#US says it's striking targets in #Iran as hostilities flare again after month with little #military action

CENTCOM said Tuesday that the strikes “follow recent attempted attacks by the IRGC against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz & against American service members deployed to the region.”

Leaders of the US European Command, the US Pacific Command & the US Southern Command, along with the Navy’s top admiral, responded with what is characterized in the #SDOB as a “non-concur,” those familiar with the assessment said — meaning they disagree with the secretary’s order to extend their forces but will execute it nevertheless.

The Aug 14 #SDOB directs some troops deployed in the #MiddleEast to remain there through September & some others into 2027, said those familiar with the document. The prospect of extending those forces further compelled #military leaders to voice their concern, these people said.

The #US #defense official said the most concerning shortfall involves #PatriotMissile interceptors, which can shoot down #Russia’s high-speed ballistic missiles. The #NATO official confirmed the low inventories of Patriots among US & NATO forces in #Europe. Both spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive #military matters.

#JCPOA was torn up by #Trump because it did not tackle #Iran's support for its proxies and its missile program. #JCPOA capped uranium enrichment for 10-15 years. #EpicFury was launched to correct this.

Let us see if #DJT can get a better deal than #JCPOA.
Let us see if #Iran was stop supporting its proxies, the so called #AxisOfResistance.
Let us see if #EpicFury will result in capping of missiles.
Let us see if there is regime change.

2. The #US wants to use the #HolySee's 'moral megaphone' -which speaks to 1.3 billion Catholics in the world-to further their own agenda.
In particular, the #US wants the #HolySee –whoever the Pope may be – not to use its 'moral megaphone' to condemn US #ForeverWars urbi et orbi
