France is preparing a future "purely defensive" mission to reopen the Strait of Hormuz​

Emmanuel Macron said today from Cyprus that he and his partners are preparing a future "purely defensive" mission to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and escort ships "after the hottest phase of the conflict" in the Middle East has ended, in order to allow the flow of oil and gas.

The French president also announced that France would contribute "in the long term" with "two frigates" to the operation set up in 2024 by the European Union in the Red Sea.

In total, "the French presence which will be deployed from the eastern Mediterranean, in the Red Sea and precisely off the coast of Hormuz, will mobilize eight frigates, two amphibious helicopter carriers and our aircraft carrier" Charles de Gaulle, currently near Crete in Greece, he said.

sir, theoretically how many days of bombing would result in ending of this war?
any rough estimate? (with and without going N)

NATO air campaign on Serbia in 1999 lasted 80 days. Since Iran is larger than Serbia, a rough estimate would be more than 80 days.
 
Satellite imagery shows that the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain has been damaged. Both warehouse facilities and radomes have sustained damage

Qatar is a neutral country, IDK why they sought USA bases there

very stupid decision by Qatar, which is surprising, Qataris are very balanced people

Qatar is a small country, with very small population. Its monarchy and its oil/gas rich nation. All these attributes makes it very difficult to say no to US bases.

With such attributes you'd never know when CIA do regime change and install their favorable king.

There is an American base in Turkey. It is a target.

Even Americans are not so crazy to sail the Hormuz strait with aircraft carriers in war time.

What they plan to do if Iran sinks Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier? Launch a nuclear first strike against Iran?
 
Just finished watching this Alastair Crooke video. Some take aways:
1) The interceptors are being depleted and more depletion happening with Hezbollah and Yemen into the fray.
2) The Indian PM Modi's blunder of going to Israel just before this war began and crowing about the ties between the Zionism and Hindutva, has really annoyed even the Russians; so while Trump has given India 30 more days to buy the Russian oil [presumably because India is supplying Americans the bases to attack Iran], the Russians are so annoyed that instead of any discount, they want India to pay a premium on oil purchase!! Shocking, if true!!
3) Trump may say now that let's stop it, we have won. But Iran is going to say, No, it will be us who will have our say in this matter going forward, including not allowing the American bases in West Asia to control the oil flow which could be used against China etc.
