The Wall Street Journal reports that President Donald J. Trump is weighing whether to resume major combat operations against Iran following Tuesday's missile attack on U.S. forces, with CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper presenting an option for 10–14 days of intensive airstrikes aimed at crippling Iran's remaining missile capabilities.

According to the Journal, Cooper argues a larger offensive would reduce Iran's ability to launch future attacks and lessen the long-term demand for U.S. air defense interceptors. By contrast, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine has warned that dwindling interceptor stockpiles increase the risks of a renewed campaign, though they would not prevent one.

It appears we are doing the same thing we have been for the last few weeks; Bombing the same targets again on the coast.

The IRGC is laughing their asses off at us, knowing they can launch a BM or drone swarm from anywhere in Iran and Trump will keep having us bomb the coast, wasting more munitions and money. Until he gets serious about taking on the leadership head-on this crap will never end.

Trump is getting played badly, unfortunately. The real risk now is that unless he decides to resume major combat operations, we will certainly be stuck in a stalemate with the added risk that Iran will now officially control the Strait through fear of attack. Victory will not be achieved by wasting munitions on the same coastal targets.

I don't know where hog went, but thanks for keeping the updates. I check regularly, just don't post as much!

Still believe this only ends in a prolonged civil war, eventually.

Cooper apparently said we'd reached max impact with the coastal strikes. I can't imagine the economic fallout that is occuring that isn't reported. In Iran.

I mean. There has to be something there worth hitting. If the weapon shortage that people have been sky screaming about is real in any way they wouldn't be wasting drops at this point.

Cooper wants to start an intense 2 week or more campaign to remove the rest of the Iran's missiles and severely degrade their ability to do what they have been doing.

Trump wants to bomb some sand on the coast and call it quits before the markets open. Only one of those options is a realistic tactic and way to fighting a conflict...

What a fuggin quagmire. This military strategy has been embarrassing from the get go. We’re too scared of our own shadow because of Iraq/Afghanisfan.

We should pull out and let Iran charge the tolls on ships at this point. Let everyone see how high gas prices will remain when every tanker that passes through that strait gets a charge slapped on it indefinitely. Try to mess with the expansion of Iran’s regional influence and they'll shut the strait down completely and gas will really climb. Maybe an administration will eventually come along and do what needs to be done to Iran. It isn’t happening with this one before the midterms.

Yea man. I said the following two months ago. It was not well received. But I think people are slowly starting to wake up to how far we’ve stuck our dick into this Iranian penis trap.

Anything short of regime change is a waste of resources, and regime change in Iran will kill thousands of American soldiers.

Just declare victory and walk away. His supporters will cheer and say something about a nuclear program blown back to the Stone Age. His detractors will remain speechless at another failure and erosion of the American world order. So . . . declare total victory and walk away. Qatar can figure out how to get its gas out on its own. Not our problem. Iraq, Saudi, Kuwait and UAE meanwhile will all be pivoted to pan arabian pipelines soon enough that bypass shipping lanes.

The CENTCOM X account is starting to sound like Baghdad Bob is behind it. How was bombing a coastal site of two a “powerful response” to Iran’s surprise ballistic missile launch?

What a fricking joke; "We are going to beat the shite out of Iran."

Bombed the same fricking sites again, just went a little heavier than normal. Trump is a fricking joke. The IRGC will continue to cross him at every opportunity as he has shown them he will DO NOTHING of merit to bring them to heel. If the Iranian people are looking for help, Donald ain't it. He will leave them in a worse position than they were before.

TAMPA, Fla. — At 10 p.m. ET on July 29, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces successfully completed a heavy wave of strikes against Iran in response to yesterday's attempted missile attacks on U.S. forces.
CENTCOM assets struck dozens of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets in Iran, including military command centers, missile and drone facilities, coastal surveillance and defense sites, and maritime capabilities. The strikes aimed to further diminish threats posed by Iran and its proxies to American forces, commercial shipping, and neighboring Gulf countries.

On July 28, IRGC forces launched multiple ballistic missiles from Iran in an attempted surprise attack on U.S. forces based in the Middle East. All Iranian missiles were successfully intercepted.

More than 50,000 U.S. service members are currently deployed to the Middle East and remain highly vigilant, focused, lethal, and ready.

Just give the uprising access to Ukrainian attack drones and the IRGC will be eliminated step by step.
