re: Official US/Israel vs Iran war thread

Our response should be based on the intent, not whether our destroyers were able to shoot down their cruise missiles. Reportedly they were, which is hardly surprising considering that we're talking about Aegis destroyers here.

Reports of a blast now in western Tehran.
This follows confirmed explosions on Qeshm Island, Bandar Abbas, and Sirik in the Strait of Hormuz area over the last hour. Air defense activity was reported in western Tehran earlier. If strikes have now reached the capital, this is a significant expansion beyond the Strait. OR could be internal protest sabotage activities
Meanwhile, IRIB state television broadcast the following statement twice, reading from what appeared to be a prepared military intelligence text (23:26 Tehran time):
"A few minutes ago, some news reports indicated that an explosion was heard near Qeshm. Following this news, a military official announced that the US military had attacked a single Iranian tanker. The enemy units attacked and declared that they came under missile fire in the Strait of Hormuz area and were forced to flee after suffering damage."
The anchor repeated this nearly verbatim moments later. When state TV reads the same claim twice word for word, it is a scripted message from military intelligence, not a news report.
The tanker referenced is the M/T Hasna, disabled yesterday by 20mm cannon fire from an F/A-18 off the USS Abraham Lincoln. Iran is framing tonight as direct retaliation for blockade enforcement.

UNDER ATTACK
First footage is reportedly coming out of Iran showing the skies over Tehran.
Iranian media and online sources are circulating reports of air-defense activity over the capital, but the full picture is still unclear.
What we know right now:
The skies over Tehran appear active.
Iranian officials are issuing warnings.
The region is waiting to see whether this is another limited exchange, or the beginning of something much bigger.

Posting the full text for you.

A senior US official tells me that it was a US military strike on Iran’s Qeshm port and Bandar Abbas moments ago but added this is NOT a restarting of the war or end to the ceasefire.
The strike on one of Iran’s oil ports comes two days after Iran fired 15 ballistic and cruise missiles at UAE Fujairah Port, eliciting anger from Gulf countries after top Pentagon leaders said Tuesday that the Iranian strikes did not rise to the level of breaking the ceasefire, calling it low level attacks that didn’t rise to that level.
President Trump abruptly called off Project Freedom to open the Strait of Hormuz and guide ships through the strait after announcing the start of the military operation on Sunday.
A senior US official confirms to me the @wsj_com reporting from today that the Saudis and Kuwaitis abruptly halted permission for the US to use its bases and air space for Project Freedom, a decision that this official said has been reversed. Saudi officials reportedly were angry at the Pentagon downplaying the Iranian strikes on Monday.

IRAN ARMY SPOX FULL; The aggressive, terrorist, and pirate U.S. military violated the ceasefire by targeting an Iranian oil tanker traveling from Iran’s coastal waters near Jask toward the Strait of Hormuz, as well as another vessel entering the Strait of Hormuz near the Emirati port of Fujairah. At the same time, with the cooperation of some regional countries, they carried out air attacks on civilian areas along the coasts of Bandar Khamir, Sirik, and Qeshm Island. The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran immediately responded by attacking U.S. military vessels east of the Strait of Hormuz and south of the port of Chabahar, reportedly inflicting significant damage on them.

This won’t end without a full Iranian Regime change.

Iran better hope none of our ships were hit.
They’ll regret shooting at them directly.

They are twisting themselves into knots to make sure Epic Fury is "over" and that the ceasefire is still on
Makes me wonder if all the dismissive talk aside, the War Powers Act and 60 day clock is more of an impediment than they want to admit

Info from NY Times on the current Iranian position:
Three senior Iranian officials say Tehran and the United States are discussing a one-page plan for both sides to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end hostilities for 30 days while they try to reach a comprehensive deal.
The talks over a short-term agreement are continuing, the officials said, with negotiators trading proposals over how to describe the framework for a potential permanent deal.
The three Iranian officials, who are close to the negotiations and spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomacy, said a key obstacle was the U.S. demand for commitments in advance on the fate of Iran’s nuclear program and its stockpile of highly enriched uranium.
They said American negotiators continue to insist that Iran agree in principle to hand over the stockpile to the United States, close three nuclear facilities and suspend enrichment for 20 years. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the negotiations, but the position described by the Iranians was in line with what Americans described as the U.S. position in recent weeks.
Iran has proposed instead that some of the uranium be diluted and the rest be transferred to a third country, possibly Russia, and that enrichment be suspended for 10 to 15 years, with no mention of the three facilities, the officials said.
The high-level plan has three immediately actionable points: the lifting of the U.S. blockade on Iranian ships and ports, the opening of the strait to commercial traffic, and an end to the fighting.
The major points of conflict that have so far stymied negotiations would be left to be sort out in the next 30 days. Those include, crucially, the future of Iran’s nuclear program, sanctions relief for the country and the release of Iranian funds frozen overseas.
The three Iranian officials said Tehran would agree to never seek a nuclear weapon and would agree to suspend enrichment of uranium, but the details, including the duration of that pause, are unresolved.

Dilute half and give the other half to Russia? Give me a break. It's a waste of time talking with these people in their current state of mind.
