The only thing I can guess is there is lot going on behind the scenes that they are not telling us. Perhaps they believe Iran already has a nuke and are waiting for the best opportunity to use it, who really knows. Nothing makes much sense these days.

Israel strikes south Lebanon beyond designated 'security zone'
France 24, May 4, 2026

Israel carried out air strikes in southern Lebanon on Sunday, killing one person and wounding eight others, including four rescue workers, the Lebanese Ministry of Health said. The attack took place beyond the Israel-controlled area designated as a “security zone” and despite the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in effect since April 17.

Fears of renewed Gaza war as Hamas disarmament talks stall
BBC, May 7, 2026

Ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas have stalled, and Gaza risks sliding back into war.

This week an Israeli air strike killed the son of Hamas's leader and chief negotiator Khalil al-Hayya, and Palestinian sources confirmed to the BBC that the two sides had reached a deadlock in negotiations.

[...]

At least 846 people – including many women and children – have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire began, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. Israel says that five of its soldiers have been killed in the same period.

OOPS: Iranians Strike Cargo Ship Owned by Their Chinese Allies in the Strait of Hormuz

The war side of me suggests slyly moving a few Iran made/placed sea-mines into the path of China ships just to let China remember what they support.

U.S. Military Launches Strikes On Iranian Ports

Trending Politics News
By Cullen McCue
May 7, 2026



Fox News’ Jennifer Griffin is reporting that the U.S. launched a fresh round of strikes against Iranian ports and infrastructure targets on Thursday afternoon.

“US military just carried out strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Port and Bandar Abbas,” Griffin posted on X, citing a senior U.S. defense official who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “But this is NOT a restarting of the war,” the official added.

Iranian state media outlets, including Fars News Agency and Tasnim News Agency, reported on multiple explosions in southern Iran, specifically targeting areas around the port city of Bandar Abbas and Qeshm Island in Hormozgan province near the Strait of Hormuz.

According to Iranian media, the Bahman Pier — a commercial and passenger facility on the eastern side of Qeshm Island — sustained damage during an exchange of fire between Iranian armed forces and an unidentified enemy. Locals reported hearing missile launches and impacts in the vicinity.

Some Iranian sources, including those affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps via Tasnim, attributed the strikes to the United Arab Emirates. These reports cited unidentified sources claiming UAE involvement and warned of potential retaliation, stating that if confirmed, “the UAE will pay the price of its hostile action.”

This should be a drone war.

Send hundreds or thousands of drones towards those small boats as well as the bases they take off from.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

He's obviously not listening to his generals and he is the CIC and responsibility falls in his lap.

Of course the MSM can't be trusted -- there aren't many true journalists out there.
I hate to say it, but he is making the same October surprise that Carter made. He is ignoring the people that understand the situation and trying to "Art of the Deal" with people that can not be trusted.

With 75% of their launchers still usable, this is hardly a US military victory. Who knows how many drones are coming in from China and Pakistan, with all the other supplies Iran needs to keep the regime intact?
