🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran's strategy is likely to weather the attacks and maintain a steady stream of defensive missile strikes on US and proxy facilities around the region.

This forces the US to expend huge amounts of offensive weapons and interceptors that are already in short supply, depleting stockpiles and not only compromising the pace of operations against Iran, but undermining its capacity to wage war and proxy war everywhere else it is projecting power and seeking primacy.

Depleted interceptors will allow Iran to deal severe damage to US and proxy military infrastructure across the region, further complicating ongoing operations and raising their costs in the process.

Economic damage in the region, especially regarding oil will probably hurt China much more than the US, so the US doesn't even care about that - and maybe might even encourage it.

Iranian resilience and attrition of US munitions will be key in this conflict.

The US has never faced so many simultaneous strikes on its overseas bases, The Wall Street Journal reports.

The war has only just begun, but it's already clear that the Iranians are focusing their main retaliatory strike not on Israel, but on the US. Judging by media reports, the Americans weren't expecting this turn of events.

Just hours before USrael launched an unprovoked criminal attack on Iran, Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi expressed optimism about resolving Iran's nuclear issues through indirect U.S.-Iran talks within 90 days, emphasizing amicable verification of stockpiles and peaceful program needs. Yet, the Zionist alliance proceeded with "Operation Epic Fury." By striking during Ramadan, the operation shows a profound disrespect for Islam, this is a deliberate affront to Muslims. Yet and again negotiations were employed less as genuine pathways to resolution than as tactical cover for coercive action. This reckless aggression makes a mockery of diplomacy and confirms what we have long known: Washington can't be trusted, doesn't care about international condemnation because its reputation is already in tatters, is unconcerned about its so-called 'allies' and any damage they may incur as a result of its actions. @LauraRuHK

Treachery in foreign policy is becoming a hallmark of the Trump administration. The United States has followed a pattern: it opened negotiations with Iran and then, right in the middle of the diplomatic process, attacked it again. Yet, just yesterday, the US President stated that he had not yet made a decision. In short, as we predicted, the attempt to normalize US-Iranian relations was a camouflage covering preparations for an attack.

In this regard, Moscow should seriously consider the extent to which Washington is an acceptable partner for negotiations on Ukraine. Because any agreement can be violated or revised on the fly. The Iranian example has already twice – last June and this February – convincingly demonstrated that only the politically naive can trust the Trump administration. "pintofmind"
