This will end up a proxy war between us and China. I was hoping a deal would be struck since only death will result from this war.

Ok. I said that because multiple news outlets said talks would continue tomorrow.
Now I see more saying talks might continue tomorrow.


I was confused by that too. Vance did say he left them with his final offer. There are also multiple sets of negotiators there from several different countries. I wonder if the 'talks' continuing tomorrow might be more about regional partners convincing Iran to take the final offer, since I think the US delegation has left.

I would prefer 1500 carpet bombers destroying a city every night until they publicly beg for mercy.

Smart play by the Americans to exit the negotiations.

It takes all of their delusional power away.

Blockading the Straight that they are shutting down, accomplishes what exactly? If an oil tanker gets through, is the US going to sink it? What does this even mean?

. It means you don’t let a single ship leave that strait. China has to have the oil we don’t. Without supplies or income the country will collapse on its own. Pakistan has a defense deal with Saudi and China and Europe need that oil and will turn on them. everyone goes through or it’s shut down completely.



If we bomb all of the Iranian ship loading docks and terminals, the oil tankers will have nowhere to load up.

This will cut off Iranian revenue.

There will be no need to stop empty tankers.

Ali Gholhaki, a conservative analyst close to the Iranian government, said on social media that talks fell apart because the United States demanded zero enrichment, removal of nearly 900 pounds of stockpile uranium from the country and a new demand of U.S.
"management of the security of the Strait of Hormuz on their own terms." Mr. Gholhaki said the United States also provided no commitment to end Israel's bombing of Lebanon.
"It seems the Americans didn't come to negotiate!" he said.

It's a good way to counter the maximalist demands of the Iranians.

So the US shoots itself in the knee, foot, and groin. Do you think the petrodollar survives the US shooting oil tankers? This is the most retarded thing ever put forward on this board.
We’re not going to shoot anything. We can board the tankers if necessary. You cannot give Iran international waters period. UAE, Saudi, etc have all said Iran cannot be given control of the strait. The tankers aren’t moving without us allowing it. Without insurance those tankers don’t move.

They have them, and we gave them to them in this retarded war.

And yet, nothing they can do will stop Iran from controlling it.

US ‘looking for excuse’ to leave talks

A source close to the Iranian delegation has told the Fars news agency that the US was “looking for an excuse” to leave the negotiating table.

“The Americans needed the negotiation for their lost face in the international arena and were unwilling to lower their expectations despite the defeat and stalemate in the war with Iran,” the source said.

“Iran has no plans for the next round of talks,” they added.

Bro what do you think will happen when all of those factions of the IRGC don’t get paid? Without assurances from us that the tankers are safe they can’t get insurance. Even Irans own President said the country would collapse without an infusion of funds. Without funds they cannot pay their own troops.

Before kickoff, if you were an Iranian and had $750.00 worth of commodities or USD’s you became an instant millionaire. That’s how decimated the Iranian rial had become and their central bank, Bank Markazi, capital is fully paid by the government.

Is closed, not open for business, no withdrawals, no ATM service, nada.

Remember that the national protests that lit the spark was economically lit.

It’s amazes me they have been able to keep him safe while he leaves himself so vulnerable at these large scale events.

Specifically in an arena like tonight, seemingly some blue hair could sneak something in hidden weeks prior to the event.

Congress hasn’t even authorized this operation


One of the funniest things about this whole ordeal is the people who now want to rely on a congress with ~13% approval rating that refuses to pass voter ID that 85% of the country wants.

But sure, let's rely on them for foreign policy and military advice. The people using taxpayer funds to pay off people they rape or molest is certainly the group I want deciding the fate of military operations.
