Yesterday marked the 100th day of us bombing the **** out of them. The Strait is still closed. We sunk their navy. The Strait is still closed. We took out quite a number of their power plants...leaving their citizens in the dark. The Strait is still closed. We took out a good percent of their leadership. The Strait is still closed. 

Attrition.

I said that this was a battle of attrition. Iran can outlast us. They can't beat us in military strength, but the leverage more power over us. Not to mention a closed Strait prevents other European nations from receiving their oil. Thus they are suffering too.  

This is what happens when the US allows Israel to navigate our military and policies.

Iran has been bombed for 100 days straight, lost their navy, lost their power grid, lost chunks of their leadership...and somehow you think that proves they’re the ones holding all the cards? Really? That list you typed is basically a confession that Iran is the one who closed the Strait, because they sure as hell don’t have the strength left to force anything open. I mean, attrition only works when the side doing the ‘outlasting’ actually has something left to outlast with. Iran’s been getting folded like a lawn chair hurricane. Their economy is wrecked, their infrastructure is toast, their military is gone...

The Strait isn’t closed because Iran is powerful...it’s closed because the region is a smoking crater and nobody wants to sail through a live‑fire zone. That’s not leverage. And let’s be real: Iran isn’t ‘outlasting’ anything. They’re stalling until they sign whatever peace treaty gets shoved in front of them, because they don’t have the fuel, the navy, the grid, or the leadership left to do anything else. All this MAGA winning is...
