Hit and destroy the source of the drones and missiles and keep hitting them.
Where none of the 12,000 sites hit during the strikes against Iran along the coast? Should have hit them the first week of strikes.

If tweet fails to load, click here. Well POTUS, WTF are you waiting for? Quit making threats and start taking action. Quit saying stupid crap like "They want to make a deal" and get on with it. If they wanted to actually make a deal, they would have done so by now.
Again, quit trying to be a dove, in a vain attempt to create dialog with a bunch of 7th century inbreds.

Let's take a look at the current situation.
-The US/Israel have been working up targeting packages ever since the cease fire began. We have been watching them.
We know where just about everything is.
--We know the locations of key IRGC people, equipment and facilities. We can track their movements
--We know the locations of key Iranian leadership
--We know where missiles and drones were launched and we have tracked their movements.
--We know where and what they have done to repair areas and systems that were bombed earlier in the war
--We know the location of their key infrastructure for oil/gas/energy
--We know the locations of their drone and missile manufacturing supply chain and their warehouses. We will destroy them.
--We will continue to Blockade the Strait
--We will bomb again the areas where the nuclear dust is located and continue to monitor what Iran does afterwards.
The plan would be to wipe out whatever Trump and his team decide to wipe out. It will be up to Trump how badly we send them back to the stone age.
In response Iran will:
--Try to bomb key facilities of their neighbors by hitting them with drones and missiles. However, we can see and track from where all of this is launched. It will be a "one time" use for Iran, because we will destroy them.
--They will try to take out ships in the area of Hormuz. Again, we can track all launches of drones, missiles and speed boats and take them out. It will be a "one-time" use.
The price of oil will continue to be high until consumers find alternative ways to get oil and gas without using the strait. There are alternatives like getting it from Texas/Louisiana. The strait will continue to be a risky area to traverse for commercial ships.
My prediction is the end result will be a major Iranian economic collapse unless they capitualte and fully open the strait for business.

What we need is a less expensive and more efficient way of dealing with an enemy that flies $1000 drones using X-Box controllers and attacks $2.5 billion guided missile destroyers with boats that any old baw can purchase from Bass Pro.
Where do these direct energy weapons supposedly fit in?
Several message from POTUS state that we have "Direct Energy Dominance" and pictures of targets being blown out of the sky by lasers from space and ships.
More bluster or real world working weapons?

So instead of a drone operator you get a 15 year old to "play" a game, he is actually smoking targets and paying you for the opportunity and never knows the difference.
No PTSD no $120K a year for a drone operator, winner winner chicken dinner.
Great idea! We don't need an expensive military. All we need is a bunch of pimply faced kids and 30+ year old incels who still live in their mother's basement. Outfit them all with new X-Boxes and a new game called "Attack on Tehran", and tell them to have at it.
Bonus points for killing anyone wearing an IRGC uniform or a turban.

Bonus is they pay you for the game, hardware etc.
No USAF Major "flying" a drone, no ptsd and you make money for your black programs.

During the fighting, Israel was using it's Iron Beam batteries to knock drones out of the sky, so directed energy weapons are real. Now if we have them on our ships yet, I don't know.

Believe the biggest tactical error to date was failure to stop/strafe the insurgency of the mercenaries from Iraq....that one event altered the situation on Iranian ground and we are at a loss...hence, the hesitation

I have heard of a plan to arm the Iranian teenagers with game controllers and drones. Just something I have read.

I think the biggest mistake we made was thinking that whatever government they had remaining would capitulate after we took out their top several layers of leadership, sunk their Navy and eliminated their Air Force.
It seems like their organizational structure was more robust than we assumed, and they've studied asymmetrical warfare tactics.
Kind of like Russia just rolling into the Donbas and expecting Ukraine to sue for peace.

I’m pretty sure our intel agencies had a good idea of what was going to happen. They may just have been ignored.

Anything we have "heard" isn't worth the breath to say it.

Did not know Orson Scott Card was a DARPA researcher

Reality follows.
The biggest difference was the upside of getting them to pay for the fun of playing the game
And the specialty hardware.

Trump pulls an inverse TACO today. Claims an attack was planned for tomorrow, but postpones it lol…

Holding off at the request of other Muslim nations again.... When will he realize that at this point it's just one ideology trying to protect itself, despite it's factional differences?

Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP."

He's become pathetic at this point. He's only concerned about the reaction of the stock market to any renewed military action. "Serious negotiations are now taking place...a deal will be made". How many times have we heard that nonsense? The Iranian leaders (whoever remains) have to be loving this.
