Rather than go back thru like two-five weeks (I got overwhelmed at work + trips + family stuff, abruptly reminded of the reality of time + space + how unfinished/unpolished some of the automation/info intake is) I wanna ask what the fuck happened. I checked the other day and the first thing I saw was the US saying it attacked Iran. At this point I didn't even believe it because the US RSS feeds are always lying to me. So, did they actually do an attack? Did Iran hit something back in the Gulf states? Has the UAE seen the folly of their ways, just kidding? Has the US launched any more ~~high seas piracy to cast more MAGAllusions~~ blockade enforcement special military activities? Etcetera?

Anything will be helpful just please save me some review via summary. Just give your take on it, even if you're totally guessing about some stuff or also partly out of the loop (I know how bad the infospace around this is, thanks again for playing). I won't do this much, feel free to delete (?) it mods. I'm not gonna flip out again. I'm not a flipper-outer. I'm an Outer God. Okay I'm gonna actually see for myself and contribute now sorry lol

Yes, the US basically did attack to the full extent of their capabilities.

Basically:

US and Israel mass bombed Iran, Khomeini was killed and replaced by his son

Israel launched a big offensive into Lebanon

Hormuz was fully blocked for over a full month, the situation is complicated now but still mostly blocked, US afterwards also started blocking Hormuz itself

US lost several aircraft including an AWACS and over 20% of it's Reaper drone fleet

US bases everywhere in the region attacked in retaliation with several radar systems destroyed

Various infrastructure in the gulf states attacked

US and Iran agreed to ceasefire about a few weeks ago with some on and off flare ups happening
