Use starlink or the military version. Send spies in to activate it. The Iranian people are smart people, give them the power of information to revolt against the IRGC. A better Iran is a better Middle East imo.

Side note. Does anyone watch Eyes On geopolitcal podcast? Johnathan Hackett goes on and he’s really interesting.

I don't know much about military targets, but hitting empty military bases seems non productive.

Wow that was fast, but at the same time he isn't wrong. Majority of Americans do not have the stomach for what it would take to not only gain control of the island but also hold it. I think the regime in Iran knows that they don't have to beat the US military they just have to outlast the will of the American people.

Probably. Unless he gets a call from Oman or something asking him not to do it.

This is clearly not so subtle code for "since we cannot hurt the US we bill target our neighbors in an effort to make their lives miserable enough to tell the US to stop"...

There is a big difference in who is actually finished here. The military might be finished but the IRGC and leaders of the regime are far from it. The only way they will truly be finished is when they are completely annihilated.

WATCH: Iranian shadow fleet tanker M/T Jalveer was disabled in the Gulf of Oman after a U.S. aircraft fired 2 Hellfire missiles into its engine room when the crew repeatedly ignored U.S. warnings.


What happens to these ships after they are disabled? Are they just left to go adrift? Are they salvaged? and if so, by whom?

Googled it

Ships are left adrift — After a Hellfire missile or precision munition disables propulsion or steering, the vessel simply stops moving and drifts. U.S. Central Command repeatedly states that crews are warned but not boarded, and the ships remain in the water where they were struck.

They are prevented from reaching Iran — The primary goal is to enforce the blockade by ensuring the ship cannot continue toward an Iranian port. CENTCOM emphasizes that “the ship is no longer sailing to Iran” after disabling actions.

They remain under owner responsibility — There is no indication that the U.S. tows, seizes, or escorts these disabled vessels. They stay in international waters until the owner arranges salvage or towing.

Some vessels are falsely flagged or sanctioned — Several disabled tankers (e.g., Lexie) were operating under false flags or sanctions, complicating recovery and insurance processes.

Blockade enforcement is systematic — Since April 13, U.S. forces have disabled multiple non-compliant ships and redirected over 100 others. Disabled ships are simply immobilized; compliant ships are allowed to reroute.

For those that claim we've reached the end of what air power can do.

My contention is as long as there are targets left, there is absolutely a reason to strike.

Keep pounding them until those left in control are serious about capitulation.


I think we had run out of targets. The ceasefire allowed us to watch where the rats were hiding and make a new list of targets. I also assume certain places are not targeted at all and after we bomb a few places any survivors move to the place that they think we dont know about only to get a JDAM dropped on them.

At least that is what I hope.

If they can’t hurt the US then what was the logic of starting this war in the first place?
