https://understandingwar.org/research/middle-east/iran-update-february-3-202... Unless the U.S. can get access to Saudi/Omani/UAE/Qatari/Bahrain bases for air strikes on Iran, this is going to be a Navy show with support from B1s and B2s. My gut says the IDF will play but to do it, the campaign planner in me says the Navy needs 3 carriers and that’s the problem…. Another problem is ordnance. I suspect we don’t have enough in theater and to get it there takes time. If I were the Strike Commander, right now, I’d want to know where both the IRGC’s Kilo subs are. If they are in the IO, then I’d want a fast attack in trail with a firing solution dialed in.
