The information the president receives tends to emphasize U.S. successes, with little detail about Iranian actions, one official said.
Each day since the start of the war in Iran, U.S. military officials compile a video update for Donald Trump that shows video of the biggest, most successful strikes on Iranian targets over the previous 48 hours, three current U.S. officials and a former U.S. official said.
The daily montage typically runs for about two minutes, sometimes longer, the officials said. One described each daily video as a series of clips of “stuff blowing up.”
The highlight reel of U.S. Central Command bombing Iranian equipment and military sites isn’t the only briefing Trump gets about the war. He’s also updated through conversations with top military and intelligence advisers, foreign leaders and news reports, the officials said.
Iran has total control over SoH, and total control over the economic survival of GCC allies of US, and of their access to drinking water, which would be certain to get both population and military of those countries to Khadaffi their monarchies, and regime change their way to an alliance with Iran.
While his plan to give 5 days for Iran to surrender without compromise is DOA, it was done to avoid “unleashing hell” on global economy. Before the threat to Iran energy infrastructure saturday, there was the perfect Friday plan: Declare victory and leave, and let the world figure out how to open SoH. Very easy for the world to do.
