I’m still trying to figure out how, when all is considered, this is a net win for the US.

*73 year old war. We started this war in 1953


Thank you for confirming POTUS Trump and Secretary Hegseth ended a 73 year old war extremely quickly. Sans the ceasefire it was hugely extremely quickly!!

OP simply sees it as a strategy that yielded short term pain for a very long term gain. OP will take that play 24/7 365 forever.

OP is really good at revisionism?

Why didn't shipping levels return if we controlled the strait?

Severely curtailed the largest terrorist state from continuing their nonsense, at scale, for a decade?

We have seen what they were capable of, imagine if we just sat on our arse for another decade.

I know it would then be......why didnt you do something you knew the threat.

Iran just fought the US, Israel, and combined Arab Gulf States to at worst a stalemate.

There is a reason no US President in 50-ish years has fallen for the Iran trap. We didn't need hindsight to know this was a bad idea.

They would have been marginally more effective than the ineffectiveness we saw?

The justification for the action wasn't terrorism acts in the ME, mainly targeted at Israel, it was that "Iran can't have a nuclear weapon".... The same nuclear weapons program that the June 2025 strikes completely eliminated.

So what was the purpose ot this action? The goal posts keep moving.

The latter except one said it was our strategy to get Europe into this quagmire and one called it fake

None have explained why we engaged in a strategy that hurt our efforts in the war and was the primary reason we capitulated far short of "unconditional surrender"

Is Iran the only country that was prohibited from shipping oil with the closure of the SOH?

You are right probably set them back much more than a decade.

They spent 47 years building a military and in the end they have a few guys in bayliners attacking cargo ships.

I have noticed that quite a few posters on this board think that only Iranian shipping traffic moves through the Strait.
