  • Iran doesn’t need to escalate because what they are doing is working. The american drone incursion did not achieve any strategic success. Why would Iran change tack?

    usa sent those drones because the strait is still closed, gas prices are rising, and trump looks like a loser. This was not a show of strength by usa. This was a desperate attempt to change the situation because they are losing.

    Maybe usa destroyed some boats, there aren’t any reports of martyrs that I have seen but MQ-9 reapers cost well over $30 million each.

    Even if Iran wanted to hit back what could they do? There are no more american targets in range.


  • Shooting them down is a pretty reasonable retaliation for invading their airspace.

    There is no cease fire and never was. usa never held up to its side of the agreement. usa fled and Iran chose to stop firing because they had done all they needed to to the bases in the area.

    Fighting isn’t in Iran’s interests. They have won as much as they can militarily. All they want is usa to leave them alone. Their best weapon to get that is choking the gcc and usa by not letting them transit the strait.


  • I don’t think so. The americans are cowards. If they were going to restart the war they would send everything they have all at once.

    More likely this was just testing and probing. My guess is the us military was proving to trump that going back to war would be a massacre. This was the airforce saying “Ok look, we’ll send some drones over to test things out and if it goes well we’ll consider doing some more strikes” and now they are tying to push the “but if it goes badly we are not bombing Iran.”

    I think there is a serious divide between the us military vs. trump and the bourgeoisie. The spoiled rich people are making unrealistic demands and the military are trying to show them and explain how stupid their demands are.
