We have severely weakened Iran's infrastructure. Up to them to take their country back. I imagine we will help if the government, not IGRC decides to do so.

That's great, but what does that do to help the Iranian people?


Weakening the IRGC allows them the opportunity to overthrow the IRGC if they have the chest to do it.

Because it frames it as us doing all the necessary work and now its up to the people to just get it done themselves and if they don't then oh well you can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink

Here is a question. Do you know who was funding Iran in the background? This is the precursor to a much larger potential conflict. I do believe that the US will insist that Iran is allowed no nuclear weapons. Will it work? Not at all, with China deploying weapons to the country in the background

And if you don't think we fractured things in Iran, look at the "ceasefire". They have no control over the regime at this point. Just various commanders doing as they wish.

Breaking News??????: The solitary Royal Navy ship sent to defend RAF Akrotiri after attacks from Iran has BROKEN DOWN. The MOD and Royal Navy are now an international laughing stock and moral is at an all time low. The UK Defence Forces have been scuppered internally


Behold, the naval power of our "strongest and oldest" ally. Great example of exactly how eroded and hollowed-out the military capabilities of our NATO partners are. The UK's navy is a damned punchline.

A tiny island country with a garbage navy. How exactly can they help us?

If the Dems had their way ours would be as well. It would all be spent on social programs.

I know it's hard to filter the true goals from the disinformation, but that was probably the most consistent message in this whole thing; the Iranian people would have to finish the job of regime change.

Right now the Regime is compromised, both clerics and IRCG leadership. It's not clear if anyone, internally or externally, knows exactly who is calling the shots, maybe because it's broken down into competiing factions. Their mobility is compromised, their ability to replenish supplies is compromised, their industrial capacity is compromised. If the Iranian people hate the regime as much as advertised, this would be their time.

Trying to establish order in a place that’s been in disorder since the creation of time. You will never be able to win a war on ideology. There is either chaos or it’s complete destruction. No middle ground will be had on any side.

Not good. Saudi gonna be pissed! They built that pipeline for the sole reason to bypass the strait if need be. Not fully but some.

the IRGC is still in control of the country and its actively patrolling the streets of Tehram and violently squashing any form of resistance

We absolutely told the Iranian people that it would be up to them and thats fine. But to act like we've teed this up for them and all they have to do is just rise up and take it is just funny. Cause we didnt even come close to doing so

At 8 pm est, bridges in Iran may be blown up to discourage non compliance with the cease fire agreement.
