The latest satellite imagery confirms a sobering reality: since the onset of hostilities, Iran has successfully struck no fewer than 20 US military installations across the region. This is not a pinprick. It is a coordinated, methodical campaign targeting force projection nodes.
The Pentagon's silence on systemic damage speaks volumes. Each hit degrades our logistics tail, command and control, and air defence networks. The enemy is reading our playbook and countering our pivots.
We are losing the initiative. Every day of operational pause allows Tehran to consolidate. This is a strategic inflection point.
The question is not if we respond, but how we prevent a siege mentality.
