Under the dangling Sword of Damocles

 

"There is one more thing. Iran has made it known, both directly and indirectly, that Iran will close the Strait of Hormuz as well. That would cripple the world economy, even if shut for a short period of time. The price of gas might return to Biden levels, and some other items might also increase in price. But to take Iran off the table of terrorism, to get rid of their theocracy, this might be the price we need to pay."

For those who are paying attention to all the military stuff, the clock might be clicking down to midnight. That is, for the Mullahs in Iran. For weeks now, for the bad guys who are running Iran, it appears that the dangling Sword of Damocles is getting closer to breaking free and falling. Iran knows it, Israel knows it, and the United States sure the heck knows it. And when the sword falls (figuratively) on Iran, it will make Operation Midnight Hammer look like a kiss on the cheek by comparison.

Negotiations (if you can call them that) continue with Iran. The liars from ancient Persia have told our team that 1) they are not getting rid of the present government, and 2) they will continue to enrich uranium. Not to make a bomb of course, just to have it for "peaceful purposes." Nobody on the United States negotiation team has "stupid" tattooed on their forehead - in other words, nobody is taking the bait. Trump said, no uranium - period. That is a bright red line.

With negotiations going nowhere, and with the United States "armada" sitting off Iranian waters, Trump has ordered the and F-22 squadron to England. Why does that matter? The F-22, which acts more like a sixth-generation jet than a fifth-generation jet, is the finest platform in the world right now - hands down. During Midnight Hammer, they were only on station for four days until used. If history repeats on the four-day window, expect hostilities to commence this weekend.

What can we expect if hostilities do break out? It will probably be the toughest fight we have been in for years. Iran has been expecting this for years. Are they ready for it? Sure are. Israel will take the brunt of much of the return fire. Why? Easy target. And any US base will also be on the table. But what they really want, which would be huge prize, is to sink one of our ships. In the eyes of the Mullahs, that would make the good guys "tuck tail and run". The war would be over, with Iran remain standing.
