This was the most violent attack carried out by Iran during the ceasefire period, and the escalation is expected to continue. Iran has been kept on a slow boil for weeks, having its defenses tactically targeted while the blockade on its oil continues to prevent large-scale sales.

You know now that I'm looking back, it was sold to the other retard monkey - Bush and his cronies the same lie, but nested within the war of 2003 was the policy to really fragment Iraq if it couldn't become a staunch US ally. It was deliberate breakup and the tools used were same as now, divide people based off their sects, religion, ethnicity etc.Speaking of 'cake', the older ones remember Iraq 2003 was supposed to be a 'cake walk' or was that some mention of 'yellow cake' ?
I remembered buying the book "Shia Revival" by Vali Nasr thinking it was some sort insightful about the rise of Shia power. It was accurate in some aspects. It was a very deliberate divide and rule in the Islamic Middle East.
I recently watched an interview of Vali Nasr and was disgusted at the language he was using to describe the demonic entity, Iran. I come to find out the dude is another orientalist to push more divisions in the Middle East. By Comparison, Trita Parsi is leagues more impartial.
That's their whole agenda, to divide populations and make them fight one another while you can cheat, steal, and extract as much resources as possible. It was never Islam or Muslims that were backwards, it was them investing trillions of dollars to keep the region in artificial turmoil.

Very significant development which could possibly give Trump an excuse to withdraw from this war and blame the Congress for tying his hands. But the Israel Firster Mark Levin says neither the War Powers Act or any debacle in the Mid Term 2026 elections could stop Trump as the Commander in Chief to keep waging the war on Iran.
The House on Wednesday was set to vote on a measure directing President Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from Iran or win approval from Congress to continue the war.
The resolution had been on track to pass in May when Republican leaders abruptly pulled it from the floor to avoid an embarrassing defeat for both the party and the president.
Adoption of the resolution would be a remarkable rebuke to Mr. Trump and his handling of the war, after he has repeatedly dismissed any effort by Congress to curb his power and the G.O.P. has largely ceded its prerogatives to do so, deferring to him time and again. Republicans put off the vote two weeks ago, recognizing that they did not have sufficient votes to defeat the measure.
But it was not clear whether they had made any headway in the days since, in winning converts, as the conflict has dragged on and Mr. Trump has made little progress toward ending it. And G.O.P. leaders are unable to delay the vote any longer because Democrats have invoked the War Powers Resolution, which requires consideration of such measures within a limited period of time.
Three House Republicans sided with Democrats in support of a similar resolution that just barely failed on a tie vote last month, in a sign of growing opposition to the military campaign now in its fourth month.
The vote comes as divisions between Republicans in Congress and the president have surfaced on a range of issues as their interests diverge in the run-up to the midterm congressional elections. Senate Republicans have in recent days forced Mr. Trump to abandon his request for $1 billion in security funding for his ballroom project and a plan that the Justice Department announced to create a federal fund to pay claimants who accuse the government of having victimized them.
Even if the resolution were to pass and be approved by the Senate, the ability of lawmakers to force a president to withdraw troops remains a contested legal question, and Mr. Trump and his senior aides have dismissed any effort by Congress to limit his war powers as unconstitutional.

in this strike a week ago 2 MQ-9 drones were destroyed in their hangar
so I don't think you can safely assume other hangars are empty

Can you offer proof the President is golfing with prostitutes? Or is that simply envious speculation on your part?

Bases cannot be destroyed so easily, they can be 10s of sqkm in size, US airbase in Doha is 30sqkm+, they can be damaged, but can be made operational pretty quickly, but constant kinetic attacks will make them in-operable. Also, precise targeting of their sensors and radars will make them blind.
