US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

[vmro]

The US achieved ALL of its military objectives.

In that case, USA has very modest and limited objectives, so USA achieved its goals, Iran also is undefeated, Hezbollah is major danger for the entity again...

Everyone is winner in this unusual calculation of strategic objectives...
Maybe Bibi is a little bit disappointed, but he has to accept fact that every Trump's anti-Iranian operation ends with Iranian geopolitical triumph...

Correct. The damage is done.

Mission accomplished.

Yeah, the damage is done. The WTI price currently is not going to go back to $67 a barrel until 2029 (Oct or November 2029 last I check) because we are going to need to fill that 2 billion + barrel deficit to get the price back to normal. As long as there is still outstanding contract to be filled, price isn't going to drop. Because a contract is a contract, just because you can't deliver it when the strait is close that does not write off the contract. And strategic reserve around the world is going to need to refill..........

And that is we are assuming oil production and transport can go back up to normal in the event the strait is reopen, it can't, as many of those Kuwaiti and Saudi oil field and UAE gas field are damaged, so the 2029 track is only a theoretical number, it's very likely it will take longer for oil price and gas price to go back to normal
