There's nobody left with enough authority to negotiate. The regime is busted. They can't function as a coordinated government.

Interesting. This is something that Trump or US hasn’t really mentioned during negotiations or listing red lines. Maybe Trump is just keeping it close to vest or is letting Israel deal with that part. Who knows. But if we don’t completely get rid of this regime, we will be back in the same spot in 10 years. Hopefully Trump finished what he started and doesn’t just kick the can.

Last year the US pounded the Houthis for seven weeks until they cried "No Mas".



One of my largest customers have been hit with drones and has affected my business.

It's a tit for tat in SW Saudi. Houthis release some drones that hit an oil depot for example and then the Saudi military will have a small firefight at the border. It's the weirdest fight I've ever seen.

The regime is headless, but the IRGC are still armed thugs among an unarmed population.

Amid mounting uncertainty over the future of U.S.–Iran talks, the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, and the prospect of renewed strikes on Iran’s energy sector and national infrastructure, CENTCOM Commander Gen.

Incorrect news... This ship departed from a Gulf port, heading to China... and therefore is not subject to the American blockade.

What you describe was exactly the plan from the outset. Part one was executed on the 4-5 wk schedule outlined at the beginning; decapitate the leadership, degrade their firepower and disable the ability to maintain control.

The problem for the regime remnants is that their opponents, US and Israel, are still fully functional and have a plan in place to proceed from here. I don't know what exactly that plan is, but I've seen enough to know that this was anticipated.

Another example of Reuters' disingenuous reporting. Just another propaganda org.

Meaning the Chinese bought gas at OPEC price not the reduced Iranian black market price. And, in dollars.

The U.S. blockade is working, and the Islamic regime is looking like a paper tiger.


One of my stepsons is active duty USN, serving on-board a guided missile destroyer.

Received word this morning that his ship will be joining the blockade.

Things just got real for us. Or more real than they already were.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has responded denying reports that they are looking to supply air defense missiles and systems to Iran. U.S. President Donald J. Trump and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer threatened tariffs on nations sending weapons to Iran and increased friction with China, following reporting from CNN claiming they were preparing to send Man-Portable Air-Defense Systems (MANPADS) to Iran through a third-party country.


Anyone naive enough to believe anything China says?

I'm not in the habit of using memes, but the one with the guy sweating over two red buttons is apropos here. CNN on one side and China on the other.

Wall St. Journal says the Saudis are trying to pressure us to drop our blockade.


I’ve read the opposite, that Saudi Arabia is helping fund the effort against Iran and has asked Trump not to back off.
