Another day, another set of military attacks

Iran’s IRGC has said that it attacked “enemy bases in the region”, hitting them with “aerospace missiles”, in a statement carried by Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency.

The IRGC said the attacks were in response to US army aggression against the Iranian city of Sirik and Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz. (al jazeera)

They aren't cowed. While not a fait accompli, I think there is at least a 20% chance this ends with Iran destroying the Gulf's oil infrastructure and desalinization to such an extent the world is completely unprepared.
