Stopped reading when you said their Navy never posed a strategic threat. What a moronic take.

Their navy lasted like what, 48 hours? It was a tactical threat that was obliterated immediately once the war started.

It’s not like they can lean on a fleet in being.

Iran winning and even more stronger than before.

Is this sarcasm or are you stupid?

If at any point in our lifetime we went to war with Iran (and it would have happened eventually) and we are in the position we are in now it's a super majority success. We could not have had it any better. It would have never been perfect never. But it's probably the best you realistically hope for. That's what I don't get. Some of yall act like Iran is just gonna mind it's own business on the other side the world and be good neighbors. They are scrapping the bottom of the barrel at this point. The strait is all they have. It's much more important to that region that us. This is why Trump wants those countries to take it. Take it now or never control it. Iran is losing everything right now.

Their Navy deployed mines in the Strait of Hormuz which seems like a pretty strategic threat. The fact that we decimated their Navy doesn't change the fact that those vessel were a large part of Iran's strategy in the war.

The Iranians have known for decades that their navy would be destroyed in any real war. That’s why they’ve developed such a robust suicide drone program.

They’d rather watch their whole country crumble before their eyes than make a deal.

What deal can they cut that doesn’t lead to a total strategic defeat for them?

More like it's cheap and you can launch if from any hooptie.

I have seen no evidence of mines deployed in the strat. It is a concern and possible, but there has been no evidence of it. No ship has hit a mine and there have been ships passing through.

Our military is proving to be largely incapable of handling a regional threat like Iran

If we’ve gained anything from this war, it’s an understanding of how piss poor our planners are, how unprepared our military is for a near peer conflict, and how we need to stop pushing away our historic allies.

So much wrong in this post.

In what way has Iran acted irrationally during all of this

Oh I don't know, maybe by throwing tantrums and firing missiles w/clusters at pretty much every gulf ally of ours and Isreal

ELIMINATED: The Commander of the Iranian terror regime’s Ballistic Missile Unit in the Kermanshah area.

Atimi was responsible for the unit’s operations in the Kermanshah region in western Iran and carried out dozens of ballistic missile launches toward Israel.

In an additional strike, the IDF eliminated a number of battalion commanders responsible for dozens of ballistic missile launches against Israel.

Meh they have been fairly effective, but they aren't the end all in capability.

Bro we destroyed Iran’s Air Force and navy and the threat of them alone has the strait shut down. Are they a wonder weapon in a conventional sense? No. But for an asymmetric weapon they’re damn near close.
