• At day 13 despite claiming Iranian military command, political leadership, and launcher capacity has been destroyed, Iran averages 20 ballistic missile launches a day, exhausting US anti-missile munitions;

• Iran is likely pacing itself for a long-term conflict lasting 6 months to even 1 year or more;

• Even if the US “pauses” like it did last year, the war will continue because eliminating Iran is key to encircling Russia and ultimately containing China;

• Beware of those blaming “Israel” for this war as Israel is merely an extension of US power in the region like Ukraine is vis-a-vis Russia in Eastern Europe;

• Shifting blame to a US proxy allows the US to carry out extreme measures without taking responsibility for them up to and including the use of nuclear weapons and the destruction of the global economy;
