    China issues an actually useful statement.

    China issues warning to Iran after threats to close the Strait of Hormuz:
    “The Persian Gulf and nearby waters are vital trade corridors. They must be kept stable and free from disruption.”

      This is what you call regime softening.

        I’m okay if it’s Israel doing it, I think the US needs to keep it’s focus on the nuclear assets and defensive measures against retaliatory strikes.

                Just got on TNCR so I'm catching up in this thread. Funny you posted this about the B2s and refueling plans detected flying west. I'm sure this has been discussed already but still... It's exactly what the military wanted the public to see via ADSB data. Good quick article about what was "seen" via ADSB (live flight data) in the hours preceding the attack.

                  So the ability of Twitter to break news about military plans extends exactly as far as the military would like Twitter to break their plans.

                    Since it happened in this case, that must be a universal law.

                      Yup. Now the next question... if we need to attack again, do we do a double fake out? Do we pretend to fake?

                            It sounds like Iran warned the US about their missile launch today to allow the US to prepare the defense or evacuate, and the attack was more pro forma.

                                  Trump has ended 2 wars with nuclear capable foes… Just change the name of the award to The Nobel/Trump Prize. Normally, I would advocate for putting Trump’s name first, but in this case it sounds like you are saying Noble Trump, which is appropriate, and saying Noble Trump/Nobel is silly.

                                  You know what? Just take Nobel’s name out of it. The Noble Trump Prize…

                                          But I have trouble believing that Israel would say ‘we haven’t confirmed the end of their nuclear program and are no where near the end of their ballistic missile program, but we’re good.” At the same time Iran says ‘we used to think that if we lived according to Allah’s will he would make us victorious, but we were fooling ourselves’.
