Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

Venom said:
If Iran survives even with everything destroyed but gets control of Hormuz and ability to export without sanctions - its a win.

Agreed, but whether Iran is able to achieve this win or not remians to be seen.

Let me rephrase your comment from another perspective:

How many countries in the world - leave aside USA - will be accepting of exclusive Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz given its role in global energy supplies?

Geopolitically, that is a far more important question to answer.

Most likely none though to your point, the issue is complex. Iran is on one side of the strait, GCC states on the other. GCC states aren't likely to accept that; that is a direct impact on their livelihoods.

That would be equivalent to the US advising Canada that the 4 remaining Great Lakes are all solely under US control. That's not likely to happen nor should I give the President any further ideas to consider.

Don't understand why the military heirachy are hiding with their families. You're in the military, you're at war and that makes you a prime decapitation target. Given Israel's tactic of going for the heirachy the last place you should be is with your family. You should be far, far away from them.

Sorry but the naivety amongst the Iranian heriachy is getting their own families needlessly killed. It's mind baffling.

It's simple, the government just needs to ban exports.

The government can't do it unless there is a national emergency (in petroleum), which is not there. There is no shortage anywhere. Also, import/exports are needed due to long border region and different grades of oil produced compared to what is needed. It is easier to export oil on east coast and import from west coast than pumping or moving oil 3,000 miles overland.

Zionists are playing extremely dirty, sure.
However, the question still remains, how are they being able to get the unabetted live intel on so many individual targets.

Certainly, it cannot be all ELINT based. So, why the zios HUMINT efforts are not being degraded. FFS these devils are going after mid ranking people in their homes with the families.

It is worse than that. Great lakes are strictly binational. We can negotiate with Canada and share them 3-2 if we are crazy about such things, but Strait of Hormuz at 21 nautical miles at its narrowest is international waterway. Iran having 'Sovereignity' over it is akin to U.S. owning moon because Neil Armstrong planted a flag on it in 1969.
