| 2 | 🪽 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 US Air Bases in the Iran War
https://www.amerikanets.com/p/debasification | 1 682 |
| 3 | 📝 🇮🇷 🇺🇸 Debasification: Iranian air war strategy
The broad picture of the Iranian air war in this phase has been a steady wave of concentrated missile and drone strikes sweeping its way across the region. In contrast to the previous hot phase of the war, in which Iran targeted bases across the entire theater simultaneously, this wave started with the targets close to Iranian shores, and has progressed steadily to the Israeli border. After destroying much of the radar network protecting regional US Axis bases in the previous hot phase of the war, Iranian planners have prioritized targeting fuel storage, drone hangers, refueling tankers, and barracks. The American response has been to pull assets back ever further from Iran, to bases in Israel and Jordan. We’ll call this process debasification. Iran’s debasification strategy takes advantage of the inherent asymmetry between the vastly different force structure and capabilities of Iranian rocket forces and US Axis air forces.
The first asymmetry we’ll cover is the American need for casualty avoidance. Political support for the war is low, and US narratives to shore it up hinge on overwhelming American superiority and a perception of the war presenting minimal risk. Casualties and the loss of major assets fly in the face of this narrative and erode support for the war. The Department of War clearly takes this seriously, as evidenced by their decision to evacuate the most vulnerable bases (moving personnel to hotels) before the war began. When the US force in the region has taken major risks by leaving valuable assets in the open at bases subject to Iranian targeting, the results have been disastrous, with the loss of near-irreplaceable assets like the E-3 Sentry destroyed on the tarmac at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. Iranian military sources claimed to have damaged refueling tankers on the ground at Al Udeid in Qatar, Al Kharj in Saudi Arabia, and Muwaffaq Salti in Jordan in a single wave of attacks on Friday.
Multiple US personnel were killed and as many as dozens injured two days ago in an Iranian missile attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan. Subsequent disclosures from the New York Times revealed that this was the fourth Iranian attack on Jordan to result in casualties and major losses of air assets in the previous week. A strike on King Faisal Air Base days prior wounded five, and another attack on a base—unidentified by the NYT but confirmed by mappers to be Prince Hassan Air Base—damaged multiple Black Hawk helicopters on the ground. Then, 20 personnel were wounded in an attack on Muwaffaq Salti on the 16th. The attack that killed at least two US personnel occurred the next day.
The next line of bases for US air forces to fall back to is within Israel itself. While falling back to Israel will bring US assets within the protective range of Israeli air defenses, it isn’t clear that the Israelis want any part in this phase of the war. There’s also little reason to think they’ve been able to replenish their own interceptor stocks in the brief pause in the fighting, and the IDF was facing a crisis in that area before the pause. Even when interceptors were more plentiful, the Israelis were unable to fully protect their own airbases.

| 5 | 🇺🇸📈 The cost of financing US debt is rapidly rising:
On Tuesday, the US sold 30-year Treasury bonds at a 5.06% yield, the highest auction result since 2007.
At the same time, the 30-year Treasury yield jumped back above 5.00%, though it remains below the May 20th peak of 5.20%, the highest since July 2007.
By comparison, auctions for the same maturity were priced at around 2.00% in early 2022.
Long-term yields are increasing as the US debt burden expands, with heavier Treasury supply, rising inflation risks, and concerns over future borrowing needs forcing the government to pay more to attract investors.
Furthermore, the AI investment boom is adding another layer of pressure, as tech companies issue record amounts of debt to fund AI infrastructure, competing with the government for the same pool of capital and pushing long-term borrowing costs higher.
The US debt crisis is intensifying.

| 7 | 🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — The Pentagon is planning for a "wider war" and has been increasing the number of military aircraft deployed to the region, according to WaPo, citing a U.S. official.
➡️ The official said any expansion of U.S. operations would be constrained by dwindling stockpiles of air defense and long-range munitions, as well as limits on the military's ability to surge additional troops and aircraft into the region due to battle damage.
"We do not have enough to safely sustain operations, and I don't think the White House is aware of that," the official said. | 3 272 |

| 19 | 📝: The U.S. losing 4 MQ-9 Reapers in 48 hours, all in border areas of Iran, areas which should have been cleared of air defenses, greatly reduce the U.S' ability to gather intelligence on military movements in Iran.
This is the likely reason for the USAF not seeking out transport erector launchers (TELs) and air defense systems which are mobile and instead focuses on static targets like bridges, cell towers, piers & other structures which can be identified through satellite imagery.
Without a significant campaign to clear out Iran's air defenses, if the U.S. is to resume full scale warfare, it will still have to rely on the depleted inventories of AGM-158 JASSM Tomahawk cruise missiles and its variants and that is why the U.S. has kept its strikes limited in scope and stuck to the Iranian coast where glide bombs and other less expensive bombs can be used.
