Yeah. I was thinking about the coastline.
Installing SAMs. Hmm. Might be the only option. But escalation is a real possibility.

Instead of a decimation of the Iranian military (first 60), the next 60 days would be to secure free global trade through the strait.

My expectation was for the next 60 days to focus on the strait with troops on the ground.
I understand your thinking. But stationing troops on land like that in a tight space…That’s a big exposure risk for troops.

How long do you think this Strait of Hormuz situation lasts?
No idea. I don’t think anyone knows, because there’s no good solutions.
How long do you think?
And what is the basis for the timeline?

I don’t think the fact that there’s been four Ayatollahs in the last two weeks make them appear all that strong. No matter how the media tries to frame this.
Everyone’s scared to pass through the Strait now.
That is power that the Iranian regime has now that they didn’t have before.
That’s not media spin. That is looking at a huge backlog of oil tankers sitting in the gulf waiting around.

I hear you, but I don’t know about sending Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner along with JD Vance.
That seems like weak sauce to me.
We need better than just hoping.

Problem is Bibi doesn’t listen to Trump. He dictates to Trump. Hopefully that changes. I really hope so.
I don’t know what “see it through” means for you in terms of US boots on the ground. Because if the people don’t ride up to replace the regime, they aren’t just walking away.
But US Troops would be a no-go for me. It would just end up being an even bigger disaster than just walking away now and losing face…

That Q-anon type of “trust the process” crap gets old for everyone else, except the select few….

Trump should’ve told Bibi no thanks.
Now he’s trapped.
We all remember everyone arguing about whether we had a plan….

When did Trump say he was for Iran charging ships?
Yesterday - when he thought the US could be a part of a joint venture toll booth.
You didn’t see this board get excited about the idea of sticking it to Europe as a bonus?
quote:
So Trump is against the Hormuz toll booth today Tomorrow will he be for it again?
Is it that he does not remember what he said yesterday?
Hard to tell…
Trump should be worrying about what his negotiators are going to be doing to get us out of this fricking mess.
Not wasting time acting thin skinned about criticism…

Which is why some of you dudes need to realize half of his statements are bargaining chips. Yeah, he doesn't follow through on half of his threats, but he's unpredictable and you don't know which half he is serious about. He always goes after way more than he knows he can get, then backs up and settles like clockwork. So chill and let it play out.
This is all true. My take is Karoline needs to chill and let it play out before declaring victory every 48 hours.
It’s more related to Trump not making insane comments today.

I’m not going to criticize Trump for trying to wrap this up. But, this is why he shouldn’t have gotten into it in the first place. He set in motion something that can’t be controlled now.
Aka … escalation trap
Ok now I understood your premise of using Iranian people as ground forces

We will have something better. We will have ninety percent of the Iranian people pointing out the bad guys.
Are you referring to people in the streets?
Viet Cong style disguised guerrillas blending in doesn’t concern you?
Yeah but they are.

Trump agreed to have Pakistan as the mediator so he could call them liars also.
What ceasefire?
You’re smarter than me, and know better than to put stock into Trump’s comments. Congrats
