It probably is a good deal more secular than the IRGC, as membership in the IRGC can act as a self-selection mechanism.

I had this thought today.

What the world witnessed between the U.S. and Israel against Iran was one of the largest coordinated air campaigns ever launched against a single nation-state by two allied powers. Few operations, if any, in the modern era compare.

In the first 72 hours alone, over 1,700 targets were struck. By day seven, the U.S. had hit more than 3,000. By day ten, 5,000. The final U.S. tally: over 13,000 targets. More than 2,000 command and control sites. 1,500 air defense positions. 450 ballistic missile targets. 600 naval targets.
Israel matched that tempo on its own terms.

In 18 days, the Israeli Air Force flew what it normally flies in a full year. More than 12,000 munitions dropped. 8,500 strikes across Iran. 5,700 combat sorties in the Iranian theater alone. 7,000 targets struck across all fronts of operation.

Before Iran could respond meaningfully, Israel had destroyed 80 to 85 percent of Iran’s air defense architecture. Radars. Interceptors. Detection systems. Gone.
Iran was producing roughly 100 ballistic missiles per month before the war. That capacity is now close to zero.

The first 24 hours were double the firepower of the opening of the 2003 Iraq War.

Desert Storm opened with 150 targets. Epic Fury opened with 1,700.

The most sustained joint air campaign of the 21st century. By two countries.

That’s probably a half day of fraud for California.

So one more day before we start blasting away again. Did anyone really think there would be a deal made?

Only one more day?

Hard to keep up with all the changing timelines.

I don't know about the outcome of the talks. My initial reaction was that the ceasefire was bad, but that first instinct ended up being wrong.

The ceasefire ended up being a good idea, as we have been able to open the Strait while the talks have been happening. Iran didn't dare sabotage the talks by firing on our ships, and they won't fire on merchant ships and oil tankers during the talks, either. All of Iran's talk about charging tolls to pass through? They suddenly look silly.

Tomorrow, a lot of ships are going to pass through the Strait. That's a good thing.

I do not think a deal is possible just yet and not likely does admin.

Using this time to reload, rest and repair as well as gather more intel.

And maybe, because I do not truly know, reset the 60 day conflict clock?
