Well, howdy there internet people, it's Beau again.
So today we are going to talk about Biden, the United States, Iran, and high wire acts
and how everything is going.
We will talk about the U.S. response and what that really means and just kind of run through
everything if you have no idea what I'm talking about because it hasn't been something we've
been really covering on the channel.
Over the last, I don't know, about a week, Iranian-backed forces have been hitting U.S.
installations in the Middle East, low-key stuff for the most part.
And the first few, the U.S. just kind of shrugged off.
They seemed to be progressing, so the United States, Biden, ordered a response.
The actual location that was hit was in Syria, but it was an Iranian Revolutionary Guard
facility.
If I have this right, it looks like it was an armory.
That's good news in the sense that it's a military facility, therefore there shouldn't
be any civilian lost.
We'll wait and see on that.
So basically, right now, the United States, the Biden administration, is trying to not
inflame tensions, but at the same time, can't be seen to just ignore multiple hits on US
facilities.
This is something that is about as low-key a response as possible, but also incredibly
costly, the stuff in the armory, probably expensive.
So that's the basic dynamics here.
Biden and the administration, their key thing is trying to stop what is happening
in the region from spreading.
That's the goal.
A large-scale response to the hits by Iranian-backed forces, that's one of those things that could
have helped escalate.
Taking a low-key approach, I mean I get it, from a foreign policy standpoint they had
to do something, taking a low-key approach within those confines, best option.
I feel like if they know when any potential ground offensive was going to occur, or if
they know one isn't going to occur, or at least it not be full-scale, something like
that, that might have played into this a little bit because if they were aware of when it
was supposed to happen, they probably would have delayed.
So my guess is while Israeli politicians are saying, you know, we've got it, we're ready,
you know, all of this stuff, the date may not be sent or they didn't share the date
with the US.
There might be some reluctance to share information with the executive branch of the U.S. after
recent developments, but that's where everything stands.
My understanding was a couple of F-16s, for whatever reason, when asked, the Pentagon
wouldn't say what they used or how many, which was odd, but I don't know that there's
anything to read into there yet. And from the reports, they hit the armory.
So that's where we're at. Now we have to wait and see what Iranian-backed
forces do in response to the response as the cycle continues. But all of this is
is low volume compared to the potential ground offensive.
That's what everybody's really waiting on and how Tehran reads that.
Anyway, it's just a thought.
Y'all have a good day.
