This is a thread specifically for the war, not a general megathread (use the pinned /c/genzedong thread for that).

Please keep related news in this thread rather than making separate posts. Remember to include sources and avoid spreading rumours.

๐Ÿ’  Geopolitical analyst and former U.S. Army officer:

๐Ÿ”น It is unlikely that Trump will restart the "Freedom Project," as on Monday three U.S. Navy destroyers, just like the Abraham Lincoln carrier on the first day of the war, were heavily attacked by Iranian subsonic cruise missiles and had to use their Phalanx point-defense systems to shoot them down at close range.

๐Ÿ”น What most people don't realize is that Iran has not yet deployed its supersonic and hypersonic anti-ship missiles, and if they wanted to, they could have easily sunk our three destroyers in the Persian Gulf.

๐Ÿ”น Iranian leaders are by no means crazy; rather, they act with restraint and demonstrate that they have maintained their dominance over the United States without escalating real tensions.
