Iran-Israeli Conflict Thread

What are the benefits to the USA? I don't really agree with it, but I expect the attack on Venezuela and this war are necessary for the sanctions regime. That said, is it benefitting the USA at this point? I think that this conflict is exemplifying some of the US military's strategic weaknesses, like moving Patriot missiles out of South Korea for use in the Middle East. We keep raising the military budget and yet there will always be a deficit in protecting our power projection around the globe.
Professor John Mearsheimer:
The war is wasting vast amounts of advanced weaponry like Patriots, that could have been bought by Europe to send to Ukraine.
The Russians know that this is having a deleterious effect on the Ukrainian war effort.
The sharp reduction of oil and LNG from the Middle East is causing a huge demand for Russian energy, massively boosting their economy.
The IEA plans a massive release of oil reserves, in a bid to lower soaring prices. How long will these last? US reserves are already reportedly below 50%, as they were not restored when the US had a chance to do so.
How many small torpedo/missile launcher naval craft do the Iranians keep in underground tunnels? These could presumably also be used to lay what appear to be mines shown in the footage. It is hard to tell if the same boats are shown repeatedly, and if they only have a handful stored away.

Iraqi resistance claims to have killed 13 US soldiers.
More satellite images of the destruction at Camp Buehring US base in Kuwait.
IRGC: The US/Israel coalition bombed a civilian bank on Haghani Highway, Tehran, killing several employees. In response, Iran warns the region to stay away from US/Israeli affiliated banks, as they have now become targets.

Bro, could you give up on the super creative weird-speak and just write in normal sentences? It's getting a bit tedious and long-winded, we get it, you're a super smart creative writer inventing his own style with cut and paste "journalism" and AI. Just state your case simply without trying so hard to be different.
That's a big discrepancy in price. Which is it, 20K or 50K? Are you sure it isn't 22,864 dollars and 62 cents?
Reports of three vessels having been struck by unknown projectiles around the Strait of Hormuz.
US Senator Chris Murphy, following a two-hour classified briefing: The goal is no longer the nuclear program or regime change. It is the destruction of missiles, drone factories, and boats, with no planned end point. Effectively, endless war, as Iran will keep producing these assets.
The administration is panicking over the Strait of Hormuz, and have no plan. They do not know how to get it safely back open. "Unforgivable, as this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable."
