They're not attacks, they're squabbles. That way they don't need to ask Comgress for permission to spend all your tax money on weapons instead of healthcare.

An insanely great question. It was asked of Kegbreath today. Here’s your answer: “The ceasefire has not over. This is new shit.” (and then a lot of bullshit evading answers)

No joke, they are basically saying Operation Epstein's Fury and Project Freedom are completely separate things.
So they believe theoretically that they can create a new "project" to complete war objectives while the main "ceasefire" is happening. All while evading the 60 day deadline. Which even the ceasefire doesn't stop the clock on.

Because 100+ million Americans taking matters into their own hands and taking to the streets of America in a work strike protest is non-existent, we pin all our hopes on the Senate minority leader?? Why? What about the Senate *majority leader*? You might not even know his name, it's Thune.

Iran is serious about defending themselves, who would have thought?
Reminder to all, even if there is a ceasefire and peace agreement at this very moment, it will take 6 months to clear the Strait of the mines, and over a year for gas prices to stabilize to pre-war prices.

This escalation in the Strait of Hormuz is worrying but seems contained so far.According to reports,the US launched “Project Freedom” to e***** stranded commercial ships through the vital waterway (which carries ~20% of global oil).Iran responded with drones, missiles, and small boats.The US military says it sank 6 Iranian fast-attack boats,intercepted incoming threats,and successfully guided at least two commercial vessels through. Meanwhile, the UAE reported Iranian missile/drone attacks on its territory/oil facilities, which it intercepted most of.Both sides are framing it as defensive. US officials (including Defense Secretary Hegseth) are stressing that the broader ceasefire still holds and they’re not looking for a full return to war this is a limited effort to keep global shipping lanes open.Iran denies some of the attacks or calls them warnings.Hoping diplomacy (and backchannel talks) can de-escalate quickly.A prolonged disruption here would spike oil prices worldwide and hurt everyone.What do you all think is this just posturing around the ceasefire,or the start of something bigger?

They can defend the straight for a very long time as they have the tactical advantage. They control the entire area. The US is just hemorrhaging tax payer dollars. Ugh. Such a waste of money that we could have used to have healthcare.

>Let’s assume withdrawing or stopping military operations is not an option.
Why do we have to assume that? That would be the best solution because we shouldn't have started this war to begin with. No thought or planning went into this war. It is 100% ego stroking for Trump and Hegseth. It really has a lot of similarity to Russia invading Ukraine, which was for Putin's ego.

Lol if the two most obvious answers are off the table then you're down to full mobilization and a new ground war in the Middle East with midterms approaching and a comparatively empty stockpile of needed weapons for such.
So.... nuclear threats and/or lots of dead American soldiers.
Edit: note, I'm not advocating for it, just pointing out the only modestly feasible options to get to the end point you spoke of.

Drones are super c****. All it takes is threats of drones and ships won't cross because insurance companies will refuse to insure them if they get blown up. Iran will never not have enough money for drones which I'm sure Russia is also more than happy to supply. As long as the straight remains closed, Russia can sell their oil for inflated prices and with them being starved for money, are highly insentivized to support Iran.
