Don't forget, lost 6 soldiers....

Not our problem, should have left it to Israel and Europe to deal with, since they were "in range" of the ballistic missles.

Did we accomplish that? Because all indications are they still have the ability to get one, along with allies like China that will gladly help them.

I also thought the goal was to force a regime change. Did we accomplish that?

So what was the point of all this? I’m genuinely asking because I’m having a hard time not being pissed about this ceasefire


Key stated military goals include:

Destroy Iran's missile stockpiles, launchers, and ability to produce them (including "razing" the missile industry and defense industrial base).

Destroy or severely degrade Iran's navy (and air force, with air superiority largely established early).

Permanently deny Iran nuclear weapons — by targeting nuclear-related sites and infrastructure to eliminate any breakout capability.

Additional elements mentioned in broader statements: Neutralizing threats from Iran's drone program, ending support for terrorist proxies, and ensuring freedom of navigation (e.g., in the Strait of Hormuz).

Trump admin has always stated that the Iranian people would need to rise up for there to be regime change.

What are these indications you're referring to, specifically?

These clowns dont even see a problem with Iran having a nuke to "protect themselves" . The TDS Crew are sick and hate Trump more than they love the USA,. Fact.

Their bleeding here is proof;

Blow em up = Trump Bad.
Broker a ceasefire = Trump is Weak.

Clowns ..all of them.

The capture of Maduro and the killing of the Ayatollah show the world that the US has the ability to take out any belligerent at anytime. I promise you that Putin, Xi, and everyone else has a renewed respect and fear of Trump.

For one, we killed the Ayatollah and severely decapitated Iranian military in 35 days


Not just the ayatollah, their entire leadership structure got decimated. They lost thousands of troops, their navy, their airforce, their air defense. Over half their missile launchers, much of their missile/drone stock, and the factories that built them are gone

If for whatever reason they try and close the strait in the future or reboot the nuclear program again, it will be much easier to whip them back in line

This was one of the most dominating shows of power the world has ever seen. We lost 13 troops (half in a non-combat air accident) and beat the shite out of a regional power halfway across the world in a months time.
