O Man!
Inflation, Iran acting up....Yep, the Carter Years are back!
Yeah, when does the WH issue a statement urging calm and conservation if it looks like someone might take military action?
The leaders of Iran need something to divert public attention away from their failed economic, water, and other policies that is causing unprecedented civilian unrest in the County.
They probably want either a war or a significant international intervention to try to rally public support.
It is my hope that Countries like Japan, India and Korea will step in and with US air cover destroy all Iranian surface vessels, oil platforms, and coastal cities.
It is clear that the US military could dust off the old Operation Praying Mantis playbook, but I would prefer other countries do the dirty work.

They mined the harbor. Makes sense for Iran.
Whatever ruling junta is in charge of the US at this point, enough of these subrosa military incidents and they will flood the zone and do something big and strategically irreversible.
What am I supposed to do if navigating in that area? Non-react?
With the Biden team in charge, I wouldn't bet on that. The US is more likely to run interference for Iran and talk down any military action IMO.
"You have Winter in your haor,
And Summer in your eyes,
But if you don't get some Spring your butt,
It's over the Falls for you, baby".
Nice. Lovecraft knew when Elder Things were trouble.
“In his house at R’lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.”
In some ways, I’d almost prefer Elder Gods waking up to more more of the same from Iran that the current administration will do nothing about.
Bob, is that you? This is your old Asphalt Princess.
You said that you’d call me.
I ended up married to a heavy equipment operator.
Hopefully she has a warmer heart than and Ice Princess I dated once.
Did she pave the way for others to follow?
I heard he was a smooth operator!
