I suspect we could keep some planes surveilling the area in play. An A10 should handle little boats nicely.

They’re all armed though. There might be too many for an A10 to kill before it is killed. (Just speculating)

I feel like we’ve seen this movie before.

I have no particular issue with more attacks, I’d just like to know what the specific goal is that would support.

Same song, different day.

United States President Donald Trump has announced he will postpone a “scheduled attack” against Iran at the request of regional leaders in the Middle East.

The reversal, he said, came in light of the fact that “serious negotiations are now taking place”.

“A Deal will be made, which will be very acceptable to the United States of America, as well as all Countries in the Middle East, and beyond,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account.

It is unclear what, if any, breakthrough has been made in the stalled negotiations to end the conflict between the US, Israel and Iran.

If you end up there for a while and get tired of pizza and pasta make your way to Sardinia and @nobodysock can make you a plate of tacos.
