Nobody Planned for This.Day 28 of the war with Iran.The Strait of Hormuz is now a toll road — $2 million per transit, collected by the Iranians, for ships they're gracious enough to let pass. Patriot missiles are running low. The IDF Chief of Staff told his own cabinet this week that his force is on the road to collapse if they don't get 15,000 more troops. The diplomatic channel that opened this week looks, depending on who you ask, either like the beginning of a deal or the cover story for a surprise ground assault. Russia trained Iranian forces well-before the shooting started.

Worth your time.https://open.substack.com/pub/heroespath/p/the-heroes-path-brief-iran-update?r=ky3s5&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=trueSupport the showLearn • Serve • Lead • Remember 🎧 Never miss an episode—subscribe on YouTube or grab the RSS.Follow & join the conversation ➔ @HeroesPath on X, Instagram, LinkedIn • #HeroesPathPodcast
