U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that the U.S. will “completely” obliterate Iran’s electric generating plants, oil wells and Kharg Island if the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz is not “immediately” reopened and a peace deal is not reached “shortly.”

Well, this certainly won't have the price per barrel dropping in the foreseeable future.

I understand the move though.

"a new and more reasonable regime."

I literally laughed out loud.

The regime in Iran, the less reasonable ones still in control wouldn't mind it blown up at all.

They aren't going to bow down to Trump. They are in a game of chicken with Trump where they think they win either way.

Send ten thousand or a hundred thousand Marines and soldiers they say. They don't need to defeat them, only line up a few hundred in bags at Dover and they win the war. The public is in no mood for it.

Both sides have nothing but bad choices before them.

It's the main reason Trump should have waited or not done it at all.

Democrats will impeach him and muster up enough Republicans to remove him over some bullshite and make his legacy multiple impeachments and removed in disgrace.

This is what Trump put on the line in a war of choice.

This is Trump's problem - he threatens to do things and never does them and keeps 'extending' deadlines etc.

Either blow it the frick up or say nothing. This is not 8D chess its 2D stupidity and is becoming a laughingstock.

This is my problem with it, and it's what I've pointed out multiple times. The MAGA faithful continue to do mental gymnastics to justify it but everyone else sees through it. If he blows it up, it's because he threatened to and followed through. If he reverses course, extends deadline, or otherwise TACOs, it's because he's a masterful negotiator and the talks are going well! He can't lose!

Sounds like we may have that escalation any minute now being Iran said they would only allow 20 ships pass today.

Trump and most of the world doesn`t like Iran telling him what can pass and what can`t on international waters.

No telling what Trump has up his sleeve.

No we won’t, this is all bluster to distract from the incoming takeover of the island by the Marines as well as securing both sides of the strait.


Thought this whole thing was to distract from EpStEiN FiLeZ???? Which one is it?

Proving my point instantly

I have to say, a policy where whatever you do is the correct answer is pretty powerful. Other presidents should try that sometime.

Could be some more social media threats, maybe some AI slop video reposts, maybe even another sit down interview with Jake Paul! The options are truly endless

So Trump hasn't backed it up?


We aren't bombing Iran? What are you crying about then?


Didn't think that through did you?
