Iran has no more nukes.


Trump is requiring them to relinquish all enriched uranium and to agree not to develop a nuclear bomb. That is the bar. They never had nukes. They apparently do have enriched uranium.

What is laughable? What will we do to end this? I'm guessing you will say, we crash their economy or we will blow up every power plant and bridge in the country as Trump has said. Why haven't we done this? Iranians have been stringing us along.


When they shut their wells in they are done economicly

Of course not. I don't know the answer other than we better not let them end up with any sort of victory. And it will take some work to get them there. I hope the Israelis still have good intelligence on who's where on the ground.

today Pakistan opened up 6 land routes to THEIR ports effectively making an end run around the blockade.


How do you think they’re going to transport the millions of barrels of oil over land? They can’t build land transportation overnight ie tankers, etc. and if they do we blow them up

Currently we sit at stalemate whereby as the US declares the straits open

Thats like saying two guys in a barfight are now at a stalemate because one refuses to get back up off the ground

And youre declaring him the winner. Because he isnt currently getting his teeth kicked in. And now no one can exit the bar, because there is a crush at the door trying to witness the stalemate, due the winner on the ground

uhhhh, try again

Uh, no, it is not like that. If Iran is able to close the straits, it is a victory for them all the while the Mullahs and IRGC remain in charge. Our demand for them is to give us enriched uranium and give up on the missile and nuke programs. They've said they will do neither.

But is not. Because they can throw some skiffs out there you think it’s a stalemate??
Bessent just moved to confiscate the IRG and family members wealth abroad. They are storing oil in busted arse tanks and tankers that haven’t been used in years. We’re confiscating their assets on the seas globally. They don’t have many options left or really any.

TDS causes movement of the goal post. I love the humiliation that is taking place over there. They can not even name leadership due to life expectancy of those named.

Yes, we are doing things. The stalemate is the minimal ship traffic going through. AI says either four or five passed through today.
AI says there are 2000 stranded.

Uh, if the Iranians aren’t exporting oil it’s no victory for them. This should have been done long ago. Give them a choice. They can cause trouble or they can export oil. But not both.

I think Trump severely underestimated the resolve of the regime

They are not rational people. They don’t care about shutting in oil wells or their economy crashing or their people suffering. They’ll try to run out the clock

Our real options are either take the latest deal they offered and call it a win knowing it’ll be over a decade before they are remotely a threat again, or put boots on the ground to retrieve the uranium by force and eliminate as much of the IRGC as possible
