Now that no one is looking, more details have emerged from the damage on Nvatim by Iranian misiles
For the size of the attack, it was still very light and imprecise destruction. Iran should either change its attack approach or implement more precise guidance for its missiles.
I don't see any major buildup of US forces near Iran despite some of the comments in the media about B-2 Bombers at Diego Garcia. Any strikes on Iran would require a significant buildup of naval and air assets in the region. I doubt we are seeing that, but who knows with Trump in power.
I mean what specifically are you expecting, lol? They have 2 CSGs en route, B-2s deployed to DG, plus Israel will contribute its forces, and apparently C-17s transporting extra AD to Bahrain/Qatar. They're fighting Iran, not China.
I believe they had six carrier strike groups around Iraq in 2003, and unless these are going to be very limited strikes I would assume you need at least that much fire power to deal with Iran today.
Well for one 2003 was a full invasion and campaign to completely destroy the Iraqi govt, not presumably strikes limited to destroying the nuclear program, and 2 there's still over a month left until Trump's deadline.
Trump and his advisors probably believe they can bomb the other side into submission. Similar to what he said about the Houthis about dropping bombs until the they stop the blockade
Look at what was needed in Desert Storm as a comparison.
