US control of the strait of Hormuz and and end to the Iranian support of its proxies in the region. Regime change would be better but I don’t think we’ll get that.
We don’t have any of that, we are no closer to any of that than we were in February.
But at least we blew up replaceable things and killed replaceable people.

We’re definitely closer. The war isn’t over.
I do question whether or not Trump will have the will to do what’s necessary to take the strait though.

This is what happens when you allow your enemy to maintain comms during war.
Take that shite out now. Power too.
End regime broadcasts. Replace it with US propaganda.

Nope. Further in fact.
The Strait of Hormuz was completely open before we did stupid worthless shite in February.
Every single problem with the strait is our unilateral doing.
Of course we can’t solve it, but we will definitely keep making it worse

This is unfortunately true. But there is still time to rectify the situation. We need to invade the islands in the strait. I’d start with Larak

I understand your point. That being said, those of us who have buried children don’t care about meaningless statistics. Even one young American life lost is one too many.

Yea! Let’s objectively make everything worse with zero possible upside.

Really, you don’t see any upsides?

To randomly occupying islands in the Strait or Gulf?
No. I don’t. But then again I’m not really playing HOI IV either.
The US only loses the more we engage there. Completely and total loss only. There are no positives possible.

This is as hysterical as saying we should nuke Tehran.

What are you talkign about.
I bet you hear "iran closed the straight" and think a big wall pops up do you? Or maybe you thinkt hey have navy? Or is it those oh-so-scary naval mines that NO ONE HAS EVER ENCOUNTERED OR SEEN PLACED.
No, its just them threatening to fire guns at the ships going by because they think they control everything - like the Tiny, stupid, muhammad dick sucking cavemen they are

But they have been attacking our bases and ships for years.
And even though you approve, don't forget the three assasination plots.

We had our foot on Irans throat months ago and Trump made that asinine tweet calling for a “two week pause”. Just idiotic.
Posted on 7/18/26 at 5:48 pm to TideSaint
Just nut up and admit Trump unleashed a clusterfrick which he hasn't a clue of how to resolve. The Strait of Hormuz is closed, US military instalments are being attacked, the US Gulf allies are suffering attacks against civilians, a water desalination plant in Kuwait has been destroyed; this whole operation has been a failure of gargantuan dimensions. And how did this happen? I thought Iran's capacity to enrich uranium to produce The Bomb was eliminated by Operation Midnight Hammer, nearly a year ago.

By all means set out the realistic expectations that you have for an operation to take islands in the Persian gulf.

Sweet. You graduated from a public school in the river parishes, didn’t you?
