#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.
Dont sleep walk into a June-1914 Sarajevo situation.

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.

The 4 American troops killed during renewed fighting between the #US & #Iran in recent weeks are no longer listed as part of the #IranWar death toll in the #Pentagon’s official casualty count. They have been placed in a new, separate category Sunday.
It raises questions about properly counting the impact to US service members as the #Trump admin has escalated strikes on Iran.

#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.

Even though #oil prices have risen a lot in recent weeks, “we still see them as a lagging indicator of the extreme pressure building in the region,” they added, forecasting that a “full regional #war” could send prices toward $150 a barrel.

Now #Trump is doing something similar by claiming the troops most recently killed “don’t want to see Iran have a nuclear weapon.”
And everything that’s happened in these episodes makes very clear why∶ Because when troops die, Trump can’t help but think about it in terms of raw politics.

It featured Trump saluting with a flag-draped transfer case, which holds the remains of a soldier, in the foreground.

Despite Simmons’ comments, #Trump went on to make much the same claim as #Hegseth during an April 1 primetime address from the Oval Office. Trump said that “every single one of the people, their loved ones, said, ‘Please, sir, please, finish the job.’ Every one of them.”
And Trump’s conduct surrounding these dignified transfers has also raised plenty of eyebrows.

While Simmons had some kind words for #Trump & #Hegseth — & made clear he didn’t speak for other families — he said he had not urged them to keep fighting the #war.
“No, I didn’t say anything along those lines,” he said.
