountain site in June and July.

Any resumption of Iran's nuclear program would be a violation of the MOU.
