The State Department just authorized evacuation of non-emergency personnel from the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem as two full carrier strike groups position within striking distance of Iran—but the mission may already be compromised before it begins.
According to reports from The New York Times and Politico, Russian intelligence delivered a fully developed U.S. strike plan directly to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on February 20th. Not just intelligence snippets or rumors—the complete operational blueprint including target matrices, launch platforms, timing sequences, and the entire campaign architecture.
Every element of surprise that has defined American air superiority since Desert Storm was handed to our enemies in a single transmission.
Enemy Alliance Forms Against America
The intelligence leak was just the beginning. Six weeks earlier, Russia signed a $500 million arms deal with Iran, delivering advanced Virba man-pad launchers and missiles specifically designed to rebuild the air defenses that Trump's Operation Midnight Hammer destroyed last June.
Meanwhile, Reuters confirmed China is transferring CM-302 supersonic anti-ship missiles to Iran—Mach 3 weapons designed to kill the very Aegis destroyers now positioned in the Persian Gulf as part of Trump's naval armada.
The coordination is undeniable: Russia provides intelligence and air defense systems, China supplies anti-ship missiles and satellite surveillance, and Iran receives everything needed to make any American strike cost maximum blood and treasure.
Vice President J.D. Vance told the Washington Post the administration has "no intention of engaging in a prolonged war with Iran." Notice that word carefully—prolonged. Not no war, but no prolonged war.
President Trump referenced his successful strikes against Soleimani, al-Baghdadi, and previous Iranian targets as proof that decisive action works. But this time, the enemy has read the playbook.
Strategic Exhaustion by Design
Pentagon insiders admit the U.S. maintains only seven to ten days of precision munitions. Moscow and Beijing are ensuring those days cost maximum resources that take years to replenish. Every Tomahawk fired at Iranian nuclear facilities is one absent from a potential Taiwan conflict.
This isn't about defending Iran—it's about forcing America into strategic exhaustion while our adversaries watch from the sidelines.
Trump faces his Cuban Missile Crisis moment. The USS Gerald Ford sits off Israel's coast while the USS Abraham Lincoln loads munitions just 850 kilometers from Iranian waters. The diplomatic clock runs down, but the real question remains: Is a compromised operation still worth launching?
Patriots, this is exactly why we need leadership that doesn't blink when enemies test American resolve.
