Trump literally admits while bragging - the reason US carriers are so far out and possibly USS Gerald Ford did end up getting hit to some degree.

Nobody briefed him on OpSec.

Keep in mind I think the statistic is something where 51% of US troops are white. The rest are black, Hispanic, Asian, and other minorities.

Thus the stomach for casualties by the U.S. is likely much higher since the deaths will likely be the poor and minority class of America.

not possible technically, and politically Saudi will prefer their GCC cousins a little poorer.

Which they are getting anyway due to this but what is the technical barrier - I can see it as a throughput issue with KSA able to cater to its own infrastructure technically but to really have it as a multinational projects would need guarantees.

Would we simply not facilitate this if it turns out (as it looks to be) we replaced Khameni with Khameni and call it a day?

Do they have to cross the strait though?

I think Kharg and Qeshm are reasonable targets for the Americans. And as you said, the UAE will probably go for the 3 islands simultaneously.

How else would they reach the islands? They can go through Saudi but can't take their landing craft with them.

If its an IR missile it could have been a visually suppressed flare that helps reduce nighttime visibility or if it was RF then the ALE-55 could have been hit.

No. Good diplomacy. Iran is allowing all tankers (they submitted the letter to the UN) except of combatant countries (as per UN law).
 
The last ballistic missile launch from Iran to Israel was 6 hours ago.

Something is brewing, potentially a different strike package is being assembled in anticipation of the weekend invasion.

Black troops represented at little over 16% of the ranks at the time. Deaths of black troops were a hair over 12%.

To take it a step further. deaths among enlistees was higher than it was for conscripts.
