‘I have just been informed by our Great Military that last night the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache Helicopters while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz.

‘Foreign forces in proximity to our territory are at constant risk on account of their own human errors, plain accidents, or potentially being caught in crossfire.

To reduce risk, it is better for them [U.S. forces] to leave’

Iran’s retaliation seems to be over.

Greatest ceasefire in history, I wonder for how long this is sustainable.
