All eyes are on the US military, as the Pentagon moves more assets to West Asia, amid warnings from Iran that direct strikes from the US will be met with “irreparable damage”.
But according to US President Donald Trump, “We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran.”
And according to US Senator Ted Cruz, “We are carrying out military strikes.”
Retired US Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor noted that while the US is already at war with Iran, the question of direct strikes is not about “if”, but about “when” at this point. [The US has since carried out air strikes on Iran in the last 24 hours.]
