The Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations has warned that Hezbollah's response to Israel's assassination of one of its top commanders, Fuad Shukr, in a suburb of Lebanon's capital city Beirut on Tuesday may result in the militant group attacking much "broader and deeper" civilian as well as military targets inside Israel.

They seriously just sent a carrier *into* the Gulf? If things do kick off, even if it is against Iran, I don't think that's very wise lol.

The Roosevelt left the Persian Gulf and entered the Gulf of Oman; see the image of the ships located that I posted in this same comment

Iran is no US, but it doesn't need to be, because US cannot use everything it has on Iran.

The US does not need to use everything it has to penalize Iran.

Let's assume that Iran has a total of 3,000 individual military targets for the US to bomb.

500-800 total fighters
300-500 USAF fighters
150-300 USN/USMC fighters
50 USAF bombers

Within the total fighters deployed, the following are available:
120 F-22A
410 F-35A
160 F-35B
80 F35C

600 aircraft flying 300 sorties per day could total a 14-day strategic air bombing campaign, thus generating 150 sorties per day for this purpose with the rest of the sorties for refueling, in total, in a 14-day campaign, 2,000 sorties launching +4,000 JASSM against Iran. This does not even include the sorties of bombers (B-1B, B-2A and B-52H) which average around 20 JASSM. About 50% of all sorties would be by REVO aircraft, as evidenced in 2003, when 268 REVO aircraft flew 9,064 sorties, totaling 44% of the 20,733 of all sorties of the air campaign.

The inventory:
5,500 JASSM/ER
5,000 Tomahawk
500-700 SLAM-ER
37,800 SDB
6,300 Stormbreakers
5,900 JSOWs
650,000 guided bombs

Potential bases used -
Jordan:
Muwaffaq Salti Air Base/Azraq (F-15/16/22/35A/B/C/18)(RQ -4/MQ-9) - 1,400 km from Tehran

Saudi Arabia -
King Fahad Air Base/Taif (F-15/16/22/35A/B/C/18) - 1,900 km from Tehran
King Khalid Air Base/Khamis Mushayt (F-15/16/22/35A/B/C/18)(RQ-4/MQ-9) - 2,100 km from Tehran
Prince Sultan Air Base/Al-Kharj (F-15/16/22/35A/B/C/18)(RQ-4/MQ-9) /5)(B-52/1/2) - 1,300 km from Tehran
King Faisal Air Base/Tabuk (F-15/16/22/35A/B/C/18) - 1,600 km from Tehran
Prince Abdullah Air Base/Jeddah (C-130/17/5)(JSTARS/E-3/RC-135/KC-135/10/46)(B-52/1/2) - 1,900 km from Tehran

Turkey -
Incirlik Air Base/Adana (F-15/16/22/35A/B/C/18)(JSTARS/E-3/RC-135/KC-135/10/46)(C-130/17/5) - 1,400 km from Tehran

Djibouti -
Camp Lemonnier (F-15/16/22/35A/B/C/18) - 2,800 km from Tehran

Diego Garcia -
Naval Support Facility (C-130/17/5)(JSTARS/E-3/RC-135/KC-135/10/46)(B-52/1/2) - 5,200 km from Tehran

Cyprus -
RAF Akrotiri (F-15/16/22/35A/B/C/18)(RQ-4/MQ-9)(JSTARS/E-3/RC-135/KC-135/10/46) - 1,600 km from Tehran

As we can see, this does not even represent 50% of the total strength of the US aerospace power.

US spends a trillion dollars (if counting black project money) on defense every year. A trillion dollars/year.

Iran’s total GDP is how much? And the Houthis.

The who??

Ethnocentric States tends to be irrational on their Foreign Policy decision-making anyway
So far, has Israel reached a fully total war economy?

Houthis are the "nobodies" that are continuing to disrupt the red sea in spite of US threats and it's 1 trillion MIC.

Never heard of them. Last time I checked, Walmart shelves still fully stocked.

Disruptions that rises prices for importers who past it down to European and Israeli consumers

Also, why are you gloating about Walmart. They don’t operate in the EU or do you think trade from Asia travels through the Atlantic Ocean instead of the Pacific Ocean.
