Defensive Action by the US - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 10.32pm post the following, " US conducted 'defensive' strikes against at least two locations in Iran, American official says

Let's Get Real:

The US waiting for Iran's response to its latest peace plan, thus every action by Iran is seen as a skirmish in the words of Trump.  The Trump Oval wants out of the War before Trump's visit to China and the Mid Terms.  The price of gas has gone up and inflation is making harder for Americans to pay their bills.  The Democrats are using affordability against the Trump Oval, thus a weak Trump wants out of the War.

Explosions in Iran - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 10.16pm post the following, " Iranian state media says explosions in multiple Iranian cities "

Let's Get Real:

The US is calling the action defensive, POTUS is desperate to end the WAR he started, he needs a clear victory.  The main points are that the Strait of Hormuz has to be clear for oil tankers and Iran has to give up its nuclear stockpile.  Anything less would be a PR disaster for Trump before the Mid Terms in November.
