Absolute Resolve

"Absolute Resolve" appears to be a series of US military operations initiated under the Trump administration, specifically in Iran and Venezuela. The operation in Iran, launched sometime before March 2026, is facing unexpected resistance, including the use of Shahed drones by Iranian forces and a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. This has created difficulties for the US and President Trump, leading to a more complex and challenging conflict than initially anticipated. Separately, a US operation in Venezuela, possibly a raid, involved US commandos and helicopters. One helicopter sustained damage, jeopardizing the mission's success. Both operations are newsworthy due to the challenges encountered and the potential for escalation, highlighting the complexities and risks associated with US foreign policy and military interventions in these regions. The events underscore the potential for unforeseen consequences and the difficulties in achieving swift and decisive outcomes in modern conflicts.
