It is interesting that the bridge was hit in 3 places.
Each end of the bridge and the very middle.
What was left alone was all the concrete columns that support the bridge. I am quite certain that was a precision strike.
It was decided to not totally destroy the bridge but just take it out of commission.
Just throwing that out there.
For some reason I thought it was interesting.

Let me help you out because we all know you're a complete moron.

THE BRIDGE WILL NEED TO BE COMPLETELY REBUILT.

You can't just throw a top back on it. It's not how bridges, especially with concrete and metal, work.

Is that what Trump is doing? Chickening out?
Or is he deliberately giving them repeated chances to back down before things escalate further?
This doesn't look like hesitation to me. It looks like applied pressure.
The problem is clerics whose authority depends on never backing down, regardless of who pays the price.

Again, you're an idiot.

Iran holds all the cards.

Trump knows he can't invade because the loss of troop life would be catastrophic. We'd need well over a million troops to control the country. 4x the size of Iraq. Surrounded by mountains. 2x the population. And a military that is trained for asymmetric warfare.

Trump can only lob a few missiles.

IRAN can SHUT DOWN the Middle East anytime it wants. Take out a few desalination plants and no more water. Half these countries get 70-80% of their water from these plants. No more oil for 3-5 years. Take out some oil refineries, no more oil for 2-4 years. Iran can shut down the Strait of Hormuz again, no more oil or fertilizer. 20% of BOTH come through that Strait.

And you MAGA FIRED all the top generals who understood the situation.

So Trump either TACOs out or destroys the world economy and ours.

And idiots like YOU put him in charge.
