HAPPENING NOW 🚨
The U.S. has just launched a devastating attack on Tehran.

This is a direct response to Iran’s missiles hitting a U.S. military base in Jordan that killed two American soldiers, with another missing.

This video has been shared by Trump advisor Dan Scavino.

U.S. strikes on Iran Regime infrastructure over the past 7 days have plunged Iran into an existential crisis by systematically severing the Regime’s economic and military supply arteries, according to a new report by the Telegraph.

U.S. strikes have obliterated critical bridge, railroad, and transportation networks connecting the strategic port city of Bandar Abbas to the rest of Iran. This port city of 500,000 people handles about half or Iran’s international trade.

More importantly, Iran’s primary naval headquarters is now trapped in the city.

This naval HQ is crucial to the IRGC’s ability to terrorize commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz . . . and is being hit three times a day by U.S. air strikes.

By turning this Regime military hub into rubble and severing Bandar Abbas from the mainland, the U.S. both chokes off Iran’s economic lifeblood and prevents Iran from terrorizing commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

Meanwhile, devastating air strikes by the USA have methodically destroyed Iran’s critical transport infrastructure, including the logistical spine of the Hormozgan Province.

The strategic Shahid Mirzayi Tunnel (Glogah) is now collapsed. Two crucial bridges lying just beyond the valley were obliterated.

USA firepower has destroyed the Minab exit intersection bridge and entirely destroyed the crucial River Shur bridge along the primary Bandar-Abbas–Sirjan transit route.

As a result, the Strait of Hormuz coastline is now completely severed from Iran's interior supply lines.

The Regime can still get a few random missiles off.

But that's about it.

Iran’s mountainous topography provides a formidable natural defense for the Iran Regime, allowing it to hide its weapons systems and hide themselves.

But because escape and supply routes are few, this same mountain terrain also creates a box, a trap for the Regime because once the supply and escape routes are destroyed, the Regime is effectively in a prison of its own creation — a kill box.

We then just starve them economically — where nothing gets in or out of the country until the Regime collapses and gets the Gaddafi treatment.

the question now becomes, if all of these strikes are so strategic, why didn't we do them before? Same with taking out "control/observation" towers for the strait. If the strait is of such strategic value for the conflict we should have destroyed these targets long ago...

The comment "the regime can still get a few random missiles off" sort of plays to deaf ears, or "we've heard this one before"

Great points! We seem to still be hitting radar towers as well, why in the world did we not hit those right away?

I watched a clip of the attack on Jordan. From what little I saw there were maybe less than 10 missiles.

One was missed by 3 interceptors but looked like it sailed wide.

The one that hit looked to be partially intercepted as it appeared to trail debris as it crashed.

So it can be true that they have a severely reduced capacity but just need a lucky shot. That they sent a small amount might be a clue that they are shepherding dwindling resources

I think this was a reaction to Iran leveraging the strait.

Because the original goal was to wrap this up in a fashion that left Iran in a state where it could still function and carry on with an intact economy, allowing it to support it's people and rebuild itself,... That didn't work, so now phase two moves towards dismantling infrastructure,.. Phase three, if required, will add the destruction of their economy.
