  • US Navy could escort vessels in Strait of Hormuz with international coalition, Bessent says

    From straitstimes.com

    The U.S. Navy, perhaps with an international coalition, will escort vessels through the Strait of Hormuz when it is militarily possible, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Sky News in an interview on Thursday. "My belief, that as soon as it is militarily possible, the US Navy, perhaps with an international coalition, will be escorting vessels through," Bessent said. The plan to escort ships would go ahead as soon as the U.S. has "complete control of the skies and ... (Iran's) rebuilding capabilities for the missiles completely degraded," he said.

“ Could “ ; the operative word .

It’s totally transparent the US administration is rattled by the tactical deployment and strategic planning of the Iranian military .

Ad hoc policy making and daily announcements to calm the financial markets is a temporary sticking plaster ; outmanoeuvred and restrained by a far weaker military they still have no cohesive plan to progress with their directives .

In fact ; the Iranian regime is probably more resilient , determined and willing to bring the fight back to the US .

Mission accomplished ?

Nah , Jack Sh*t accomplished !

Congratulations to the greatest military on the planet ( paraphrasing from a certain individual )

I'm sorry ...should I not speak the truth about the US president who is a convicted felon? Or that he is a rapist or a pedophile ? Or the little secret he shared with his daughter ! You know the one

The wounded Islamic caliphate smothering Iran finds it too delicious to let go. It needs some more chopping of its limbs. One by one, piece by piece until its head gets cut off.

murikan base in the UAE: Khorramshahr-4 - 1.5 ton warhead

After destroying most radars and AD in the region, Iran have started using heavy caliber missiles - they dont need to saturate AD anymore with cheap drones and missile - results?

The equity markets "could" sustain a rally for more than 18 hours too....but I am not holding my breath.

When this thing pops, it will pop. Until then, thee rallies are being sold....HARD.
