Missile and drone launches are down by 92% from the start of the war so it's clear the IRGC are running low on munitions, Israel have taken out the bulk of launchers but being mobile there's still some to go. Drones are an unknown number as far as I know.
I think there at the halfway mark.

They was supplyng drones to Russia only weeks ago, they dont take too long to get a batch ready, cheaper than missiles and as effective
 
Just read a very interesting article in the Spectator about how the Iran/Russia/Venezuela situation has put China on the back foot, financially and politically.
Enough to give Trump the upper hand when him and Xi meet in a few weeks time.

I've read articles over the past few weeks arguing it both ways. The analysis in the Spectator is obvious but simplistic. China has always known Iran was extremely vulnerable, so it has never been a critical partner for China. Venezuela was small beer.

I saw an aticle - can't find it now - saying how Iran produces drones of many types in many places, too many to just go wipe out.

As long as they can get together a few , and they can get a proportion through to ships and oil refineries in surrounding countries, then can be a real PITA to Trump and the oil supply for a long time. A single drone would probably put paid to the trans Saudi pipeline, too.
They may not be able to actually hit many ships in the straits, so Trumpinsurance would be the way out. He hasn't fixed that yet

There are a lot of ships out at sea, it'll take a while for the pips to start squeezing.
Hence some are saying the price could double, later.
It's about 3-4 weeks when reserves HAVE to be used., though Korea has about 90 days, Japan170 days, of reserves.

Hurry up and wait and see.
 
They are in this for the long haul, partly for self preservation and partly to harm Trumpf’s electoral prospects.

They will certainly try their best to survive. You got that bit right.
Trumps electoral prospects?
Give your head a shake, man!
They aren't a western country. They have polar opposite views, and Trump is out in a couple of years no matter what they do.
 
Mean while afaik you have Macron posing on a French air craft carrier off the coast of cypress !!!

Whilst a Uk working destroyer that has just been patched up has just left its port

Full speed ahead and it could be there in 4 days (?)

But due to cut backs and the cost of diesel it won’t be going full speed ahead it’s limping along so will take longer

UK have a couple of air craft carriers one is broken down and the other one has a leak
 
Deep penetrating munitions have been used today from long range bombers to hit the mad mullers underground missile production facilities
