#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.

If #US is unable to commit ground troops to overthrow the regime in Tehran or open the Strait of #Hormuz then what does it portend for conflicts in Western Pacific? #Taiwan is not a treaty ally of US, regardless of 1979 Taiwan act. #Iran and #Russia's ability to manufacture drones and missiles is limited. The capacity of #China to build missiles and drones is significantly more.
This has not gone unnoticed in Asia

6 #EU nations want to tax windfall profits, apparently Global profits, of oil companies, especially the refiners. Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Poland and Austria are for for it. Missing from this list are France, Netherlands and Ireland. Apparently cost of living is a factor in EU.
If only there was a working pipeline which could carry gas and oil to Europe which was immune to closure of #Hormuz.

#TACO Monday
The D-Day sanctions on #Iran are futile unless #US sanctions #China. US will not do that, too high a price. US may block the sea lanes, to an extent, but it still leaves the Central Asia and Russian corridor to China wide open. Just as the proposed pipelines bypassing Strait of #Hormuz will be built over the next 4-5 years so can new pipelines and rail from Iran to Western China.
Is #DJT a moron?

#US ended one #ForeverWar in 2020 with withdrawal from Kabul and ended up in two #ForeverWars. One in #Iran and the other in #Ukraine. With no expectations that both wars will be won or will go in a direction which would be beneficial to Washington.
Meanwhile #US now spends on interest payments an amount that is almost equal to its entire defense outlay.
Sheesh, talk about jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.

A top #Iran national security official delivered a sweeping set of demands on Saturday that he said the #US must meet before the #StraitOfHormuz can reopen to maritime traffic, throwing the fate of the critical #trade waterway into question.

The meeting comes as both face growing pressures at home. #Netanyahu is up for reelection & is embattled in part because of his deteriorating relationship with #Trump. Trump is under pressure to end an unpopular #war that has wreaked economic havoc & driven prices higher ahead of #midterm #elections this November.

#Ukraine by striking shipping in #Caspian Sea showed what the Ukraine war is all about. In case of #Taiwan contingency #China will loose access to sea. It will need Oil, Gas, metals, food, etc. which can be met easily by Russia and Central Asia. With Ukraine in NATO, supply from Caspian Sea, Caucuses, Central Asia and Iran can be interdicted.
It is a double pincer movement against China, from the western direction

#Ukraine crossed a Rubicon by striking shipping in Caspian Sea. This action has potential to turn two regional conflicts into a global conflict. If this reckless strike is not repudiated and invalidated this will set a precedent for China and Russia. Both of them will use this as a precedent to attack any shipping. Globally.

…Since the renewed hostilities began, the #Pentagon has provided even less information about #military strategy & casualties than it did during the first phase of the conflict. The Pentagon has not held a press briefing about the #war since early May, & officials at #US CENTCOM have stopped providing casualty updates to reporters.

The #US & #Israel launched the #war in #Iran on Feb 28, & 14 troops were killed in the initial waves of fighting. Washington & Tehran agreed to a ceasefire in April & then signed an interim deal to end the war in mid-June.
It was short-lived.… #Trump soon declared that the ceasefire was over.
The #Pentagon system’s new “Overseas Operations” category says it tallies casualties starting July 7.

By Wednesday, the #IranWar figures in the #Pentagon’s system fell back to 14 dead & 420 wounded. However, a #US official told AP at the time that the actual number of wounded personnel in the war had actually grown to well over 500 troops.
The Pentagon’s top spokesman, Sean Parnell, took to social media that day to assert that the reported drop was a “temporary data disruption.”

Adding further confusion, when the #Pentagon announced 2 of the deaths in Jordan, it said the troops were supporting the #US mission to counter the Islamic State group. The other 2 were announced in press releases simply as supporting overseas operations.
#Trump confirmed the total, writing in a Truth Social post on Tuesday that the “Iran Military Conflict” had claimed 18 lives.

It appeared to reflect that 4 soldiers had been killed since fighting resumed despite the signing of an interim ceasefire deal last month — 3 on a base in Jordan that was struck July 17 by Iranian ballistic missiles & drones, & 1 in Iraq a day later during a controlled detonation of an Iranian drone.

#Pentagon press secretary Joel Valdez argued Thursday that the drop in casualty figures in the online system was not an effort to hide the growing human toll of the #war but rather the result of “anomalies” & “temporary data disruptions” that were being resolved “imminently.”
As late as Tuesday, the website was reporting the war’s official toll as 18 killed & 482 wounded.

Diplomacy is back. Talks are on going. Updated #MOU may be out soon. Or interpretation of the #MoU will be clarified. As long as bombs are not falling, drones are not flying, missiles are not being launched that is a good thing. A welcome development.
#US is back to blockading #Iran. Not clear on how the Caspian Sea coast will be blockaded.
Meanwhile strait of #Hormuz and Bab-el-Mandeb are blocked.

#Iran is connected to #Russia via Caspian Sea and Caucasus corridor. #Iran is connected by land to #China via Central Asia and Russia.
If the expectation is to repeat the playbook used to overthrow Saddam's #Iraq i.e. degrade Iran over a period of a decade via sanctions and No Fly Zones so that the next US president can invade Iran easily, then that might not work
Meanwhile strait of #Hormuz is closed.

The #MoU has been merely suspended. It has not been nullified. It has not been annulled. It has not been revoked.
Since the #MoU has not been abrogated, expect #US and #Iran to return back to its essence in a few weeks. Once the munitions have been exhausted.
That is the upside. The downside? Economically things are going to get bad. Very bad. For all. Not end of world type bad. Nor global conflict.

#MoU has been suspended but not abrogated. That is a crucial and significant development.
There was a misunderstanding between the parties about what is there in MoU. While differences are sorted out, strait of #Hormuz remains closed. Maybe #BabElMandeb strait will be closed too.
Both the #US and #Iran are not bound by the MoU. They will be bound to the agreement which comes out of the MoU

If Iran's nuclear infra was obliterated in the Jun-2025 12-day war, then why #EpicFury?
#IRGC and the #Ayatollahs do not care how many Iranians get killed or go hungry. Nor how badly their economy goes under. #DJT only has 2.5 years left, they have more. They wont give up. They can only be removed from power by a ground invasion.
Welcome to another quagmire.

#Iran's economy is battered. It will need north of 300 billion to get back in shape. #Iran will need to sell 80 billion worth of produce per year for a decade just to build it back. That is provided no money is sent to #Hezbollah, #Hamas, etc. There are indications that Iran has been prioritizing sending money to #Hezbollah and possibly #Houthis even over #IRGC units.
#Ayatollahs have a choice to make.

“We are the strongest nation on the planet Earth and we’re in a stalemate with #Iran. And now we’re begging to get back into a deal that you all trashed in the first place.” - Senator Cory Booker.

#DJT does not have the political will nor the military capability to destroy the #Ayatollah toll both in Strait of #Hormuz. He is hoping that the agreement with #Iran opens it up. Or there is a #TollBooth but only in Iranian waters and not in #Omani waters nor in the international channel in the middle of Iran and Oman. #Iran will disagree with both.
Beginning of #OperationFury was the end of era of #FreedomOfNavigation. World wide

The agreement between #Iran and #USA is a MoU. It is not binding on anyone including #Iran or #America. Any one of them can walk away and return to the status quo, i.e. No War, No Peace.
#Ayatollah toll booth across Strait of #Hormuz is active.
#Ayatollah regime in Tehran survives.
#Israel and #America have learnt their hard power limitations.

If someone was thinking that only based on sanctions and air power, the regime of #Iran would be toppled or its behavior would change, he was smoking something very potent. Sanctions and Air power are never sufficient to overthrow any regime or change its behavior. Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, Iraq, the first Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, ISIS, etc. all required boots on the ground.
What was he smoking? And who was his dealer?
