They definitely have recon satellites put in orbit for them by Russia.
I think the Trump administration is shocked that the people did not rise up and evict their government-- the US did not seem to grasp the psychological effect of the Regime murdering 10,000+ Iranians. IMO, that resistance was broken by those killings.
I think the US war planners are trying to find a balance between smashing the F out of all Iranian military (that they can find), and NOT putting the full population in greatest hardship (avoiding hitting power and water).
I DO think the Trump DOD is finding that their estimates of Iran's capabilities were wrong-- this is not a walk through Venezuela.
I also think that Iran is showing the weaknesses of "Iron Dome" and similar defenses-- overwhelm them with cluster bombs.
I also think I still want a beer.
DoD, US Intelligence operations have spent decades running war games on the Gulf ..
Granted there are always errors in the analysis, yet I do feel those in the US Military has played the worse case scenario numerous times and thus we've held off on this for 47 years
I believe the Risk / Reward calculations and the expectations of the Iranian Regime being challenged internally at this point in time, with Russia weak, with Iran already hit hard in the 12 day war .. looked like an opportune time for this.
This war will last much longer than what we were told as the Iranian Regime and IRGC is fully dedicated to keeping control and have no issues about the world getting into trouble as that fits their belief system for their Religion.
( Honestly, I would not want Jim Jones to have nukes .. )
LOL...
When you lose control of the news, create your own!
Think Before You Download The White House App
If you’re downloading a government-made app onto your phone, at least understand what you’re handing over.
Apps don’t just sit there. Depending on what you allow, they can collect your location, track your behavior, map your contacts, and build a pretty detailed picture of your daily life.
That’s how apps work, and as a targeter that’s what we exploit.
Now add one layer people like to ignore: this isn’t some random tech company. A government already has access to multiple data streams and systems. An app just makes it easier to connect dots that were previously separate.
And before anyone says we’ll just don’t grant permissions, most people don’t even read them. They click accept and move on. Location set to always on, background activity running, notifications pinging constantly. You’ve basically agreed to passive monitoring without thinking twice.
The bigger issue isn’t what they say they’re collecting TODAY. It’s what happens to that data TOMORROW. Policies change. Priorities shift. Data doesn’t disappear.
Don’t be careless. And if you’re going to put something like this on your phone, please do the following: -Turn off anything you don’t absolutely need; -Limit location to while using; -Deny contacts, mic, and files unless there’s a real reason; and -Actually read what you’re agreeing to.

If you're serious about playing war ..
Gotta hit the entire supply chain for Missiles, Nukes, and drones in Iran ..
Just like the USA and UK hitting the ball bearing plants, oil, power generation in Nazi Germany, and the Heavy Water in Norway

Depends on what is on the laptop .. if no secret / top secret / classified info then not the same impact.

This war is going to last a long time .. better get your supplies before they get too pricey
Danger if you do not finish the job in Iran ..

Israel has hit 2 of Iran's largest steel factories, a power plant and civilian nuclear sites among other infrastructure.
They plan on total destruction at this point and it will require US troops indefinitely
90 million? population will be fucked.
Global energy and food prices are about to liftoff.
A recession larger than 2008 is all but aqssured.
Why again?
