Marco Rubio: What we want is not to harm the people of Iran. To be honest, we wish the voice of the Iranian people would be heard, instead of 40,000 of them being killed in the streets, inside hospitals, and executed on a daily basis.
They are victims of that regime.

My sense is that we have reached the limits of airpower alone. There has to be either boots on the ground in some form or serious arming of the uprising.

I think it is more on “not needing to bomb” than “no wanting to bomb”. Economic war is doing more to the regime at this point. Time is NOT on Iran’s side either. The world can eat a blip in higher oil prices. Iran can’t handle the shut in of its oil wells and the end of export revenue.

I have noticed the very complete lack of missile/drone attacks the last 2 weeks from the country of 90 million people. This would indicate that a central governing authority still exists and is in control of its military personnel and hardware. While there is some inter party disconnects at the top, it looks like the rank and file are still rank and filing.

We haven't reached the limits of airpower, we've reached the limits of what we are willing to do with our airpower. Granted, with good reason, because the next step is eradicating population centers and critical civilian infrastructure.

There are still military targets to hit and actions to make that affect the regime without targeting the population. Let's make it happen.

It’s like dealing with Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan. You just gotta kill all the hardcore fanatics. That simple.

Yet every indication is the regime is just trying to buy time at this point. Slow rolling seems like a peculiar strategy for a regime that think it’s out of time.

HEZBOLLAH SUPPLY LINE CUT OFF
Reports say Hezbollah’s activity in southern Lebanon is collapsing after losing its main supply route.
The Tehran–Damascus–Beirut corridor is now shut.
• No resupply.
• No ammunition flow.
• No freedom of movement.
Lebanese Army checkpoints and patrols are also tightening the squeeze, disrupting weapons transfers inside Lebanon.
This is what teamwork looks like

DEVELOPING: Netanyahu abruptly leaves testimony after receiving note
During court proceedings, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was handed a note… and shortly afterward exited the courtroom.
Moments later, judges announced the session would end two hours earlier than scheduled.
No official explanation has been given.

The Hardliners are prideful idiots. They'll cut off their noses to spite their face, for sure. To hell with those guys, directly to hell.

And they don't care how many Iranian citizens die in the process.

It would certainly be a pivot in messaging if we need to start plucking them from cellars and tunnels like saddam and crew.
Guess it’ll be interesting to see if congress turns on Trump before anyone challenges the supreme leader’s decisions.

Translated from Persian:
Our combat reconnaissance officer from Tehran, "Mr. Snap," reports, and we present below the portion of it deemed suitable for public viewing:
While the current of Saeed Jalili—which, in our view, staged a kind of intra-structural coup some time ago and has yet to be seen alive and active anywhere—is under severe pressure, this extremely foolish and principalist current has pulled out all the stops and believes the regime should even carry out intense missile and drone attacks on American forces in the Horn of the Persian Gulf and neighboring countries in this region.
Eyewitness observations and intelligence rumors in Tehran indicate that a portion of the IRGC has decided to settle the Jalili current's hash by armed means. If this is true, we should expect a series of armed clashes and brutal arrests in Tehran, Shiraz, and Mashhad.
Eyewitness observations and news from various layers of intelligence in Tehran indicate that Israel's operational intelligence organization, Mossad, is currently directing dozens of extremely violent, precise, and effective operations in Iran. Some of these operations are so precise and ruthless that they have caused intense fear and terror among the regime's intelligence layers, especially in Tehran.
It should be noted that under the radar, the number of casualties among the regime's agents, great and small, increases every week, and their disclosure is strongly prevented. The regime's casualties are buried very quietly, even with fake headlines.
For the protection of information about our Israeli friends, we are reluctant to refer directly to these operations, but we can say this much: the power and intelligence dominance of Mossad and Aman in Iran have, in a terrifying manner, transformed from mere intelligence penetration into full-fledged political and operational presence.
It can be boldly claimed that the alternative intelligence government in our country has effectively fallen into the hands of Israel's intelligence and operational forces.
Of particular note is that at present, a very intense battle is underway under the radar between the IRGC intelligence agents and the remnants of the Ministry of Intelligence's occupations, and they have fallen upon each other like hungry hyenas.
According to our precise information in Iran, Ministry of Intelligence personnel, wherever they are defeated by the IRGC intelligence unit and come up short, establish contact with Israel and sell information about themselves and their close associates for cash.
Things have reached such a point that, based on a terrifying rumor, IRGC intelligence has proposed that, in a surprise move, the remaining Ministry of Intelligence personnel be arrested and exiled to Sistan and Baluchestan, or at the very least, disarmed.
End of the interim report from Tehran for public viewing.

The UAE has left OPEC.

The UAE just walked out of OPEC and OPEC+.
That is not just an oil story. It is a direct ECONOMIC BLOW to the Islamic Republic.
OPEC+ exists to coordinate production, limit supply, and keep prices higher. Iran benefits from that structure because even under sanctions, higher oil prices mean more revenue for the regime.
Now one of the Persian Gulf’s major producers is leaving the table.
The UAE says it will withdraw effective May 1, giving itself more freedom to increase production outside cartel limits. More Emirati oil on the market means more pressure on prices, weaker OPEC+ coordination, and less room for Iran to benefit from artificially tight supply.
That matters because Iran is already UNDER PRESSURE.
Its exports are constrained, storage is filling, revenue is tightening, and the regime is relying on every dollar it can get to fund security forces, proxies, and the state budget.
Lower oil prices hit that model DIRECTLY.
This move also sends a political message. The UAE is signaling it will no longer sit inside a cartel structure that indirectly helps keep Iran’s regime financially alive.
For Iran, the damage is both PRACTICAL AND SYMBOLIC.
-Less support for HIGH OIL PRICES
-Weaker OPEC+ unity
-More Persian Gulf alignment against Iran
-More pressure on regime revenue
The Islamic Republic survives on TIME, OIL REVENUE, AND REGIONAL LEVERAGE.
This move attacks all three.
The UAE gets more freedom. Global markets get more supply. Iran gets more ISOLATION.
That is why this matters.
It weakens the cartel structure that helped cushion the Islamic Republic, and it adds another layer of pressure at the exact moment the regime can least afford it.

I think the regime is lost in how trump negotiates. they are used to Obama/Biden and throwing out threats and getting pallets of cash....
I think they also believed the message coming out of our media stating "Iran has won, Trumps needs to get Iran to agree to a peace deal so he can move on"
I think the misread the temperature in the room, and still dont think they realize the precarious position they sit in. the just went to Russia/Pakistan to get support, but both those countries and China can see the futility of Iran's current position
Do i think Iran is about to cave, no, the yare too intrenched. But time is also NOT on their side. waiting till November to see if there will be a swap in power in congress (taking seats in January) will be too late for their economy
