BREAKING: The Pentagon reportedly about to ask Congress for ~$50 billion in extra funds for the special military operation in Iran.
There are no reliable partners for Russia, except China. India has already sided with the Israel and USA. India needs USA help to for future sindoor.
In modern warfare, navy ships and tanks are outdated. military planes and ballistic missiles will do 90% of the work. Navy ships are only good for protecting the aircraft carrier but it needs to stay far away from your enemy due to anti ship missile.. Like what US is doing right now, the aircraft carrier is parked at the Indian ocean while it still gives the navy fighter jets enough distance to hit Iran.
In a combat, fighter jets will out duel navy ships.

No one has ever suggested the US will run out of munitions. The key here isn't how many bombs they can drop, it's how quickly they can deplete Iranian missile and drone capabilities vs how quickly Iran can replace them. Without sufficient interceptors, the effect of Iranian attacks will be magnified, putting even more pressure on the American side.
JDAMs are only good for air support for ground invasion or terror bombings, none of Irans underground facilities are reachale by JDAM, and no nameplate buildings or bases are still occupied.
Iran is fighting a war with strikes on key strategic and tactical targets and depleting high value enemy munitions with expectation of a long war. USIS is fighting a terror campaign hoping Iran will surrender over their children being killed.
Just going by distance, they can make maybe 1 sortie with refueling to drop a JDAM on a fixed target on the coast. No loitering or real time air support. Not even close to what Russia is doing in Ukraine with FABs.
An American submarine, presumably a Virginia-class submarine, sank the Iranian frigate Dena, a Mowj-class submarine, in the Indian Ocean as it returned from a naval parade in India. The frigate, reportedly a destroyer, belongs to the Iranian Navy. The 1,500-ton Dena, launched in 2015, is technical information available on the screen and in the video description. The Iranian frigate Dena was sunk by a presumably American 533-mm Mk48 ADCAP torpedo fired from a Virginia-class nuclear-powered attack submarine off the coast of Sri Lanka.

I think the risk for the Ford is if Hezbollah decides to wipe out their C.802's and have a go at it like they did with the israeli corvettes.
Sinking of IRIS Dena makes America look weak and like pussies.
It was a tiny frigate returning from an Indian exercise, and wasn't even directly involved in the war
Over a 100 deaths on a defenceless target
It really doesn't make America look tough which is what Hegseth is pretending to be
