Analysts: The U.S. may launch several days of intense attacks on Iranian ports and targets in the Gulf region. Analysis indicates that the goal will be to destroy Iran's "eyes" in the region and weaken its ability to monitor and control movements there, and allow the U.S. to continue the naval and land blockade announced today with greater freedom of movement. Iran has rebuilt some of its capabilities in the south, which the analysis links to recent activity around the Strait of Hormuz. Another analysis says that Trump can continue to attack Iran until January 20, 2029, because Congress has no effective means to stop him, and that Democratic control of Congress will cut funding for the war, so the Republican loss accelerates the war instead of ending it.
