Are we expanding the countries where we have bases or is to replace EU bases? Indonesia, now Morocco? Explain this!
I think these new relationships in the Middle East, Northern Africa, and Indonesia will be our alliances (and bases) going forward when we disengage from NATO.
Will be fun seeing the panic in Europe when we leave.

The problem is that there are limits to what air power alone can do especially when dealing with Islamic nutjobs who are armed among a population who are not.
UK gave Ukraine 120,000 drones yesterday. We should do the same for the Iranian uprising and get some advisors from Ukraine too. Gamers will have a virtually zero learning curve for operating drones.

By the time final discussions get underway it will be time to cheer on the next Arab spring and evacuate all Americans from those countries.
Well, that was the Dims that did that

Well, it might as well be that the US doesn't control the airspace if they can't manage to land a simple cargo plane with supplies, nor have the population in a position to even have men organized. How much does it take to load cargo planes and have them land in remote areas to be unloaded by this suppose to be 90% of the population?
Even with our airpower to protect them? Its not an impossible James Bond type move. Land and unload. A pre-planned distribution of weapons. To a country with all the males having gone thru 2? years of military service? They secure a large area and the US protects them with aircraft if necessary. The area becomes stronger and grows. Start in areas already mostly not Islamic, whatever.
Something isn't adding up.

You honestly think they would just want to build nuclear power plants when they cant even sustain a power grid???
I think the original poster meant Iran could produce uranium concentrate for sale to other countries. The US for instance, nuclear generators imported 99% of their uranium concentrate in 2023, with the majority coming from Canada, Australia, Kazakhstan.

Do you really think drones in the hands of everyday civilians would have any impact against the IRGC? Seriously?

?? PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST NOW dropped this epic moment: "Do not attempt to breach the blockade. Vessels will be boarded for interdiction and seizure transiting to or from an Iranian port. Turn around and prepare to be boarded!"
Any chance we can deport 50K Somalis and get them involved in this effort? They have the experience.
Kind of a twofer. Let them keep the ships and cargo.

USNAVCENT expands the Iran blockade worldwide. Iranian vessels, OFAC sanctioned ships, and suspected contraband carriers can now be boarded and seized by U.S. forces anywhere, with the move targeting Iran’s shadow fleet of more than 570 tankers.
Key points
• Blockade in force since April 13 now applies worldwide under belligerent rights
• Neutral flagged vessels tied to Iran or sanctions also at risk
• $400M + per day in Iranian oil revenue at risk
• Nearly 90% of Iran’s trade is sea based
• Rising risk of economic collapse and currency crisis

IRGC’S REZAEI: “We will sink all U.S ships”
Mohsen Rezaei, adviser to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and former IRGC commander:
“We will not concede on our 10 conditions under naval pressure.”
“I oppose continuing the ceasefire.”
“We will sink all ships and let none escape,” warning U.S. vessels against approaching the Strait of Hormuz.
“President Trump wants to police Hormuz,” adding the U.S. “can no longer sustain the war and fears escalation.”

NOW: Secretary Hegseth sends a DIRECT MESSAGE to Iran from the Pentagon
"To IRGC leadership, we're watching you.
Our capabilities are NOT the same, our military and yours.
Remember, this is NOT a fair fight, and we know what military assets you are moving and where you are moving them to.
You are digging out, which is exactly what you're doing— digging out of bombed out and devastated facilities, and we are only getting stronger."
"We are locked and loaded on your critical dual-use infrastructure, on your remaining power generation, and your energy industry.
We'd rather not have to do it, we are ready to go at command of our president and the push of a button."
