Episode notes
Strait Of Hormuz Is The Likely Focus Not Easy Invasion

- He notes Iran prepared since 2003 and that hardened sites may require boots or special forces rather than pure bombing.
Iran Campaign Serves Israel And Us Global Strategy
- Michael Malice frames the campaign as serving Israeli and US strategic goals: make Israel dominant in the region while freeing US focus for Asia/China.
- Tim and Luke add the operation secures oil routes and regional allies to protect the petrodollar and global trade lanes.
