!!Interesting that you only report about the US strikes and not the terrorists from Iran shooting at the US bases and ships trying to pass through the straits!!! Hopefully you start reporting the facts!!!!!
10:35 "Qatar is a neutral country with a non-aggression policy," but they help the US with logistics and hosting bases to strike Iran, allowing the US to strike Iran in an illegal war.
11:11 WTF are they talking about?!?! Will not respond with any military action, said that since the beginning of the conflict. So iran can constantly shell you with missles and drones and you'll just take it?!? Hardly a country then.....qatar mediates and gets pounded for their trouble and will just take it. WOW weak
Joel Rayburn has hit the nail on its head. More specifically, news outlets keep pushing the idea that the U.S. is running out of missiles, etc. Those are stand off weapons, and they're only necessary when you're worried about human piloted aircraft getting shot down. Since Iran now lacks the means to bring down even less stealthy aircraft, the U.S. can use JDAMs, which are kits that transform dumb 1000, 2000 and heavier dumb bombs into very smart bombs that are at least as accurate as cruise missiles. The important differences between JDAMs and cruise missiles through, is that JDAMs are much less expensive and the U.S. has plenty of them in stock -- enough for this war, the next, and the one after that. We can put them precisely on targets every day for the next year or until we run out of targets. I hear a lot of people hoping we will run out of ammunition. We won't. I have a lot of problems with the way Donald Trump has run this war. That goes all the way back to April 8 of this year when Trump implemented a ceasefire very soon after we had achieved the air superiority Joel is talking about. Iran couldn't believe their luck. I keep hearing we have proven that Iran can't be defeat
Al Jazeera, there are many experts who can speak to the US options and perspective: Trita Parsi, Robert Pape, and others. Please do better than these washed up US Iran hawks.
The bombs that the US is actually dropping on Iran are getting bigger just as Irans warnings of retaliation are getting bigger!

I agree, nina.codes. When things spiral like this, it's the everyday families who pay the price through spiked fuel costs and inflation.

It really does feel like a dangerous game of chicken, Theo. Maybe shifting toward a multilateral diplomatic mediator now could prevent this from spiraling into a full-scale conflict.

It really does feel like a high-stakes game of chicken, Theo. It reminds me of how quickly small tactical shifts can trigger a domino effect across global trade routes.

Man, things are escalating fast around the Strait of Hormuz. Seeing those strikes hit the coastal infrastructure is a heavy turn of events. This feels like a dangerous game of chicken with way too much at stake. Do you think this leads to a full-scale blowout or a strategic reset?
