Iran War. . . USA Up 2-0 in the First Period

You can bet it is very profitable for the right people.
Of course the question to go with that is "Does the US really need to be the world''s policeman?"
Well I know that NATO supplies the batteries for Comox Airport crash trucks. Even flies them out from somewhere in Ontario.
It was anything but a failure. Oil prices rose astronomically, Close to a billion dollars worth of futures changed hands 15 minutes before the guns started firing. Ship loads of ordinance that has reached best before date got disposed of, requiring certain contractors to keep the doors open. Many military personal got real time training. Trump got his name in the news. Overall, I would say it went exactly as planned.
President Trump has declared the US-Iran war a "total and complete victory" and stated that hostilities have "terminated," citing the destruction of Iran's navy and drone capabilities, even as Democrats and critics argue the conflict remains unresolved. Trump has repeatedly claimed "100%" success, telling reporters on April 7 that the U.S. "met and exceeded all military objectives".
Critics argue the claim is premature, noting that thousands of US service members are still in danger, the Strait of Hormuz remains contested, and the war lacks clear, long-term success, according to The Guardian and BBC. Despite the declaration of victory, reports indicate lingering issues, including rising petrol prices, shaky peace negotiations, and continued Iranian defiance in the region.
Donald Trump’s use of the term "losers" is a key component of his rhetoric, often used to describe political opponents, allies, critics, media, competitors, comedians, or individuals he believes do not agree with his current version of reality.
The outcome of the war is irrelevant. It was all about futures trading. And cash flow for defence contractors.
Or maybe both or maybe neither, and maybe if your aunt had balls she’d be your uncle, or maybe just Auntie Harry Balls? A cargo ship near the Strait of Hormuz said it was attacked by multiple small craft, according to the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center on Sunday, marking at least two dozen attacks in and around the strait since the Iran war began.
Meanwhile, Tehran said it was reviewing the U.S. response to its latest proposal on ending the war but made clear these were not nuclear negotiations.
All crew on the unidentified northbound cargo ship were safe after the attack off Sirik, Iran, east of the strait, the British monitor said. Iranian officials have asserted that they control the strait and that ships not affiliated with the United States or Israel can pass if they pay a toll, challenging the freedom of navigation guaranteed by international law that nobody on either side of this conflict, really cares about but accuses the other of violating.
The fragile three-week ceasefire appears to be holding, though Trump on Saturday told journalists that further strikes remained a possibility seeing as the war was terminated.
Tehran is reviewing the U.S. response to its latest proposal, Iran’s judiciary Mizan news agency cited Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei as saying but “at this stage, we have no nuclear negotiations,” Baghaei said. Iran’s nuclear program and enriched uranium have long been the central issue in tensions with the U.S., but Tehran would rather address it later.
Trump on Saturday said he was reviewing the proposal but expressed doubt it would lead to a deal, adding on social media that “they have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done" in the nearly 50 years since the Islamic Revolution there? Huh…so Trump is trying to unite Irans neighbours with Iran in his completely tone deaf response? Seems about right.

Whatever…the United States will launch an effort on Monday to “guide” stranded ships from the Iran-gripped Strait of Hormuz, President Donald Trump said, giving few details about what could be a sweeping attempt to help hundreds of vessels and some 20,000 seafarers. Iran quickly denounced it as a ceasefire violation. Iran’s effective closure of the strait, imposed after the U.S. and Israel launched the war on Feb. 28, has shaken global markets.
U.S. Central Command said the initiative would involve guided-missile destroyers, more than 100 aircraft and 15,000 service members. The Pentagon did not immediately answer questions about how they would be deployed.
Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency called Trump's announcement part of his “delirium,” and Ebrahim Azizi, head of the national security commission of Iran's parliament, said on X that any interference in the strait would be seen as a ceasefire violation.

Iran warns will attack US forces in Hormuz after Trump announces plan to guide ships — AFP News
Iran's military warned on Monday that US forces would be attacked if they entered the Strait of Hormuz, after President Donald Trump said the United States would help guide ships through the waterway.
In a lengthy Truth Social post, Trump warned ships from “innocent bystander” countries not involved in the war he started with Iran in February were running low on food and other supplies.

The U.A.E., which has backed tougher action against Iran, sounded alerts for the first time since early April, saying it was targeted by four missiles and a number of drones. It confirmed a drone hit sparked a fire at the crucial oil hub of Fujairah, which the country has used to pump much of its petroleum output around Iran’s chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz.
U.S. military forces including warships and aircraft actively protected several commercial vessels from Iranian attacks Monday, a senior U.S. official said. Sailors reported witnessing a successful drone strike on a tanker named JV Innovation and military jets buzzing overhead.
The skirmishing came hours after President Trump announced a new initiative to get ships that have been bottled up in the Persian Gulf out through the crucial waterway.
