Trump acknowledges that Israel has been blowing up apartment complexes to kill some Hezbollah members when there are a lot of other people in those apartments who are not Hezbollah.
The current Iran deal is an extension of the ceasefire, not a peace deal. The original ceasefire was supposed to have Hormuz open. We don’t know the outcome of the war because the war is not yet over. We don’t know how the negotiations during this extended ceasefire will go. Neither Trump nor Iran want to give in on key issues.
The Trump administration isn’t just acting illegally with domestic actions, but foreign policy actions. Assassinating criminals, even in foreign territory, is murder.
Iranian hardline protesters are chanting that their leaders are weak and pathetic if they agree to Trump’s deal, even though Trump’s deal sucks for the United States and achieved nothing that couldn’t be achieved diplomatically.
The chanters are asking what about the blood of their former leader who Israel and the United States assassinated. They are demanding no deals but victory against the countries who assassinated their leader.
Limited patriot missiles may not hurt the US too much in a war with China because China will likely overwhelm patriot batteries, and destroy those batteries in one day. Without batteries to fire the missiles, the missiles are useless.
One reason the US does not build that many missiles in a year is because the fuel in missiles degrades and makes the missiles too dangerous to fire, meaning, if we build a whole lot during peacetime, most of the missiles will go in the trash along with the piles of money it cost to purchase them.
Iran has destroyed a lot of important equipment and radars on US bases around the Middle East. These bases are sitting ducks, and the US was unable to defend them.
Iran, being weaker than the US, responds more violently and aggressively to deter the US and Israel, who both may be deterred while taking much less damage.
