Since 1979, the Islamic regime has been the single biggest financier of terrorism in the Middle East.
Here is what collapses the moment that regime falls:
DOMINO 1: Hezbollah (Lebanon)
Iran sends them $700M to $1B+ per year.
That is their entire war budget.
No Iran = no Hezbollah.
DOMINO 2: Hamas (Gaza)
93% of Hamas funding comes from Iran.
$100-350M per year in cash.
No Iran = Hamas has no money to fight.
DOMINO 3: Houthis (Yemen)
$100-200M per year in direct transfers.
Plus weapons. Plus training. Plus IRGC commanders on the ground.
No Iran = Houthis go back to being a tribal militia with AKs.
DOMINO 4: Iraqi Militias
Kata'ib Hezbollah. Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq. Badr Organization.
All funded, armed, and directed by Iran's IRGC.
No Iran = they lose their patron. Fast.
DOMINO 5: Syrian Militias
Iran spent $16 BILLION propping up Assad.
The entire Syrian proxy network runs on Iranian money.
No Iran = no money, no mission.
People keep asking why this operation matters.
This is why.
One source. Five networks. Billions in annual terror funding.
Pull the source. The whole network dies.

Maybe he feels that since his Department is paying for it he should have some say such as renaming Hegseth's baby the Department of Excursions.

So are we getting actual real help from any allies or is it just for show? Sorry was busy the past two hours. Thanks

I think it has more to do with Bessent being the best communicator in the administration. Especially for an audience like news channels. He’s very well spoken, professional, succinct, and while Trump often speaks in euphemism that somehow a lot people haven’t figured out after 10+ years, when you need someone to just come out and lay it out clearly and directly he’s the man

This might be one of the most informative post's in this whole thread. The best explanation of why we are doing this.

Obama is going to be upset with this investment's ROI

Is we is or is we ain't gonna give the Pentagon the $200 billion dollars more it is asking for on top of the record military budget it is currently operating under?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday said “Iran is being decimated” as the U.S. and Israel target its ballistic missile and nuclear programs from the air — but he added that meaningful regime change will require a “ground component.”
“You don’t want to replace one ayatollah with another,” Netanyahu said at a press conference. “You don’t want to replace Hitler with Hitler.”
He said that the Iranian people must ultimately “rise to the moment.”
“We can create the conditions, but they have to, you know, they have to exploit those conditions at a certain point,” he said.
A revolution cannot come “only from the air,” he went on. “You can do a lot of things from the air, and we’re doing [them,] but ... there has to be a ground component as well.”
His remarks left open the possibility that such on-the-ground action may take many forms. “There are many possibilities for this ground component, and I take the liberty of not sharing with you all those possibilities.”

It's officially Friday in Iran, day 19 of Mojtaba-Watch™ is upon us, still without a physical confirmation of life, video statement, anything.
Dude is obviously dead. The IRGC stragglers aren't even talking about him or referencing him anymore in their messaging
