Matt Bracken joined with a distinction the coverage keeps blurring.
The radars Iran destroyed on the Gulf side were hundred-foot domes that watched deep into Iranian airspace for missile launches.
The "radar sites" America is striking on Iran's coast are the kind a ten-meter fishing boat carries, and one man on a cliff with a set on his back, a battery and a phone gives Tehran a fresh picture of the entire strait.
Iranian boats were reading ship names off sterns with spotlights this week before firing.
A hundred sites hit, against room for thousands.
The coast itself is the weapon, fractal cliffs and canyons fifty kilometers deep, a porcupine that has defeated navies since the Portuguese, wrapped 270 degrees around the Omani shoulder.
Then the card still in Iran's hand. Its sea-skimming anti-ship missiles, the ones built to kill destroyers, haven't been used.
Any ship within 500 kilometers could have been saturated by now, and the read is that the restraint is strategic:
"You must administer death by a thousand cuts"
