I’m glad for any evidence that there won’t be a strike from the US on Iran, but the fact that it appears to be “postponed“ is troubling for a separate reason.Reportedly, the original attack was supposed to happen on 14 January, but the administration realized it didn’t have enough combat power to defend against and expected Iranian retaliation, so they waited until the Abraham Lincoln battle Group got on site.Now it appears that again they have recognized they don’t have enough combat power, and again have pushed the operation back. This gives evidence we are doing a terrible job at mission analysis at the national level.These kinds of issues should’ve been evident in the original concept phase, much less when combat power was actually being deployed abroad and actions being contemplated.
