One wrong move by government here, and you will see, at the very least, 250k Irish people descend on the capital in a blink.
They must step down, there is no other way.
I cannot see another way.
We have already heard the warning of using the army against its own people.
We have heard the threat that they will come for the protestors after the protest ends.
We have then seen the attempted character assassinations on the protest leaders.
None of this has worked an iota as every single person in this country, outside of the political paywall and even within, is wide awake to it.
These threats, as well as being pitiful, are now futile.
Where else do they think they are going here?
Government, you have no more moves.
You’re going nowhere but out I am afraid.
It is check mate. The gig is up.
I don’t condone it, I don’t call for it, just calling it as I see it.

I don't think they could stop a destroyer even if they tried. They don't really want us to start attacking again yet.
We had no destroyers in the actual Persian Gulf, they in the Gulf of Oman, yet they are in the Persian Gulf now

According to the Iraqi constitution, Amedi now has 15 days to task a Shi’ite prime ministerial nominee with the formation of the government.
The leader of Iraq’s largest Shiite political bloc and Iranian-aligned politician, Nouri al-Maliki, was positioned as the most likely candidate for the premiership, but U.S. President Trump threatened to cut off support for Iraq should he be elected to the office.
The ruling Shiite Coordination Framework has yet to formally withdraw Maliki’s candidacy or announce a new nominee, but the threats from Washington have severely crippled any attempts to move forward with the government formation process.
This may well be problematic in the near future.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces began setting conditions for clearing mines in the Strait of Hormuz, April 11, as two U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers conducted operations.
USS Frank E. Peterson (DDG 121) and USS Michael Murphy (DDG 112) transited the Strait of Hormuz and operated in the Arabian Gulf as part of a broader mission to ensure the strait is fully clear of sea mines previously laid by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.
“Today, we began the process of establishing a new passage and we will share this safe pathway with the maritime industry soon to encourage the free flow of commerce,” said Adm. Brad Cooper, commander of CENTCOM.
The Strait of Hormuz is an international sea passage and an essential trade corridor that supports regional and global economic prosperity. Additional U.S. forces, including underwater drones, will join the clearance effort in the coming days.

Iran does not have authority over international waters. The US does not have the authority to "grant" Iran any powers over the international strait (even in we wanted too!)
If Iran's demand to control the strait is true, then they are not serious in these talks.

That isn't a really good take. Calling the Middle East stable is a stretch, especially since 2003. Even without Iran supporting terrorist proxies, it would not be a stable region. I mean, the region has had separatist proxies fighting low-level insurgencies for a long time, mainly Kurds, since the 70's and the region has been exporting fighters to hotspots as they pop-off for just about as long, but the difference is that Iran has been able to leverage quite a lot from the relative or perceived success of those proxies in driving specifically Israeli regional insecurity. The broader regional insecurity is driven by the fact that the Gulf Arabs have money but do not have the demographics to fight Iran, and Iranian military structure with independent commands is a departure from the more hierarchical structures of Arab armies traditionally.
For Iran, the survival of the regime and the IRGC in this is their only objective. Given that it is a clearly defined objective, it is easier to execute than the US's broad approach, which has tactical and strategic objectives, but no real political will to take the final step.
