On Sunday, the US targeted two rocket launchers on a key island in the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. strikes marked the first known attack by American forces since late July, and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC, said several of its “fighters and compatriots” had been killed and injured in the assault.
As a result, Iran’s IRGC said it launched attacks on US military positions in Jordan following a US attack on Larak Island. Jordan claimed it intercepted eight missiles that entered the country’s airspace on Monday. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
The Idiot in Chief took to his shithole, ‘Truth’ Social and stated:
He also spoke to some dipshit on Fox ‘News’ to talk about Iran’s attack on Jordan:

Military leaders warn Hegseth against extending Iran war operations
A recent classified assessment advised that prolonged large-scale operations in the Middle East risk weakening U.S. capabilities elsewhere.
Several U.S. military leaders have advised Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that prolonging large-scale operations against Iran is unsustainable and risks weakening their ability to confront threats elsewhere, including the U.S. homeland, according to people familiar with a recent assessment prepared for the Pentagon chief.
The warnings — detailed for Hegseth by the heads of the Army, Navy and Air Force and the four-star commanders overseeing U.S. operations throughout Europe, Asia and Latin America — appear in the Aug. 14 edition of the Secretary of Defense Orders Book (SDOB), these people said. They described the assessment to The Washington Post on the condition of anonymity because the document is classified.
The Aug. 14 orders book directs some troops deployed in the Middle East to remain there through September and some others into 2027, said those familiar with the document. The prospect of extending those forces further compelled military leaders to voice their concern, these people said.

Pentagon Hires Conservative Veterans, Influencers Into Unspecified Roles
The Pentagon has reportedly hired conservative military veterans with large social media followings to unspecified government positions.
The Washington Post reported late Sunday that the Pentagon hired two conservative commentators—Rob Maness, a retired Air Force colonel with more than 135,000 X followers, and Kurt Schlichter, a retired Army colonel with 620,000 X followers—to work in Anthony Tata, the undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness.
The reports raise questions about transparency and Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s intentions in office. The former Fox News co-host has made efforts to influence the public’s perception of the Pentagon, including hiring right-wing press corps to cover the government department while ostracizing other news outlets, leading to lawsuits.
