US military says it struck 10 targets in Iran as ceasefire is strained by 2nd day of attacks

[White 6]

Are YOU honestly saying that the Generals AREN'T THE ONES doing this? You were quick to exonerate Biden over his Afghanistan debacle but how on this earth can you stand there and say that THIS is in any way as stupid? You may not have a clue about the Diplomacy (me neither) but Iran has been nobbled almost out of existence.

The only "power" in Iran is the IRGC who have the streets while the protesters are without them. I like that Trump is giving the chances he has; I am NOT yet happy with the outcome.

Once again, you nor I are privy to all the facts. Why do you let that cloud your judgement?

"The overarching military strategy was formulated at the highest levels of both defense establishments, specifically involving:

• United States: U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM), alongside the Pentagon, mapped out the joint operational objectives. The strategy focused heavily on degrading Iran’s military capabilities and enforcing a naval blockade. [1]
• Israel: The Israel Defense Forces (IDF), including the Israeli Air Force (IAF) and intelligence branches, developed and executed the initial wave of strikes that neutralized Iranian air defenses and leadership targets. [1, 2]"

We hasbeens know bugger all about what is really going on, and nor should we.

Absolutely. Generals did not lead trump into this. Trump ordered them into this on the quick. You don't do anything on the quick, unless forced by imminent destruction of situation. In other words, on the defense, you go to war with army you've got to defend. If going on the attack, you study, gather and analyze all Intel, analyze all options, game playing the results, both ours and theirs. You put together a combined arms air/land/naval forces, inherent and allied forces, with a complete set of goals, methods and timeframes to achieve, in order to construct overall operations order achieving all goals, limiting the option of enemy based on accurate understanding of capabilities and reactions. This was not done. It was rushed, though there was no change in strategic environment or imminent heightened threat from an enemy. You use time to play to your advantage, not a surprise sneak attack, planning to overwhelm with sudden violence, believing the enemy will quickly fall and capitulate to your terms for cessation of war. Overwhelming air/missile attack has never ever yielded the result this president and his Maj Jackoff Hegseth desired. Think Pearl Harbor. Devastating? Yes. Did it cripple the ability to respond and continue the fight? No. We study the lessons of history conflicts, learning and applying or dooming to failure, possibly getting a ass whipping from the 16 most powerful military on the planet, even though they were battling the Number #1 and 15th most powerful.

Soooooo.......

What wars did you participate in?

From a corp HQ in another country, Bosnia and briefly Mogadishu. Why do you ask? Did you think plans were made in country or operations were only coordinated in country? They aren't, certainly not the planning phase, and definitely not operational phase. Clearest view of strategic operations is not viewed while being bombed and strafed, in bunkers under attack. You are thinking of tactical operations control centers. They are tasked with carrying out tactical operations inside the theater of battle. The strategic operations and operations order is prepared and controlled from outside. Think pentagon, not some carrier group off the coast of a country, and certainly not a battlefield TOC subject to instant disruption by the enemy. I understand, due to going to the same schools, studying the same histories, studying the same lessons learned, and spending time doing standup daily briefings on 4-way split-screen TV to the powers that be, back in the day.

Obviously, there is no cease fire and hasn't been. Remember, Trump was threatening to kill Iran's ruling counsel again, while Vance was at the table trying to negotiate. Israel still hitting Lebanon, Iran hit a neighbor country and a cargo ship, and still controls the straits of Hormuz. There is no nuclear agreement. We did not get the nuclear material. We did not get the short range ballistic missiles. We did not get the popular uprising to change the regime. We just killed their supreme leader, bombed the shit out of them in their cities, some military targets, some religious symbolic targets, some purely civilian targets like the girls school. Iran is stronger and with more popular support of the civilians that got bombed, and with a more hardline 2nd string counsel of the same regime, trump was trying to change.

Basicall, Trump and Maj Hegseth went at this completely stupidly, without studying what Iran's capabilities actually were, their willingness and ability to suffer Trumps attack and still hit our forces in countries (seemingly at will). not to mention all foreign allies in the region, including Israel, along with their proven ability to close the straits of Homuz. Trump's stupidity got his ass kicked by the country with the 16th largest military in the world, simply because he did not understand war, the Iranians, the intel, or that he was such a pushover for doing Israel's bidding.

I can understand it, knowing trump for who and what he is, not knowing any better, and getting no pushback from the inexperienced, untrained, incompetent Maj Hegseth, that should never have been in that cabinet position, to begin with.

WOW. YOU ARE EVERYONES HERO

LOOK AT THE LEGENDARY WHITE 6 and had he been in Charge the world would be saved from the Orange Man.

LOL

The answer: more bombing!

Which war was one by a simple bombing attack. It did not work for Germany. It did not work for Japan. If you want success, think Gulf War One and the methods used. The buildup was not a matter of weeks, (more like many months) but the proof of the methodical process was in the results. What we are seeing is the result of ignoring the process, paying little attention to intel on and capabilities of the enemy, and rushing to attack without taking advantage timing and timeframe to achieve desired results.

 

[White 6]

You made the ******* general's coffee!

Was not talking to you, but I was not an aide at corp operations. I was an aide, to a Separate Brigade 1 star commander, 6000 miles away, several years before and at lower Officer's rank.
Dry up, you senile old fk.

 

[Blaster]

Sounds clueless and desperate, to me

That is because you hate Trump. If Biden did this you would be praising him.

The bomb we dropped on Japan ended WWII.

Ahem, not to mention Trump said the Persian war equipment was destroyed.

You obviously are not an expert and I take your opinions with a grain of salt. You are a diehard Democrat that hates everything Trump does.

Trump again threatens Iran with annihilation as Kuwait and Bahrain report attacks...

NEW STRIKES...

CEASEFIRE IN TATTERS...

Did the US gain access to Iranian nuclear material?
No, the U.S. does not have access to Iranian nuclear material. The Iran nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA, established monitoring and verification measures, but it does not allow the U.S. to access Iranian nuclear materials directly.
armscontrolcenter.org Council on Foreign Relations
Has the attack on Iran neutralized their shortrange ballistic missile threat?

Believe what you like, but do not plan on sailing straits of Hormuz or seeing Iran's nuclear material exumed from the ground where it was buried in last summer's attack, after that bunker busting bombing and missile attack. Oh, and after being bombed by us, you no longer hear of Iranian protest against the regime, anymore, do you? Looks like, to the suprise of Trump and Maj Hegseth, they didn't rise up. I have heard they are pissed and the US and more supporting of the regime, now.

Or have you heard different?

And what if it is not a matter of Democrat or Maga, but more a matter of Reality Is Real?

US military says it struck 10 targets in Iran as ceasefire is strained by 2nd day of attacks​

US airstrikes again hit Iran as Tehran strikes Bahrain and Kuwait, further imperiling interim deal

The U.S. military has launched a second round of airstrikes targeting Iran at President Donald Trump’s direction.

{Excerpt}
U.S. Central Command, in a post to social media, said that U.S. military aircraft targeted Iranian military “surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities, and minelayer capabilities” following an attack on a merchant vessel early on Saturday morning. It later specified the strikes involved 10 Iranian military targets at multiple locations in and near the Strait of Hormuz.
In a social media post, Trump said the U.S. had “struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN!” He warned of a point where the U.S. may no longer be able to be reasonable “and will be forced to militarily complete the job.”
~Snip~
U.S. Central Command said that in this latest attack Iranian forces attacked the oil tanker Kiku with a one-way drone. The tanker was laden with more than two million barrels of crude oil and sailing through the Strait of Hormuz.
According to ship tracking websites, the Kiku left a Qatari oil field in the middle of the Persian Gulf earlier in the week and was bound for a port in the United Arab Emirates that sits on the Gulf of Aman, just on the other side of the Strait of Hormuz.
It appeared to be attempting to use a route that was established near the coast of Oman that is serving as an alternative to the route sanctioned by Iran that runs through its own waters.
~Snip~


Commentary:
As the national capital, Tehran is the hub for Iran’s government, public administration, banking, finance, healthcare, and retail. High value target.
Trump warned of a point where the U.S. may no longer be able to be reasonable “and will be forced to militarily complete the job.”
If the USA is really serious about the matter, they’re going to have to strike 500 targets to get Iran’s attention ... and if that doesn’t work, they’ll have to destroy all power generation plants and Iran’s entire oil shipping infrastructure ...
Trump and allies should set up a program where the Hormuz Strait must remain open and the cost of any and all damages inflicted upon shipping by Iran will be 100% covered by Iranian impounded funds.

YOu do understand that if we are actively striking targets in Iran this whole "ceasefire" thing is a lie, right?
