re: Official US/Israel vs Iran war thread

I don’t think arms to the people are going to do it. Nobody wants to admit it but the revolutionary element got purged before we could get clear of the Olympics and not do norm breaking (sorta like Russia waiting until after the Olympics in 2022). There was some sort of secrecy break down and the regime cracked down hard.
At this juncture collapsing the regime is going to be on US-Israel destroying cities and infrastructure causing complete civil collapse. There is no little shove of decapitation strikes that is going to do it now. Our timing got fricked up and the internal forces we likely hoped to seize the initiative in the power vacuum got purged.

I think you're probably right.
Iranian leadership {whoever the hell that is} is watching CNN, BBC, Reuters,, Bloomberg,etc. and see the complaining over high fuel prices and avaition fuel shortages, fertilizer shortages,etc. and realize everyday without and beleive they can just absorb the pain and wait us out.
Reallly is time for bridges and power plants.

Realistically speaking, how can you negotiate with a regime that is continuously attacking you and setting mines?

When you have liberal lunatics making up every lie imaginable against Trump, can you blame him for doing everything he possibly can to avoid any further military action? When he does pull the trigger, it will be clear to the majority of sane people that there was no other option except further military action.

It’s been time. Present the deal, say sign. They say no. Say okay, systemically kill the entire upper echelon. Wait a few days. Find the new head rat. Present same deal. They say no. Repeat and escalate. New leaders, same deal. They refuse? Repeat and escalate. New leaders. Same deal.
Rinse.
Repeat.
Until
A) they cry uncle and sign
B) no one left to sign

You need the Iran Military leaders at the table. Then do that and lets see if they want to negotiate further.
I know the President is hurting them the longer he waits but he must act quickly

I love my country but our people are soft and privileged to live in the first world. Them Iranian people can suffer far more than we can and they know it.

I saw chatter about this last week and this is the first I've seen it publicly talked about. Supposedly, along the UAE coast, we have been proving GPS and AIS jamming to confuse the Iranian systems and have been secretly guiding select vessels on a course close to the UAE coastline.

In other news, we touched a boat trying to run the blockade.

JUST IN: The U.S. military has disabled another merchant ship attempting to breach the blockade of Iranian ports.
The Gambia-flagged bulk carrier Lian Star reportedly ignored repeated warnings before being disabled by U.S. aircraft in the Gulf of Oman. It is now adrift.
This marks the 6th vessel stopped while trying to break the blockade.

The size of those ships never ceases to amaze me.

It's not enough that Iran doesn't get US taxpayer money in any deal. We control like $80 billion in frozen funds which are arguably "theirs," but they shouldn't see a dime of that either until the nuclear dust starts leaving Iran to a reliable country.

They are freaking huge. My cousin used to run a business in Houston and New Orleans that provided supplies to ships when they made port. It's no wonder he had to have huge warehouse space to supply his customers.
