Seems like stage 1 of meeting demands
Or another indication that interceptors are running low, and they are needed in areas of higher priority than Kurdish portions of Iraq

Iran claims it will decide who enters the Strait of Hormuz and impose fees. A U.S. official to the Jerusalem Post: routes will carry no approvals, permissions or charges. "The Strait of Hormuz is an international waterway and no party controls the lanes or the ability to transit through them."

In the run-up to Hiroshima, we were fire-bombing a different Japanese city every night with 300 bombers each carrying 7500 incendiary devices. We were destroying these cities with firestorms and killing as many as 30,000 people per night.
An interesting historical fact:
We had a secret project that attempted to use bats to further carry out the fire bombing. We strapped a backpack full of napalm and a small explosive charge to a bunch of bats with the intention of releasing thousands of them above Japanese cities and towns. The goal was for them to fly to roosting spots in the wood frame and paper structures where the charges would detonate, setting the napalm and structures on fire.
We dubbed it Project X-Ray. The success of the Manhattan Project, and a disastrous (yet successful) test run that blew up/burned a general's new car sent the project to the dustbin of history.

Looks like SA jumping in at the last minute a few days ago to save Iran is really going to work out for them....

A Saudi official told CNN: Saudi Arabia is bracing for “multiple coordinated attacks” by Iraqi militias working with Iran-backed Houthis.
The official expressed alarm, saying that the reports come as Saudi Arabia is encouraging de-escalation, and when negotiations seem to be heading in the right direction.

The vehicles in the video are Iraqi Anti-Terrorism units and they were headed to the green zone in prep for possible anti-government demonstrations/attacks.

Armored tactical vehicles have been spotted moving through Iraq amid growing concerns over a possible attack on Saudi Arabia.
The footage comes as Saudi intelligence warns of coordination between the IRGC, Iraqi militias, the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), and the Houthis to prepare potential attacks against the Kingdom.
The destination and purpose of the convoy remain unclear.

HEAVY U.S. AIR FORCE ACTIVITY ACROSS THE MIDDLE EAST TONIGHT:
The increased activity comes amid reports that Iran-backed militias in Iraq and the Houthis may be preparing attacks against countries in the region.
Multiple U.S. aerial refueling aircraft are currently active—two near Iraq, one over Saudi Arabia, one over the Persian Gulf, with another approaching the Gulf.
A U.S. Air Force E-3G Sentry AWACS surveillance aircraft is also monitoring the region.

"‘Massive attack coming … wait, never mind, they want to negotiate.’ That’s theater diplomacy on loop,” Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran’s parliament speaker and top negotiator, wrote in a post on X on Thursday in an apparent jibe at Trump.
Now Ghalibaf is dunking on Trump. It’s just pathetic at this point.

Finish the job or bring the armed forces home from all over the world and stop playing world police. What is the point of keeping on half assing everything? Why keep American forces in harms way while the politicians are screwing around? There should be no reason Iran has the capabilities to launch attacks at US assets six months later.
Finish the job or go home. There is no in between.

There are three armed guerilla groups opposing the IRGC. With special forces assistance and air power, once the Islamic thugs are attrited they can get the Ghaddafi treatment.

The air power that can't fly over the Iranian skies without getting hit?
The guerrillas that will go against a 4-million man fanatical ground force in a ultra-rugged land with no ability to resupply?

Wanna know the truth? US Pharma companies would choke to death if they couldn’t export US pharmaceuticals to the other 7.7 billion people in the planet.
US weapons manufacturers are in the same boat, gotta export war.
