U.S. intelligence says Iran can outlast Trump's Hormuz blockade for months
- dotcoma 6mo agoThey should have said it before going to war...
- darkteflon 6mo agoI’m sure they did. No evidence to suggest there was an intelligence failure, afaik. The failures are, on the evidence, entirely at the, shall we say, executive level.
- dotcoma 6mo agoYou’re telling me that the orange guy did something out of spite and without careful consideration of what could happen? I’m shocked.
- tim-tday 6mo agoThey did, they even published publicly. Analysis have been consistent for years: Iran can close the strait of Hormuz indefinitely with minimal effort. Shippers and their insurers are extremely risk averse. A single dude with a shoulder mounted rocket anywhere in on the coastline is enough to keep ships out.
