There probably will be areas that we take for forward bases that they won't even know about till we're gone. Same thing we did with the F15 rescue. You know they've been pouring Manpads into the zone. Gonna be spicey in the beginning, then we'll own it all again and bring in the heavies. Start reminding people what an Arc Light with smart weapons looks like.

WATTERS: “The New York Times is reporting our military is preparing for another round of attacks.”
“This time more aggressive.”
“The attacks can come as early as Monday. Additional Iranian military targets are on the table, that includes infrastructure.”
“The president still reportedly considering a special operations raid to pull out the nuclear dust and possibly a ground assault on Kharg Island.”
The next phase of strikes on Iran could be imminent.
IF this is true, WHO is the leaker? Whoever it is deserves some serious jail time.

Islamic Republic state TV is now openly showing civilians how to use AK-47s through Basij-linked programming.
This is the deliberate militarization and radicalization of society by a regime that knows that the vast majority of Iranians reject their rule.
The Basij has long functioned as the regime’s street militia, used to crush protests, intimidate civilians, and enforce ideological control.
The regime increasingly treats ordinary Iranian protesters and dissidents as “enemy elements” and internal threats rather than citizens with rights.
That is why much of this training is not truly about foreign defense. It is about preparing loyalist forces for internal repression, crackdowns, and the violent suppression of Iranians demanding freedom and dignity.
While ordinary Iranians struggle with inflation, corruption, poverty, and repression, the regime pushes guns, indoctrination, and perpetual conflict instead of peace and prosperity.
The Islamic Republic does not want a free, normal, and prosperous society.
It wants a militarized population conditioned to defend the regime at all costs - even against fellow Iranians.

The United States and Israel are preparing target lists for possible military strikes on Iran as early as next week.
According to CNN, military planners are finalizing options focused on Iran’s nuclear facilities, missile sites, and key military infrastructure.
If diplomacy fails, the region could be on the brink of a major escalation.

If the new targets are "nuclear facilities, missile sites, and key military infrastructure" as the article says, then that's just more of the same targets we've been striking all along. Unless they include power plants within the term "military infrastructure," but that's generally regarded as civilian infrastructure.
The threat Trump made with five separate tweets was to hit bridges and power plants, and, if we want them to take us seriously, that's what we should hit if we resume airstrikes.

By all appearances we aren't close to a diplomatic solution. Nothing that i can see.
The only options I can see are: resume bombing. Or pack up and go home. What other options are there?

How about we just do what we set out to do with Project Freedom.
It worked well for one day, and then we shut it down.
Just start it back up again.

Any thoughts on why we are waiting and have been waiting on finishing off what military assets Iran and their proxies have left?
This is being reported this morning by Al Jazeera. If it is true, then we are in for more of the same - negotiations that go nowhere.
This will really piss Lindsey Graham off.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said during a BRICS meeting that Tehran had received communication from the administration of US President Donald Trump indicating openness to new negotiations aimed at ending the war. However, Araghchi said a “deadlock” remained over the issue of Iran’s enriched nuclear material.
Trump also suggested he could be open to Iran placing its civilian nuclear programme on hold for two decades, provided Tehran demonstrates what he described as a genuine commitment to a broader agreement.

Time to arm the uprising. Spirit in communications, arms and suicide drones. Ideally, have drones deliver drones while air attack mayhem covers the deliveries and keeps the IRGC dug deeply into their holes.
Israel used some remotely controlled drones to break up an IRGC check point. As soon as the drone showed up, the check point scattered like roaches when the light is turned on.

I'm not a Pahlavi supporter, don't have any opinion of the man. But do you have a source for the statements above? The Pahlavi family was undoubtedly wealthy, grandfather and father were the monarchs of Iran from 1925 to 1979, but I can't find any reports that the current Reza Pahlavi (son of the last Shah), who moved to the US in 1978 at age 18, stole money and transferred it to his sister. I found one obscure source with an unverified (no mention of specific assets) statement that he's worth $2 billion, but that may be based on his family's estimated net worth at the time of the revolution, while other sources put his net worth at ~$20 million.

You own stock in a drone manufacturing company I am guessing?

Nah. Just know that locally operated attack drones would have the IRGC shitting their pants.
The reasons this would work are many. Lots of gamers need little or no training to handle drones. The controllers are often the same as their gaming units.
Controllers remain unseen and undetectable and can strike from a mile or more away depending on the drone's range.
Local uprising controllers have direct knowledge of the targets in their area while the drones provide an HD video feed of their quarry with direct visual confirmation.
As long as there are not too many drone attacks coming from the same area, danger to the operators would be minimal.

Yet people are wondering why this has become an unpopular war. Our soldiers sitting around twiddling their thumbs, constant C17’s everywhere. Refueling for what? Our Air Force isn’t scaring the regime. All they do in response is lob missiles at our allies. Saudi and UAE have got to be fed up with these delays. It’s costing them millions in damage as a result.

Still have our big beautiful tweets! That has worked well so far.
