We went 10X harder than 2025, so brace for ten times the mess.

Back in June, Operation Midnight Hammer was surgical: seven B-2s dropped 14 of those thirty-thousand-pound GBU-57 on three main nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, Isfahan.

Fast-forward to February - Operation Roaring Lion / Epic Fury.

We’re talking hundreds of targets across Iran: Tehran compounds, missile bases, air defenses, naval stuff, even leadership hits like Khamenei’s place.

Israel alone flew 200 jets—biggest sortie ever—dropping over 1200 bombs in twenty-four hours. US added B-2s again, Tomahawks, drones, HIMARS. Analysts call it the biggest US Mideast op since Iraq.

Iran hitting back at Gulf bases?

That was US green-lit or at least tolerated proxy stuff, like strikes on Qatar-linked assets last time.

So how could it be different this time?

Bottom line: a ten-x punch invites ten-x chaos.

Hence the regional blowback, oil spikes, proxies everywhere.

Will garner sympathy?
