My question to Little Marco is if we've destroyed those Iranian capabilities how can the Iranian military continue to close the Strait of Hormuz??


Yeah Rubio sounds awfully optimistic here. I would be ecstatic with what he laid out if they can achieve it.

Now that all the Gulf states are enemies of Iran , those Gulf states can infiltrate and buy a takeover of the regime. Unlimited money wields a great deal of power… this will happen MMW

You're joking, right? A peek at current oil prices answers your silly question.

But if you need more confirmation here is what Grok has to say about it:

quote:

As of March 26, 2026, nearly 2,000 ships, including a significant number of oil tankers, are waiting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz due to heightened tensions and safety concerns.

Shipping traffic has slowed to roughly three to four vessels per day, creating massive congestion and interrupting global energy supplies.

It has the ability to affect agriculture as well. Fertilizer shortages = lower crop yields = more people starving to death.

If this shite doesn't end soon there will be long lasting and irreversible damage that we'll have to answer for.

Small price to pay for helping our best friend! I'm sure they'd do the same if needed!

On February 28, we were all assured this would be over in 2 weeks. On March 12th, we, again, were told this would all be over in 2 weeks. Now, it’s March 27th, and we are being told this will all be over in 2-4 weeks.

Anyone see a pattern here???

So the regime survives, the Iranian population will suffer for it and in 6 months "Iran will be 30 days from a nuke."

Israel is going to be desperate to drag Trump deeper into this mess.

This is a very dangerous time.

If you think they can rebuild an army, navy, and not only restock drones and missiles, but first rebuild all the factories that make them in less than "years," you're kind of silly.

I recall Rumsfeld saying something along the lines of, “six days, six weeks…certainly not six months.”

We were told “two weeks” two weeks ago. How gullible are Republicans at this point who believe this bullshite? This is “two weeks to slow the spread” all over again.

was told that Trump and everyone at the DOW completely misjudged the resolve of the IRGC and that this would cost tens of thousands of USAF lives.




Considering there has been no regime change and apparently now we have given up on that I clearly think he did in fact underestimate the resolve

Sure thing, gumdrop. Make sure to check back in with us and let us know how well that perspective stands up over time.

Iran is doing so well, they have lowered the age of enlistment to 12.

Maybe it's just me, but that does not sound like they're operating from a position of strength.
