We never really had a clear goal in mind of what we wanted to accomplish and how we were going to accomplish it.
It has been outlined over and over again daily. You may not agree with it, but that doesn't equate to no plan. You're being obtuse or gaslighting people.

Who says that we do not have a clear goal or plan?
Anyone that has listened to the dozen or so goals/rationales provided by the Admin.
You're lying again. That comes so easy to a morally corrupt human such as yourself though.

Urgent: Chinese FM calls for end to military operations in Middle East
BEIJING, March 12 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Thursday called on all parties to urge those involved in the current conflict in the Middle East to cease military operations as soon as possible and prevent the situation from deteriorating further.
Translation, we would like to preserve the regime that we have funded and armed to remain intact and in place please. You're killing our mojo.

Reza has to appear independent and organically selected by the Iranians for this to work, that is why Trump hasn't endorsed him as the choice.
The dude lives in Maryland. How much more organic can it get?

The Shah:
"As you prepare yourselves for the final phase of the struggle, I emphasize that for now, you must refrain from taking to the streets. Do not approach government offices, military sites, police stations, or the residences of organizations affiliated with the repressive apparatus.
The Islamic Republic uses schools, mosques, and other public places to conceal its repressive forces and create human shields. For your own safety, stay away from such locations.
And my special message to government employees: Do not show up at your workplaces under any circumstances. Do not sacrifice your lives and safety for the survival of the Islamic Republic. Do not allow yourselves to be used as human shields. Do not let your work and activities become tools for the repression of your fellow compatriots. Use your access and resources to disrupt the repressive process and assist the people."

FWIW Reza's daughter Noor is an IRL 8.9.

I’m assuming some radical leftist MSM reported Ford getting hit.
For those having never served, carriers have fires just about every day. And every sailor is a firefighter. I could tell you about a fire in carrier rag room while doing fuel unrep and smoke billowing out of hanger bay doors and us doing an emergency breakaway. Its a city of 5,000 crammed into 1,100 feet.
On March 12, USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) experienced a fire that originated in the ship’s main laundry spaces. The cause of the fire was not combat-related and is contained.
There is no damage to the ship’s propulsion plant, and the aircraft carrier remains fully operational.
Two Sailors are currently receiving medical treatment for non-life-threatening injuries and are in stable condition. Additional information will be provided when available.
The Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group is currently operating in the Red Sea in support of Operation Epic Fury.

That seems excessive. They should probably do something about that

Serious cracks are emerging inside Iran’s armed forces.
Reports describe a military under severe strain, with shortages, desertions, and growing friction between the regular army (Artesh) and the IRGC.
? Desertions rising: Groups of soldiers are reportedly abandoning bases and seeking refuge in nearby towns as conditions deteriorate.
? Severe supply shortages: Some frontline units are operating with minimal ammunition, food, and drinking water.
? Minimal ammunition issued: In some cases, units reportedly received only 20 bullets for every two soldiers.
? Army–IRGC tensions worsening: Sources say IRGC personnel have refused to transport wounded Artesh soldiers to hospitals, citing ambulance and blood shortages.
? IRGC units also strained: Even missile units have reportedly faced communication failures and shortages of food and basic supplies.
? Command priorities questioned: Leadership appears focused on keeping missile systems operational rather than supporting frontline troops.
? Reserve mobilization failing: Many reservists summoned for duty reportedly never reported, instead leaving to help families move toward border areas.
The picture emerging is of a military system under growing internal stress as the conflict intensifies.

Two diplomats of the Islamic Republic in Denmark and Australia have applied for asylum, informed sources told Iran International.
Alireza Sohbati, a diplomat at the Iranian embassy in Copenhagen, and Mohammad Pournajaf, a diplomat at the Iranian embassy in Canberra, have submitted asylum requests.
Pournajaf had previously served as the chargé d'affaires of the Islamic Republic’s embassy in Australia.
In recent months, amid escalating political and social developments linked to the Iranian national uprising, other cases of Islamic Republic diplomats abandoning their posts and seeking asylum had been reported.
Iran International had previously reported that Alireza Jeyrani Hakamabad, a senior diplomat at the Iranian mission to the UN Office in Geneva, had left his workplace and applied for asylum in Switzerland.
Similarly, Gholamreza Derikvand, the chargé d'affaires of the Islamic Republic’s embassy in Austria, applied for asylum in Switzerland after leaving his post.

Fox reporter who spoke to Iranians fleeing to Armenia reveals the chilling reason why uprisings may not be happening.
FOX: “When we ask people why are they leaving everything behind? Why are they fleeing their country?”
“Why not perhaps stay and protest against this regime?”
“One man said: I’m not sure if you can protest against this regime. They have a religious view.”
“So anybody who protests against them is God’s enemy.”
“They say protesters are heretics and you can kill them.”
“They killed 40,000 protesters in two days. And in their point of view, they go to heaven for doing this.”
“That’s the point of view potential protesters would be up against in Iran.”
