MoU: "The Islamic Republic of Iran will conduct dialog with the Sultanate of Oman to define the future administration and maritime services in the Strait of Hormuz in discussion with other Persian Gulf littoral states in line with the applicable international law and the sovereign rights of coastal states of the Strait of Hormuz."

One source of contention.

Current Overview:

5 Refuelers and 1 UCAV operating in CENTCOM airspace. logistics and aerial refueling operation is under swing and is consistent with a period of elevated operational tempo.

The UCAV in question could be one of several MQ9s that have been stationed in the region by the US:

America was going to destroy iranian infra and millions of Iranis were going to be without water and electricity and basic necessities of life before ceasefire kicked in. What conventional victory you talking about?

1. It hasn't happened yet.
2. You can cheer that, but know that if it ever happens, it will be the end of existence for countries like Bahrain and Kuwait + cities like Dubai and Doha.

Oh absolutely we an incredible achievement no doubt as for what comes after?

Well I have no insight into what would actually happen, but whatever would happen, would be devastating to say the least

I reckon Israel is more likely to assassinate Trump to implicate Iran for this to get USA reprisal attacks on Iran, as that serves its interests, than Iran will who lack the capability to do so.

It may well all depend on when the direct control and usefulness of Trump runs out?

There is a cat and mouse game going on where the USA wants to be able to get enough oil out, into reserves so that it can build a buffer for another attack on Iran, and Iran is slowing the tap so that it cannot take place. The large strikes by the USA are a sign of its frustration that its objectives in this regard, are not being achieved I reckon.

NATO is not getting involved in that war. Again, they are purely defensive organization.

In order for NATO to go into action, a NATO Ally has to declare article 5 which means "an attack on one is an attack on all"
.
The United States obviously wasn't attacked

if Iran attacks the USA now during hostilities, it won't be enough to invoke article 5 as the USA is in the middle of a war it started and that is a war of choice.

And this time ensure that Jordan also suffers big consequences of being a israeli slave as well as india too.
Iran has to teach israeli supporters a lasting lessons

All that sucking that Jordan does of Israel, and it can't even get water from Israel anymore - go figure : https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/no-obligation-provide-israel-withholds-water-jordan

I’m guessing the Iranian response is about to come it better be go big or go home honestly

'go home'.
Too late for that.
'go big'.
If they have the capability.

If Iran kept fighting for 30-60 days, the U.S. would have given Iran the strait. Yes Iran would have lost probably some bridges and some oil installations and refineries, but so would have the entire Arab world. Thus further exacerbating the oil issue instead of 13MBPD, imagine 20M, then imagine 30M.

Looking at how many times Iran has been targeted over the last several years-you know, Suleimani, the attacks on nuclear plants, assassinations of scientists--it doesn't appear like Iran has the capability to face a Superpower. Iran has not even been able to do the required deterrent damage to Israel. The recent ceasefire was maybe a dire requirement/necessity for Iran itself to replenish. And the hostilities going on are happening too soon for the attacking forces to be replenished like before the Feb. 28th attack started. And the global oil reserves can't be sufficiently replenished in such a short period of ceasefire and so the Trumpian 'Herbert Hoover' threat probably still remains.

As long as both Trump and Netanyahu remain in their respective offices, we should expect at least low level conflict against Iran to continue. Remove one of them from the equation, I see a quick draw down.

I'm sure Iran will react. What do you think is the best for Iran to do now, at the moment (except building nukes, almost all of us agree)?

Iran must have nukes, no question on that. These new strikes could be US frustration at stalled peace talks, I doubt it will yield any different long term result.
