US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

[The SC]

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio regarding the negotiations with Iran:"There has been some slight progress; I don't want to exaggerate that, but there has been some movement, and that's a good thing. The core principles remain as they are: Iran cannot possess a nuclear weapon, and the Strait of Hormuz must be fully opened without restrictions."

At the current time, Iran is not budging on either.

Looks like Trump is leaning towards renewed military action

Of course he is. Iran's will to fight has not been broken.

He was first to report on the successful rescue of the downed F-15 pilots. He’s a solid source

Within another circle of mine, we've been discussing the impact to the US economy as well as likely outcomes to the midterms if Iran is able to hold on another couple of months.

By then, the primary season will be over and the selected candidates will be hammering their respective party's message.

I did some shopping today at Costco and was shocked to see the price of meat there. On a per pound basis, there was little difference between prices there and at the local markets.

I even posted here based on what US beef futures look like, the goal is to wean the US consumer off beef as much as possible.

This is just nonsense talking.. All this airstrikes proved to be futile. Israel needs to come to realization that airstrikes are not deterence at all but will only fuel the opponent and motivate them further.

The airstrikes have been countered and they must come to the realization that wars are won on the ground period since ancient times nothing will change about that. Israel has realized few years back that it can´t win another conventional war against anyone even tiny Hamas.

The US needs to think about regional alliances and start to go back to a realistic deterence with a coventional warfare planning.

Besides as we have seen like I have predicted before Iran actully downed many more aircrafts then reported because they figured it out because being one trick pony is easy for the opponent

The US mojo has really suffered here significiantly and why do you think Trump immediately ran to Beijing. It was basically a surrender and he said the words ´´Taiwan is part of China´´

The US realized for the first time they can´t compete with China and him immediately running to China after the Iran defeat was telling.

People said do not strike them if you can´t commit forces on the ground, it was a miscalculation from the beginning and US air superiority blubble was shattered, now the world must deal with an emboldened Iran thanks to Trump

Definitely not futile, as core US military objectives were met. Significantly degrading Iranian military capabilities and industrial base was a primary goal of the war so Iran can no longer shield a nuclear weapons program with enormous stocks of weapons. That was achieved.

If you don’t believe that, I’ll refer you back to Trumps Feb 28 statement on core US objectives.

Only major question remaining is nuclear enrichment and HEU extraction.

Hormuz is controlled by the USN. Irans Hormuz leverage is declining by the day. They played their strongest card and it backfired. Brent crude still hovering around $100. Alternate routes are being built. US economy is booming, stocks flying to all time highs, and record high energy exports.

Iran hit about 10 US manned aircraft. Thats minimal numbers for the US. The Air Force is buying 38 F-35As and 24 F-15EXs in 2027 alone.
