🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. is hitting Iran with strikes four to five times BIGGER than anything since the ceasefire, in the middle of the funeral commemorations.
Trump approved the plan from Ankara, per Axios, huddled with Hegseth, Rubio, Bessent and Gen. Caine on the sidelines of the NATO summit.
CENTCOM says the wave answers Iran striking THREE ships in 36 hours, including a Qatari LNG carrier hit amidships by a drone.
Malcolm Nance's chilling aside: had that tanker been loaded, you'd be looking at an all-hands-lost fireball.
Empty was the message.
The targets, per a US official: air defenses, coastal radar, anti-ship missile sites, drone launchers, ports.
Explosions rolling across Sirik, Qeshm, Bandar Abbas.
Moments earlier, Treasury revoked the oil waivers, and Tehran fired back that the revocation itself breaches the MOU.
Each side now holds a signed document accusing the other of tearing it up.
Malcolm has watched this loop since he was 26, and his verdict hasn't budged: the geography favors Iran, the tunnels survive, every round resets the clock.
After a package this size, he expects Tehran to skip symbolic tarmac strikes and escalate where it hurts, possibly sinking the next vessel that runs the Omani corridor.
His question hangs over the night: what exactly does hitting rebuilt rubble buy?
