Ash Oro @ashoro.co.uk · 23/04/20266/10 The worst take frankly: “Kill the faction that won’t agree.” Iran isn’t two neat factions. It’s overlapping power structures: Clerical Military (including the IRGC) Political Decapitation doesn’t simplify this. It usually escalates it. 180
Ash Oro @ashoro.co.uk · 23/04/20267/10 Claim: US can “open Hormuz by force.” You can’t just declare a Strait open. You have already tried this to obvious results. Iran’s advantage is area denial: Mines Missiles Drones Fast boats Geography You can contest access. You cannot guarantee it. #Shipping #Maritime 190
Ash Oro @ashoro.co.uk · 23/04/20268/10 and finally the stupidest claim: finish the job in about 14 days. War doesn’t work like a checklist. Targets regenerate. Tactics adapt. Risk compounds. One successful asymmetric strike changes everything. There is no clean “end state” on a timeline. 171
