Retired generals break down Iran war strategy after week 5

The US has rescued a service member from an F-15E fighter jet that was shot down over Iran, US sources told CNN. The status of a second crew member was not immediately clear after the US launched search efforts in the country. Iran said its military shot down the US fighter jet. State media urged Iranians to look out for the American crew and promised a reward for handing them over.

This as President Donald Trump suggested the US could “easily” reopen the critical Strait of Hormuz, a shift in stance after insisting other countries are responsible for clearing the waterway. “With a little more time, we can easily OPEN THE HORMUZ STRAIT, TAKE THE OIL, & MAKE A FORTUNE,” Trump wrote in a Friday morning Truth Social post.

Here’s a roundup of retired US military analyzing the fifth week of the Iran war.
