According to two regional sources, the deal under discussion sets up a 60-day temporary arrangement between Oman and Iran in the Hormuz strait, which could be extended. All inbound traffic of ships through the strait and into the Gulf would go in a northern lane through Iranian waters.

DniproOsint says Ukraine struck all 5 ferries serving the Kerch crossing in July. Three suffered critical damage, while Lavrentiy and Panagia now operate only as unpowered barges with tugs. The crossing remains one of the few relatively safe fuel supply routes to occupied Crimea. #Ukraine

Sen. Rand Paul: "This was a war of choice, and it wouldn't have been my choice ... they've militarized the strait. The strait has never been militarized ... I think that really we, by any objective viewing, are worse off now than we were before the war"

Our allies must be cringing at the thought of us expending their futures in a useless war. Europe can't depend on us and honestly Taiwan never could expect us to make a difference. That's pretty much done. Increased production is just talk, those numbers won't be around to help for years.

The U.S. has used “virtually all” of its precision strike missiles during the war in Iran. Stockpiles on ATACMs and Precision Strike Missiles are almost depleted. And we have used about half of our Tomahawks, per new data circulating inside the administration.

It makes little sense to use the PrMS missiles. Estimates are that only around 100 have been delivered to the army so far. They should be building stockpiles to replace the (ATACMS). You can preach 'expanded production' but Lockheed can only produce so many PrSMs and THAADs and Patriots.

The US Army has used up much of its stockpile of highly accurate long-range missiles during its five-month war with Iran, according to three people familiar ⁠with the data, raising concerns about the military’s readiness for future conflicts. The expenditure leaves the US vulnerable to attack.
