Eleven days into the US strikes on Iran the targets appear to be:
1. Iranian coastal targets;
2. Probable command and control centers and weapons sites

There isn't enough publicly available information to infer an implied purpose to these attacks. However their very anonymity…

…very anonymity suggests the targets are not symbolic, but rather obscure installations with an unpublicized military value. It would make sense but only if we had the secret map, which alas, we do not.

2 Based on what I've read on X/twitter so far, we are hitting a lot of targets every night, mostly IRGC, along with damaging the IRGC logistical support and logistical transportation.

It also seems the IRGC grasp on Iran is not as firm as the MSM is making it out to be and there appear to be a lot of angry Iranians who do NOT support the IRGC.

Also Iraq based pro Iranian militias are apparently heading toward Iran to reinforce the IRGC. I'm sure they'll make good targets for the A-10's

3 The IRGC has set up ballistic missiles and a launcher in Tehran’s Azadi Square per Iran Watcher. This is a major civic location.

Maybe a small explosion there rather than a big one. That way the broken parts will be there for all to see while keeping the municipal damage down.

5 Seems like this should have been a target on day one.

6 President Trump today:

Israel “would join in two minutes if I asked them to,” Trump said, adding that “we don’t need anybody.” He also said there would be “consequences” if Israel joined in, likely referring to Iranian attacks on Israel.
