That doesn’t even begin to tally the billions in infrastructure and military losses from the kinetic campaign.
I’m not arguing for, or against. But the bolded is clearly demonstrably untrue.
fair enough, i meant with regard to military hardware.
the overall point remains the same. Can we squeeze iran enough without boots on the ground to establish an iads? People here say they will commit jihad with a nuke, why would they not keep the straight closed (as theyve proven they can despite our conventional military superiority) and suffer the lost revenue using cheap drones that we have objectively not been able to counter. You cant have it both ways here.
one plus from all this that a previous poster mentioned is that this may instigate a diversification of traffic that went through there.
