WASHINGTON — Each day since the start of the war in Iran, U.S. military officials compile a video update for President Donald Trump that shows video of the biggest, most successful strikes on Iranian targets over the previous 48 hours, three current U.S. officials and a former U.S. official said.
The daily montage typically runs for about two minutes, sometimes longer, the officials said. One described each daily video as a series of clips of “stuff blowing up.”
The highlight reel of U.S. Central Command bombing Iranian equipment and military sites isn’t the only briefing Trump gets about the war. He’s also updated through conversations with top military and intelligence advisers, foreign leaders and news reports, the officials said.
But the video briefing is fueling concerns among some of Trump’s allies that he may not be receiving — or absorbing — the complete picture of the war, now in its fourth week, two of the current officials and the former official said.
They said the videos are also driving Trump’s increasing frustration with news coverage of the war. Trump has pointed to the success depicted in the daily videos to privately question why his administration can’t better influence the public narrative, asking aides why the news media doesn’t emphasize what he’s seeing, one of the current U.S. officials and the former U.S. official said.
If you only watch the highlight reels Butch Jones was super successful at Tennessee.No wonder he thinks it's going amazingly well

"There is no talks or negotiations between Iran and the United States," and there have "not been such negotiations for the past 25 days of the illegal war against Iran," Baghaei said. "No one can trust U.S. diplomacy."
Well, no one ever thought they would fly two commercial air carriers into the world trade towers either…or the pentagon. I wouldn’t discount anything. I find it more likely, though, that they try to get vessels, by way of water under false pretenses with dirty nukes, close to major port cities(NYC, Boston, LA, San Diego, Seattle, etc.) and energy installations on the coast to be detonated all at once.Too detectable and too slow. Back to the evil genius drawing board.
another viable plan, imo.Well, no one ever thought they would fly two commercial air carriers into the world trade towers either…or the pentagon. I wouldn’t discount anything.

imagine nuclear material attached to a 'fertilizer bomb' that detonated in the Beirut port a few years ago. Would do a lot of damage and spread radioactive material for miles. So many targets available in America by ship.
Man this is standard OP for the government folks. The types of puff pieces I used to have to put together for SES's is why I'm changing course now. It's just wrong.No wonder he thinks it's going amazingly well

...and so many ports we (Americans) don't actually control.another viable plan, imo.
