re: WSJ: Trump thought opening Hormuz Straight was imminent, Iran had other plans

The Strait is not closed in any real sense, and over time, there will be adjustments in perception that will result in Iran's power over commerce declining to near zero.

Follow through with what?
What exactly do you want him to do?
Last week he bluffed with "the largest military operation since WW2" . The Iranians said: "OK, bring it."
And he backed off.
So tell me exactly what you want him to do.

It has been fascinating watching the goals of this war ever so gradually shift from destroying their nukes and getting "the dust", destroying their rocket launchers and capacity to manufacture rockets, cutting off their proxies, and regime change to......
Opening the Strait of Hormuz.
Now, the only goal we ever hear anything about is the Strait.
Yep….and at first it was “unconditional surrender”. Trump failed epically with Iran. Iran is toying with him now. What a buffoon.

Trump is going to take the L on Iran... just depends on when he realizes that and how much more American's have to pay before he does so.

Fascinating, or depressing? Are we not all on the same side in agreement to annihilate the shite stain that is the leadership of Iran?

Hank, the result is the same and just as advantageous for Iran…
The U.S. has succeeded militarily, but as the Vietnamese general responded when it was pointed out that the U.S. had won every tactical battle: “that may be true, but it’s irrelevant”.

What I don’t understand is how the US can’t annihilate all of their Strait blocking operations?
Eye-ran has spent 40-something years building missile systems deep in the mountain areas plus ports for their mosquito boats.
Plus the chi-coms and rooskies have been smuggling weapons through Pakistan, the Caspian sea, A-Stan, surrounding areas and even Eye-rack.
Eye-ran is a large country, about 1/4 the size of the continental US.
Add in the fact that our so-called media is putting out propaganda trying to derail the whole operation.
The rats are doing their best to block, ambush DJT, and provide interference for the ccp, russians, and the IRGC.
You can bet that chyna and russia is feeding the IRGC intel, there are moles inside our operations.
chyna was caught trying to smuggle in shoulder-fired rocket systems. Its really easy for a bad guy to hide out with one of those and pop out quickly off a mountaintop and fire one off.
The IRGC and the mullahs know once this thing finally collapses, the Iranian people are going to be out for blood, and many will face brutal deaths. Many will face the same fate that Mussolini faced after the fall of the fascist in Italy in WWII.

Trump already has the W on Iran.
All objectives achieved.
Social media posts declaring Iran the victor can not really change that.

Exactly. It's not anymore complicated than this.

Is it just impossible for you to stick to the subject instead of making juvenile insults on others? Do you not have the intelligence to do this? You used to be a better poster.

Are you on topic? You’re worried about me. Clown

“All objectives”? lolol
Nuclear program still exists as far as anyone knows, and the radical regime remains in power. The IRGC controls the government…

He's gone from we'll only accept unconditional surrender to complete capitulation that the Iranians refuse to accept because they believe they can get more. Worst negotiator ever!!!

Honestly didn't expect you could answer the questions. You are a sad man. Good luck in life.

In 2025 the Straight exported about $3 billion of Oil and about $1.5 billion of LNG per week.
Last week three tankers tried. One got through, one had to turn around, and one got blown up.
So roughly $5 billion a week has turned into something like $500 million a week.
And you say it's not effectively closed?

This isn't all on Trump, he got some very bad intelligence.

I agree. Listen to Caine and GTFO there. Claim a win and go home.
Yeah. That’s correct. Time to leave.
But the issue is that the US bombing campaign caused the IRGC closing of the strait. So if there was a a sticking point, it would be about just leaving while the strait is closed or Iran is charging tolls.
The solution to that problem needs to be solved.
Don’t take the bait anything else.

We have these things called cruisers and destroyers. On board is this ageis system. 4 of them running convoys at all times in the strait opens it right now. Amy shots taken results in Isreal being allowed to smoke the highest ranking irgc member they can find. Boom strait open
