The US is striking deeper into Iran and General Caine says Iran is NOT more formidable than they thought.

People keep talking about how Iran wins by simply surviving. This is ridiculous logic. Hamas still exists, Al Qaeda still exists…you don’t win by simply existing.
When this war is over, Irans military will be crushed and infrastructure destroyed with hundreds of billions of dollars worth of reconstruction costs and no way to pay for it. The Iranian regime will be weaker than it’s ever been and ripe to be overthrown even if that’s a few years down the line.
Survival is not winning

I expect US security partnerships with Gulf nations to be even closer after this war is over. Iranian attacks on Gulf nations are having the opposite effect than they intended

Primary objectives of this campaign. Regime change is NOT the primary goal. Yes, President Trump would like that to happen but we’ve made clear that’s contingent on the Iranian people.

The whole purpose of destroying Navy was to ensure that Iran should not be able to effectively close strait hurmoz
But given the asymmetric methods on table for IRGC, they have still choked the SoH.
In that sense, US clearly failed to achieve its objective

We're only 10 days in conflict the operation is not over it will likely not be over for 2-3 weeks however so far the US a checked off almost all objectives/goals. Air war in Serbia lasted 78 days we're 10 days in Epic Fury and Iran being a bigger country it's military capabilities have been decimated. In 10 days US was able to degrade Iran's ballistic missile strike capabilities over 90% from day 1. Ten days.... and all this damage has been done to Iran's military what will Iran look like in another 10 days?

To MS Sandhu's point, as long as there is one missile available and the means to launch it, the Straits of Hormuz remain vulnerable.
Look how long the English Channel remained vulnerable during WWII. The same principle applies here.

So, this makes 11 x B-1Bs being hosted in the UK. and 3x B52s. This deployment accounts for 25% of the total B-1B fleet.

I could be wrong. Half the B-2 fleet is now overseas as well.
