Why The Saturday Daylight Strike Happened
- The U.S. and Israel executed a daylight strike after identifying a rare chance to hit Iran's top leadership, including Ayatollah Khamenei.
- Israeli and U.S. military intelligence tracked meetings and struck when leaders were exposed to prevent a near-term nuclear threat.
Iran's Counterstrikes Strengthened U.S. Arab Alliances
- Iran's retaliatory strikes on U.S. Gulf allies backfired by solidifying Arab support for the U.S. and Israel instead of separating them.
- Missiles and drones hitting Gulf states pushed those nations closer to supporting regime-toppling efforts against Iran.
Monitor International Reactions For Coalition Signals
- Watch other nations' responses, especially access to bases and diplomatic alignment, as indicators of long-term coalition strength.
- Mohler cites the UK allowing U.S. base access and Germany/France's non-opposition as signals of side alignment.
