🇨🇺❌🇺🇸❗️ — According to the New York Times, citing an unnamed U.S. official, the vessel fired on by the Cuban Border Guard was part of a Cuban exilees flotilla to extract relatives out of Cuba and wasn't escorted by US Navy or Coast Guard assets

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 Currently flying USAF cargo flights to/from bases near CENTCOM AOR including Al-Udeid, Muwaffaq Salti Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti, and Chania airport while the total number of flights related to the build up of forces in the Middle East has almost reached 300

📝 Shivan Mahendrarajah: 300 flights seem impressive, but when I calculated weight for ca. 257 flights, it was ca. 15,000 metric tons. In 2003, sealift was 2 mil mt ex-fuel (ofc, armor, artillery, helos, etc. added in weight). Airlift is inefficient.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷⚡️ — NEW: Senior advisers to President Trump would prefer that Israel strike Iran before the United States takes direct military action, as they believe an initial Israeli attack could provoke Iranian retaliation and help build domestic support among American voters for a subsequent U.S. strike, POLITICO reports.

➡️ Even so, the most likely outcome may be a coordinated U.S.-Israel operation. Those close to the president reportedly view military action as a serious possibility, with one person describing the prevailing mindset as "we're going to bomb them.”

➡️ The scale of any attack remains under debate. Key concerns include the risk of draining U.S. munitions stockpiles, potentially giving China an opportunity to move against Taiwan, and the prospect of American casualties if Washington opts for a more aggressive, regime-change-level assault.

"Hezbollah will not intervene if the U.S. launches limited strikes against Iran".
