Can't argue with that. Knocking out thousands of mobile launchers accomplishes nothing. They just move them around some more. We need to do something more than pinprick military targets. I say strife Kharg Island and know out any defenses and put a hole in their biggest pipeline, then when they fix it do it again.
Israel and the Mossad “forgot” (/s) to tell Trump that “weakened” Iran and its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have many friends——and would be supplied with military hardware, precursor chemicals, and logistical support by an international network involving state actors and foreign front companies, particularly from China, Russia, and localized proxies.
Intelligence indicates Chinese entities supply the IRGC with precursor chemicals (such as sodium perchlorate) for ballistic missile fuel and dual-use components for drone manufacturing.
Russia and Iran operate a self-reinforcing exchange, where Russia supplies military hardware, aviation parts, and technological support in return for Iranian-made drones.
The US Treasury’s “Office of Foreign Assets Control” tracks and sanctions foreign aviation, transport, and front companies operating out of jurisdictions like Hong Kong, Italy, and Nigeria that act as intermediaries to obscure IRGC procurement.
It diverts massive domestic resources like food and oil revenues directly to the IRGC to sustain their fighting forces and domestic operations. In conflict zones like Syria, the IRGC sustains its logistical footprint and fighters through regional corridors managed by allied militias and covert transport firms.
