Again I’ll just repeat your theory is plausible but so is the theory of limited strike capability.

How can we differentiate one from the other?

I’m not advocating one or the other. I’m just trying to be objective. I see both theories are plausible. I am looking for reasons / arguments to prove / disprove one or the other. I don’t think it’s useful to commit to the more comfortable theory when the uncomfortable theory is still highly plausible.

It is plausible that Iran is slow-rolling their strikes to maximize attrition.

It is plausible that Iran has limited strike capability.

It is plausible that Iran is seeking to manage escalation by limiting strikes.

I don’t see any way of determining which of these theories is correct.

How?

Because at first many now not so many

Your thesis is a plausible explanation.

But limited capacity remains a plausible explanation.

We can’t tell.

I hated Glenn Beck when he was a raving lunatic but I hate “I’m a serious intellectual” Glenn Beck even more.

China is being unusually assertive, supplying Iran with missives, deploying naval radar ships to the Persian gulf, and pressuring Oman to close their airspace to the US.

I think Xi knows the best way to play Donald is to treat him like a school yard bully. He’s more insecure than you are and he will only hit you if you look like a weak target, so escalates in the losers face and he will TACO.

India has pursued a policy of triangulation for most of a century now and that will continue.

They will partly align with both the west and the east in different ways, and will never take a hard line for or against either the west or the east.

They might be able to print more money but they can’t print more missiles. The military can go bankrupt.
