The Pentagon and National Security Council significantly underestimated Iran’s willingness to close the Strait of Hormuz in response to US military strikes while planning the ongoing operation, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
Donald Trump’s national security team failed to fully account for the potential consequences of what some officials have described as a worst-case scenario now facing the administration, the sources said.
While key officials from the Departments of Energy and Treasury were present for some of the official planning meetings about the operation before it started, sources said, the agency analysis and forecasts that would be integral elements of the decision-making process in past administrations were secondary considerations.
It amazes me how profoundly stupid these people are. This is almost too dumb to believe. The Strait of Hormuz risk has been talked about for decades, no one at the Pentagon or NSC should be surprised right now.
Exactly. It’s like they can’t read. Everyone knew this shit was gonna happen.
When we started seeing bullshit about aliens files maybe coming out, my first thought was the moon bears wkuk sketch. I was like okay, this isn’t just a distraction from Epstein, we’re about to invade Iran. I got an electrician to run a 60A 240V circuit to my garage and install a charger for me, and then I sold my Rav4 and bought an EV on 2/26. Bombs hit Iran on 2/28. I couldn’t have timed that better with a fucking time machine lol.
They don’t read!! We read more than they do.
