They violated the agreement and closed the strait less than two days after signing it basically. Blow the rest of them to smitherines. They’re just stringing us along and buying time.

At this point, I’ll believe it when I see it. If we have any further engagement, it will be boots on the ground. And that is not something anyone wants

We need to sink Kharg Island.

Y'all ever think that maybe the reason why we aren't doing the things that posters on this board think are obvious and simple solutions to ending this war (like bombing the Iranian government into submission or seizing Kharg Island) is because we can't do them at a cost that we find acceptable?

People seem to think that our primary limitation is that Trump and Hegseth are just too merciful, or that we've been purposely fighting with one hand tied behind our back for some mysterious reason.

Not going to happen.

But it would be better for long term world security if it did.

You ready for the GCC to be lit up with mass refugee crisis? It would be elimination of 20% of global oil. If there was a military solution that would turn the tide in US favor, trump would’ve done it already. Iran is playing chess with the SoH to get US to dump Israel. This war was huge miscalculation on many levels.

The simple answer is that Trump(GOP) needs some calm leading up to modterms. It's certainly not about mercy nor inability.

If Israel improperly bombed Lebanon, then technically, we violated it first (as we agreed that both the US and its allies would cease fighting, in areas including Lebanon)

quote:

1 — The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran and their allies in the current war are signing this MOU to declare the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon, and undertake from now on not to initiate any war or any military operation against each other, and to refrain from the threat or use of force against each other, and ensuring the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Lebanon. The final deal will confirm the permanent termination of the war on all fronts, including in Lebanon and other provisions of this paragraph.

If they could win this war, that would be more calming than the world's oil supply running out in 4 weeks

What does that have to do with anything?

The MOU is less than a week old and the only applicable discussion is behavior thereafter.

The answer is whenever we deem it appropriate.

If the US government was both willing to pay the price for a clear military victory and able to achieve that victory, we would have done it.

Logic tells us that at least one (and possibly both) of those conditions isn't true.

There is zero reason to rush into finishing this now. They aren't anywhere near building a nuke and they don't have the manufacturing to rebuild their air force and navy.

Just play nice and rebuild our reserves when oil goes down. Finish them off next year if you really want to using US intelligence, not Israel.

Tell Israel to get out of Lebanon or else we will pull their aid.

We evidently don’t possess the will required to do what would be necessary for a variety of reasons.

American presidents would be wise to eventually learn someday that unless you’re committed to doing whatever it takes for however long in order to achieve complete and total victory …. then don’t go down that road to begin with.

They do if they raise the insurance costs of moving a ship through an area to a prohibitive price.

It wasn't a miscalculation. The issue is we were up 100-0 at half time and then just decided to quit.

Why do you think Trump did that?
