Before any retaliation, we and our allies have to be ready for a full scale war with Iran.

That means the Gulf shipping, all the Arabian peninsula, all our forces in Iraq and Syria, Israel, very complicated to “lock and load”.

“...very complicated to “lock and load”.

If I understand the euphemism accurately, it simply means being in a state of readiness for combat should it prove imminently necessary. A statement of “bravado” so to speak.

How is that “very complicated”?
