Every day Centcom announces the start and stop of airstrikes. This is stupid IMO! The strikes should be running 24/7. We have multiple carriers in the region and the air force. If they're worried about aircraft getting shot down, then missiles and drones by day and aircraft by night! I guarantee though if you asked any of the pilots they would gladly attack iran in the day as well as the night. Now that we're in it, FINISH IT! TAKE IT TO THEM HARD, NONSTOP TILL THEY QUIT! IMO

The U.S. military actually operates 24/7 in the theater of operations.

This discrepancy stems from the fundamental difference between the pace of military operations on the ground and the pace of press releases from CENTCOM (the United States Central Command).

Here's why the communication gives this false impression:

1. The Daily Timetable Rule
An obligation of transparency:

CENTCOM does not decide on strikes based on press releases. It conducts non-stop operations and then publishes a daily briefing at set times for the global media.

The time difference: Press releases are often synchronized with Washington (EST) time or the local time of their headquarters in Tampa, creating a purely bureaucratic "start and end" effect for the international public.

I wonder if the US will take the bait. Ukraine is hoping that if Russia is helping Iran, the US will start helping Ukraine.

I guarantee the U.S. already knows this, there was reports of it during the last round of hostilities too, I imagine the reaction will be the same as last time.

Vice President JD Vance & Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine reportedly warned President Trump of the risks of further escalation against Iran during a White House meeting.

Caine raised concerns over pressure on U.S. munitions stockpiles and other potential consequences, while maintaining the military could execute the options presented.

Cain needs to be fired, and Vance needs to be told to get back in his lane! Generals MacArthur and Patton are rolling over in their graves! FINISH IT! NO MORE DEALS! IMO

If missile inventories are indeed that low, SHAME ON AMERICA FOR ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN!!!! IMO
Is it possible this is a faint?

The US has burned through roughly a third of its total pre-war stockpile of key precision munitions in Iran War.Interceptors are the most exposed: up to 80% of THAAD (190–290 of 360), more than half of SM-3 (130–250 of 410), and up to 61% of Patriots (1,060–1,430 of 2,330) are gone. Long-range strike weapons are also depleted at scale, with 1,000+ Tomahawks and 1,100+ JASSMs used, and nearly the entire small PrSM stockpile (40–70 of 90) fired. Source: ABC, CSIS

When stuff like this is posted on the web I think they want to see America burn! IMO

I think the key word here is ESTIMATED!

Just think if the United States has to take on two, three, or more enemies at once. We will burn through that stockpile. I'm thinking if that happens nuclear war will quickly break out.

Where are these anti aircraft mini-guns and laser turrets being shown the past few years?

CRAM has been levied as a stopgap against small non traditional drones and loitering munitions since the start of the war .THAADs are intended to intercept ballistic missiles at a higher altitude as they enter the terminal phase of their path. Any missiles that are able to leak past are intended to be shot down by Patriot systems. My guess on why the MOD is asking for more time is because the Iranians have in essence found the sweet spot in relation to their targeting of Muwaffaq Salti (they need more assets in region). Supposedly an AEGIS system is active in Jordan as it was reported to have shot down 1 ballistic missile during the attack on King Hussein International Airport, These only represent a single part of a layered AD network though, and the concern for adding more traditional interceptors to our arsenal to flesh out our capacity to deal with larger attacks is valid when looking at the possibility of this continuing for the foreseeable future.

Don't take the last two nights of no strike on Iran as respite. It is just a operational fork in the road. Not weather to make deal or war. But rather how far the war is going to escalate. As Israel's media is saying exactly word for word, "escalation is inevitable."

And if Israel state media is saying it is inevitable tells me the decision has already been made.

Israel will soon enough join the "gang bang" against Iran. Perhaps much further than seen before too. Trump MAY use Israel to hit targets US couldn't like power plants, water management, and oil extraction/export management facilities.
