• Logistical Collapse: Frontline units are reportedly facing "severe shortages," with some soldiers issued as few as 10 bullets each. Worsening conditions, including a lack of food and drinking water, have led to reports of group desertions.

• Industrial Base: Strikes have shifted to targeting the defense industrial base, specifically solid-fuel production lines and ammunition depots, to prevent Iran from rebuilding its arsenal. 

This would appear to be just another case of Trump and his pathetic advisors completely misreading the situation, totally exaggerating the dangers at hand, and misleading the American people into another ridiculously prolonged and very expensive overseas adventure. Exactly the kind he promised not to engage in. But since when has his word ever met anything?

Fewer Americans than ever share Israel's aims. On the eve of the launch of the current military operation in Iran, a Gallup poll found that more Americans now sympathise with the Palestinians than with the Israelis. According to the survey, 41% of respondents express greater sympathy for the Palestinians, compared with the 36% who side with the Israelis.

This is the first major military conflict in which an American administration lacks majority public support. Only 41% of the US public supports this war, according to an analysis of various polls by The New York Times.

Even the Iraq war of 2003, during which the public was misled by the George W Bush administration into believing that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction, had the backing of 76% Americans.

Trump had hoped that he would replicate his Venezuela plan. But Iran's response has deflated his enthusiasm and exposed gaps in US planning and strategy. Iran's Islamic regime had been planning for this war scenario for more than 20 years. After last year's Israeli and US military attacks, Ali Khamenei had developed a strategy that would allow field commanders to mount a military response even after his death and the collapse of a central command structure.

Iran's plan, which it has implemented from day one of the war, is to take the conflict to the enemy, escalate and impose economic costs on it.

The US military is now admitting that it underestimated Iran. As part of its political strategy, Iran has widened the conflict beyond its own territory and Israel to more than a dozen Gulf states, threatening their stability. Gulf states can't attack Iran in retaliation because their public will see that as taking Israel's side and its backer, the United States, against a fellow Muslim nation and a victim of aggression.

The cost of war in Iran was more than $11.3 billion in just six days, according to the Pentagon. Petrol prices in the US have shot up to their highest level in three years. Stock markets across the world are falling. Economists are already warning of high inflation and even recession if the war continues.

Trump now appears to be looking for an exit strategy. On Monday, he sought to calm markets by saying that the US military was "very far ahead of schedule" and the war could end soon. But Tehran has declared that it will decide when to end the war. Even the Israeli military believes that Iran still has at least a quarter of its ballistic missiles left. Out of its force comprising 400,000 regular army personnel and 125,000 Republic Guards Corps, only a few thousand might have died, according to Israeli estimates.

Iran's strategy appears to have put Trump and, to some extent, Netanyahu in a bind. They obviously did not plan for Iran's reaction to their air raids. In the manner Iran has escalated the conflict, the two leaders might find themselves in a war that could prove to be another Vietnam. Netanyahu may not mind that, as a prolonged conflict could suit his political plan. But for the US, it will be a disaster.

Once again, Trump's impulsive decision has been proven wrong by the realities on the ground. Netanyahu, on the other hand, has achieved what he wanted, using Trump to fulfil his political strategy. But as the war escalates on Iran's terms, Israel will also lose. Its isolation will grow, the economy will be in more turmoil, and the Israeli public will feel more insecure.

Iran-Israel War: Is Trump Starting To Regret Backing Netanyahu This Far?

Unless...it's all an act.

You think this war started because Trump wants to back Netanyahu ?? thats a side show.

If Iran gets nuclear weapons, the entire strategic balance of the Middle East changes overnight. And the real fear isn’t just Iran having the bomb - it’s what happens next.

Because the moment Iran becomes nuclear, the other regional powers won’t sit still. Saudi Arabia would almost certainly pursue nukes. Turkey would feel pressured to follow. Egypt would have to consider it too. Suddenly you don’t have one nuclear state - you have four or five.

Now imagine that in the most volatile region on earth. Multiple rival powers. Proxy wars. Missile flight times measured in minutes. No NATO-style security framework. And several governments with internal instability.

That’s not deterrence stability. That’s a permanent hair-trigger.

So the strategic calculation many governments are making is simple: preventing one new nuclear state now may stop a regional nuclear arms race later.

You can agree or disagree with the approach - like or loathe Trump - but reducing it to “Trump supporting Netanyahu” misses the actual geopolitical issue entirely.

• Iran began limiting its enrichment-related activities and ceasing its work on heavy water-related projects under the internationally-agreed Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). However, following the USA’s withdrawal from the agreement in 2018, the country began enriching uranium again....is the why. Under Trump...

Probably the same as Iraq was doing with their non existing WMD.

Are you contending that Iran does not possess the enriched uranium? The uranium they admitted to in negotiation?

When Usa acting like crazy nut jacks, should they have their nukes removed ?

I think thats a fair question !

Realizing that the Iranian regime has Trump by the short hairs (don't vomit) in no whatsoever indicates support for the Iranian regime.

2 notes from AI Gemini

Query1: where does us get its uranium

The United States imports the vast majority (roughly 95% or more) of the uranium used in its nuclear power plants, relying heavily on foreign suppliers to fuel its reactors. Primary sources for U.S. uranium include Canada, Kazakhstan, Australia, Russia, and Uzbekistan, with Canada and Kazakhstan being the top providers.

Query2: where does iran get its uranium

Iran primarily produces its own uranium through domestic mining and processing, alongside, in some instances, historical stockpiles, with key production facilities located at the Saghand mine, the Gchine mine, and the Isfahan conversion plant.

I really didnt know Usa was so depended on enriched uranium, they even imports from Russia :D

Well, well done Don, pissing off most of the world and Canada as well Australia. Long term thinking in progress there.

Did you get off on that girls' school double tap? I bet you did...little brown schoolgirls all blown to pieces and burnt beyond recognition. Well, we know the Trump Administration doesn't care about abused little girls, because they have tried to hard to "move on" from Epstein. I suppose I should applaud them for their consistency.

I'm beginning to think that you aren't from the USA at all, but just a Troll planted to get people to hate the USA, thinking that it's people are immoral and despicable.

Best result would be US people rise up and change the current criminally incompetent regime and get a president who is not a complete basket case. Preferably someone who can string a few coherent sentences together unlike the orange disaster they have now!
