A mountain range sits between Baghdad and Tehran.
Iraq is mainly low-lying flat terrain, perfect for tanks and maneuver warfare.
Iran is high plateaus and mountains.
Turkey and Iraq border Iran.
If you stage in Kuwait, like last time, you still have to roll through Iraq to enter Iran.
Politics.
The talking news heads are talking about putting boots on the ground in Iran like it's some magical light switch that you just flip.
It takes months to gather the forces and equipment they will need.
Where are you going to stage 150,000 soldiers?
Probably can't use Strait of Hormuz.

This is like those blast doors in Star Wars that close in 1 second but take 60 seconds to open.
"Open the blast doors! Open the blast doors!"
Ukraine blasts one LNG ship and the world loses its mind.
Behold the power of one small naval drone.

Stranger, I sense truth behind your words.
Surely the people in your lands must be hale, hearty, and pleasing to the eye.
Pass, friend, and be at peace in my lands.
So the news from the Iranian front is muddled with chances of muddle.

Iranian Shahed strike drones are a little bit more coherent.
They make lots of them.
They have lots of them.
They can be launched from anywhere.
Except nobody knows how many manufacturing plants they have or where they all are or if they're being destroyed.
It is partially muddled.
Whether or not the reduced launches of Iranian ballistic missiles is because they're running low or they are conserving for later use when the U.S. and other nations run low on or out of interceptors.
It is muddled.
It's impossible to put together a coherent picture of Iranian ballistic missile capabilities from open source news reports.
Conflicting information on how many missiles Iran has, how many it can make, how many launchers Iran has, how many launchers have been destroyed.
Are you trying to tell me that Trump's war distraction is working?
I... can't... breathe...
A nuke in every pot.

No worries, man.
No worries.
Trump said he's creating a working group and maybe even a task force to look into this matter and straighten things out.
Everything will be fixed in 2 weeks.
2 weeks.
And tonight's award for hardest throw under the bus goes to...

Do their religious fanatic lunatics speak in tongues like ours?
I think we're one-up on them.
Oh boy.
It gets worse the longer you look at it.
And in the same breath, on the same phone call, Trump is pleading with Zelensky to send him some help in defending American bases in the Middle East from Iranian Shahed drones.
Trump is mental.
Good old FOX News.
Old dog.
Old tricks.
It looks like it was designed to explain interceptor drones to someone with a 6th grade level of reading and comprehension.
Someone like Trump.
Or anyone in the Trump administration, really.

I'll bet that Zelensky had the biggest shit-eating expression on his face when he received this request and approved it.
Like a really, really smug look.
A huge grin.
He looks at one of his aides and they all start laughing.
For a long time.
"We received a request from the U.S. for specific support in protection against "shaheds" in the Middle East region. I gave instructions to provide the necessary means and ensure the presence of Ukrainian specialists who can guarantee the required security,"

If B-52's were sentient and we could understand them, one of them would be looking down at Iran while flying overhead dropping bombs and saying "Fuck, man, this shit seems really familiar to me. I've been here before, man. Deja fucking vu."

Currently there are B-52 bombers flying over Iran.
You may know these are old aircraft, but do you remember how old?
The last B-52H was built in 1962.
