US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

[PK781]

...An Ally that eventually would get access to high sensitive secrets if that Section 224 of FY 2027 NDAA is approved.

they already have everything thru software backdoors, installed decades back thru microsoft and other softwares. israel has everything already.
Now they just want complete takeover of the american military to use it freely and openly anywhere to do whatever.

Israel espionage - NYT

The US government will attempt to redirect Iranian assets to Gulf states for rebuilding and repairs of future damage caused by Iran, a source familiar with the matter said on Saturday, a day after a wave of attacks by Iran against Kuwait and Bahrain.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent ‌has also directed a team to assess costs for damage already inflicted on Gulf allies by Iran, the source said, adding that the US will consider using Iranian assets for those repairs as well https://reut.rs/4edfkVd

Iraq war = 100 hours.
Iran war = 100 days.....

Just imagine the pettiness of Trump admin sore losers.

— / NEW: Iran’s World Cup squad has been informed that they must leave and enter the U.S. on the same day as their matches, and will not be allowed to stay for any period of time in the U.S.

Iran is the only team in the entire FIFA 2026 World Cup that will be forced to travel back and forth, and will spend their time in Mexico instead.

The US may use frozen Iranian assets to help rebuild Gulf allies

That would not be far-fetched.

It appears that Iran is also negotiating for a portion of this money since the regime is acutely aware of the societal fallout from the dire economic situation that has been created by the war. What they are willing to give up in return for keeping the theocratic hold on power is the ongoing discussion these days.

Bet they would also like their squadron of F-4s and handful of F-14s that have been parked at AMARG since 1979.

Right now, it is more a matter of economic survival for them, while maintaining their regime unchanged. Something has to give.

Those old airframes are probably not worth much to them at this point, given that they would be hopelessly outclassed by what any of their adversaries can put up.

I'll be sure to note next time when I'm being facetious.

There are a lot of challenges politically with taking the frozen assets of country to help rebuild another. At a minimum, this may incentivize Iran to keep fighting.

I am finding it hard to find any levity in the entire situation, for some reason, these days. Apologies.

As long as the current theocratic setup remains in power, Iran will continue to fight. They are far too committed to give up, especially now.

There is only one way out for both of them and USA, and either other is directly opposite the other's. That is the stuff of geopolitical nightmares, when neither side has left itself any room to maneuver or compromise.

No, they have not. And while some here enjoy the bravado of "Day X of the blockade", the facts remain what they are:

The Strait continues to remain at risk.

Maritime traffic is a trickle. No one other than the USN is entering while vessels wait to get out. No other navy is rushing to assist the USN with escorting traffic out. FWIW, the Royal Navy is now a navy on paper. Their fast attacks subs, all of them, are unable to go to sea at this time.

Here in whatever day of the "ceasefire" it is, Iran and the US continue to trade potshots. Everyone knows Iran is using this time to their advantage. Well, everyone who lives in reality that is.

There is only one path forward at this point. One side is eager for it while the other is unwilling to commit.

Well, this cannot last long, so there is that. Sooner or later there has to be movement in the right direction.

I can only wish USA had taken its tired-and-true approach of building a coalition first, but were are here now. It can still be done, but with an order of magnitude of added difficulty that was entirely avoidable IMO.
