HOLY SMOKES. Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent just revealed MAJOR DEFECTIONS are happening to the Iranian regime, and he's watching their bank accounts
"We're starting to see defections at Treasury. We now know where the Iranian leadership bank accounts are, and those are being frozen."
"And we will hold them and see who comes forward in terms of defections!"
"We're back to the stuff of Baghdad Bob! The regime is in collapse, and the people are starting to turn against them!"
"We're starting to see defections throughout the regime, and that's how this ends."
"Kharg Island...if you're an oil worker, you don't want to work there. So all the oil workers that are being coerced to stay there, and we will see what happens with whether that eventually becomes a U.S. asset!" @RapidResponse47
Something tells be that marine expeditionary force will be used to secure Kharg

Kharg Island becoming a U.S.asset you say? Great, first thing President Trump should do? Americanize the thing - stick a McDonald's and a Chick-fil-A on it.

Don't forget "handhelds" for sandwiches.
And mason jars.
and $12 boutique sodas

We are, but it isn’t from Iran.
I don’t believe anything right now from the Trump admin on this war. We keep being told we are in control and Iran has no military capability left yet they keep hitting oil infrastructure with missiles
It’s all a load of bullshite and I think we vastly underestimated the regime. We hit them hard and they were reeling initially but it seems they’ve settled in and figured us out and now comes the part where it takes months, not weeks, to finish the job and the high energy prices destroy our economy as we get stuck in yet another quagmire

They are gassing people up to minimize pushback when they put boots on the ground.

I don’t blame you for your ignorance. Mississippi State fans don’t really know much about winning anything

Oh I’m sure you believe some of what the Trump admin says, the point in question is what their definition of some words mean vs what your definition of some words mean

I dont think you know the definition of vastly.

Yep!! People must remember POTUS Trump, even as a very young man said whenever the USA goes into a country to help that country, the USA will be paid for such activity by the assets of that country. He even claimed if an American citizen or asset is harmed by Iran, you take Kharg Island. He made statements like this over 35 years ago. He has not changed!!
This activity is going to lower prices of commodities as the Strait is quickly secured.

HOLY SMOKES!
High energy costs, leading to increased cost of goods. Trump is hitting it out of the ballpark. No room for PANICANS! The stable genius will make Kharg Island a US territory.

I've said a bunch of times this board is fantastic about being skeptical of MSM and administration gaslighting on certain subjects -- Ukraine/Russia is a good example. There is an alt media ecosystem of military/intel/academic guys telling a very different story that what we are being told by the administration about this conflict. I have no idea what to believe. I still don't after four years of Ukraine/Russia.

No one underestimated anything. You think the U.S. didn't realize the extent of Iran's military and war capabilities? Really?
