Episode notes
Strait Of Hormuz Operation Faces Massive Practical Limits
- The U.S. has started an operation to reopen the Strait of Hormuz with air raids and could use an amphibious assault on nearby islands.
- Fuentes details narrow geography (24 miles) and Iran's vast drone/missile supply making suppression extremely difficult.
Marines And Carrier Issues Stretch Timeline
- Pentagon is moving nearly 5,000 Marines on three amphibious ships and expects weeks before safe escort operations begin.
- Fuentes notes USS Gerald Ford is temporarily out for repairs, lengthening timelines and signaling the war won't end soon.
$200 Billion War Request Contradicts 'No New Wars' Pledge
- The Pentagon reportedly requested $200 billion to prosecute the war in Iran, dwarfing earlier Ukraine aid and adding to prior $30B costs.
- Fuentes contrasts this with domestic priorities and argues it contradicts campaign promises of no new wars.
